Beach Bunny bikinis are all the craze in the OC. I was thinking about buying one last summer (I can be such a trend follower sometimes- one of my downfalls) but I chickened out because I was afraid that people would think I was wearing lingerie at the beach and pool. Of course they would be sexy as lingerie but as bikinis? Also, I showed my bf a photo of them and he said they were cheesy and tacky as bikinis. Hmmm....
I think it's so cute though!

I love this one (maybe as lingerie though). It was on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Would you wear a Beach Bunny? Are they popular in your city? Or is this one of those "OC" looks?
Sooo....what's the verdict? Trashy or Classy?
P.S. I am going to Vegas next weekend so maybe I could pull this look off there. Hahaha.
Have a sexy weekend!
I think maybe a little of both but it doesn depend where you are wearing them at too! Like vegas it would work. I want to go there so bad. I am jealous. You are going to have to give me a list sometime of the things I should really check out there because this Summer I might just be going but not for sure just yet. Have a great weekend. Daisy~
ReplyDeleteYeah, anything goes in Vegas! And I am sure that you could get away with this at Venice Beach too.
ReplyDeleteI miss Cali! I used to live in Pasadena, and moved out to Houston 5 months ago. I definitely don't see these being on any TX beaches, hehehe.
I have seen these around...not my thing. They are cute, but not as bikinis. It would totally work in Vegas though!
ReplyDeletewell i don't have the bod for these, but i don't think i would wear them even if i did. as lingerie, tho, they are super!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking... No for the beach/ pool. I think one has to be selective w/ bikinis in general... leave just something tiny for the imagination... those just invite bedroom. An exclusive resort w/ your sweetie: sure, but not for the public. I agree however that in Vegas you would prob. not be alone 'tis "Sin City" afterall.
ReplyDeleteI want to go on a girl-escapade w/ u someday.
when I first saw them, I actually thought it was lingerie--which for lingerie, I would buy them in a hot second...for bikinis...I think it could work but I'm pretty sure I couldn't pull it off. Pretty, though! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would say trashy BUT classy ! It's always great to hear from the OC through your blog, hun. And you would totally look amazing in your Vegas hotel room, for sure ;)

As adorable as they are, I couldn't do it. Maybe for a low key day sun tanning, but not for a pool party or something super social. With that said, anything goes in Vegas!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I added the instructions to my DIY file cabinet!
hmmm tough call indeed...honestly it is trashy..but at the same time, some of it is so cute! maybe as a once off purchase..i wouldn't buy more than one pair. for special occasion fun perhaps!
ReplyDeletegood post! hope all is well :)

I was raised in Fullerton, so I can see all the people that hang out in trashy downtown Fullerton wear this. Some are cute, but like you said, it looks too much like lingerie!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a wicked HOT combination of the two... and I tried to comment on your recent Zooey post, but it wouldn't let me. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love her. xxx
I was at a cutting service in LA that cuts for Beach Bunny (I'm an apparel Production Manager) and they said they are doing very well - quantities keep increasing. Which is amazing considering this economy and that they're a fairly new company. Obviously they have a niche market that loves them! I hadn't even heard of Beach Bunny and I thought it was lingerie when I saw their samples. My vote: trashy! As swim wear, it's over the top, trying too hard to be sexy.
ReplyDeleteWhile I loooove the look, its just so hard to believe they are bikini's, I just see lingerie. While its gorgeous, and I love every single one, It looks like it can even get wet. haha I know most people dont get their bathing suits even wet anymore, but the material looks like it would be damaged or something. I think it def looks like lingerie, but I dont think its trashy, they are gorgeous. Im just not so sure about seeing them up on the beach haha. Love them though.
ReplyDeleteI would not wear those in public beach or pool. Men have enough trashy thoughts about women and don't want to give them any more boost with that.
