Event Date(s): 04/17/2004 | Event Location(s): New York City, New York | Description: Brown is joined outside of Studio 1A in New York City, New York by style expert Alison Deyette. In interview Deyette says "Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, ray of--frazien looks--range--different ranges of looks for your different body shapes as well. Yeah, let's bring them out. First two models are Phillipa and Simone, and they're wearing the updated classic black one-piece suit. Because every girl looks good in a black one-piece. First up, Phillipa's wearing a scalloped neckline, halter-style one-piece from Miraclesuit for $126. What I love about this one, it has Spandex it. It's got Lycra, three times as much Lycra compared to any other swimsuit, so it slims your curves, hugs your body just right and won't lose its shape. It sucks you in comfortably, sucks you in comfortably. So you look fabulous if you didn't get a chance to work out. And we put it with a graphic print sarong and some very sexy thong sandals from Carlos Santana. And then on Simone, it's--again, one piece also looks fabulous. She is wearing one from TJ Maxx for only $20, because so many people are buying more than one swimsuit each season, and then we gave it the embellishment of the little leopard belt, which kind of--at her waistline, slims her waistline, the little white mesh hoody. And then some--a great pair of sandals from Rafe New York. Thank you, ladies. Adama, and she. Stripes and hardware, because it's all about the embellishments. This. No, this is a sexy look. Not for the shy. This is from J.Lo. And it, too, is made with the Lycra. Because here's our tip from Style Bakery: If you're looking for a swimsuit, avoid ones that are made with all cotton because they're going to sag and stretch out of shape before the season is done. So look for ones with Lycra because they're going to keep their shape, the color stays strong and they fit your curves. And we--you know, we just took all the embellishments of the little O-ring belt around the hips, the great turquoise from head to toe, the accessories, from chandelier earrings, the Jelly Kelly bag and, love the Dr. Scholl's with the little rhinestone buckle detail. Next up is Adriana, and this is our sporty chic look. This is from Lands' End, and they call it their Beach Living Separates. And the idea is for you--whether you're a mom and you want a more conservative look running after the kids, or you want to be able to go from the beach to shopping to even playing tennis. You can match these separates together. It's a halter style, but it is swimwear. It's a--it's a--you can actually swim in it. It's swimwear material, and then there's a little skirt with a bikini attached underneath. And the idea is, they like the fact that it's a swimwear material, but you can go from running after the kids by the pool, by the beach, to shopping. Right. Exactly. And then we paired up a Lands' End striped, you know, beach tote with a nautical rope detail and then some great, you know, little flip-flops. And then, I just love--and then every girl needs great sunglasses. These are by Guess, these are from Pearl Vision, a pair of great sporty Bolle sunglasses. Thank you. Next up are our floral prints, because what--you know, girls always look great in floral prints, especially when they're really eye-popping colors. First up is Stephanie. This is the surfer-girl inspired one, the Hawaiian print. And this is actually a rash guard top. And the idea is that surfer girls and boys wear a top called a rash guard because they're up and off the surfboard so often. It protects their arms and their chest area. But it comes with the whole bikini. So you've got the bikini top underneath and then the little string bikini bottom. And this is by Surfside, exclusive at Mar--Mervyn's. And it's also totally affordable, $22 each. And then we've added, of course, the beach towel and the flip flops and the J. Crew hat. Yes, it is. If you want still the two-piece idea, but you want something that's a little more conservative, a little more coverage you go with the tankini style. This is by American Eagle Outfitters at AE.com. It's $54. And then we ma--made it more sophisticated. We added the straw bag with the leather detail from Rafe New York, and again another pair of Dr. Scholl's sandals. Simone is next, and it's all about the polka dots. The teeny-weeny--yeah, exactly. So I love--again, it's a halter style, the boy shorts. It's definitely reminiscent of the classic pinup girls. This one is from Marshall's. You do. That's the tip. We'll tell you, you have to be tall and thin to wear boy shorts because if you're not, it's only going to accentuate your bottom half. This is for--available at Marshall's. It, too, is only 20 bucks. And then we paired it with a great Lulu Guinness straw bag with the poppy details on the side, and a great pair of sandals. And again, you got to have your sunglasses. And these are from Pearl Vision. Yep. This is our finale. This is Lavilliva. This is the sexy, sexy cutout. It's this one-piece that's missing a lot of it. This is from Everything But Water. We picked this up at the Mall at Short Hill. And that's what the trend is, take the one piece, cut out the details. This almost feels like you're wearing a bikini. And the other details are the sunglasses from Ralph--from Ralph Lauren, and then the sexy thong sandals from Carlos Santana. And that's definitely a poolside look. Thank you, Campbell. Models walk on set modelling the swimsuits discussed.
