Beautiful, longer-lasting, better fit.

Xtra Life LYCRA® fiber is the new standard in swimwear, delivering beautiful, long-lasting fit that counters the curse of 'bag and sag'.

As well as addressing common problems in swimwear quality, such as thinning material and shape loss, one key area where Xtra Life LYCRA® fiber makes a notable difference to performance and lifespan is in combating the effects of chlorine. Swimming pool chemicals rapidly deteriorate fibers and fabrics, affecting the longevity of swimwear, but Xtra Life LYCRA® fiber resists chlorine and other pool chemicals 5-10 times longer than unprotected elastane, allowing garments to keep their shape.

The WARA SWIM collection incorporates Xtra Life LYCRA® fiber into every garment, making materials incredibly comfortable, and unbelievably supportive: it produces a flattering look without sacrificing anything in comfort.

Now, with Xtra Life LYCRA® fiber, every woman can enjoy swimsuits with the very best fit, without fear that the beautiful swimwear she loves has lost its shape.

LYCRA® is a trademark of INVISTA.

Can’t wait for summer to wear your new swimwear?

Don’t fret, even though the cold temperatures are taking over the northern hemisphere, there’s still half a world where you can enjoy the warmth of the sun right now.

Take Australia for example, the largest country in the word completely surrounded by water, has more than 15,500 miles of coastline. This means sun drenched beaches, wild seas, pristine blue lagoons and colorful reefs await your arrival.

Take a break from the frosty weather and hectic lifestyle, and head over to Load Howe Island to stay at the Capella Lodge, where its sculpted mountain peaks welcome visitors to this small island in the Tasman Sea.

This island group is part of UNESCO world heritage list due to the extraordinary diversity of wildlife. With clear views over the Pacific Ocean and the world’s southern-most coral reef, Capella Lodge rests above Lord Howe Island's tiny, secret beach at Lover's Bay and at the foot of the imperious twin peaks, Mounts Gower and Lidgbird. As the most exclusive property in the island, it has the best views, and beautiful accommodations.

Home to one of the cleanest beaches in Australia, you will certainly have not trouble showing off your beautiful swimwear. To book your vacation visit www.lordhowe.com

Keep Your Swimwear Looking Like New

To ensure your swimwear remains in good condition and does not fray or fade, you should always ensure you follow the special care instructions supplied with each garment. The following guidelines will also help you:

•  Do not leave wet swimwear rolled up

•  Rinse your swimwear thoroughly after each wearing

•  Do not wring, just squeeze gently to get rid of excess moisture

•  Wash in cold or just lukewarm water with a gentle detergent

•  Follow the washing guidelines supplied with each garment

•  Do not dry in full sunlight

Finding the Perfect Fit Swimsuit

Today we are focusing on the hips. If you’d like to make your hips do the talking, chose bikini bottoms that emphasize this attribute. Draw attention to this area with low rise cuts, tie sides, and added embellishments. We recommend a Triangle Top and Tie Bottom.

If you are looking to minimize those curves, choose styles that draw attention away from the hips, like solid and darker color bottoms, as well as details on the top. We recommend a Halter Top and Hip-hugger Bottom.

Friday Quote

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

- Henry David Thoreau
