The recent end of Miami Fashion Week has all us Bees buzzing over the newest swimsuits and accessories; plus the stars say you're destined for at least another two months of fun in the sun! While you may be a little behind in picking up a whole slew of brand-new bathing suits, it's never too late to splurge on a cool caftan, pareo, maxi dress, or other means of keeping your sexy suit incognito until it's time to dive in. Not sure how you should cover-up in the latter half of summer? Let the fates be your guide!

    Effortlessly fashionable Angelina Jolie has been seen numerous times toting her kids and traveling all around in a luxurious Gerard Darel maxi dress. Darel's designs are feminine and classic with just a twist of vintage quirk thrown in. Angelina's favorite seems to be the cocoa brown, strapless "Angel" maxi featured here, but has also been seen in black versions and ones with straps. Even little Zahara gets her fashion wings early in her own lavender Gerard Darel top! With his use of luxurious fabrics and fluid silhouettes that show just enough of your decolletage and shoulders, Darel's dresses are the perfect summer piece for sophisticated and comfortable elegance. Want one just like Angie's? The dresses retail for $548 and are available at select Bloomingdale's stores!

    Change Last Year's Trendy Maxi Dress To This Season's Mini ...

    Summer 2008 was the summer of the maxi dress, sweet and long, with a full, feminine skirt, and sometimes with a naughty plunging neckline. This dress was on the runways, on celebrities, and in stores everywhere from cheapies at Forever 21 to high-end Donna Karan. I have to admit that I also had a summer maxi dress, one that I nabbed from H&M for a mere $12.90! But now what's a gal to do in summer 2009 when flirty, short skirts and mini dresses are the new trend? Like any budget-minded crafty girl, I'm ready to take to the scissors and sewing machine. This alteration draws inspiration from the spring 2009 runway shows of Anna Sui, BCBG Max Azria, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. These little dresses are so perfect to wear with a belt or under cropped cardigans and shirts. To convert our maxi, we're going to use a technique called draping. For this project, you will need either a dress form or a friend to wear your dress while you drape or reposition the skirt and pin it into place. Put on your designer's cap for a bit as you move the dress to design the best skirt shape for you!

    Style Surprise: 10 Smart Maxi Dresses With Summer Sex Appeal

    Just because a dress is long and covers your stems, doesn€™t mean it can€™t be sexy €“ after all, leaving something to the imagination can be awfully alluring. Maxi (or long) dresses are all the rage for summer €“ while the airy skirt still keeps you cool, there€™s the added protection from UV rays as an added bonus, if you€™re worried about that kind of thing. My friend Catherine is €“ she just spent the weekend at the beach and came home with a nasty, splotchy, and painful burn all over the tops of her shins, so she€™ll be living in dresses like these for the rest of the summer.

    Celeb Style: 8 Maxi Dresses Both Sexy AND Forgiving

    Forget minis for the moment. To compensate for the return of more body-conscious, form-fitting silhouettes, designers have thrown us all a bone and brought back the maxi dress to give us a chic way to cover it up when we€™re facing that inevitable battle of the bloat. The maxi is a rare breed of clothing, one which manages to be sexy despite offering tons of coverage. Choose a style with a plunging neckline, show off the always seductive neckline with a strapless or halter style, hug your curves in a body-skimming style, or hide them behind a more billowy silhouette. There are tons of amazing maxi's out there, so check out my SLIDESHOW for some of my favorites.
