We are hot, trendy, retro, and so ready hit the pool. That's why Jeremy Somers of People Like Us and Indhra Chagoury of Oscar and Elvis Swimwear created We Are Handsome's notable line of swimsuits that could quite possibly be art gallery worthy. Their collaborative talents are showcased in vintage-photo like one-pieces named after abstract places such as Jupiter, Hollywood and Delaware that depict essence-capturing posters of culture as they each feature scenes that reminisce of their site of influence. The vivid and somewhat provocative scenes make the post-card like swimwear seem perfect for a day of roller-blading down Venice Beach's boardwalk -- or with the right pair of frayed jean shorts and gladiator sandals, they're fit for a day of outdoor mall shopping on a hot summer's day. While everyone else blends together poolside with their string bikinis and halter suits, these pieces will surely blow the best of them out of the water. With high bikini cuts and low necklines, they're as attractive as they seem comfortable for care-free water wading. Check out the chicest swimsuit prints of the summer and take awe to We Are Handsome's handsome mantra to beach fashion. Take a peek at the slideshow to get a taste of some creative beach fashion!
Suiting Up For The Opportunity, Inspired By Ryden Malby in Post Grad!

After earning her degree, Post Grad protagonist Ryden Malby (played by Alexis Bledel) is bugging out on account of the economy's grim job market. It's a rocky boat to find yourself on, but don't let the hiring regrets get you down. It's easy to sit back and mope, but times like these require young adults like us to jump into the trenches and to keep putting our best food forward. Persistence is key, and no matter how many interviews you sweat through until you land what you need to launch your career, your efforts count. One of the best foot-in-the-door techniques for an interview is to dress like you own the place. Impressing the recruitment director with class that even shows up the CEO will certainly get you noticed as someone who's ready to suit up to be a member of the team. A wardrobe of suits, vests and blazers, however, doesn't need to look as bland as your father's closet: take a peek at our slideshow for a stylish way to blow your interviewer away! Keep your heads up, all you college grads -- the economy can't stay like this forever!
