Have you been sitting at your desk, fantasizing about your next beachy getaway? MIKOH Swimwear founders Kalani and Oleema Miller know exactly what that's like, and have even found most of their inspiration in their daydreams of vacations past (and future!). Their latest collection draws from their favorite tropical places to visit -- Bali, Fiji, Australia, and even California -- and the sisters-turned-design-partners seek to create the perfect swimsuit, not only for your body, but for enjoying a vacay to its fullest! Their flattering yet innovative cuts involve geometric cut-outs, twisted details, and plenty of flirty "cheekiness," while the color palette is reminiscent of warm sandy beaches, crystal-blue waters, coral reefs, and volcanic landscapes. MIKOH is all about making one's fashionable mark on the world, and what better opportunity to do that than a tropical vacation with the perfect suit? Take a look at the slideshow for a peek at their latest collection!

How do you say luxury in Hawaiian? Mae e ho'ohiwahiwa ai ka noho 'na. But while that may be a mouthful, finding a Hawaiian example of luxury is simple -- just look to The Royal Hawaiian Resort. Located on Waikiki Beach, Starwood's 529-room "Pink Palace of the Pacific" takes its cues from its luscious natural surroundings, as well as the history and culture of the island. Marvel at the property's 1920s Moorish architecture, lounge in a beachfront cabana, sip a tropical cocktail at its oceanside Mai Tai Bar, or try an alfresco massage in the garden, courtesy of the on-site Abhasa Spa. And don't miss 'Ah 'Aina, the Royal Hawaiian's weekly dinner and show featuring local cuisine along with dancers and musicians telling the story of Waikiki. Aloha, indeed!
