Australia and Red

By: Janine Berey | Follow her on Twitter

The Australian beaches offer so much color and texture, meaning we knew we needed a vibrant color to enhance the scenery—the hidden rock treasures and breathtaking sunsets. (This photo was taken on the Narrabeen beach in northern Sydney, one of Australia’s iconic surfing and swimming spots.) Against this backdrop, we chose red, a bold, strong color that complements any skin tone and demands attention.

The red Acacia swimsuit has intricate hints of detail that highlight Jessica’s appeal, and the color really pops against her tan skin and dark features. The designer created a fun, multidimensional suit with sexy cutouts on the bikini straps and zigzag stitching on the bottoms. The unique string tassels can be worn over the shoulder or just hanging in the back. These simple touches add a playful element that makes this suit really stand out.

MJ styled this shot with delicate, simple gold and neutral jewelry because she wanted the primary focus to be the suit. A funky Bhati Beads bracelet was paired with a few Kate Davis tassel bracelets. Jessica is also wearing a leather band ring by By Boe and gold rings by Rockabella Jewels. The dainty gold necklace by Alyse Ziede is a great way to complete the look. A powerful, sexy photo—perfect for Australia.

The gold hardware is a gorgeous accessory. The beautiful pattern is a mixture of muted red colors that gives the suit a feminine, but sexy feel.

Why I Like This Look

This tiny, super sexy suit covers just the right amount. The knit detail overlaying the red fabric is stunning. It has a hint of gold shimmer, which accentuates the intricate details and makes the color pop.
