Influenced by classic films from the 1930s and 40s and the “classic American movie start style,” Norma Kamali introduced the iconic Bill swimsuit decades ago. A feminine skirted silhouette with a sweetheart halter neckline with ruching is flattering on every body type. The chic, fun, and elegant retro style is here to stay. Who said you have to wear a two-piece to be sexy?
Luckily, Kamali reintroduced the Bill swimsuit last year in a range of colors at an affordable price ($98), available exclusively at her flagship store in New York City and online. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the new, affordable style, Norma Kamali will be giving away four swimsuits on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Foursquare. Can I get one of every color, please?

[I apologize for the incredible paleness of my legs in these pics!]
In the world of fashion, black is always a safe, chic choice. I easily have eight lbds that I wear on a regular basis, with brands ranging from Target to J.Crew and Calvin Klein to Norma Kamali with styles ranging from boatneck to strapless, empire to full-skirted numbers. The one thing that always remains the same across all of these styles? The ability to include a ‘stunner’ – a terrific accessory- be it footwear, earrings, necklaces, or bracelets, that give your lbd a tremendous amount of personality and individual style.
