When it comes to looking gorgeous on the beach, I tend to trust the Aussies—with surfer paradises like Bondi in the south, and scuba diving delights like the Great Barrier Reef in the north, when it comes to suiting up, the kids from Oz tend to know their stuff. Take Anna & Boy, for example. This effortlessly cool new swimwear label out of Sydney, the brainchild of two Australian Vogue staffers, has made some serious waves among the fashion elite thanks to their use of quality Italian fabrics, vibrant signature prints and unique detailing, like the gold peach trinket that adorns each piece. Reader, I'm obsessed. And so are all of my girlfriends.

If you're feeling frisky, then the Almafi Tie Halter is a saucy suit that looks like it was snatched straight off the beaches of Capri; for something a little more "Gidget Goes Hawaiian", the Posie V-Neck One Piece offers a good deal more coverage in a rich cobalt hue that really pops. For a suit that's the perfect mix of sultry siren and girlie girl, the retro-inspired Black Bandeau With Frills is sure to hit the right notes—and make the handsome heads spin on Ocean Drive.

Anna & Boy is planning to show at Miami Swim Fashion Week this July, but you don't need to wait until then to score some of these red hot swimmies; snatch up one of their pedigreed pieces now and keep your eyes on this emerging design duo...methinks they're destined to take over a beach blanket near you!
