Salt Swimwear
Last year I wrote about a friend’s swimwear line called Salt Swimwear. I got an overwhelming response of inquiries and many friends bought the line and were super happy with their sexy chic suits.
WELL…..I have great news, the swimwear line featured in Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and worn by Meghan Fox, Sienna Miller and a host of other Hollywood celebs can be yours!!! They are having a ♥MAJOR SALE♥ on their swimwear.
Drop what you are doing and check them out: SALT SWIMWEAR. Bikini separates start at $15!!!!!!!! Did you hear me? I said bikini separates start at $15!!!!! The sale prices are $15, $25, and $50 each piece. This is a top notch deal. You can’t even get a decent bikini at Target this cheap.
Buying the top and bottom separate is the best way to buy a bikini, especially if your azz is like 2 sizes bigger than your boobs, like mine. You can piece together an amazing bikini in different sizes, colors, styles, and prints. Her swimwear coverups are also on sale.
Layla’s line is my absolute FAVE for swimwear. It is super comfy, yet stylish and sexy. Moms, this is the best beachwear for when you take your kiddies swimming. The material is really plush so you still feel sexy, without worrying about being too lewd with the kids. They are all classically beautiful. I own 8 Salt bathing suits, so I promise this line is amazing.
Oh, and the gold one piece ruffle bathing suit pictured below is on sale for $55. It’s regualar $165.

Here’s my blog entry from last year about the line:
I was worried about an upcoming trip that would require me to donn swimwear in public.
Since I had a baby a year ago, I was a little nervous about lounging poolside in a bathing suit. Ok, nervous is an understatement.
Despite have a bikini shot on my blog (which is only on here because Jamie is a photoshop wiz), it’s the first time in over 12 years I’ve ever been snapped in a swimsuit. Believe it or not.
So, I decided it was time to buy a new bathing suit.
There’s been a lot of buzz about a new line called Salt Swimwear. This sexy and flirty swimwear is a favorite to Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Eva Longoria, Mena Suvari, Lindsay Lohan, Marisa Miller, Jamie Pressly, Kristen Cavallari and Audrina Patridge. I’m sorry, can someone pick that up for me…I just name dropped like crazy.
But seriously, this swimwear line is all the rave in LA, and rightfully so. I met Layla Pakzad, the Salt designer. She is super nice and has a great eye for what works and what doesn’t. Her designs are hip yet classic and sexy. Her sultry, yet comfy swimwear line is inspired from her travels to the Malibu beaches and Asia.
I instantly fell in love with the booty short bottom. It’s amazing. It just seems to lift and hug your cheeks in all the right places. But, I’ve got 2 kids, and it didn’t quite fit me the same way it fit the perfectly toned slim model with the amazing butt (who probably never has to work out, chase kids, or watch what she eats….BIATCH).
Note to self: Getch yo ass back in the gym.
The tops looked amazing on my small A-cup friend (I’m sure she’s gonna appreciate that reference). It was the first time I longed for my IBTC days. I attempted to try on the Naomi top, but it felt like my D’s were having a fierce lightsaber battle with the fabric. It reminded me of the time I tried to shove my size 7 foot into a size 6 Louboutin, just because they were 65% off. But there’s something about a boobie part sticking out that one ups a hammer toe hanging off a wedge (BTW, don’t think less of me if you see me rockin those Louboutins…just kidding…wink).
So, Plan B. Layla suggested her one piece Sienna. A one piece? What was she trying to imply? Seriously, she might as well called me PTA President, Minivan driving, cupcake baking, playdate having, soccer mom, right? The last time I wore a one piece was in the minnow simming lesson class at the YMCA. Is this what motherhood has reduced me to…first schleping around in dirty jeans, crocs, and a t-shirt everyday, now a ONE PIECE bathing suit…
Whoa Nelly, this ain’t your mama’s one piece…
When I put the Salt Sienna one piece on, I felt 20 years old again! If Madonna had been playing on the radio, I would have been doing that “Desperately Seeking Susan” dance all over the place. This bathing suit is SMOKIN HOT! OFF THE CHAIN! HOT TAMALE! FRICKIN INSANE! BANANAS! CALL 911-ON FIRE! I absolutely loved it.
And the best thing about a one piece? It covers your tummy so I didn’t have to worry about walking around about to pass out from sucking in my stomach the whole time (ya’ll know what I’m talking about, don’t act like I’m the only one). I could just let it all hang out and no one noticed.
Thanks Layla! Salt is amazing. Can you come up with some one piece undergarments now (like a one piece girdle for moms)?
Salt is SUPER sexy. I love the Giselle top and that booty short should be inducted into The Hall of Fame. This is best bikini ever.
Everytime I pick up Us Magazine, Salt suits are in there. Are they that good? That one piece looks glamorous. Can’t wait to see your pictures.
I was there when you bought the suit and it look amazing on you…no squats needed! Now you need to post some pics of you in it! Love Salt suits and can’t wait for her next collection!
LOL. Your vision must have been blurry from the late night out!
I still want that royal blue bikini. That one’s for a “private” day at the beach. And NO PICS…..gotta tighten up with my squats first. Ha!
THANK YOU so much for your recommendation. I went to Everything But Water today and I now have two super cute bikinis for the pool next week. It was great to go to a store where she actually spent time consulting me on which suits would look better.
Yah Kita. Were they having a sale??? When are you posting pics?
definitely no pics! i got one suit for $19 a peice (so under $40, great deal!) and then of course they sucked me into getting a juicy couture for WAY more… so cute though. i love it. thanks again!
I’m so glad you got something good. I haven’t been there in a while, but I went about a year ago and got a coverup which was 60% off. That’s a great mall too as long as you don’t go on the weekend. There’s a really good gelato place upstairs by the maternity store, and of course you can’t beat a Target in the mall. Yeah, I’m gonna wait for the pix to surface on fb next week. LOL
what a great sale. thanks!
I got the Giselle and Heidi from Planet Blue. It’s nice to wear something cute on the beach with the kids that I don’t have to worry about ridin up. Great suits.
The Giselle top is really popular. I think because you can wear it strapless or as a halter. Really cute.
I think their stuff looks great but I’m not sure if it’s the perfect swim attire for my figure.
John, I would recommend the Elsa beach robe for you. LOL.
i’m sure that looks great on you! where do you get swimsuits around here? i am not about to order a swimsuit online and i desperately need one. my old navy bikini is three years old and all stretched out and awful looking! i’m looking for an upgrade, but i need one in the under $100 range. any suggestions of where to go? (this is an advice column too, right?)
Kita, you would look AMAZING in Salt. You have the perfect body for it. If you need something now, you can try “Everything But Water.” They have one in the Glendale Galleria. They always have great sales and suits for every price range,and you can mix/match the tops and bottoms. There is a candy machine and McDonalds close to it in case you have the girls
Oh, and Victoria’s Secret now carries some of their bathing suits in the store, but the sizes and pickins are slim, and some of the suits use cheap unflattering material.
This is totally an advice column, especially when it comes to fashion!
You’re a D???? NICE.
Well, before nursing Bronson for a year, I was a full C/small D (I can’t believe I’m discussing here….LOL) but I’m sure I’m down a notch or so now.
Okay, I LOVE that one-piece. Is there anyplace in LA where I can try it on?
I LOVE it! I never thought I would wear a one piece, but it definitely has it’s perks, especially with kids. I wanted something that made me feel good, but I didn’t have to worry about flaunting around everyone. Oh, and the one piece also comes without ruffles too. Nowhere in the Valley (Westlake Village), but a few in LA…Planet Blue and Madison.

Thanks Nora! Totally going to head to Glendale sometime next week before I spend a week by the pool back east for the last week of June. Thanks for the tip!
I’m a D also, and it’s really hard to find a great bikini that doesn’t look sleezy. Most bikini tops just aren’t made for big boobs. Go figure. That one piece is a nice sexy option though. I’m going over to Madison to check it out. Thanks.
Here’s a link to the best bikini in the Salt line for girls with boobs. This will be next on my list and it’s also shown with the booty short. This royal blue color looks AMAZING on. I tried it on and loved it. I can’t wait to get it. But I gotta hit a few hundred squat sets and tighten up before I wear it
