Hi Girls!
I've never really gone out of my way to get a cute bikini before, and I tried on these victoria's secrets ones but they just either didn't fit well or the color wasn't great.

Any recommendations or links to good brands that aren't too expensive (I'm willing to pay up to about $70)? I don't want crap like Old Navy. (sorry but it's cheap!) However, I am definitely willing to pay more for quality!!!

Body Shape:
Muscular, Athletic build, a little bit bigger on the thighs and boobs!!! Also I'm pale.
Thanks!!!

    You should check out the "surfer" brands, like Roxy.

    I really like Body Glove and they last forever. TJ Maxx sometimes has some great nice suits for pretty cheap. I found a cuteKenneth Cole there for $40 earlier this season.

    I think you just need to take a day and shop it! You have to try those suckers on and maybe toss on some bronzer before you go!

    I actually love Old Navy bikinis. I haven't found them to be cheap at all, and this season's boy shorts are amazing (I also have an athletic build with a little extra in the thigh/booty department).

    I like the look and fit of Victoria Secret.

    I do too. I tried on 4 styles and actually found ones that fit really well. But the two issues I had: I'm dang white!!! Also the one that had the perfect color and fit was defectively made so the lining turned out. The staff said it wasn't supposed to be like that. Argh!

    I really wanted to get something sexy but without the boobs sticking out all over cause I'm actually really really conservative!
