In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, we compiled a list of our top 10 favorite bikinis we love right now! We know it's only February, but here in southern California it is bikini-beach weather practically year round. So as a staple in any San Diego native's closet, this post is dedicated to our favorite bikinis for summer 2014!
First up on our top 10 list is this black strappy little number! We are loving this Strappy Long Line Top black bikini from Victoria's Secret. The longer bikini top but not quite a tankini top is so in for this summer. The strappy back of this VS Swim one is all the rage. And well, we are a sucker for a classic black bikini!
