Okay, it’s not quite that time of the year to be sporting bikinis, but it is the time of the year for the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. Now when most people think of Sports Illustrated and swimsuits together, they probably think of guys going gaa gaa over the models, right? But this mag is also for the ladies too because it’s basically a bikini catalog. They list who all the bikinis are by and where you can buy them, so lets check out a preview of what’s in this years mag…
Not only do you get to check out the years best bikinis, you also can take a trip to the most exotic locations in the world. And it’s probably some motivation to work out too, I know it is for me

Cappadocia, Turkey

Lucia Dvorska in La Isla. These cut out swimsuits have been quite the rage in magazines for the post couple years, but I have yet to seen them go mainstream. Maybe I’ll give one of these a shot this year. Love the pattern on this one.

Damaris Lewis in Alexis Swimear. Love the combination of the yellow with the brown plus the exotic necklaces look adorable with it.

Julie Henderson in Latarte by Lisa Cabrinha. Love the colors and the pattern on this one.

I pretty much love all the bikinis the Cappadocia shoot, it was so hard to pick and choose. I love this one because of it’s ethnic pattern.

Damaris Lewis in Beach Bunny Swimwear. Love the cut of the bottom.

Julie Henderson in Luli Fama. Okay, let me tell you, I’m all about the butt. I used to have the perfect butt, but it definitely needs some work now. I love real Brazilian cut bikinis, not the American Brazilian cut. So I don’t think I need to tell you why I love this one.

Lucia Dvorska in Letarte by Lisa Cabrinha. I need a cover up like this or else I don’t end up covering up at all. Super cute.

Lucia Dvorska in Vicky Moreinis. Love this whole outfit, the jewelry, the suit, everything.
Naples Italy

Daniella Sarahyba in Maaji Swimwear. How cute is this bikini?

Esti Ginzburg in V Del Sol. Not really something I would wear but completely adorable and very pin up girl.

Daniella Sarahyba in Elizabeth Southwood. Very summery with all the yellow.
Canouan Island

Brooklyn Decker in Zimmerman. Love the cut on this one.

Jarah Mariano in Letarte for top and Kristi Grinna for bottom. Another great cover up by Letarte which goes perfectly with the bottoms.

Bar Rafaeli in Beach Bunny Swimwear. Leonardo Decaprio’s girlfriend in a sexy langerie style bikini.

Jarah Mariano in Letarte. How amazing is the the top? I want this one!

Bar Refaeli in Luli Fama. Another great bottom by Luli. I want this one too!
Riviera Maya, Mexico

Jessica Hart in Cynthia Rose for top and Rosa Cha for bottom. Very cute.

Melissa Haro in Monique Leshman. Really pretty cover up.
