time to dish about the newest swimwear line from the islands which made its debut at the women's closet last weekend. melia conrad mixes old hollywood glamour with modern sophistication to create a collection for those who prefer to be a bit more demure yet still turn a few heads when they hit the beach.

designer marylea conrad grew up in australia and upon arriving in the islands noticed a distinct difference on hawaii's beaches from her homeland: coverage. and so melia conrad, a collection of stylish swimwear with slightly more modest silhouettes, was born (quite literally as the line is named after her baby daughter).

there is something for everyone from flirty bikinis, pin up worthy one pieces, and glamorous cover ups that can easily go from the sand to out on the town. one of the most thoughtful features are bikini tops with removable straps which means no more tricky maneuvering to avoid the dreaded strappy tan line.

the collection is expected to arrive in april or may and will be stocked at the butik, rafael and split obsession.
