For the Love of Fashion: Popina this Valentine’s day.

So I bet you’re assuming that I’m about to tell you that the best gift your mate can give you this Valentine’s Day is a Popina Swimsuit.  Well that is obviously not the right answer.  The best gift that special someone can get you for this year’s big V-day is a two week stay in the coral islands of the Maldives Republic.  Which, by the way, I just checked the weather for Monday and although they list no high (or low) temperature, they do assure us it will be “Mostly Fine”.  Ah, the good life.  Anyhow, I digress.  During your stay in this, or any other, archipelago it is very necessary that you have a Popina swimsuit with you.  As if Popina’s uber-flattering, retro suits weren’t enough of a reason to shop with them, I was elated to learn that the Popina staff works with founder and designer of the brand, Pamela Levenson, and have involvement in both the design and construction of all of the swimwear.  That means they can set you up with a suit that fits your figure like no other.  Now if that isn’t the (almost) best Valentine’s gift ever, I don’t know what is.  Meet you at the Equator!!
