Looking for a Swimsuit on a Budget? Head to Newport-News
Every summer, I update my Guide to Swimwear. During the process of updating the guide, I visit pretty much every site that sells swimsuits under $50. I’ve shopped pretty much every store with a swimwear department and there has been only one place that has consistently, year after year, offered a great selection of swimwear, for all sizes, all budgets - Newport-News.com. When picking my five favorite swimsuits for under $50, I had to limit the number from Newport-News to two.
While the other offerings from the online/catalog retail may be up for debate, there’s no denying that Newport-News currently has the best selection of fashionable swimwear, for all sizes (including tall and petite), for those who are on a budget. Better than Victoria’s Secret, who has great deals on sexy swimsuits that look good on about 1% of women. Better than Lane Bryant, whose plus size swimsuits look big black sacs. Better than Old Navy
, whose 2007 offerings are surprising unstylish and expensive ($49.50 for a swimsuit from Old Navy, nah). Even better than Target, who, while still a great place to find budget swimwear, does not offer the range of sizes that Newport-News offers.
Some of my favorite suits from Newport-News:
Backless Halter Suit, $20.00
Triangle Bikini, $25.00
Plus Size V-Neck Halter Suit, $31.00 at Newport_news.com
Bandeau Tankini, $29.00

Spring’s Must Have Accessories: The ESPADRILLE
The emergence of the espadrille, the flirtly sandals with the jute (think woven rope) sole, is one big reason to be excited about the upcoming spring. I love these shoes, even though they sort of look like your walking on a wicker basket. As a rule of thumb, you shouldn’t pay more than $40 for a pair of espadrilles. Why? Because stores like Target, Victoria Secret’s, Payless, and Newport News all have stylish versions of the shoes for well under $40 and in some cases, under $20.
Where to get them
Target.com
Macys
Payless (great selection)
Zappos.com
Victoria Secret
Newport News
How to wear them:
with last year’s prairie skirts
with cropped cargo pants
with jeans
with gauchos
with a sun dress
with short shorts
