Sponsored Edition: Bottoms Up

Your girlfriend was SUPPOSED to watch your back, but she disappeared. There isn’t a single sales person in sight. Now your swimsuit shopping trip has turned into a high school nightmare as you search the packed department store for your BFF – bikini finder friend – trying not to bare it all in a teeny Brazilian that either makes you look saucy, or like a sausage.

Don’t wade it out any longer. Splash Hawaii has you covered.

The Ala Moana boutique is stocked with more than 50 brands. Amid the sporty Billabong, flirty Roxy, preppy Ella Moss, and urban glam Beach Bunny bikinis, the

31-year-old specialty shop boasts a staff of experts dedicated to finding exactly what suits you.

Hate how your morning swim starts with a muffin top? Splash will mix and match top and bottom sizes. Can’t afford to bling it? Grab one of the shop’s own line of affordable bikinis – available in 10 different colors and 16 different styles. If your cups runneth over, Splash carries a collection of tops in hard-to-find D, DD and E.

And even though the staff will make sure you won’t need to leave the dressing room, you won’t mind walking out covered up with a stylish Sunahara dress, cute Cameron Hawaii message tank or cushy Splendid romper. And forget the shopping bag; grab an uber-cute plastic, woven tote in playful colors for just about $10.

There are also visors and glam wide-brimmed hats to keep you from splashing and burning on your next bikini run.

Proving style in the sun is just within beach.
