The Riviera One Piece is the quintessential vintage bathing suit with a modern cut and the upgrades of today’s best four way stretch fabrics. The wider shoulder straps give extra chest support, while the hourglass panels on the front and back slim your waistline and play up your curves. Sensual, yet fully covered up, the Riviera is modern vintage at it's best.

The Leucadia Bikini Top features a one-inch thick elastic band under the bust that lays flat and doesn't budge while adding good support. The thicker spaghetti straps relieve tension from the neck through a cross tie back that stays on while duck-diving. A feminine alternative to board shorts, the Leucadia skirted bottom’s color-blocking detail is a genius at visually nipping the waistline smaller. The back is also seamless, which means your derrière will be wedgie-free.

More than any other suits in our line, these new arrivals combine graceful vintage silhouettes with modern surfing functionality. They are flattering, fun to wear, and are the true reason SEEA was born. You don't need to look great to enjoy the surf, but if you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll enjoy it that much more.

Hello Brother and Sisters of our sea,

After just few days here we are with the second part dedicated to Amanda, Betta and Natalia. A fashion designer, a stylist, and an illustrator, each bound by the surfing sisterhood and a deep friendship.

Onde Nostre's girls shine under an Italian September sun: Three different styles, perfectly blended, traveling between waves with thoughts on friendship, freedom, and future.

Thanks to everyone who came out, especially those who bought suits! Much love to Margaret & crew for the demo time, and to Betty at Cardiff 101 for the invite!!

Lots of sweet rides at the show, but these three were our favorites!

Julie Goldstein is rad! See more of her unique prints & art here

Plenty of sun and the water's still warm in October. What a Summer!

Ladies of all ages love to shop, but these Seeababes in training will have to wait till next year: "Mom, it fits me, I swear!!" Well, not quite yet, but look for new kids sizing, coming soon!

When people talk about Italy, they might mention the art, fashion, and the wonderful food, but little do they know that the land of Pizza also has waves! They may take time and a bit of patience to find, but when you do, the waves can be sweet! Our friends of Onde Nostre have been chasing these waves for years, and recently started documenting their travels with the 2010 release of their self-titled film, Onde Nostre (Our Waves), starring upcoming Italian surf talent Alessandro Ponzenelli.

With the success of their first release, Luca Merli and Matteo Ferrarri have started work on their second full length surf flick, due out in 2013. Until then, the Onde Nostre crew is keeping busy - traveling, surfing, and filming short vignettes, loosely titled "Ritratti di Surf". These "Surf Portraits" follow the adventures of fellow Italian artists & surfers, so we were very excited to receive an invitation to film our own surf portrait in Sardinia with the Onde Nostre crew!

Can't describe the excitement of being reunited with my favorite italian Seeababes Natalia aka Gise and Betta aka Franco. We were so hyped to be together for this trip!!

It's an overnight ferry ride, but who needs a bed?? We crashed out in true surf-bum style.

Straight off the boat and right into waves, "Nelly" gets some tip time while Filipo Maffei scores some sweet water shots

Currently the head stylist at Vanity Fair Italy, the amazingly gipsy chic Elisabetta Dal Bello stops for a quick portrait in her San O suit. You can check out her beautiful line of hangbags here.

Lots of surf checks on this trip. We got waves, but not always...

This is exactly what's happened this week as Los Angeles based fashion magazine BELLO released it's first ever "Obsession" issue, complete with this full page spread featuring the Hermosa, and a behind the scenes video of the shoot! In Jenna's own words: "Be patient and always remember to enjoy the process." Well, we are really enjoying the high fashion love, but we can't wait to see what's next!!

Check out the behind the scenes video from E! News here!

"BELLO mag's first ever OBSESSION issue takes our fashion, entertainment, and lifestyle mantra to a whole new level. Having been positively obsessed with so many things over the years, we decided to compile these obsessions into one exciting issue. Featuring Jenna Dewan Tatum (American Horror Story and 10 Years) as our main cover (with a bonus Video feature of Jenna behind the sciences dancing on the BELLO mag set), talking about dance, her own personal style, and other things that she is obsessed with."

A great article with some amazing shots, our heartfelt thanks goes out to stylist Holly Copeland for including SEEA in this shoot!

We are pleased to introduce surfer, fashion illustrator, and Seeababe: Natalia Resmini. Hailing from Ventimiglia, Italy, Natalia has been happy to be Amanda's "partner in crime". Sharing sessions together around the world, from San Onofre to her hometown beach, just twenty miles from the French-Italian border.

"I spend my time travelling and surfing, creating illustrations for the Italian and international press. My art tends to be dreamy, sexy, and colorful. When I paint or draw, I like to imagine others enjoying what I create. I’ve painted nearly everyday for almost 15 years now - It hasn't always been easy to make a career out of art, but for me painting is truly a primal need."

"Surfing is a dream. It's an exploration of ideal and beauty. It helps me to concentrate and to be determined. There is a link between tracing lines on paper, and on the sea. Both are amazing sources of inspiration for me."

"The Hermosa suit is my favorite suit. When I surf with it, I feel like the Queen of the peak! What other suit can make you feel this way? Amanda is one of my favorite women in the world. She is beautiful, glamorous, generous, creative and very positive. We met at the beach one summer about 9 years ago - the start of a great friendship! Since she moved to the states, I miss her a lot, so I come visit whenever I can!!"

"I love to do sketches and watercolors, with inspiration drawn from everyday life. I particularly like portraits - when the paintings come out well, I feel like a magician! It’s an “Alchemy” of sorts, a mysterious process of extracting the quintessential nature of the subject, which leaves me very connected to the both the portrait, and to the interesting people I meet."

"My home spot is amazing - the swell there is not consistent, but when we have waves, they are full of poetry. When there are no waves in sight, I like to fly to Morocco – it’s close to Italy, and the flights are cheap and fast. Arabian culture is fascinating and Morocco is truly a place of dreams. Spending time there has given me new tools to work with artistically as well, the food is amazing, and the waves, too!"

"I believe everyone is the architect of his or her own life! Mine is not yet as balanced as I would like, but I cannot complain. Travelling to less affluent countries has given me the chance to compare and understand my life. I feel very lucky and grateful for what I have been given, and for what I have chosen to build with it so far."

Stoked to see another creative soul doing what they do best. Next time you're down in OB, stop in and say hello!

Big thanks to Nicole Azevedo, Amy Lowry, Mele Saili, and Lulu Erkeneff and their photographers for submitting these lovely photos. It's been an amazing Summer here in California - the perfect time and place to discover the pure "no worries" stoke of a warm water session in your favorite Seea suit!

This week I had the pleasure of being back in my native country, Italy. Besides visiting family, eating lots of pasta, and shopping (of course!!), I finally got back to "business" this weekend, which meant hanging out with Margaret & Matt from Bing at the Single Fin Festival held at Nimbus of Marina di Pietrasanta, just a few hours away from Florence on the Tuscan coast.

Pretty cool to get the chance to hang with Margaret in my own country!!

The Bing crew graciously let me display my suits at their booth while I chased a few Mediterranean ankle slappers.

Le surfiste italiane! These girls were stoked and already knew about Seea - it made me so happy!!

Matt and Margaret check out the premier of another great episode of Onde Nostre

Luca and Giovanni from Onde Nostre screened their logo on the back of my Seea Tank. Thanks guys!

Showing off some Seea suits in the Mediterranean miniswell :)

"Work" continues this week, as it's off to Sardinia to surf and film with my lovely italian ladies and the crew from  Block10 . So excited!! Stay tuned for more trip photos and hijinx from the road. You gotta love Italy!!   XXOO SHAKAMUCHACHAS!

1) It's all about the love

Big thanks to Nick, Casey, Josh the whole crew at Thalia for providing us the space and the opportunity to get creative. Love you guys!!

Sign painting requires a steady hand and some semi-toxic paints. Colt lays it on, nice & thick...
