Aloha Spring Breakers,

Please raise your red plastic cup and repeat after me:

"This Spring Break I will not flake on making Spring Break plans, or at the very least, I pledge to seek out a sun-drenched spot to sunbathe my final exams away. Under no circumstance will I sit like a lamo at home watching MTV's Spring Break a.k.a Dangerously Thin Models in Wet T-shirts! Yes, this Spring Break I will make sun-worshipping a full-time religion and ceremoniously bury my highlighters and notebooks, trading them in for a month's worth of trashy US weekly's!"

Now that initiation is complete, we need to talk wardrobe... no digging out that floppy-butt bikini from 2006. CoutureCandy has some fresh elastic to keep your bottom looking perkier than post-rehab Britney!

Channel your inner Ariel with a mermaid-inspired number from Maya Swimwear; we love the delicate rows of opalescent sequins. If a one-piece is more your style, check out our white or black version that is totally chic in front...ultra-sexy in the back. A flirty contour ruffle adds a sublime aquatic touch to these one-piece wonders.

Fake a perfect tan in Lotta Stennson's copper-colored Stranded Bikini with gold embroidery and bead detail. The tropical baubles of Castaway Jewelry finish every Spring Break ensemble in style (something to consider among the beer-pong crowd) and when the sun gets low you can cover-up with Letarte's sublime Popcorn Tunic.

So go ahead and get your tan on, just remember that your SPF 40 doesn't protect against dorky dudes with Frisbees.
