Better begin making your plans now for the beach next January---we all know the great places fill up early--and find the best swimsuits, cover-ups, beach jewelry and sandals online now.  Fashionlines has found some exciting sites that offer quality design this resort season.  Elizabeth Bartlett is a Seattle-based company that works with Italian designers who are also working with Neiman Marcus, Gucci and Bally.  The shoes incorporate top quality materials with comfort technologies, invisible to the eye, that make the heel height feel lower by shifting the weight off the ball of the foot to make a three-inch heel feel like a two-inch heel.  And as you can see from the images, this company does not stint on the design or sex appeal.
 

Vintage Earth jeweler Sarah Beth Martin blends vintage and urban to get a great Bohemian look that is so favored for Resort 06.  Her jewelry combines gemstones, glass beads and freshwater pearls with quality metals.  Her pieces work well with swim suits and cover-ups.

MisssB handbags are handmade in Australia.  The beading and embroidery is also done by hand.  These adorable bags incorporate silk, satin, brocades, lace, leather, feathers, sequins and beads.  Very couture, with Australian beach know how.

Abaeté is a high end swimwear and resort line designed by Laura Poretzky, who was born in France to a Russian father and a Danish-Brazilian mother.  A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Laura worked at Ralph Lauren where she refined her skills.  Her first line of swimwear, inspired by Brazil's beaches and lifestyle, won widespread recognition.  Laura draws upon her experience as a New Yorker as well as her Latina and Eurasian roots to create sexy and feminine resort wear that also incorporates perfect fit.
