Hi Linda, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?
I’m Canadian and grew up in Ottawa, Ontario. I’ve moved across Canada from West coast Vancouver to now East coast Toronto, and enjoy travelling and exploring new cities. I’m always looking for new experiences and spontaneous trips to keep me on my toes. Becoming a Designer and Entrepreneur are new labels to add to my resume this year after launching IVY Swimwear.
How did the idea of Ivy Swimwear come about?
When my best friend moved to L.A for school we always travelled to sunny destinations to reunite. Fashion has always been a passion of ours, but in particular swimwear because of our tropical getaways. I would say that we own more bikinis, than jeans in our closets, and swimwear became a huge obsession of ours! My best friend took photography and graphic design in University and I took business and marketing, making us the perfect business partners.
What is unique and different about Ivy Swimwear than other brands?
IVY Swimwear is the creative vision of my best friend and I. Each IVY bikini is inspired by our own personal style and the always-evolving fashion trends. As individuals we both have unique design tastes. We try to find a balance of chic simplicity and edgy silhouettes to our designs, which gives a look exclusive to IVY.
What does every lady need to know when shopping for swimwear?
When rocking a swimsuit you need to feel comfortable in your own skin. The key to shopping for the perfect bikini or monokini, is to find a style that highlights your best assets and suits your unique body shape.
Which are your 3 best sellers?
“LILY”
“JASMINE”
“ACACIA”
Where can we catch you partying most of the time?
My girlfriends are scattered in different cities so we always reunite in Vegas to party! The pool parties and nightlife is hard to compare anywhere else.
If you could collaborate with anyone past or present, who will you choose?
We are always collaborating with new bloggers, stylists, photographers and models to promote IVY Swimwear. We’ve started to partner with other businesses as well, such as jewelry and temporary tattoo companies. In the near future we would love to work with more public figures in the beauty and fashion industry and even give them the opportunity to design their own IVY bikini. I will have to keep these names on the low for now but we’re super excited for these upcoming collaborations!
Do you have any hobbies?
I’m obsessed with my dogs and spend most of my free time with my 3 chihuahuas…yes 3! When I do have spare time I consider myself a foodie and always on the hunt for new restaurants and recipes to try. I have a need for speed and want to get my motorcycle license this summer. I’m definitely an adrenaline junkie and always looking for the next adventure.
Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”?
For me sexiness is a quality that radiates from within. It’s not all about the physical although that is a bonus! For both men and women, sexiness is having a balance between confidence and humility. It’s the quality of attitude inside and out … having a beautiful soul.
