The following is a guest post from our friends at Lucky.

It’s possible that nothing has done more to inspire the wardrobes of today’s women than the now ubiquitous street-style blog. Yet it’s tough to navigate the Endless options on the Web and even tougher to stumble upon a fresh concept in a somewhat oversaturated genre.

Good thing Beach Bum–the just-launched brainchild of Chicago fashion stylists and best buds Liz Klafeta and Annie Bangs–hit the blogosphere at just the right time. When Liz flew to Honolulu to visit Annie on a shoot back in December, the pair sat mesmerized on the sand for days. “We watched this amazing parade of beach fashion unfold before our eyes,” says Annie. The two started snapping photos, and Beach Bum, the first blog dedicated strictly to beachwear, went live in April. So who better to share summer must-haves than these two? Here are their sunny-weather picks.
