Sponsored Post: Dive into the season’s sexiest swimwear!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Beach season is upon us, a fact that might fill you with mixed feelings of joy and dread - the joy that comes from sun, sand and surf, the dread that comes from shopping for a bathing suit! Luckily, Express takes the fear out of swimsuit shopping with their amazing selection of women's swimwear - new for spring!

Express swimsuits

I'm loving their fun prints, bright colors and glam embellishments. I'm partial to swimsuits that don't take themselves too seriously - something that will make me smile and accentuate my best features - like this neon ruffled bandeau top or this graphic string bikini top and bottom (shown above).

Express accessories

Another tip I use to get psyched for swim season? Think accessories! Sandals, tote bags, sunglasses, hats and sexy sarongs all make going to the beach a fashion adventure you'll want to dive into, and naturally, Express has you covered with all the essentials at totally affordable prices.

What's more: Sign up for Express e-mail for a chance to win one of ten $200 Express gift cards! The sweepstakes ends 4/21/10 at 11:59pm, EST. Read the official sweepstakes rules.

I've been invited to a casual Spring wedding, and need a cute new dress with accessories to wear. Any suggestions? —Katie

This day dress is casual yet the color is so striking ($69). Pair it with some platform sandals, as they've done for the catalog, and some striking jewelry like drop-stone earrings or a chunky bangle:
