Like Movies, But Need to Pay the Rent? New York Is Here for You With Free Outdoor Movies This Summer!

Who doesn't like free stuff? And outdoor movies that are free are the best! This summer 2013, take some from the city that we all love, but comes with too many taxes and high rents that leave little room for entertainment.

Swim Trend: Rash Guards

Rash guards have always been a staple for surfers, but in recent years, top-name designers have noticed a resurgence of women in the sport and gotten in on the act as well. As casual surfers in high school with hand-me-down [men's!] rash guards, we would've had major envy of anyone with these tops (or that retro-chic one piece from Seea!)

Check out more uber-stylish guards after the jump, as well as the rest of our swim trends and endless summer coverage. We'll see you next week for our flower power trend picks!

Swim Trend: Floral and Botanic Prints

Swimwear takes a turn for the feminine with botanic and floral prints this season. Next week, we'll be going into depth with our coverage of this flower power trend and how it's affecting clothing, food, and beverages.

For now, check out our top picks after the jump, as well as the rest of our swim trends and endless summer coverage!

Summer Jams Continue With the All-Girl HAIM

Our fair city has been overcast and humid the past couple of days. And, although summer is supposed to be here, we need some poppy, happy music to make get us through the day today.

Swim Trend: Vintage Look

With only a few days left of our endless summer/beach/rockaways coverage, we're winding down our swimwear trend reports. Today's key trend is based on vintage styling and silhouettes, with modern fabrics and updates to each cut.

We especially love this trend that gives a sexy nod to pinup girls while still maintaining a generous amount of coverage. Check out the rest of our picks after the jump!

A good friend of The Drift, Katie Clements, has an amazing blog full of charm, warmth and delicious recipes perfect for anytime of the year.

Swim Trend: Contrast Piping and Straps

Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend! We're back this week with continued coverage of our endless-summer/surf/beach/Rockaways trends.

Surf and Sun and All Things Fun at the Rockaways This Memorial Day Weekend!

Memorial Day is here and we want to be at the Rockaways!

Swim Trend: Cutouts and Lattice

You already know all about the trend of cutouts in clothing (and an example of how it's affected music with "glitches"), so it'll come as no surprise that this major trend has spilled over into swimwear. Some of the styles are very directly influenced by cutouts, yet others have been translated into lattice work or ladder backs.

While we're slightly dubious of the interesting tan lines you'll receive, we think these styles will be worth it; besides, SPF1000 guys!
