With frigid temperatures and mounds of snow on the ground, I’m daydreaming of a serene vacation somewhere tropical. A place where I can frolick on the beach while the sun dresses me in warmth. Unlucky for me, I won’t be going on any vacay anytime soon. For you beach maven wanna-bes who have a ticket to paradise,  check out Everything But Water at Mall of America during the month of January.

Every Saturday this month, the swimwear retailer is inviting everyone to celebrate Sweet Saturdays. While shoppers browse through new 2010 swimwear collections, complimentary treats including cupcakes, cookies and water bottles will be served. The store is also offering a free gift with any purchase.

The store’s best selling brands are Betsey Johnson, Becca, Sunsets, L*Space, Vix, Vitamin A, True Religion, and Juicy Couture. Find a wide array of suits now before the huge rush in March when Spring Break hits. Everything But Water is located on level 2, West near MAC.

The ground is blanketed with snow and that means winter vacations are just around the corner. Whether you’re visiting family in Florida or jet setting to Mexico, Mall of America has everything to prepare you for some sunshine in the wintertime.

Swimwear: Going to the beach? Everything But Water provides a large selection of swimwear and accessories suitable for every age. And treat your feet with some new kicks. Flips will gear you up with the most stylish flip-flops to wear with that new swimsuit. Don’t forget to complete your beachside look with some stylish shades from Oakley.

Skincare:  Despite talk about tanning beds being bad for our health, we still want a glowing tan before we set foot in the sun. Sephora offers a variety of bronzers and self-tanners that will give you that perfect glow. But remember; exfoliate before applying bronzer or self-tanner. Exfoliating will get rid of dry skin and make your skin smoother—it’ll make that tan look even better.

 Luggage:  Is your old luggage set just not cutting it anymore? Tumi will help you travel in style with their modern luggage collections and travel accessories.
