As a resident of New York City, I'm in full-on Fall mode. Flannel shirts [1] are back in my weekly outfit rotation, my puffy coats [2] are now hanging in my closet rather than shoved under my bed, and I'm slowly but surely transitioning to ordering hot cappuccinos in place of my usual iced coffee. Meanwhile, over in California, Kourtney Kardashian is still in Summer mode, soaking up the sun and gallivanting about in nothing but a bikini. I may or may not be just a teensy bit green with envy.
The 39-year-old reality star had me dreaming of warmer days when she shared a series of Instagram photos that further proved she's the queen of bikinigrams [3]. In the pictures, Kourtney is jumping for joy while wearing an itty-bitty black bikini and matching sunglasses. At first, her swimwear looked simple and classic, but then I caught a glimpse of her cheeky string bottoms and instantly started feeling a little hot under the collar. Does she know how to rock the hell out of a bathing suit [4] or what?!
Scroll through Kourtney's gallery of Instagram photos ahead to admire just how darn cheeky her bikini bottoms really are, and then keep reading to shop similarly sexy swimsuit styles for yourself.
