Nikki Reed: “I just discovered Tori Praver suits and I love this one because it has a more high-waisted bottom which look so cute and retro. Then the top offers a bit more coverage too. I like that this suit is kinda conservative, but sexy at the same time.” Want to snag her “Toledo” bikini? Shop it here.
