Candice Swanepoel, last seen on the Victoria's Secret runway with a giant pin-wheel attached to her ass, has landed the cover of the first VS swim catalog of the season.

Headed to a mailbox near you as we write, the catalog features an extensive collection of swimwear that may or may not actually be appropriate for the pool, including the bedazzled bandeau top Swanepoel wears on the cover. "I love it—it's so sexy and gives me amazing cleavage," the model told People StyleWatch.

You can find it and the rest of the 2013 swim collection on VictoriasSecret.com today.
