Sigh. There's a lot we're definitely going to miss as the summer season begins to wind down.

The warm temps, BBQs and, probably most of all, gazing upon gorgeous gals strutting their stuff in skimpy swimwear.

And over the last couple of months, there was certainly no shortage of lovely ladies who were more than willing to do just that.

So you can only imagine how hard it was for us to narrow it down to just five.

Yeah, tough gig, we know.

1. Olivia Wilde: The sight of the stunning star not only confirms how lucky boyfriend Jason Sudeikis is, but it also reminds us what Megan Fox once told GQ:  "Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands." We're not exactly sure what that means, but with all due respect to those of the bovine persuasion, it sounds pretty hot nonetheless.

2. Kim Kardashian: Whether she was heating up Hawaii, looking marvelous in Miami, bringing beauty to a boat or just downright wonderful in the waves, the E! star served up some serious skin all summer long. In other words, how could we not include her here?

3. Jada Pinkett Smith: The actress proudly posted this pic to show how fabulous 40 can be. Fortunately for us, several of her contemporaries, like Julia Roberts, Halle Berry and Kyra Sedgwick, also share the same sentiment.

4. Miranda Kerr: Admit it. After seeing the Victoria's Secret model strike a pose in a bikini, you can't help but imagine what she would look like naked. Oh wait.

5. Christina Milian: Baby got back! Not to mention front, side and everything in between. Yes, we know, this is technically not a two-piece. But why sweat the small stuff, right?
