If you’re feeling up to a bit of summer style inspiration, take a trip down memory lane as we revisit some of the "On Display" singer’s greatest (bikini) hits. We’ll jet to some truly envy-inducing destinations such as a yacht in the Bahamas, the sandy beaches of Aruba, and the glistening waters of Turks and Caicos. Some of our stops hit closer to home as Melissa also poses in sizzling swimwear inside her incredible New Jersey mansion and on the water adjacent back deck of her fabulous Jersey Shore vacation home.

Speaking of her fellow Housewives, one deserves credit for the sassy snap.
