since pools have officially opened it’s time to find your new perfect swimsuit!

i hope everyone had a relaxing & sunny long weekend! i was so happy to make it back home to louisville with trevor and enjoy some nice family time. we tried some new local places to eat, saw old friends, & most importantly spent some quality time with my mom & dad. it’s so hard to come back to reality today and start work but i’m just trying to remember that it’s only a 4 day work week!

since pool & beach season are officially upon us (thank goodness) i decided to start a summer shopping wishlist. each week i’ll try to tackle the next summer wardrobe essential and wanted to start with the dreaded swimsuit! swimwear is so tricky to buy & i always tend to reach for the same shops so i know the fit will work but i need to branch out a bit. i loved this black scalloped bikini and although it’s a bit pricey it’s a basic black suit you could make work for years. i have to be honest that i’m obsessed with this yellow floral j.crew number! it’s a high waisted bottom which i’m totally into and i need a good strapless top to avoid tan lines but that has some type of support. the aztec print from forever 21 is so affordable and i loved how the top was almost tank like. also, i’m loving a good one piece this season & no one does swimwear like mara hoffman…if you’re not a fan of this cut check out her other pieces because they are all to die for.

let me know what you’re finding this swim season & i hope you all survive your first day back today!

xox,
