Ohhh, what do we have here?  Another Friday?  Well count me in, friends, because there’s just nothing better.  And here we are at the start of summer, so let’s talk swimsuits once again, shall we?  Well I’m here to bring a little blast from my teenage past – tankinis!

They were my first dip into the two-piece swimsuit pool back in the day, and I felt pretty freaking cool about myself.  Fast forward (quite) a few years, and I thought my tankini days were done.  But hey 2017, we’re bringing it back.  And they’re just as great as I remember.

The two in today’s post are so great for a variety of sizes (Hey D-cup girls!), and they’re super comfy for all day wear.  Weather you’re looking to get sporty on the beach or trying to get your sandy nap on, I can’t say enough good things about these suits.  They’re supportive and versatile – wear ’em as-is, tie them in a knot, add a little coverup, whatever you wanna do, girl.  (Also, so great for long torso girls like myself who have troubles with most one-piece suits – hashtag, thumbs up.)  I’m here to tell you, the tank suit is back in our 30’s, friends, and I’m not mad about it.

Hope you gals have a great weekend!

While taking a stroll over the old Instagram this morning, I noticed that lately I’ve got quite a thing for stripes.  And truth be told, it’s not just a recent obsession.  I feel like of all the prints and patterns that I dig – florals, plaid, gingham, and even palm prints – stripes are definitely my main squeeze.  They’re so classic and easy to mix, match and mingle, and this season, they’re once again everywhere.

So whether you go for a swimsuit (the tankini at number one is so good for busty gals), a fun bag, or a little something for your feet, you really can’t go wrong with adding a little stripe to any look.  My personal faves?  Well, I did pick all of the above, but I really want to get my hands on numbers five and fourteen – nothing better than a pool sarong that doubles as a scarf later.  And the slides at number nine are pretty dang cute for under $25.  Also, if you’re looking for the absolute softest tees around, the brand at number three has that ALL figured out.  Hope everyone is having a great week, and happy summer shopping!

Happy Thursday, friends!  This post has been coming for a while now, and well, here we go.  I shared a bit about it back here on the ‘gram, but today I’m so excited to finally share here on the blog a campaign that I’ve been working on with Swimspot this spring.  Summer after summer I’ve chatted about the struggle to find flattering, comfortable swimsuits that offer enough coverage for busty gals, and finally guys, companies are listening.

And Swimspot has been listening to girls of all shapes and sizes.  If you’re looking for the best suits for your particular body type, head over to the Fit Specialist tab on their site, and voilà.  There are petite frames, curvy girls, athletic bodies, and I’m representing for the busty gals.  It was a bit nerve-wracking to put myself out there, but I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this campaign with five other women that I respect and admire.

And the suits!  Y’all, I tried on and wore SO many swimsuits during the Swimspot photo shoot, but I chose these two bikinis to take along with me to Mexico because they are two of the most comfortable swimsuits that I’ve found that really fit.  And in particular, the “In Training Sport Bra” top is a standout favorite of mine.  I actually own it in three different colors.  It has a hidden underwire that really supports, adjustable straps, and comes in cup sizes.  Plus, it’s just plain cute.  Also, no ties behind the neck = no neck pain at the end of the day.  #TheStruggle

So no matter your size or current swimsuit struggle, I hope you’ll check out Swimspot’s Fit Specialist campaign and help spread the love.  Because summer is almost here, y’all, and nobody wants to worry about finding that perfect suit.
