9th & Elm Floppy Hat (only $25! and available in over a dozen colors and monogram styles!) Sunshine Tienda Leather Trim Shopper || Kendra Scott Necklace || Kendra Scott Ring || J.Crew Bangle Set
For the last few years close girlfriends and I have gone back and forth debating the switch from the two-piece to one. I've fought the move kicking and screaming as it's been difficult to find one-piece swimwear that's youthful and still makes me feel sexy. It becomes even more difficult when your body type is not proportionate. As a petite gal with a smaller chest and thicker hips and thighs, finding a one piece that fits my needs has been more difficult than I might like.
Thankfully, more and more brands have spent time listening to consumer feedback like ours and are designing one-pieces that are stylish, feminine and well designed. Before vacation I fell in love with the online boutique, Coral Reef Swim, who has a great collection of affordable swimwear and beach cover-ups. I highly recommend checking them out!
No trip to the beach or pool is complete without a great hat, no? You all would have got a good laugh at me at the airport as I packed no less than 6 hats with me on last months trip to Tucson. I LOVE this monogram floppy hat from 9th & Elm! It comes in more than a dozen colors and monogram styles. Oh, I should mention it's only $25!! It's a MUST for this Summer!
I'm also happy to be teaming up with 9th & Elm to give one lucky winner a $50 shopping spree! Simply follow the Rafflecopter instructions below for your entry! The giveaway is open to Canadian and US residence only. The winner will be chosen and notified by 9th & Elm directly on April 17th! Good luck!
I hope you all had a great weekend and a fantastic Easter!
XOXO,
Anna

I love that suit. Such a great one piece and I love the pattern. The hat with the monogram is such a fab addition. I wish I was somewhere this warm!
ReplyDeleteDenise | Fashion Love Letters
I'm a big fan of floppy hats and this one looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn a one-piece in many, many years, but I have noticed a lot of really nice ones. The only thing I wonder about is the "ease" of going to the washroom with a one piece. Random things I worry about, huh?

Great suit. I find it hard to wear a bikini with Tutu being so active so this suit is a great option.
