Swimsuits

This word gives me a bit of stress. I detest looking for swimsuits. I think most of us aren’t super comfortable parading around with little clothing on so we all would like to find one that enhances the good parts of us and does not draw attention to the not so good parts. I remember that as a teenager looking for a swimsuit was a lot of work and back then I had more good parts to my body.:) While we were in the dressing room trying on my pile of swimwear my mom once told me about her favorite swimsuit that she had purchased in college. She and some friends went to Hawaii to work for the summer and they found this company that made the swimwear just for your body. They took the measurements and you picked the fabric and they tailor-made your swimsuit. That sounds wonderful don’t you think? I think of it every time the season begins and I re-enter the dressing room with an armful of swimsuits hoping that one will fit like it was made just for me!

However, I don’t know of a company that does that and if there was one I am sure I could not afford it.:)

Here are some of this seasons swimsuits I found while shopping online:

Boots of the Season

The part of Fall that I really love is pulling out the cozy sweaters, buying a new pair of jeans and the BOOTS. I love boots! I always have. The boots that are showing up this season have lots of laces and buttons. They remind me of the movie Pollyanna with Haley Mills. Remember when she goes shopping (Pretty Woman shopping) where all the employees wait on her hand-and-foot? I still remember how they used this special tool to do up her shoe laces. I loved those boots!

This season is definitely not disappointing us boot department. Here are some of my fav’s of the season.

Galina Ankle Boots from Anthropologie

Impo Tayside Bootie from DSW
