One Sentence

Some days all it takes is one sentence to put a spring in my step. Today's sentence came to me from Riviera Magazine, January/February 2011:
"WHETHER RETRO, PLUNGE OR CUT-OUT, THE ONE-PIECE SWIMSUIT WILL BE A WARDROBE STAPLE THIS SEASON"- Paola Incisa, President of the Solana Beach-Based Despi Swimwear
Yippee!!! This is fantastic news for a one-piece swimsuit lover like myself. And here are the ones I'm loving so far:

By Despi

By Urban Outfitters

By Victoria's Secret

What about you? Are you a die-hard two-piecer or is some version of the one-piece calling your name?

Monokinis, Where Have You Been All My Life?

I'd never really heard of monokinis until recently, and now I can't stop scouring the web for cute ones. These are my favorites from Victoria's Secret, but there were lots more cute ones to be found. The monokini solves my problem of not wanting to bare the mid-section (two kids and all), but still not wanting to be too covered. Because of the cut-outs though, the monokini almost seems sexier than a bikini, which could be a little weird for a beach playdate or for just hanging at the beach with the fam. But then again, maybe not. I'm dying to know--- what do you think of monokinis?

Oh Me Oh My

I spied this smoking hot Letarte Ruffle One-Piece in this shop while wandering around the East Village last Saturday night. Why I'm thinking about swimsuits on the eve of Fall is beyond me, but it is still hot out, and we do pay a pretty steep sunshine tax for year-round swimsuit weather around here. And this suit is stunning. It will be mine. Oh yes, if and when an off-season sale kicks in, it will be mine. Sometimes there's just something about a one-piece, don't you think?
