Just Keep Swimming

I feel like this week has been the hottest of the year, which means the summer vibes are in full effect! Living in New York, you can feel the city empty out on the weekends, as people flock towards the beach for some sunshine and solitude. I haven’t made my New York beach trip as yet, but I’ve got my swimsuits (and sandals) picked out for my upcoming getaways. Below are some of my favorite suits of the season in a variety of styles and price points. I must say that this summer I’m totally feeling the sexy one-pieces and high-waisted silhouettes. I also love a classic color palette of black, white, navy, and a striking red. Here’s to catching some waves and some rays. Now just don’t forget your sunscreen!

If you live in New York, then I’m sure you’ve seen (or at least unknowingly passed) the variety of H&M ads all over the city. While I usually do admire them more than the average person (occupational hazard, I suppose) – I rarely feel the urge to buy the items I see. However, as soon as I saw a poster of this flame-colored H&M summer dress, I knew I had to have it. Off the shoulder? Yep! Tassels? Check! A bright and bold hue that’s my shade for the summer? Absolutely! With all of these things, plus a $19 price tag, I was sold. I paired my new dress with more tassels on my Aquazzura heels, and a matching Tom Ford lipstick, aptly called “Flame.” Brb…I feel like this look calls for a margarita!
