Around this time of year, I’m imagining myself on a beach with some cute sunnies and flip-flops, enjoying the sunshine and warmth. Who knows what this summer will bring, but I do plan to have at least a few moment in the sun, and I’m on the hunt for some cute one-piece swimsuits to accompany me. The black suit hanging in my closet has been a staple of mine for a couple years now (highly recommend snagging yourself a classic black piece) and it’s reminding me that yes, yes there are warmer days ahead (especially with our upcoming move?).
Spring is also a great time to start building your swimsuit collection because they are more of a seasonal piece, so they tend to get a bit picked-over. You remember how the saying goes – the early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the cutest swimsuit. I love the classic look of a one-piece, plus love the security they provide, so here’s a roundup of my favs. I’ll definitely be snagging at least a few for myself.

2. Wrap Tie cross Back $29
3. Ribbed Side-Cinch $29
4. Ruffle Top $34
5. Black/White Floral $34

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

looking for inspiration?
We recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

Hi,
What is the colour on the wall? I love it!
Hi! It is Lamp Room Gray by Farrow & Ball.
hi- just want to say i can’t believe you push through mom-ing a houseful, continual renovations, running a business, and providing so much blog content. it’s a lot under the best of circumstances and you are not experiencing the best of circumstances. i wish you all the best!!!!!!
I recently bought #7 (wrap bandeau) and I love it! Also thrilled that Aerie offers “long” sizes on their one-pieces. (I’m 6′ tall with a long torso, so it’s perfect.)
