soon to be beach bum
March 1, 2011

soon, i will live both by the sea and in the mountains. the idea to me is a little overwhelming, as i’ve always been several hours away from the water. i consider myself a mountain girl. i like the trails, the scenery and ever-flowing rivers. the idea that i could have all that plus sandy beaches, rolling waves, and year round sunny weather has never occurred to me. needless to say, i’ve begun to wrap my brain around it and cannot wait to experience it. the problem? well, i’ve got all the hippie mountain clothes i need, but now i need to start gathering easy-beach, cottage-by-the-sea, sunny-weather items. for starters, i like these suits above. what do you think? i also need to find a good romper.. (any advice?)
fig. 1: undrest diagonal suit (tied for 2nd fav?)
fig. 2: sophia top (maybe my favorite)
fig. 3: floral rush
fig. 4: avellanas suit
fig. 5: volcum striped
fig. 6: modern triangle bikini (tied for 2nd fav?)
fig. 7: sailor streamed bikini
fig. 8: plunging halter maillot
wrap up: {bathing suit} {beach} {bikini} {mountains} {summer} {swim} {swimsuits}

#8 is my favorite. I’ve been looking for a decent one-peice forever…maybe that’s the one…or something like it.
I love the water, how exciting for your move closer to it! No. 2 is hot, I’d go for that :) No. 6 is flattering too
