Fashion Friday- It's pool party time!


Well, well, well it's that time again!  My favorite day of the week.  I've really come to enjoy my Friday posts.  I love linking up for Fashion Friday over at Blonde Episodes and Friday's Fancies over at {long distance loving}.  Click here for my Friday's Fancy post.

Today's theme is pool party time!  And you all know what that means:  bathing suits.  I have a very special pool party to attend tomorrow.  You see it's my little Mel's birthday party.  We observing Saturday as her birthday even thought it's really Tuesday - it makes it easier to celebrate.  So, Mel and her hubby are having a pool party/bbq bash at their house.  I'm really excited and it will be a lot of fun. 

I think it is safe to say that shopping for a bathing suit can be quite challenging at times.  It is very gratifying when you finally find that right suit, the right fit, the right color and it looks oh so fabulous on...doesn't it?  I know you know exactly what I'm talking about, dont' you?  I knew you did. 

I thought it would be fun to share a bunch of suits of all different styles and colors.  Let me know which one is your favorite.

One of my absolute favorite things to do while in the water is float exactly like this.


I am really digging that one pieces and retro style bathing suits are making a comeback.  I like the concealing factor a bit more than the real (but, then again that may have something to do with turning 35 this year...?  Maybe...)


I am absolutely loving this peach suit right now.  Loving it!  This is a definite add to my Fashion Fairy list. 
It's very feminine yet, sexy all-in-one, don't you agree?

Believe it or not this is a cover-up.  I was really surprised however, I love it.  Another add to my list for the Fashion Fairy.

I have a hooded cover-up very similar to this and I'll be honest and say that I still have yet to wear it. 
Hopefully, one day soon...  I hope.

This is on outfit that I posted in my Wanderlust Wednesday post this week and I absolutely adore it.  And I want it!  I want each and every item.  I think it's a great way of showing what you cover-up your suit with -- all while hanging out and running errands in Positano, Italy prior to hitting the beach. 

This is the Positano Gucci bag and I WANT IT!  I think this is a fabulous addition to any beach outfit.  And "yes" it's definitely big enough to fit the essentials for the beach.  Oh yes!  Fashion Fairy, Fashion Fairy...come out, come out, wherever you are...I pretty please with sugar on top want this bag...oh yes I do.

Ok, let me be frank:  I want to pull off this look.  Period. 
And probably by the end of the summer I'll be able to. 
I'm still working on slimming down my hips. 
{a future post about this}

I thought this was a fun picture to include.  Girlfriends at the beach are a definite must and so much fun.  However, I'd say these lovely ladies need a few beach towels and a cooler full of frosty beverages.  And some snacks too...
I'll take one of these please.

This is a very pretty suit.

Great suit:  sassy and chic.  Pale pink with a pop of turquoise, mauve, and orange.

I have never worn anything quite like this but, I'd love to try it.  Wouldn't you?

This is a fabulous suit by Victoria's Secret and I have one that is similar (with more magenta).
However, my suit doesn't look quite like this on...

I love this ruffled should strap.

I hope you like my picks.  What's your suit style and your favorite color? 
Don't forget to stop over to Blonde Episodes and see the other Fashion Friday posts. 
Have a wonderful weekend, I hope you have fun plans.
Have a wondeful weekend!

  1. Terrific post!!! SO need to get a swim suit. Yes, I don't have one anymore. :( And I'm right there with you...I like the concealing factor these days...makes me feel more feminie of some sort. Maybe it's got to do something with the age, but I'm not so sure. ;)
    And that cover-up dress is one my to-buy list for sure! As a dress of course. :)
