Sun’s out, bum’s out! Well, I mean, kind of. Summer has always been my favorite season due to its long days, short nights, endless sunshine, and summer heat. Throw in a

poolside margarita and I am one happy gal. I feel my best in summer and I also feel like I look my best! Glowing with a bronzed tan definitely makes me look more alive than an anemic, porcelain doll in the wintertime.

Swimsuits are among my favorite possessions, and I am always ready for a secret swimming-hole adventure with bathing suits stashed in the back of my car. I also deeply appreciate swimsuits tailored with a curvier body in mind. It’s never fun to make a 20-foot dive off of a cliff and into the water only to discover that your swimsuit top has all but disappeared! Or for the bigger-bummed folks like myself, how about those moments strolling around the pool when you realize that your swimsuit bottom seems to have slipped right into your crack? That has not been one of my crowning moments. So without further adieu, I am going to guide you through my personal summer-approved swimsuit list for the season. Take a look at some of my favorite swimmers and try them for yourselves.
