bathing beauty

One of the reasons i love jcrew is for their bathing suits. they are wonderful! each year they come out with such great styles, not the same old boring halter triangle top. new cuts, new styles, new textures, made with quality fabrics. they are lined and all my jcrew suits have lasted me for years. the best part? they have a fabulous selection of one piece suits! while other stores (ahem, gap and old navy) have two suits to chose from or the same suit in differing colors, jcrew offers a wide selection for many body types. also, they have a great return policy so if you don't love it when it arrives, no problem.

i saw this one online today. isn't it beautiful? how could you not feel good when you were putting that on? so luxurious.

i'm thinking of this one.
the only drawback is they are a wee bit expensive which is why my heart is not set on the silky looking one at the top. but, if you hit the beach or pool a lot in the summer think of it as an investment that will last for years to come! i know i sound like i'm in sales mode. i don't work for jcrew (i wish i did), but it's always nice to get a little help with the dreaded swimsuit shopping!

UPDATE: apparently more people read my blog than i thought because the blue bathing suit is sold out! i was waiting until payday to buy it. one day earlier and it could have been mine!! what a sad day it is.
