Today, stylist Michele Beam will give us her in-depth review of swimsuits for the season. Everyone get out of denial, Spring Break is right around the corner.
Swim At Your Own Risk
The time has arrived, ladies, and the dreaded thought of finding the perfect swimsuit is upon us. I cringe because it’s the time when counting calories, paying closer attention to shaving habits, and explaining to my husband why last year’s suit will not suffice for this year. (I guess he’ll never “get it,” but that’s an entirely different post.)
I’ve surfed the entire internet three times, and — just for you — posted my 2012 faves. From full coverage… to little coverage… to no coverage (if you’re feeling frisky).
Without further ado,
Lucky you
