The weather is making a statement.

And that statement continues to be "I hate you Micaela. And I will not give you springtime sunshine and warmth. Ever. MUAHAHA." Anyway, no more about that, so I'm going to keep going with my springtime kick and showcase a few bathing suits today. Being a true Southern California girl, born and raised, I have always spent my summers running between the beach, the lake, and the pool. And by summer I pretty much mean March through October. Although in all honesty I spent a great deal of the other months there as well, especially at night. Bonfires at the beach are a classic staple in my life, or at least they were before I moved to the igloo. But anyway I digress.

I prefer not to feel naked when I'm hanging out by (in) the water so I'm definitely more a fan of covering up. I'm very particular about my bathing suits too, so there's that. Vintage pieces have definitely been making a comeback which is not only incredibly fun and beautiful, but also extremely helpful in the whole modesty department. So let's start shall we?

 I can't even tell you how much I adore this one. In fact, I don't even think I can tell you why. 

I just love the vintage style, the color blocking, everything about it. 

Also, even though I do not shop at anthropologie simply because it is ridiculous expensive, this little beauty is from there and I'm finding it increasingly difficult not to purchase it. I can definitely say that if I had a job right now I would already have it in my collection.

 This one is also from Anthro, and I just love the print.

DVF. I obviously have a problem with expensive taste. 

Ah well, I guess we all have our battles to fight. 

You guys, I have this EXACT suit, but it's a brighter turquoise. 

Oh and instead of being $80 from J.Crew, it was made for me as a gift. :)

This is from SouthMoonUnder, a little online retailer I encourage you all to check out.

Rey Swimwear.

Another Rey. And love her hair. :)

 

This coverup I found online at Gap, and I think it's adorable. 

Of course I would never ever in a million years wear it any other way than with a bathing suit, 

but since I live in them almost 3/4 of the year, I'm ok with it. :) If only it was in my size.

EverythingButWater. I absolutely love the freshness of white. It's just so nice and crisp.

And I love the fun flowiness of a maxi. This particular one is VS.

So where do you guys shop for bathing suits? Are any of you also loving the return of classy vintage? And how do you spend your summers? You know I always love to hear!
