Hi All, Today I have possibly the cutest bathing suit ever! Sorry if this post is a little pic-heavy- but I just love this suit! I attribute these last two suits as a repercussion of too many sporty suits in the weeks before. I just can't keep my girly side in for...
Hi All! Today I have a very pretty and classy suit! A nice change from all the sportier things I've been doing! I definitely threw a million design elements in this one! It is a one-piece suit with a modesty panel ending right at the hips, ruched in the front with a...
