Every year I try to delay buying any swimwear as much as I can, but I end up missing the ones I really like. Something you wear ocassionaly for 3 months a year only  does not seem like a priority and I always end up focusing on footwear or sunglasses. This year though I decided I would change that and hopefully get at least one good swimsuit. Unfortunately I usually don’t find what I like in stores so shopping online is a much better alternative. It is tricky though because I find swimwear is something you really need to try first! Since I already have a lovely one piece I went with a bikini this time to have some variety. I actually got the first bikini by 3.1 Phillip Lim. I actually love the simple design and it’s my favorite color so hopefully it’s a keeper.

Browsing online this is my selection of the best pieces available:

Bikinis: 1.navy by  3.1 Phillip Lim 2. high waisted by Rachel Comey  3. striped bikini Norma Kamali

One Piece: 1. striped by  J Crew, 2. navy blue by Lanvin, 3.flower print by Bottega Venetta
