Fashion Fix {Our Favorite Becca Swimsuits}

Jen is on vacation this week and we will be on vacation next week!  Our trip is something we rescheduled from last year and I cannot wait!  We're pretty much going to be living in swimsuits so I knew I wanted to grab another one or two for our trip. I usually have a lot of luck at Target for less expensive suits, but if I want something that is going to last and make me feel like a million bucks, I always turn to Becca swimsuits.  Jen and I both own several of hers and love them!  The cut, style, lace details and coverage are perfect on her suits. They are all super sophisticated looking to me and really help you feel confident in a swimsuit, which isn't an easy thing to do. Plus, every time I wear one of them I get compliments!  

Crochet One Piece 

I've only ever tried her one piece suits so this year I ordered two bikinis to try.  They are going to show up right before my trip so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they will fit! In all of my online shopping I found some REALLY adorable styles I thought I would share because I had such a hard time narrowing it down.  These are not cheap and y'all should know by now that I am ALWAYS a bargain shopper. However, in my opinion this is one of those things that are just worth the cost.  

1. Plunge One Piece 

2. Color Play One Piece 

3. Crochet Top and Bottom 

4. Crochet Plunge One Piece 

5. Banded Halter Top and Bottom

Friday Favorites: Our Favorite One Piece Swimsuits

Happy Friday!  Usually after a 3 day weekend the week flies by, but that just isn't the case this week. It has DRAGGED!!!!  The weather hasn't been great and it's hard with the kids home all day with nothing to do now that school is over. There are no camps, no sports this week and we can't go to the movies or trampoline parks or anything we would normally do on a rainy summer day. Here's hoping for sunny summer days ahead!

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite one piece swimsuits!  I had a friend ask me the other day about this topic and so I figured I would do a blog post about it!

Our FAVORITE suit last summer was THIS ONE!  We even showed up at the lake one day twinning! 

I know a lot of moms don't feel comfortable wearing a bikini anymore and even if you do there are times that you just want to be a little more covered up.  Especially when you want to be the fun mom and do things like jump in the pool or go down the water slides...something we've been known for a time or two.

Being FUN MOMS!!!  Both of our suits in this pic are from Nip Tuck Swim! 

The good news is that one piece swimsuits are totally on trend this summer and we did a little round up of some of our very favorites!  

Black one shoulder - The one shoulder trend is SO popular this year!

Blue ruffle stripe - This suit is adorable and we love the girly details!

One shoulder ruffle - This one comes in a TON of colors and has over 1,000 great reviews!!!

Orange color block - We love the color blocking on this one and it also comes in a teal and pink color block.

Tropical palm leaves - This is another one that has TONS of great reviews and comes in a bunch of different colors/patterns.  The cut of it and the placement of the mesh straps are SUPER flattering.

Black crochet - This was our favorite last summer and is still available in a few sizes.  There is also an updated version HERE.

Orange ruffle - This suit is so cute on and we love the ruffles! It comes in a bunch of colors and also has a bunch of great reviews.

Leopard one shoulder - You know us and our love of animal print!  Combine it with a one shoulder suit and we are in love!

Blue lace - OK, this one is a little more revealing than some of the others, but it is so pretty and if you are looking to show a little more skin, but still be covered this is a great option.

Tie-dye - We had to include a fun tie-dye swimsuit since it's our favorite print this summer!


When we were doing our round up we couldn't pick just a few because there are seriously SO many cute ones out this summer.  Here are a few others that we love!!!

leopard // ruffle (also comes in white) // floral and striped //scalloped one shoulder (also comes in pink)

This leopard print one is actually one of my personal favorites this summer.  I love how you can tie up the sides of the legs so it doesn't cut into your hips.

When I spotted this cut-out suit it reminded me of a style I used to have when I was a kid called belly-busters.  Does anyone remember those?  It was connected on the side, but your belly still showed, hence the name.  SO impressed with the quality of this one!

Are you a one piece or a bikini kind of mom?

Fashion Fix: One Piece Swimsuits

Happy Friday friends! This week we are changing our Friday Favorites up a bit, and chatting about one subject. But it's a good one!!

All right ladies - swimsuit season is almost here! The biggest trend in women's swimsuits lately seems to be the one piece. For the record this is a trend we can fully get behind. We spend most of our year on the water, and while we love a good bikini or a tankini, we've found that the one piece is our new go-to swimsuit style of choice.

We love the one piece for a lot of reasons, but the biggest is that it's a no worry piece. As water loving moms we are constantly bending down, playing in the water, digging in the sand, doing cannon balls with the best of them, and occasionally breaking out that old wakeboard of ours. We want to be able to play and have fun with our family and not worry about pieces of our bikini floating away at inopportune times. (Is there ever an opportune time for that to happen?)

We used to think the one piece was "old lady-ish", but totally not the case. There are so many trendy, fun, sexy, and our personal favorite - slimming! - ones out there. Now that we've found the magic of the one piece we might not ever go back to our separate swimsuit ways. 

Here's a peek at some of our favorite one piece swimsuits!

ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS

We've noticed the difference between it being a mom swimsuit and feeling like a mom swimsuit is all in the details. Little subtle additions or details can make the swimsuit go from frumpy to fabulous. Here's a peek at some of our favorite tiny details that make a huge difference!

This navy swimsuit was a favorite of ours last year, and even with it's inexpensive price it held up great. We love the little criss-cross detailing in the back and in the front. It comes in tons of fun colors, has great reviews, and is definitely going to be one of our go-to's this year too! 

Here's a peek at some other fun detailed swimsuits we love...

1. Pineapple Patterned Swimsuit

2. Scalloped Edge Swimsuit (comes in a ton of fun colors and patterns too!)

RUFFLED

Ruffled details might just be our favorite out of the one piece swim suit trend. I (Jen) spotted this little hot pink swimsuit in the most unlikeliest of places - in the middle of nowhere South Georgia at Walmart. I was halfway into my spring break road trip and realized I ran out of wipes. I was checking out and spotted this out of the corner of my eye. It was pink and ruffled - I couldn't leave it behind!

I bought it on a whim and instantly texted CB about it. The next day I wore it on the beach and got stopped at least three times by other women asking where I purchased it. I also put this photo up on Instagram, and to date it might be the most asked about item we have ever shared. I answered probably close to 50 emails about it. 

And because it was just that awesome...

Carrie Beth bought it too! 

It's under $20 and we've had several people send us their photos or purchases of this swimsuit saying they love it too! We are all feeling the love for the ruffle! Here are a few more favorite ruffled swimsuit options we've seen out and about...

1. Alex Marie Fields of Green Ruffle Plunge Swimsuit
2. Light Pink Ruffle One Piece Swimsuit
3. Black Halter Ruffle Swimsuit
4. Striped Ruffle Cut Out Swimsuit
5. Red Floral One Piece Swimsuit
6. Black Polo Ruffle Swimsuit
7. Seersucker Striped Ruffle Swimsuit
8. Aqua Ruffle Halter One Piece Swimsuit
9. Navy Ruffle One Piece Swimsuit
10. White Plunge Ruffle Swimsuit
11. Green Floral Ruffle Swimsuit
12. J. Crew Ruffle Swimsuit

ONE SHOULDER

This black ruffled one shoulder swimsuit is probably my all time favorite swimsuit. The cut is so flattering and the slight ruched siding is slimming. Even with tons of wear over last summer and being packed on several trips since then it has held up great and still looks brand new. It comes in a few other fun colors (white, coral, and blue) and I'm tempted to order them all now!

Here's a look at some of our other one shoulder favorites we've spotted in our shopping travels...

1. White Bow One Piece Swimsuit
2. Fun Cut Out One Shoulder Swimsuit
3. Black and White Striped Bow Swimsuit
4. Navy Scalloped One Shoulder Swimsuit
5. Ruffled One Shoulder Swimsuit

And this black one has been on our list to try on for awhile! Has anyone tried on a Miracle Suit? We know some ladies who rave about them, and anything to give us a little ten pound lighter look and feel - we're in!

OFF THE SHOULDER

We love the look of these off the shoulder suits and although our tan lines might not be ideal after wearing these, we think it is definitely worth it for the cute factor! While picking up the pink ruffled swimsuit mentioned above, I also spotted this one and fell in love! 

Some other's we are eyeing and adding to our carts...

1. Yellow Off The Shoulder 

2. Tropical Off The Shoulder 

3. Classic Navy Off The Shoulder

4. Hot Pink Off The Shoulder 

5. Blue Floral Off The Shoulder 

6. Blue and White Striped (Plus Sized)

CROCHET

Crochet details seem to be everywhere the season, and swimsuits are no exception!

This crochet one piece swimsuit is a new addition this year. We saw it on a few Instagram feeds and purchased it just before Spring Break. I've heard mixed reviews, but I personally fell in love the minute I put it on. Fair warning, it doesn't hide anything, but I love that it gives great coverage without feeling like I am wearing so much material like I do with some one pieces. It comes in a few different colors, and I would suggest ordering one size up especially if you are a little bustier. (Sorry for the bathroom selfie!)

Here's a look at some other great crochet options...

1. White Crochet One Piece Swimsuit
2. Crochet Inset Neck One Piece Swimsuit
3. Crochet Trimmed One Piece Swimsuit
4. High Neck Crochet Swimsuit
5. Crochet Bandeau Swimsuit
6. Peach Plunge Crochet Swimsuit

And we've been eyeing this one too...

It's a little more revealing than some, but since we are at this retailer often (sometimes several times a week), this crochet one piece keeps growing on us each time we cruise by with our cart. One day soon it might just hop in without us even realizing. It wouldn't be abnormal for this store.

Now we want to know...are you on board with the one piece swimsuit trend? Which style is your favorite? Share with us!

Fashion Fix: Ready for Summer with prAna Swimwear

**Thank you to prAna for sponsoring this post.  I was given this product in exchange for my review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own. **

Tomorrow is the last day of school around here and we couldn't be more excited!  I just love having the kids home with me for summer and we spend tons of time at the pool, lake or beach.  That means tons of time spent in a swimsuit.

While it would sometimes be nice to lounge by the pool, sip on fruity cocktails, and read my magazines all day long, that just isn't the stage of life I'm in right now.  Instead it is all about being in the water with my kids, judging cannonball contests, and reapplying sunscreen for the 10th time.  Oh, and don't forget the snacks.  I don't know what it is about kids and swimming, but they are constantly starving and needing more snacks.

Because I'm so active with the kids all summer long I need swimsuits that can go along with that lifestyle.  All moms know that can sometimes be a challenge.  Finding something that is fashionable, that makes you feel confident and covered in all the right places, and one that actually stays in place is a must.  I was recently introduced to prAna and fell in love with their line of swimwear.

They have a variety of pieces that come in so many cute designs, colors, and styles.  Everything from bikinis, tankinis, one pieces and even sun tops and swim shorts.  I really liked this feature on their website where you could create the perfect suit. I could mix and match their tops and bottoms in different styles and patterns until I found just what I wanted.

I was a little nervous to order a swimsuit online without trying it on, but the fit was perfect and very true to size. Bottoms always make me a little unsure, but these had great coverage and will be perfect for staying put while I'm playing with my kids all summer long and also super cute for those rare moments when I get to relax in the sun a bit (maybe for an adult only vacation!?!).

Once I fell in love with my new swimsuit I read a little more about prAna and fell in love with the company even more.  They are really big on giving back to communities all over the world and they also make it a priority to show love for our planet by making clothes with organic cotton, hemp and even recycled materials.  Their ultimate goal is to make sustainable clothing accessible and important to everyone.

If you are looking for a great suit that will fit correctly and one that is made to last, I definitely recommend checking out prAna.  Plus, right now our readers will receive 15% off though June 16th if you use the discount code S17PCLUCB when you check out.

I love starting each season with a little something new and I definitely feel ready for summer now that I have my new swimwear.  Bring on the sunshine, pool parties, beach trips and boat rides.  Happy

summer friends!!!
