Today, we're talking all about swimwear (one of my favorite things)! In high school, I worked at The Clothes Basket in my hometown which is a store that only sells swimsuits... I'm talking floor to ceiling on every wall of their store... every girl's dream. So needless to say, I've definitely been around my fair share of swimsuits and I have a pretty good idea of what I think are amazing brands that will last longer than just one season. In this post, I'm going to be talking about a few of my favorite brands and some of the current styles I am loving!

My absolute favorite brand is Seafolly. This is an Australian company that I discovered while working at The Clothes Basket. Once you try on a Seafolly suit, you will immediately understand why they are my favorite. I don't think that any other brand I own fits as well as Seafolly. The most popular suit is the Goddess Bikini (suit on the left). I own two of them in the colors Red Hot & Sable. This suit is really versatile because you can tie it in a few different ways. You can wear it like the picture, or tie them behind your back for a strapless look. You can even twist them in front. Last year, I went with the high neck trend and got the white & black suit on the right! I ended up just getting the top & I paired it with plain black bottoms.  

One of my other favorites brands is Trina Turk. To be honest, I'm just obsessed with the colors and prints of her bikinis! They are so bright & colorful & perfect for summer. I have a couple of her suits from 3 and 4 years ago and they still look just as beautiful today as they did then. I have my eye on this suit this year & the matching coverup romper. I had to throw this romper in this post even though it's not technically swimwear. I would definitely wear this romper to lunch at the beach or for a shopping day. I'm OBSESSED with it!

Becca suits are a little more affordable than Seafolly & Trina Turk but just as cute! I'm loving the high neck styles of these two and how they are so different than the usual triangle tops! The blue high neck macrame top would be gorgeous on a ton of skin tones & I love the colors of the second suit plus the additional straps on the shoulders make it unique. 

Another brand that is a little more affordable is Rip Curl. They also have super cute and trendy suits. I love this mayan print suit & this high neck suit with the lines across the bust! Both of these are under $50.

Some of my other favorite swimsuit brands are Body Glove, Luli Fama, OndadeMar, Maaji, & L*Space.

Cozy, Cobalt & Casual

Blue Sweater: Banana Republic (on sale for $30 & comes in 11 colors)  | White Jeans: Articles of Society | Shoes: Converse | Tote: Tory Burch | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Watch : Michael Kors 

For some reason, I've been on a cobalt/royal blue kick! I went shopping this past weekend and more than half of the items I picked up were blue. Normally, I'm a red and pink kind of girl but I think I'll be transforming into a cobalt and turquoise girl for the upcoming spring and summer months. I love this sweater! It's super warm and comfy and comes in 11 other colors. It's been really cold in Birmingham but I still want to wear bright colors so this sweater is the answer! I also love the lime green color. PS these earrings came in one of my Rocksbox packages and this month I received these gorgeous Loren Hope earrings. If you would like to try out a month for free, use the code abigailee6xoxo! You won't regret it, I promise.

Casual Valentine's Outfit

Heart Elbow Patch Sweater: Modcloth | Jeans: old (similar) | Shoes: sold out (similar) | Purse: Tory Burch | Glasses earrings: Kate Spade | Embroidered Baseball Cap: Etsy

Happy February 1st everyone! I cannot believe it is already the second month of the year! January was like a blur. A big cold blur. I'm glad February is here, not only because of Valentine's day and the option to spoil your significant other, but because we basically have an excuse to eat sweets all month long. PS my roommate and I are on a mission to score some Krispy Kreme Valentine donuts this month... wish us luck! We weren't so lucky with Christmas donuts. 

Anyway, onto this adorable heart shaped elbow patch sweater! This sweater is so cute and definitely a good option for a couple that isn't planning on getting dressed to the 9's for a dinner date on the fourteenth. This is a fun casual date idea for Valentines and it will keep you warm. I'm also loving this sweatshirt with a heart on the front, and this sweatshirt that says "Hugs & Kisses." Another casual option for those of you that won't be having any cold weather is this super cute heart tee or this sequin elbow patch lightweight sweater! 

I hope ya'll are having a great start to the week and to February! Thanks for stopping by.
