Suit Up: One Piece Wonders

(Via Megan Hess)

I have been in the Sunshine State for ten days, and wore a swimsuit every day. I soon discovered that I didn't pack enough. Shopping for suits is such a trying task, isn't it? I would much prefer to do it in the privacy of my own home. My bikini days are behind me. The only suit I dare to wear is a one piece, and that's okay.  The one piece is always classic, and seems to really be making a splash this season. Here are my top twelve stylish suits.

Greek Tiles Goddess One-Piece

Nanette Lepore has designed a suit that is both sexy and sophisticated. Love the fabulous back!

Lisa Marie Fernandez Swimwear

Wedding Wednesday: Bridal Lingerie & Little Lovelies

I remember, back in the day, carefully selecting lingerie for my wedding and honeymoon. It was all of the utmost importance to me. In doing so, what I wore under my gown was perfect and beautiful. In fact, I still have those ivory silk undies with a touch of something blue. It was so much fun to have fresh "everything" for the honeymoon. So my challenge today was to pick some pretties for the modern bride, and a few little lovelies that will make her smile.
