Okay so I am loving my mountainous life.  I go hiking every morning, I marvel at the beauty of the mountains, and I breathe the cleanest, most gorgeous air in America.

But I miss my messy Miami... probably why I still have a home there!
Fortunately, I am literally a hop-skip-and jump away from the Cali ocean... so when I need that saltwater fix- well- we hop in the car and we get it!  Did I ever write about or cute little secret hotel there....??
But I digress.

This post isn't just about my incessant travel bug that lives inside of me!  It's about how cute I'm going to look when I'm out in the sunshine! 

And, per usual... Lanvin would do that just PERFECTLY.

(disclaimer: I have owned a strapless leopard print maillot for several years now, purchased at a sample sale at the Shore Club and designed by Melissa Odabash - it seved me well for a time!!  Her designs are beautiful!)

This swimsuit is so perfect for a few reasons.

First, the cut in the bust.  As a DD, trust me- I know what looks good, on all sizes.  This cut will enhance cleavage in a good way- whether you're A or D.
The belt.  Hellllooo curves!

I think I even detect some slight ruching at the legs????  Perfecto!!!

Here it is on their mannequin model (warning: will not look like this at home!  Embrace your body don't be a hater and don't expect to look like plastic!)
you can really see the old vintage style here with the high waist and the low leg... but LOSE the SHOES!
just learn how to walk on your tiptoes by the pool.. so much more chic than trashy stilettos.  Trust me.

 

This swimsuit may look best whilst lounging on a fluffy chaise oceanside, preferably at the new Soho Beach House in MIami where they WASH OFF YOUR FEET when you lay down and bring you gorgeous nibbly things and cocktails with a wave of a flag.

ahhhhhhh....
