I was in Miami earlier for Swim Week which, incase you didn’t know, is a fashion week dedicated solely to swim wear [Don’t be fooled- it’s basically fashion’s excuse to lay by the beach, drink out of pineapples and call it work]. It was my first time at swim week, and I’ve gotta say- New York could deeeeefinitely take some notes. I’ll be dreaming of the hot weather come February while we’re all freezing in the snow!
My overall style is casual glamour, and swim is no exception. I prefer to wear one pieces- I like the more conservative style, but there’s also something so glamorous and retro about them. Most of the shows I saw had a lot of great one pieces coming down the runway [Mara Hoffman’s were everything] so thankfully I have plenty of options!
I thought I’d show you some of my off duty looks from the weekend-

I found my cover ups / one pieces on bikini.com. They have a ton of different swim brands/pieces all together on one site, super helpful if you’re trying to plan vacation outfits or just want to see everything at once instead of clicking from store to store. The sandals I wore in the shots above can be found here – I got them for 40% off during a sale [yaaaaaaaas, honey] and they are the closest I will come to wearing birks.
Writing this has extended my post-vacation depression. Take me back to the beach.

Gorgeous photos and swim suits.
I’m so happy one pieces are becoming more on trend! Also, I cannot bring myself to have briks either… so many horrendous memories of potato shoes back in the 90s/2000s. Ack.
