{Cover swimsuit // other styles I love: here, here, here, here, here}

This swimsuit was MADE FOR ME: It’s UPF 50. One-piece. Long-sleeve. Chic (Jaime King recently wore it, to shut down all ya haterrrs!) (I don’t know if I have haters. It very likely might just be my mom reading this blog.) (And sometimes her book club.) I recently celebrated my 30th birthday in Mexico, and was looking for a swimsuit that would keep my skin porcelain doll-like and cancer-free, as well as hold in all of the tacos and margaritas I intended to consume. I followed through on that plan hard, and this suit did its job – I returned to Los Angeles without a tan or sunburn, carrying about 10-lbs+ of tacos and tequila on my belly and hips. Melanoma is no joke (especially for people with a family history of skin cancer, like me), and I never leave the house without SPF on. I love that swimsuits like this are not only being made, but celebs like Jaime are making them cool. If you’d told 13-year-old me that I’d be willingly posting pictures of myself in a swimsuit on the internet, I probably would’ve jumped off a cliff right then to prevent it. But now, this attention-whore is using her soapbox to say this: Summer is coming! Wear your sunscreen! Get a long-sleeve UPF-rich suit! Eat tacos and live your life! K, happy Tuesday, bye.
