Want the scoop on Summersalt Swim? I finally did it, I got my hands on this insta-famous swimsuit brand and tried a few of their one pieces, their activewear, their pajamas, their dresses and their cover ups!

Now, y'all know I LOVE a great bathing suit.  I believe that wearing a great fitting swimsuit will change your whole outlook on wearing them, and one of my favorite things to do around here? Is to find new swimsuits that y'all love on YOUR body as much as I love them on my pear shaped body…..to me, a huge part of my own body positivity journey has been taking the time to truly find pieces I love that make me feel my best.  Swimsuit anxiety is a real thing, and I truly believe that taking the time to find a suit that makes you feel beautiful is really important.

Summersalt Suits: want the scoop on this instagram famous swim brand? It's size inclusive and sustainable.....and comes in some great prints and colors!

A bit about Summersalt as a Company: 

Summersalt Swimsuits are based on over a million body measurements and 3d body scans taken from over 10,000 women.  They pride themselves on having a stellar fit, and com in a great size range (most from 2 to 22).

Summersalt Swim suits are sustainably made and crafted from recycled and sustainable materials (78% Recycled Polyamide / 22% Lycra). Most items are also shipping in recycled bags.

Representation is important.  Did you see Summersalt's Every Body is a Summersalt Body project this past year spring and summer? It's stunning and showcased an amazing group of models and diverse women (including body liberation activist jessamyn stanley, entertainment reporter catt sadler, professional soccer player ali krieger, author stacy london, olympic gymnast chelsea werner and model maye musk, who I just LOVE).

Summersalt Swim: A Full Review

Shop Summersalt Swim and Clothing:

If there is one brand that I get asked about every time….it's Summersalt Swim (and their other pieces as well).  This insta-famous brand has a stellar reputation, and every year I see more and more fans of their swim pieces.  So this year?  I finally tried it ALL.  Did you know that Summersalt makes more than swimsuits? They also make pajamas, coverups, dresses, activewear and loungewear.  So I decided if I was going to try Summersalt Swim, I needed to try it ALL.

My Info:

Sizing: size 10-12

Summersalt Swim Suits:

Want the scoop on Summersalt Swim? I finally did it, I got my hands on this insta-famous swimsuit brand and tried a few of their one pieces, their activewear, their pajamas, their dresses and their cover ups!

The Ruched Sidestroke (size 12): This suit? FITS LIKE A DREAM.  It's super flattering with just a bit of compression, and I love love love the one shoulder top of the suit as a fun alternate to traditional shoulder straps.  Medium booty coverage, and comes in a variety of prints and bright colors. I love the star print that I got, it's so much fun! They also released this in a lovely floral print in collaboration with Rifle Paper co.  If you love a one-shoulder look, then this is a great new suit option for you!  This is one of Summersalt's most popular styles and comes in both regular and long-torso styles so that you can find the perfect fit for all body types.

The Tie Waist Backflip (size 12): Looking for a classic style that you'll wear year after year? No wonder the Backflip is Summersalt's top seller and one of their most popular suit styles.  It's adorable, comfortable and comes in really fun cold colors and unique color combinations (I love that the waist tie is functional and adjustable).  This suit has medium bust support and soft cups in the top.

Summersalt Cover Ups:

The Palazzo Pant With Ties (size large): These are a GEM of a find.  I'd seen a few of my favorite fashion bloggers raving about these Palazzo pants as a great coverup and casual summer outfit option.  And man, were they right.  These pants are super comfy and great for pulling on over a suit or wearing with a simple tank.  Warning, they do run a bit big.  I'm normally a large in bottoms, but I probably could have gone down to a medium for these. If you're looking for fun coverup options for your next vacation, these are a GREAT choice!

Summersalt Clothing:

Did you know that Summersalt makes more than just swimsuits? This caftan dress is just LOVELY!

The Cinched Waist Caftan Dress (size medium): this dress? Such a surprise favorite.  I wore it to brunch over the weekend and got SO many compliments.  It's a great, non-wrinkly fabric so would be perfect traveling and feels super comfy!

The Silky Flutter Sleeve Dress (size medium): Warning, this will be in regular rotation as one of my favorite Disneyland outfits.  I love love love the polka dots, and it's perfect for dressing up or down.  Belt totally detaches, so you can tie at a place that you love.

The Softest French Terry Jogger (size large): Listen, if you are looking for a LUXE, comfortable sweat suit…..then these pants are for YOU.  They're amazingly soft, and come in really fun colors and prints.

The Softest French Terry Puff Short Sleeve (size medium): I love a puff sleeve, and this top? Adds a little extra pizazz to the joggers.  Yes, these pieces are an investment.  But, I have a feeling I'll be getting a LOT of use out of them.

The Cloud 9 Silky PJ Shorts Set (size large): Looking for comfy pajamas? For either yourself or as a nice gift? These are…..LOVELY.  Just lovely.  They're soft and comfortable and wash REALLY well.  I'm trying to hold back from ordering another pair!  They come in fun, bold colors and I would suggest as a great gift idea for a new mom or girlfriend.

Summersalt Activewear:

The Do-It-All High Rise Biker Shorts (size large): Now, we all know I love biker shorts.  They're perfect for workouts or at home wear with a comfortable tee.  So I was VERY curious to see how this pair would measure up.  The verdict? I love that they're high waisted, and they're a great price point for higher end biker shorts.

The Softest Tencel Short Sleeve Pocket T-Shirt (size medium): The most basic item in everyone's wardrobe? A great t shirt.  And this one? Oh my gosh, it's a gem.  The fabric is thick enough to hold up nicely and hold it's shape and it's JUST long enough without being tunic-like.  I got it in the pinot color and now? I'm about to order it in white as well!

Have you tried Summersalt Swim Suits? Summersalt Clothing? What are your favorite pieces? I hope that this Summersalt swimwear review helps you to find a new suit that you love!

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
