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: 

5 foot 6

Sizing: size 10-12

bra: 36B

pear shaped body

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!

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
