 So Craig and I are headed to the Caribbean for a cruise in just under six weeks.  We’re both beyond excited because the last tropical vacation we took was when we went to Hawaii the spring I was pregnant with Ava.  (she’s now over 2)  In other words, we could really use a little break.

We’ve been getting our fannies in gear, working out and I, of course, have already started to plan what I’m packing… but mostly, I’ve been browsing through dozens and dozens of one-piece bathing suits, looking for one that not only flatters my body, but that also feels like me.  I feel like I’ve gotten really lucky in the bathing suit department lately.  Now that one pieces have come back in style, there are so many gorgeously glam options that not only make a statement, they’re also flattering, and modest.  There were so many years where that wasn’t the case and since I avoid bikinis for personal and religious reasons, there weren’t a lot of options available in general, and especially for someone like me, who has the tiniest chest, possibly on the planet.  A few of my favorite places to find great glam one pieces are Nordstrom, J Crew, and Anthropologie.  And here are my 8 current favorites.  I’m planning on adding at least 2, possibly 3 of these to my suitcase before we leave.  Eeek!

Are you traveling somewhere warm anytime soon?
