BGG, I love your picks. I happen to love both bikinis and one piece suits. It just depends on my mood. I went to a water park yesterday and was amazed at the number of women who let it all hang out. If they can do it, anybody can. I will say, there is something to be said for confidence which is what you need to sport some of these tiny little cuties! I say go for it!

These are so much fun! I love the keyhole 1 piece. Thanks. Now to the gym!

I like ALL of 'em!

They make me want to start doing some sit-ups so I can fit into them.

I just ordered a turquoise and black 1 piece w/halter style top from Land's End a few days ago.

I hate my taste... so damn expensive... I am love love loving that black cut-out joint but no way in heck I would pay that much for a bathing suit

Nerd Girl said...

I wear two piece suits - they're more flattering on me than one piece suits. Cute choices!

BGG! perfect for this weather.
That is funny you have bathing suits on BGG today. I looked for one this weekend and could not find one that I liked and could afford. I hate buying bathing suits I get suicidal.
I really like your picks Tropical print and Mossimo is what I was looking for.

I absolutely love bikinis even though my tummy now calls for a one piece. What do you think, do us big tummy girls need to stick with one pieces or tankini at the least?

That first swimsuit is it! You always making me spend money BGG....LOL

I prefer one pieces. (I love the purple one) But I hate going to the beach so I don't even own a swimsuit. I do like looking for swimsuits and imaging wearing one, one day!

Wes said...

I'm addicted to bathing suits like I'm addicted to mascara... Just can't get enough, and one is just not good enough! I love the pink/black print one at the top

the two piece is the way to go ladies

Reminds me of college days and preparing for our Fashion Critiques. I modeled a suit like that black number and it was so gorgeous, 2o plus years later, I still think of that suit like a really great pair of heels
Good suits that show skin cost more because of the way they are cut, no matter how thin or how big and beautiful! Be brave ladies!

@Eb the Celeb - I'm with you!! I have expensive taste, but not enough funds to match! LOL

@12Kyle - I didn't get your comment at first, but now I do! Funny!

Afrodite said...

I'm gonna be rocking hte one-piece until I lose this weight. Hopefully I'll be in a two-piece next summer.

B said...

I LOVE the Oye Cut-out Monokini!!! Wow, I have never seen a suit like that... but $363?!?? Ugh... why can't Target or H&M sell it for $50? Oh well, I'll just admire it from here I guess...

I love your page and style BGG!
