It’s officially that time of year. Time to break out the sun hats, swimsuits and cover ups for some fun in the sun. I never really used to care about bathing suits. I would wear the same one for several years in a row and maybe add an inexpensive top or cover up from Target if I felt inspired. But before leaving for my honeymoon I decided to splurge and buy a nice suit I had my eye on. The difference in quality was amazing. Nothing pinched or hugged the wrong way and I felt really good in it, a feeling most women can attest to being worth every penny spent. Below are a few suits that have caught my eye this year as well as a few cover ups I recently purchased and looovvvee. Hooray for warm weather and sandy beaches!

I have had my eye on this brand, Triangl, for awhile. Their suits are so eye catching and the bold color patterns are funky and fun. Check them out here.

Seafolly has been popping up all over blogs lately and it snags my attention every time with their pretty floral patterns. This top is the best kind of triangle style to make ‘the girls’ look their best. Check them out here.

I own this bathing suit from LSpace and it is without question the best suit I have ever owned. It is really flattering up top and secure at the same time. The strappy back is sexy without being over the top. Lots of options here and here. This is my favorite top.

Every single suit in the Mikoh collection is sexy. If you are heading on a honeymoon or sexy vacay you really should check them out. Their suits feel unique and original, a great brand to shop if you want something different than everyone else by the pool. Check them out here.

The older I get the less I worry about getting a tan and the more I try to protect my skin. This suit is crazy cute for making that happen. It also happens to double as the most chic rash guard you’ve ever seen. Check it out here.

One pieces are definitely turning up the heat this season with sexy side cutouts and vibrant paterns. I love the thin straps on this suit to help avoid funky tan tines. The entire Clover Canyon brand is full of great beach picks. Check this suit out here and the rest of the brand here.

Probably the prettiest suit of them all. A great figure flattering cut with sexy cutouts that is just begging for a large brim hat and over-sized sunnies to really rock the Hollywood glam look. Check it out here.

We can’t forget the cover-ups! I just bought this Tularosa gem and am completely obsessed. It is nice and thin to rock over a suit but can also be tucked into distressed jeans for a boho vibe. Check it out here.

Same double use story, different (and less expensive) tunic. This material is light as a feather and has a natural texture to it so you don’t have to worry about it getting wrinkled in your beach bag. I snagged this one too! Check it out here.
