what i wore: mara hoffman in greece

these mara hoffman bikini bottoms were a staple in milos, i wore them most days.  of course in europe people wear as little as possible on the beach, so i felt a little over-dressed until i decided to join them and ditch my bikini top! and then it was nice to have a little extra coverage on the bottom. 

what are your thoughts on high waisted bikini bottoms? too grandma or cute in the right circumstance? i'm on the fence. i love them in theory but i have to be honest, in looking through our vacation photos i realized they might not be the most flattering (i'll spare you those photos).  i like them in the above but it's all about a good angle. straight on- well, not so cute.  or maybe i'm just being over critical of myself. do you have a pair?  do you love them?

more greece goodness to come this week as i reminisce about our vacation and try to transport us all back there through our snaps!  *photos by my handsome husband lou mora

it's that time of year, let's show some skin and get sunny!

bring on the beach days, backyard bbq's, and days by whatever pool you can find to soak up the sun. and you know what that means, you're either wearing your swimsuit from last year or doing the dreaded shopping trips to pick one up. i don't believe in buying swimwear in stores, personally.  i find dressing room lighting to be too painful and trying on a dozen swimsuits under those conditions will only lead me to feel bad about myself and vow to stay inside until fall.
