Are you swimsuit ready?
How many of you want to deck me for titling a post that way? HAHA! I’m sorry, but here in Florida, swimsuit season is just about here and mama’s not ready! Where did winter go?!? I’ve been meaning to seriously commit to getting in better shape and after several days of temps in the 80s, I’m now fully inspired! I think my reward for all the workouts I plan to get in will be a new tropical vaycay worthy ensemble. Oh, and I need to work on convincing the hubs that we have the time and funds for that tropcial vaycay. The outfit might be more realistic. Just sayin’.
You may remember me professing my love for the color orange the other day…Well, it’s not limited to handbags. I’m really diggin’ this juicy J. Crew swimsuit! Orange is a major color force this season! Finally, my Gator gear is in style. Woot woot!
Where would a swimsuit be without its coverup? I’ve made it no secret that stripes are my poison. How cute is this Splendid number? Am I the only one who’s forever tempted by Shopbop’s lovely stock?
Espadrille wedges…I’ll never stop loving them. Every spring I want a new pair! These Steve Madden beauties that I found at Macy’s just might be the winners this year!
What are y’all looking forward to rockin’ this swimsuit season? And more importantly…how are you getting or staying in shape for it?
And while we’re on the subjects of tropical vacations, make sure you join us over at the Frugal Living Community for Travel Week! Ebates will be giving away a seven day all inclusive Club Med vacation for two! You can find out the details in the live chat tomorrow and at the Twitter party on Thursday!
p.s. Thank you SO much to all of you who have been voted for us in The Lovelies awards! There are still a few more hours left to “like” us and/or leave a comment under BonBon Rose Girls over there. Y’all rock!
I just posted about my swim suit choice! I love J. Crew’s solid ruched femme tank!
Oh I am so not ready for a swimsuit. But I’ll take those wedges.

The striped cover up is really cute!
We are moving out of summer here but the weather is still scorching so I’m sure I will be rocking the swimsuit for awhile longer.
Love the stripy cover up.
LOVE the espadrilles! i hope they have them in my size.. i have a macys gift card that i can use! xoxo jcd
Man, I just looked at that title and felt a little sick! Count me out 🙂
Cute cute cute! A wise friend once said, “ALWAYS be ready for swim suit season.” 😉
Brilliant!
Mmm yes, perfect beach outfit!! I want a new bathing suit now :p

I also am having an obsession with stripes and navy so far this spring, and I agree taking my ass to the gym 4 times a week has become a must for pool season

I adore the orange J. Crew swimsuit! It’s slightly reminiscent of something you’d see on a pinup girl. Very cute. 🙂
Um hell to the no am I ready for swimsuit season!!! LOL. Are we ever ready though? That first suit is adorable. I voted for you! Good luck honey! Kori xoxo
Love that dress/cover-up! SOOOO cute! And bring on the swim suit weather!
Uggh…I have been trying to get ready…me and Jillian, daily…but I also have my daily sweet tooth to contend with.
I’m sure you’re further along than me lady. You and Jillian have been seeing a lot more of each other lately than she and I…HAHA!
I love that orange suit! Vintage-inspired one pieces are my absolute fave!
LOL swimsuit season sometimes never arrives in the UK so i’ve got forever to prepare haha!
This makes me want to go to the gym! Haha. But I loveee the color of that bathing suit, so cute!
I would like the orange suit, the stipe coverup and the shoes…okay,everything!
I really like that orange swimsuit!!
Haha, it’s definitely a good thing that I have tennis season to tone me up before the swimsuits come out of the closet! That J. Crew one piece is so cute; I’m kind of liking the idea of wearing one of their yellow bikinis this year.
Just liked you! Love the color of that bathing suit. And espadrilles are a weakness for me too!
I am not ready – luckily I’m starting working out with a trainer on Weds. Time to get back into shape!
In the meantime I love love love that cover up! Fabulous pics as always!

hmmm such adorable picks. I’m jealous- I wanna be there in that weather! 🙁 too bad I’m not home in Florida till mid may. not really for swimsuit season in particular but I have been hitting the gym today. Finally getting the hang of the rowing machine…. killer workout.
Oh nooo not you too!? why are all my bloggy buddies gator fans.
I guess we can’t be bffs now… but we can still be friends! haha =)
I’m not ready to don a swimsuit yet! I need more time! and more spinning class!!!!
Sorry Kristin, as cute as that suit is I kind of want to smack you for mentioning swimsuits.
I’m sooo ready for swimsuit season (even if my bod is not!)!! High of 80 today…it’s supposed to snow next week! AHHHHHHH!!! Bring on the sunshine! Might have to pop down to my ol stomping grounds in Tampa to get some sun on mace! *muah*
I’m sooooooo loving the juicy tangerine colors of spring right now …. simply delicious!
loving all of these 🙂 We went to the beach this weekend and I could use a few more hours in the gym!! I’ve been running for a month now!
You’re so lucky that it’s already getting to be swimsuit season where you live Kristin!
It’ll be a long while before we feel the heat in the Boston area 🙂 But I’m loving the cut of that suit. Usually Victoria’s Secret is my go-to spot to get sexy suits.
UGH, don’t want to think swimsuits at ALL! But love those espadrilles!
Marie @ Lemondrop ViNtAge Super cute necklace giveaway!
I’m loving the orange suit!! Maybe I’ll pick up something similar for my vacay this summer 🙂
I sort of wanted to slap you with my flabby, white, c-section tummy when I read that title. But I didn’t. 😉
OH girl those wedges are fabulous. I think I may have to go check them out 🙂
J. Crew swim is my fave. I might go for it with a tankini this year. Yikes!
I am soooo not ready but, man, that suit is calling my name big time. I love that you post one pieces. I only wear those and I love to see them all fashionable.
ahhhh i am sooo NOT swimsuit ready!! im going to a bachelorette party in miami in a few weeks too, eeks, kinda freaking out here!!
LOVE how you worked orange + blue into the swimsuit post! I’m not beach ready yet, but may just have to buy the suit & coverup you found!
I agree with you…love the color orange and I want to deck you! hahaha…just kidding…but I’m definitely not ready to be sporting a swimsuit. 🙂
Hey ladies!! I just found you through Colette’s Twitter Tuesday!! Your blog is fabulous and I look forward to going back to see what else you’ve been posting lately! Speaking of swimsuit season, I am a new blogger {style} and have added a segment featuring my other passion called “Be Fit | Live Well | Have Fun! Obviously that’s about fitness and healthy living. If you stop by you will see an ab workout tutorial from Sunday. This week I will be posting a couple more “how to’s” on ab workouts. Feel free to shoot me an email if there’s anything you’d like to see on that segment in coming weeks! I’m loving the striped cover up by the way! so cute
That Splendid coverup is adoooooorable! So cute. And the color of that J.Crew suit is to die for.

Oh, no! I am not ready! The stress of the move made me paste on some extra pounds even though I have been running… so yesterday I began Yoga again… Will need to remember to breath!!!
Have a fabulous day!
I want to win that vacation! (regardless of whether or not I’m swimsuit ready!)
It’s still too cold to think about swimsuits!! I wish it was warmer. I do love the orange one though!
That orange swimsuit is gorgeous! I found the perfect bikini the other day…sadly I won’t get any beach holiday this year though! (moving into a new house, just as exciting, but I will miss the beach)
Aaaah we are having another heat wave in Cape Town, so I am swimsuit ready all the time, lol,its the only thing to keep cool.
Happy Tuesday hun xxx
LOVE the orange suit….wish it was warm enough HERE to wear it, lol:)
All three picks are adorable! I think my fave has to be a sailoresque cover up!

Love that orange suit! I really need to invest in a new, stylish suit.

I LOVE the wedges, but I’m not loving the weather yet!! I’m hoping by Memorial Day I can take a dip!
That orange one-piece is the greatest! Love it…

I’m loving that bathing suit cover up, it’s too cute. I think bold stripes are just what I need for the beaches of southern spain this spring! And i’ve never been into espadrilles, but I’m considering a pair for my trip. they look so comfy!
SO not ready Kristin!! Good thing we get a few months extra up here to prepare!!
Yes, here in CA, it is also right around the corner… and no, I’m not ready(!), but the boot camp workouts are getting me there… much sooner into the season than usual! My session ends on Friday, which means, Goodbye boot camp, Hello Jillian.
(love those wedges… a friend of mine just bought a pair… slightly jealous =)
It’s adorable! You should do it…right now.
Well, you know I’ve been doing Yogalates. I’ve been going 3 times a week but I’m STILL not swimsuit ready. It was 85 yesterday so it definitely won’t be long! I did buy a really cute coverup this weekend.
You’re mocking me aren’t you?! LOL
i’m in seach of the perfect wedge espadrilles! i had (my) perfect pair, but the finally broke! they go with everything!

Urrgghhh… I dont know how I always seem to let myself fall out of the ‘swimsuit ready’ zone! I have been putting extra time in at the gym trying to expediate the whole process 😉
not ready for swim suit season at all!!!!!
haha Working on it!! Still on track since January only a few slip ups! But Being in Florida Also that Swim suit season is practically here! I am very much tho for the wedges!
I don’t think I could rock orange but I love the style of the suit and the striped sundress is gorg! I am so jealous of your nice temps, we’re in the 30s here today 🙁
I am definitely NOT ready but hopefully will be by May. I love all your choices, especially the cover up!
Umm, can I have the whole look please? Come on summer–I’m ready for you!!
Swimsuit season is going to be coming a lot quicker for me this year since we leave for vacation at the end of April. I need to get to the gym more than 2 days a week…LOL!
That suit from J. Crew would look mighty fine with the coverup from Splendid!
Good luck with the lovelies 🙂 I voted last week.
Haha! After baby number two I don’t think my body is swimsuit ready at all!
I’ve been thinking the same thing! Although it’s still pretty cold up here in NJ I just started getting my butt in gear to get swimsuit ready!
I have a swimsuit that is just like that!!!! Am I swimsuit ready?…Never. Hoping to be this year though! Love the espadrilles!
