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!

Vegas Fashion Stylist says
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

Just liked you! Love the color of that bathing suit. And espadrilles are a weakness for me too!

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.

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

Nadette@Eat, Read, Rant! says
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!
Stephanie says
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.

Perpetually Engaged says
It’s adorable! You should do it…right now.
Traci B says

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.
