I am totally a summer girl. I absolutely love warm weather, sun, and the beach. Typically when I go to the beach, I’m not worrying about the functionality of a swimsuit. I do on some adventurous occasions, but this trip was different. I was in Florida visiting my best friend and her daughter for her 6th birthday! I never miss a birthday and we always have a blast.
I knew I’d want to play on the beach with Linnea, so I’d definitely need a bathing suit that made me feel secure. We were also planning on having a big outdoor birthday party, complete with water guns, water balloons, and tons of kids. Definitely needed something that kept everything in place for all that action! Enter Athleta. Did you know they also make swimwear?! So perfect for any beach adventure. In fact, I’m heading to the Azores in a couple months and will definitely be bringing this suit along!
Usually when you think of functional swimwear, it’s suits that are not only kind of…ugly…but also they just cover up too much and are too tight. This one is perfect! How cute is the back of the top?! And of course, anything pink always wins in my book. I went ahead and got a coverup from Athleta too. A little warning: I’m wearing an XXS here, so I would say that it runs big for sure. I decided to belt it and glam up the look with accessories. Hey, I might be running around, but I can still look good doing it, right?!

Your beachwear is absolutely stunning and I’m sure it will work equally well (if not even better) in the Azores as it did in Florida. And aren’t you a sweetie never missing a birthday. I hope both you and Linnea had a lovely time! 🙂
