My Swim Picks

April 19, 2020 · In: Fashion, Spring & Summer

If you’re like me, this quarantine has you thinking of brighter days. I could really go for an ice cold drink pool side right now… Anyone else? I’ve been taking some of this time in quarantine to prep my summer wardrobe, including new swimwear! Because who doesn’t need a new swimmie to lounge in their yard during quarantine? 😉

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite swim pieces & collections I’ve come across over the past few weeks. Many come in both a one piece AND two piece varieties – so be sure to read below the images!

Draper James x Lands End

If you haven’t done so already, do yourself a favor and go check out this collaboration! I NEED to snag myself one of these swimsuits ASAP. Not only do they feature some great Draper James patterns (hello magnolias & gingham!) but Lands End has great quality swimwear. And did I mention these are size inclusive? (They carry up to size 26W) There are SO MANY styles to choose from – including swim dresses, tankinis, one pieces, and even swim shorts. There truly is something for everyone! Lands End is currently running 40% off as well – so they’re really affordable!

J.Crew Factory

I recently ordered a swimsuit from J.Crew Factory and it is SO CUTE! I snagged this one pictured above, but they have so many great options. This one is available in a few different colors as well as in a one piece. I got a M in the top and bottom, and they fit me perfectly! (I am normally size 4 & a 34C for reference) The one downfall to these is that they do not have padding, but the ruffle covers that region perfectly and it doesn’t bother me at all. J.Crew Factory is also currently running a sale and all swim is under $40!

Lilly Pulitzer

I really have a love-hate relationship with Lilly swim. They are so pretty and the materials are great quality! However, the sizing is WAY OFF (like most swimwear is) & the colors do fade quickly in chlorine. That being said, I still love my Lilly swimsuits and this style is my favorite – it even has adjustable straps. Even in a more revealing piece like this (that isn’t my style normally) I feel completely secure and sucked in. Their prints this season are gorgeous and would look so great on the beach & by the pool this summer. They’re also having a gift with purchase right now!

I hope y’all enjoyed this little post! I am so ready to enjoy some summer weather once it arrives, Orlando has been SUPER rainy the past few days. I always love sharing my finds with y’all, and I hope you do too!

Cheers!

xoxo
Jayme

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫

(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
