blue crush

When it comes to swimsuits I'm all about sporting a two-piece, but when I'm feeling slightly self-conscious about my body -- which has been happening a lot lately -- I tend to gravitate toward one-piece suits.  They're best for covering up, and it's especially nice when they come in the form of breathable sheer lace. During a recent trip to Coney Island, we made a pitstop to explore the beach scene before combing the pier for the usual fun and games.  These Lisa Blue suits were my go-to for the quick trip, giving proper cover-up while serving as a two-piece at times when I wanted to give myself a more even tan.  I discovered these suits during this collaboration, and jumped on the opportunity to support the brand not only because of their unique suits but also because of their involvement with whale and dolphin conservation.  The brand donates 25% of its profits toward protecting whales and dolphins, and there's nothing quite like the marriage of fashion and a good cause.
