I am obsessed.  If I were going to plunk down some change for a new swimsuit this summer it would be for this one.  I’m usually a vintage one-piece only kinda girl, but I love most of the styles in this shop.  I even love this two-piece.

Oh, and I would also wear this.

Not surprisingly, this awesome macramé playground doesn’t exist anymore.  What a shame.
