Covering Up

Oh my, I couldn't be more excited.

I just ordered this sexy modest swimsuit. I can't wait to see how it fits!


I haven't bought a new swimsuit in two years (perhaps longer?) and so my plan for this year was to splurge for a new one, and dedicate my search to modesty. I used to be a big advocate of teeny-bikinis (better tanning!), but as I am no longer in avid pursuit of skin cancer, and am no longer in a stage of my life in which I want to wear a couple of triangles on a string, I have been looking out for more modest options.

Initially, I was hoping to buy something by Jessica Rey–the white power ranger from TV!– purely because I would love to support the messages she promotes about modesty and chastity. She based her whole line on Audrey Hepburn movie characters... very cute. However, In the end I couldn't get as excited about at tankini as a one-piece. My 18 year old self would laugh and laugh...

In any case, here's a link to her line: Jessica Rey: Who says it has to be itsy bitsy?

And here's a link to the store I bought my suit from, which Gabrielle tipped me off about: Down East Basics

been MIA again!

sorry about that-- the culmination of the trip to san francisco, and then a visit to chicago from a dear friend this last week has meant non-stop action lately. i have lots to say, and i will be sure to compensate for my absence with tons of posts this week.

on another note, i just finished bawling over this beautiful song by Flipsyde's "The Piper". I am not usually a rap fan, but this is a very unique song, and a very honorable move on his part. I bought the single because he deserves that support.





(thanks to american papist for pointing it out.)
