28 Jun SwimSpot One Piece Swimsuit for the Beach or Pool
I am not in the habit of telling ladies what they should or shouldn’t wear. I feel that women can wear what they love, if they feel confident and happy . Swimsuits should be no different. SwimSpot contacted me about showing you some of their summer pieces and I was happy to do so!
I have several bikinis but I also love a great one piece for a classy and stylish beach look.
The Ella Shirred Mallot
Heading to the pool or beach this summer? This Ella Shirred one piece will be going with me on vacation this Friday. We are going to be gone for a week, and I can’t wait. Need a change in atmosphere! Our family is renting a beach house and I have been thinking of what I will be packing.
This suit and coverup will be going with me!
Of course the color caught my eye straightaway, and I liked the one piece style with ruching. It is lined and is quite soft.
From the Swim Spot website-
“Flaunt your features in this sophisticated and flattering one-piece by Athena. A plunge neckline at the bust creates a flirty effect, while supporting you just enough. Shirring across the torso creates a slimming fit. A long standing best seller the Ella Shirred Maillot swimsuit will be the staple piece in your collection for this year and longer.”
Shirring across the torso conceals the midsection for a slimming fit.
Removable Soft cups support the bust
Chic adjustable shoulder straps create a flattering fit for different torso lengths
Moderate rear coverage
Built-in tummy control
Hand Wash Cold, Non-Chlorine bleach (if necessary), Air Dry – Do not iron or dry clean
85% Nylon, 15% Elastane
- Imported
The suit in this green is sold out, but is available in other colors. Cobalt Blue
Crochet Poncho Coverup
This beautiful white crochet poncho caught my eye instantly. With its beautiful crochet and lace, along with the pompom details at the trim, I knew it would make a great addition to my beach wear. It is substantial, made very well, and of course I love white in the summer. This coverup is one size fits all and hints at the swimsuit underneath.
If you missed my post on Body Positivity Over 50- Swimsuits, I wrote a few years ago, have a read.
Read more about Swim Spot here.
They are a Southern California family run company led and designed by women for women. I love that! They would know what we want in a swimsuit! 🙂
They have a variety of one piece, tankinis and bikinis.
Life Lately
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend going to lunch at one of our favorite places in the Lake Norman area, Port City Club, over looking the lake. I am one that could eat seafood every day, and enjoyed a delicious Chardonnay with mahi mahi tacos.
We also went to our Raptor center and I will share pictures on IG Stories of the many birds we saw. We did see the Barred owl, which is an owl we have here in our woods behind our house. He likes to recite Shakespeare! Get it? “The Bard owl”? No, but they make a sound that is described in rhythm, “Who Cooks for You” .( who-hoo-hoohoo)
We also went to a local Farmers market and picked out some delicious fruits and veggies, along with some honey walnut goat cheese. I am either going to make a goat cheese beet salad, or make grilled peaches with honey walnut goat cheese.
Are you a one piece kinda gal or do you prefer a two piece or tankini?
Outfit ** c/o I was gifted the swimsuit and coverup for this review. All opinions are truthful and honest.

Posted at 08:05h, 04 JulyJess, I LOVE this swimsuit! The color is so, so good! That would have been the first selling point for me, too. It looks amazing on you. And the white cover up is so cute, too!

Posted at 19:54h, 01 JulyBesides being the very best color in the world…GREEN…this suit has a lot of other characteristics that make it a winner. I like the shirring. And the idea of adjustable straps. It has just occurred to me, at 63 years of age, that I am short waisted or have become that way. Having adjustable straps would be genius. You surely do wear that color and that suit well. Legs for days!!

Posted at 20:58h, 01 JulyThank you Leslie, the color first caught my eye and so right I love the details that you have mentioned. Sometimes suits are tricky if you are either long or short waisted. Thank you for the lovely compliment!

Posted at 15:31h, 29 JuneThat lace cover up and your espadrilles are a beautiful combination!
I used to be a bikini person with short bottoms, but now I’ve become a one piece or tankini. In fact, I just ordered a new vintage inspired one piece. I can’t wait to finish a cardigan I’m working on, and head to the beach.

But those pups!! OMG. They are off-the-charts adorable. We need more Gibbie and Truffles. They’re precious.
A friend just got dx with ED. I’m going to tell her about your blog. 🙂

Posted at 17:31h, 28 JuneThank you Wendy! I just loved the look of this one piece and that it is a pretty green shade.
Aw, thank you! They are my little babies! They are spoiled but deserve it! 🙂
Do you know what type of EDS she has, there are 7. I have Hypermobility EDS ( or Type 3 which is more common, )
I’ll get them in on my stories when we are at the beach !

Posted at 09:08h, 28 JuneOh gosh I love watcing birds. We have a mom and dad Osprey in a nest right outside the back of our house. We have been watching them all spring as they rebuilt their nest and we are sure they have eggs now. Argh, so fasincating! This spring I have sighted a Bald Eagle, a Golden Eagle and beautiful Sand Hill Cranes. All majestic birds!
And I love your swim suit. I just ordered a one piece in the same color a week or so ago and am waiting for it to arrive. I am such a fan of your color choices. I love the white cover up with the green suit. So pretty.
Have a great week Jess!
Peace!
