The Tuxedo Swimsuit

I should start by saying that swimsuits for me are like what purses and shoes are for most women. Shoes come a close 2nd - but it is swimsuits that I have an almost impossible time resisting to buy. I am in LOVE with all 20 bikinis I own and when I go on vacation I rarely bring less than 5.....even if it is a 2 night stay.

For some time now, I have been wanting to find an exceptional one piece swimsuit. I have found many that come close, but none that I would choose to buy over the bikinis placed next to them in the store. Then I saw this little number and everything changed.

In my opinion, this is the BEST one piece swimsuit of ALL TIME. I saw it about a month ago in my Victoria's Secret catalog. It was $140 and so I resisted the urge to buy it immediately. I had somewhat forgotten about it until I was reading my friend Kari's blog about one piece swimsuits and decided to email her the link. And that is when my world crashed....it was SOLD OUT! In one single month it was gone! I quickly Googled it to find if there had been some sort of error or if it was only sold via the catalog. No such luck...it was gone.

So, now I will check Victoria's Secret every other day to see if it comes back. And I really hope it will.

What is the "It List" Anyway?

I'm not sure who else loves to study magazines. And I'm not just talking about reading the articles or beauty tips, although those are incredible. I mean really devour the entire magazine - every single page. Especially the advertisements. I find myself able to spend hours with one magazine going through it again and again. I memorize all the beauty/decorating/etc tips, study how a model poses in an ad, meticulously scrutinize the fashion and rip out all the pages I love and insert them into a organized binder.

The same has been true for when I see something online that I am wowed by. It can be as small as a new hairstyle, a different nail polish color or a cute outfit I would have never thought to put together. I can't help but save the picture to my computer and start looking for more ideas.

I have also been known to spend countless hours looking at random photographers websites. Especially wedding photography. For some reason I just LOVE looking at those photographer's amazing artistic shots.

Another obsession is music. As cheesy as it sounds, I think that music has an incredible power. It can set a mood, ease someone's physical pain, get you pumped, make you cry, or really evoke any feeling. Everyday I have music playing at work, in the car, at home - almost constantly.

So as I found myself daily inspired, from so many different things, I decided I needed to blog about it. This blog will simply be the things I see on a daily basis that blow my mind, inspire me and simply put - that I love.
