Hapari Bikini

‘Tis the season to go swimsuit shopping. I myself have been planning a little spring vacation and knew that I needed a new swimsuit to start my vacation. I happen to live in an area that doesn’t truly have a great shopping variety, so I often find myself shopping online. I was very excited to receive my new swimsuit from Hapari.

About Hapari:

Distinctive and beautiful, Hapari swimwear is designed to enhance a woman’s natural beauty – no matter her shape. At Hapari, they believe that every woman will look and feel great while having fun in the sun! And that is why their swimwear is created from the finest fabrics and with body-shaping features to help you feel comfortable and confident.

Swimsuit Secrets: They know that not everyone has the time to maintain a perfect figure, which is why they create swimwear to enhance the curves that are loved and downplaying the parts that aren’t your favorite. Their S.O.S. line of tankini tops feature the same gorgeous prints as the other suits, but are built with an underwire directly into the suit to give you some added support where it is needed most.

Beginning: Hapari has come a long way since 2005 when they were founded by moms who took issue with traditional swimsuits. They thought that women shouldn’t have to choose between the perfect style and perfect fit. They decided to create a line of swimwear for real women that was fashionable as well as flattering. Though a lot has changed at Hapari since then, their commitment to providing stylish swimwear for all kinds of women hasn’t.

On the set of the TV show “The Middle” in my LUV shoes- and catching a flight in just a few hours, which made the on and off easy. Not a perfect match to the shirt, but what can you do in a pinch? Haha.

No, that wasn’t a typo- if you Luv shoes, you will love these.  LUV Footwear makes adorable, cute and comfy slip resistant shoes for girls and women.  Lightweight and easy to kick on and off, they are a favorite to wear not only out and about, but also to pilates classes, mat classes, and even stand up paddleboarding since they help keep you from slipping.  Sounds like they would be great in the rainy season as well. They are super cute as well, with lots of colors to choose from.

3 disneyI love shoes- I think that might not be a secret.  My husband is certainly aware.  For me, the shoes make or break the outfit, and I adore my latest pair from Born Shoes.  They are not only super cute, but so comfortable (I swear) you can wear them all day long without getting sore feet or a blister.  I have worn them 4 times since getting them a few weeks ago (it’s still winter weather here, but I have been on a few trips to warm-weather locations!)  and and not one time did my feet hurt afterward, and every time I wore them I got compliments.

Peter Som for Kohl’s – Fashion Inspired by Travel

Disclosure- This post about the new Peter Som line for Kohl’s is sponsored.  I participated in an Ambassador program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kohl’s. I received Kohl’s gift cards and sample pieces to facilitate my posts and as a thank you for participating.  All opinions are my own and honest.

With all the travel that I do, it’s always nice to have something fun, light, and breezy to wear.  The new Peter Som collection coming soon to Kohl’s stores and online is perfect for summer days and island lounging.

Peter Som designed a line of clothes for Kohl’s DesigNation inspired by St. Barth’s islands. I guess he likes to travel, too.

polyvoreThe middle outfit and the swatch to the left of it are Peter Som from New York Fashion week.  The other items are some pinks and peaches that I thought would match his collection, especially considering the pink trend of the season.

I received a few samples of the almost available in stores clothes.  They feel silky and soft to the touch, and I’m sure they would be fun to wear.

3 8 14 toys 010After having my son, I (much more quickly then I thought I would have) lost my style.  I went from having fun shopping and picking out my outfits, shoes, and accessories to just grabbing my track pants and t-shirts and going.  Dude- they are totally clean, what’s wrong with that?  Right?  Yeah, right.  Well, I don’t feel as good as I used to, for one.  This year, I am trying to get my body and my style back, and trying to look more like ME and less like…well, like a schlump.

3 8 14 toys 007I was asked to be a Kohl’s Fashion Ambassador-for the next 6 weeks, I will be bringing you weekly posts about Kohls, their new line of St. Berth’s inspired fashion from Peter Som, videos, and amazing giveaways for you as well.  We can learn to bring our sexy back together, and for less then you would think.  I am all about making one piece work in multiple ways, and making style easy.  I’m not an over-primper by any means, so this will be fun for me.
