Celebrity Beach Bodies & Summertime Blues



I am seriously dying for the springtime air to swoop in on me and replace this long cold bitter chicago winter. So much in fact that I found myself googling such things like "caribbean islands" and "bathing suit trends for 2009" this morning when I woke up to find nothing but rain and blustery wind outside my bedroom window. I've been in a bit of a funk feeling much less inspired than usual these days and I knew some much needed time for daydreaming of summertime swimsuits was just what the doctor ordered. I simply CAN NOT wait until the day I can throw on some flip flops and a cover up, walk myself to the beach and lie carelessly with my toes in the sand soaking up the rays. I miss those days, the lazy days. Summer night adventures, bonfires, fireworks, festivals..LOLLAPALOOZA! All of it. I'm in dire need of a weekend vacation if winter decides to run it's course another two months. I'm not exactly sure I can hold out for that long. In the meantime I suppose I'll order my victoria secret swimsuits online and wait rather impatiently for their arrival. At least when the package does come in I can try them on and lay in the middle of my carpeted living room floor pretending that my ceiling fan is the sweet warm wind and the lightbulbs are my imaginary sun. I'm debating which one(s) I'll purchase this year but to completely honest I usually end up buying anywhere between 2-4 bathing suits a year anyways so I might as well save myself the trouble and get them all.  I especially love the pink embellished one piece, that's a definite must have and the mint green two piece is very different from any other suit that I own so that's a winner as well.  If anything I might skip the black one. I already own two black ones and although the style is  pretty different than mine I have to think realistically.  It's not like these are cheap!  I guess I've just made up my mind then haven't I?  How about some advice, I could really use it ;)

Oh yes, and I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  I apologize for the lack of posting & neglect this week.  I will be visiting blogs and commenting tomorrow! XOXO
