Last night when I should have been writing the post for today I was staying up late, browsing the internet for bathing suits while catching up on episodes of The Following. That show is soooo good, but fair warning it’s not for the squeamish. Don’t do what I did and watch it in the dark, by yourself, until midnight. Trust me it’s not a good idea.

A decidedly less squeamish topic (depending on how you look at it ) are the swim collections for 2013. In between closing my eyes and trying not to look at the television screen I found some really great suits. Apparently high waist retro styles are in big time this season as are a lot of great one pieces and bikini’s. We live on a lake (duh) and also have a pool so swimwear is definitely one of the main staples of my summer wardrobe.

Here are some of my favorites that I’m dying to pick up.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

I really love number 1, 5 and 6. Any favorites?
