New suits!!

I just got two new bikinis for our vacation. I always wait until summer to buy them from Venus. The clearance prices are great and the quality of the suits is excellent! Take a look! Now if I just had their bodies!!

I'm sure you can buy them. Or at least a couple parts of them.

Both cute suits for sure. I've got several of theirs myself. Maybe it's time I looked again. I mean, living here, it's not like I can have TOO many, is it?

Lands End suits are GREAT and so supportive. They are a bit on the "plain" side as far as designs go, but that's ok with me. For larger chests, halter suits offer the best support (I have a similar problem, though I don't have a "huge" chest).

No, you lucky thing, living where you do, you really can't have too many!

(Good thing Rick can't see all my currently tagged items- as I was explaining to Rob, if they are in my closet with tags, I just haven't had the right occasion- yet .)

I have too many bathing suits for sure, given that I rarely get to go to the beach here. But at these prices maybe I need to stock up - potential future shortages, right?.

I agree, Lands End make supportive suits...last time I looked at them though, they seemed pricey but maybe things are marked down now?

I have the same chest issue AND that's where I've gained weight recently-another reason for new suit-- from Venus, I've had luck with the underwire tops-will have to see if they are in clearance!

Did you end up buying one after our talk about them?


I have to agree...I LOVE my Land's End suits. I have two tankini's. What is great about them is that you can buy them by your cup size. Then you add underwire support, underwire and padded support, or no support at all.

Although I am not top heavy (sometimes it appears that I am), these suits are great and are enhancing (even if the styles are a little blah).

And like Vieve said, a bit more on the expensive side, but you can tell that the material is quality and they last and last.

I love the black and white one - link plese, how much? I want it, I need it, I must have it!



I get to go to a Target in less than 2 weeks, I am going on a 2 day shopping trip vacation to Great Falls, Montana.

We don't have Targets up here.

You can't imagine my excitement. It's barely restrained.

There is also a Victoria's Secret there. OMG.

Your link, madam:

Triangle Top, Tie Side Moderate Bottom Bikini

I love Target too. (Can't imagine living w/o it-and I should say I'm not that much of a big chain discount store shopper, but Target has so many cool extras. What I got on a recent trip: packable beach hat for $12, straw tote perfect size, onsale $9.99, shelland bead necklace I love $5.99. The other great thing about Target is they recycle more than other stores and have decent hiring practices!)

Thanks for the link, vieve! There is an international shipping charge to Canada of $28, so I guess I will keep looking. Great price though.

I haven't been to a Target since I was about 15, on my last Montana trip. I was looking at their suits there online, not bad, I will have to check the accessories out too!

Do Victoria's Secret stores have bathing suits or just underwear and pjs?

Well, I have the opposite problem that all you women have. Usually I can't fill out the tops!! And I'm too old to do anything artificial about it now!!

They do have all different types of tops if you look. You can search by top type!

Heather, if you find one you like I can order it for you and bring it down in a few weeks!

No, the VS stores don't carry the swimsuits (or any of the clothing), but I sure wish they did
