Triangl Part Two

I got a second Triangl suit right before leaving for Vegas earlier in 2014. This time around I wanted to go for a different style so I got the Twiggy Stardust. The fact that it almost looks like leather (black leather is my fave) made it an easy choice for me.

At first I thought I would just get the same sizes that I got when I ordered the Chloe style (I chose large for both the top and bottom based on the size charts on Triangl's site) but after speaking to a rep on the live chat, I chose to go with a medium top and a large bottom. After receiving my suit, I think I could have easily gone with a small top and medium bottoms. The top is still a bit big for my small boobs (34B) and the bottoms for this style seem to run a bit bigger and have more coverage than the other pair that I have and don't even sit right against my body in all spots. Looking back, I probably could have sized down when I ordered the Chloe style as well. I found that the bottoms felt a bit loose as I was playing around in the waves of Mexico (for reference, I am usually about a US 6 in bottoms).

Since this one doesn't fit all that well I find that I don't wear it much. I think I will get the straps on the top shortened so that it fits better and hopefully I will get a bit more use out of it. Overall, I think I like the top of the Twiggy Stardust and the bottoms of the Chloe Minnesota Marl the best. The bottoms just seem to fit better and the bralette style top is more flattering on my chest.

I'm not sure if I will end up getting another Triangl suit. I tend to reach for other brands when choosing a bikini lately but if I do choose to get one it will likely be one of the two above (Tilly Sunburst on the left and Penny Wanderlust on the right). I know people who have both of these and they are pretty cute in real life. I'm not a huge fan of super bright colours so most of the new ones don't interest me all that much.

PS, I'm always looking for different brands for cute bathing suits so if anybody has any recommendations please let me know! :)

Trying This Again...

So apparently I suck at having a blog. I started this blog almost a year and a half ago with the intention that I would post regularly and that has not happened. Like at all. But here I am on Christmas Day, sitting in the guest room at my parent's house, bored out of my mind (my family's festivities are usually focused more on Christmas Eve), thinking maybe I should start back up.

          Highly filtered picture of my mini (it's only 4 feet tall) Christmas tree that I put up in my place. Please ignore the ugly bent up blinds.

Lately my whole life just seems to revolve around traveling. My Christmas list was filled with things I wanted for upcoming trips. I spend most of my free time researching travel destinations. As I'm sitting here writing this, my family members are even packing their suitcases for a trip to Arizona without me (I have to go back to work in two days so I am not able to go to the States with them. Got to say I'm a little bit jealous but I know that I need to make money so that I'm able to pay for my upcoming trips).

So on that note, with so much travel on my mind, I am going to try this whole blog thing again. I've gone a few different places within the last year and a half and have a whole lot more planned for the coming few months so hopefully this time I'll actually stick to it and can honestly say that there is more posting to come!
