Another post from our backyard… when the weather’s nice we practically live out here. The kids have been loving playing in the inflatable pool and water table. A few weeks ago I realized Wilder didn’t have a swimsuit that fit currently so I went to order some. I had no idea how hard it would be to find cute swimsuits for little boys! I’m able to find Crosby cute swimsuits basically anywhere so this is a new challenge. I’ve done a deep dive on in the internet and finally found some cute options.

outfit details –

on me: saha swimsuit (two years old, this one is similar), similar hat, sunglasses

on Crosby: zara swimsuit

on Wilder: zara swimsuit (sold out, this one is similar)

Ok let’s talk baby/toddler boy swimwear. The first few places I checked had really ugly options. Lots of baggy trunks that aren’t cute and would most likely weigh anyone down in the water. I had to think a little outside the box. Here are the places I’ve had the best luck:

Zara – there’s a few really cute options here. I ordered Wilder’s in a 6-12 month
(it’s completely sold out now) and when it came I didn’t think it would fit… they are very stretchy. It fits but I went ahead and ordered it in the size up and also grabbed him this pair.

Janie and Jack – some really cute options here. I love this one, this one, this one and this one.

Show Me Your Mumu – this pair is to die for. It even comes in matching prints for mom and baby girls.

Cotton On Kids – I ordered these for Wilder and love them, but I do want to mention they run big. I got Wilder a 6-12 and there’s a little extra room in the waist and they’re a bit baggier than I would have liked. I still think they’re cute and they come in a few other colors/prints too.

Monica and Andy – my friend Kim sent a photo of her son in these trunks and I knew I needed them. They’re sold out in smaller sizes but Wilder will be rocking them next summer.

Minnow – I’ve been a longtime fan of this brand for Crosby and think they suits for little boys are darling.

Hope you have a great day – thank you so much for reading and following!

When we were in Palm Springs I didn’t wear makeup or do my hair once. It was so nice. We took these pictures after a full day outside. I threw on my friend Ashley’s hat to cover my wet (from the pool) hair. This bikini is probably my new favorite. First of all the color is amazing, it’s a bright/deep fuchsia that is perfect for summer. I also love the smocked off the shoulder top. It’s so different from most of my bikini tops.

I feel like now more than ever anything goes with swimwear. I used to be mostly a triangle bikini top girl, but now there’s a lot more variety in my suits. The off the shoulder part of the top might seem weird, but you can tuck those into the top if you want to wear it more like a bandeau. It also has a lace up back which can be worn in the front too!

We mostly kept Crosby in the shade and she always had a hat on. I was a little worried she wouldn’t keep one on… we’re going through a “nothing-on-the-head” phase, but she didn’t mind. The chin strap definitely helped with that.

I bought her this mini rainbow pool float to match ours, but she really didn’t care for it. We had a float like this for her too that we finally got her to go in. It took a lot of effort but once she was in she would tolerate it for about 15 minutes. Success. We’re heading out of town again this weekend and will be brining it along again.

When there’s a heatwave in the summer, the only place I want to be is in a body of water. Or next to one with an ice cold glass of rosé (side note, has anyone tried frozé yet??). Or even better yet, combine the two and hop on a floatie.
