Since having a child, I’ve had to be more intentional with my clothing spend. Our nanny is our biggest expense and we’ve had to cut back on extras to keep the convenience and ease of one-on-one childcare going. Luckily, these cost cutting efforts have had one unexpected benefit, I have far fewer regrets about purchases I’ve made. And one of last year’s purchases brings me so much joy, that I can’t stop telling people about it.

This Andie Malibu Swimsuit is a must for summer. It’s flattering, sexy in a subtle way, and was one of the few things I bought in 2024 that actually made me feel good about my body. I’m still shocked that swimsuit could do that, since most swimsuits do the opposite.
As we approach Spring Break, now is the time to buy. This suit sells out so quickly, and the restocks come, but slowly. I have this in red and hot pink (a discontinued colorway). It also looks great with shorts. I loved this Andie suit so much that I bought their Tulum suit in the saffron color for summer.
As for sizing, the tool they use to help you find your size works well. It put me in a Medium, which fits nicely. I found that as a person who is mostly torso, I am more comfortable in the longer length.

I bought one of these last year on your recommendation, and I love it! At 6′ tall it’s tough to find one pieces that fit, and it’s perfect. I wore it on vacation with my husband, but it will also be my pick for toddler swim lessons when we pick up again this summer.
I bought this a few months ago for baby swim lessons and it’s been great, thank you! A little more side boob than I expected but at least the baby hasn’t figured out how to pull that down (yet).
Thanks for all you do!
I bought this suit on your recommendation and it does not disappoint!!
Separately – could you PLEASE do a post (or series) on how to style outfits? I feel like I put on clothes but then it doesn’t feel like an outfit. It’s like tucking/scrunching/belting/jewelry is another language and the difference between me and someone who looks like they know what they’re doing. Please and thank you!
You recommended some Spanx white shorts a year or two ago. I need to rebuy in another size and also some pants. Could you post a link please? Thank you!
Have any of you bought the amazon dupe (made by baleaf) of the malibu bathing suit? And if so do you have feedback on the quality, how it held up over the course of a pool season, etc.? My size has been fluctuating a lot lately so I’m reluctant to spend a lot on a bathing suit but this style is extremely tempting.
