Someplace Else

I wasn’t going to write a blog this week.  Most people are hunkered down in one way or another, on vacation from routine.  It’s the slow dance before the New Year presents a slew of expectations.  But last night, a gale force snowstorm blasted the Northeast and this morning I found myself shoveling 12 inches of white powder off the steps of my house.  Beautiful as the woods appear coated with snow in the bright light of day, I have to say that I powered through the chore fantasizing about my upcoming jaunt in January to Mexico.  I am looking forward to sun, 80 degree temperatures, mangos and horse back riding on the beach in Cabo San Lucas.  Most of all, I am looking forward to living in a bathing suit, a welcome respite from the multi layers of clothing obligatory in a New York winter wardrobe.

When I saw this image of the Croisette Bandeau swimsuit from the iconic French brand, Rasurel, I was immediately reminded of the easy lifestyle perpetuated by a beach environment.  Sexy and sophisticated, it is draped with a soft, sensual mesh fabric that wraps the torso and flatters a woman’s natural curves.  This style (R10837) is engineered in a silky smooth fabric that provides a unique tummy control construction, a hallmark of the 80 year old Rasurel brand.  Part of a multifaceted collection of innovative swimwear designs, it is available in five sizes and three colors.   Go someplace else and escape.
