This Wildly Popular Fashion Blogger Just Released A Swimwear Line

by Kristi Mikesky

While we might be aching for true fall weather (Los Angeles is feeling those Indian summer vibes—hard), we’re still easily distracted by the promise of impending holiday vacations to tropical locales. Always keen to get a jumpstart on our jet-set wardrobes, we’re adding popular fashion blogger Shea Marie’s latest venture, Same Swim, to our packing list. Handmade in LA, Shea’s foray into beachwear is an overt representation of her California roots, fusing fashion-forward details and luxe fabrication with a true sense of wearability. Here, we tapped Shea to share her 3 faves from the lineup (plus how to wear them)—happy shopping, beach babes.

The Catch Top & The Everything Bottom

"This combo in the Noir/Blanc color is my favorite suit from the collection. I wanted to create something chic and fashion-forward but also wearable. It's made of an amazing new fabric out of Italy and the stitching is all done by hand. I'm particularly obsessed with the bandeau version and because I'm a black and white girl this is my definition of the perfect suit. It's effortlessly chic for the most fashionable beach-goer."

The It Girl Halter & The Tease Bottoms

"The halter top is amazing because it doubles as a crop top. I wear mine with jean shorts, a cool vintage belt and espadrilles out and about on vacation—or under one of our tees."

The Catch Top & The Everything Bottom

"This color combo is insane! I went through so many colors, tests and trials to get this right. It stands out from the crowd and is one of those suits where everyone on the beach is going to stop and ask where you got it."
