Oh my gosh, I have been swooning over this swimsuit for the past month. SO pretty! My birthday is March 18th, so I would be thrilled to win! I am taking a vacation to California in July, for a fun vacation and a surf trip. I would love to wear this on the beach, and also try to surf in it! I think it's definitely possible. CI would totally look like a fashionable mermaid! ;) Thank you so much for the chance to win! I follow on Twitter (roomofmyown) and like on Facebook (Amber H).

This summer I will be mourning the loss of sunshine as I just moved to the south pacific and we are now entering winter here in the southern hemisphere! In true mermaid spirit, bikinis are one comfort of home that help with my homesickness and winning this bikini would mean the world to me! The fact that the bikini is made in the USA would mean even more to this expat living abroad!
To keep the sunshine dreams alive, I've planned a trip to Samoa, the 'Lotus land of the Pacific' - a group of small Polynesian islands surounded by nothing but the deep indigo blue of the Pacific Ocean. Wearing this bikini would be gorgeous in Samoa as the beautiful 100% silk fabric will gently ripple in the warm breeze while the prints of flower blossoms and asian lily catch the eye of fellow mermaids. The colours of the silk are ever present on this pacific island: the dove grey and silver of the morning sky before the sun rises, the deep, alluring teal blue of the ocean swelling in - just begging for a surf, and a hint of lavender, violet and fuschia - the colors of sweetly fragranced, luscious flowers that grow wild throughout the island.
Fa'afetai tele! (Thank you in Samoan)

I plan on going somewhere tropical that is also all inclusive. Wake up whenever you want, drink and eat as much as you want, lay by the pool and relax......

Every year I have troubles finding right swimsuit for me because my breasts don't fit in most swimsuit cuts. It takes approximately 10 shops and bunch of money to find the right one, but with this drop-dead gorgeous fashionable piece I am sure my problems would be solved. I don't have money for expensive vacations nor vintage swimwear and I am quite sure I won't be walking on bright beaches thousands of miles away from my home, but looking as a mermaid may do some spell on my dream guy(hopefully I will spend this summer with him) and in point of fact on everyone who would see me in such a wonderful work of art. You don't need beach while wearing this swimsuit. Mermaids can be anywhere!! :)
btw: Thank you very much for this opportunity! :)

First off, Thank you so much for the giveaway! I plan to take the first couple of weeks detoxing from teaching high school math all year! Planning, teaching and having fun all year takes a toll on me. Sleeping in is a must! No more waking up at 5am :) Next I hope to be a chaperone for our schools Australian Education Exchange! I will chaperone 8 students from our school and travel to the land down under! We will be presenting what it is like to live in American and of course experience the Australian culture! And in the times in between soak up the sun rays relaxing on the beaches of Laguna Beach! Thank you again!
