Summer is here! Well, basically. Even though the season won't officially change until June 20, the weather--and our work ethic--is telling us that summer is already well underway. And we couldn't be happier. Obviously, the first order of business whenever summer rolls around, is making sure you have your new favorite go-to swimsuit on hand.
