  2. OOOH a giveaway.. and I was just telling my husband that i NEEDED a new swimsuit!

  4. I so need a swimsuit!!

    I love the Ibiza Swim top! I think it would be awesome with my soft center!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I adore the Monace suit in coral :]

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yeah! I once owned the St. Tropez in turquoise, and loved it. But, it was stolen out of my car last summer. I'd love to try the Monaco in turquoise.... fingers crossed! Thanks so much.

    ReplyDelete
  7. The striped Cannes in coral would be flattering on me. The diagonal stripes in the tummy area are just what this mommy needs. Plus the top looks like it would best support a larger bust, again right up my alley. I would love to win this! I have been eyeing these suits for the last few weeks!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'd love the Ibiza Swim top! The v-neck would attract attention to my face and away from my pear shaped hips, while the empire waist would flatter my slim waist. I'd pair it with the Slimmer Swim bottoms, which would help minimize my hips.

    ReplyDelete
  9. The Ibiza print top in abstract stripe, paired with the swim skirt in solid black, should help balance out my pearish shape.

    ReplyDelete
  10. The Ibiza swim top and Slimmer Swim bottoms in fuchsia.
    The wide V of the top is flattering on a lesser endowed top and balances out my lower half. The slimmer bottoms help out too. And the fuchsia color makes you look tanner, and a (fake) tan hides a multitude of sins.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I think the Riviera swim top in violet and the swim skirt in violet would be great for me. I'd love a new swimsuit!

    ReplyDelete
  12. My favorite is the turquoise Monoco. I think it'd fit my figure the best, and I love the color!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think the Cannes swim top would flatter me. The straps would frame my shoulders and the diagonal stripes would distract from my less-than-stellar tummy.

    ReplyDelete

  30. Also, right now I'm leaning towards the plaid riviera swim top paired with the swim skirt in violet. Such a beautiful and unique patter for a swimsuit!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I love the Riviera top with the violet swim skirt bottom. It would help my pear figure look a little less pear-ish.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The plaid riviera would get my vote--it covers the best, and the darts and ruffle would be great for this small-chested gal!

    ReplyDelete
  33. The striped Cannes swim top would be best for me to detract from my belly (thanks to my 8 kiddos!) because of the diagonal stripes and the empire seam. The swim skirt would also be best to provide coverage for my hips and thighs.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hmmm, I'm torn between St. Tropez in turquoise and the Ibiza top in Hibiscus! I love the large graphic print. I think either one would work well with my smaller top half. :)

    ReplyDelete
  59. i'm smaller chested (when i'm not nursing), so i think one with embellishment there might help...like the st. tropez printed.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love shade and all of their new swimsuits this season!
    The St. Tropez top is to die for. I would love to win this giveaway :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. The Monaco swim top because I am small on top and the skirt because since my babies I am shy about my legs (the upper part especially!). And all in turquoise :)!

    ReplyDelete
  62. The Riviera would suit my smaller bust. Ruffles are like a good piece of jewelery!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Since I have a lower figure, I would choose the Riviera Swim Top and the Slimmer Swim Bottom (plus who doesn't love ruffles?). The Print Ibiza Swim Top would be another good option and I love the colors on it!

    :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. I think I like the Cannes top in black. Pick me!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Maybe I'm cheating because I already tried on the Ibiza at the store and liked it, but needed the larger size and was just too lazy to go through the whole trying-on thing again. Maybe it's because I was destined to win it here so that's why I didn't buy it?!?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  98. I love the ruffles on the Riviera Swim Top!!

    ReplyDelete
  99. I like the side shirring on the ibeza swim top--it might cover my "mummy tummmy" in a more flattering way., I also like the waist bands on the bottoms--no more muffin tops please!

    ReplyDelete
  100. My heart sings every time I see the St. Tropez print tops -- I love them SO much :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  104. I do believe the Monaco in coral just might make this post baby bod look better this summer!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  106. Ooo I love the Cannes Print. It's not too revealing but doesn't loose any pretty by being conservative.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  111. Yes, please!

    I'd pair the Cannes Print Swim Top (White, Turquoise, and Green)with the Turqouise Swim Skirt with Bottoms

    ReplyDelete
  112. St. Tropez top + swim skirt

    The top would, hopefully, give me a little illusion of volume up top, and the skirt would cover the host of issues with my bottom portions.

    ReplyDelete
  113. The Monaco swim top in turquoise is just what the doctor ordered! Really hope I win!

    ReplyDelete

  121. What a choice! I can't pick just one, they are all super stylish! I guess the Monaco top with the matching slimmer swim bottom would be perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  122. I think the Cannes swim top would work best with my upper half and the Swim Skirt would cover my pear-shaped bottom. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  123. Lets start with the Ibiza swim top with the "empire seam below bust for extra support" after feeding babies I think that would help and I love the built in shelf bra, that is just what the "girls" need a little shelf to prop up on and look pretty! I would pair it with a Swim Skirt and bottom to help out the hip and thigh area. Oh yes indeed pool ready I would be.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I think the Cannes or ibiza would look best on me

    ReplyDelete
  125. I think the Monaco in coral is adorable with a slightly vintage look. Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I'm loving the Riviera swimtop! the thick straps are great for my big bust and the ruffles are a great distraction from my not so slim thighs. The tankini is great cause it covers my, eh em, baby marks :-D.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  144. I heart the Riviera!!!

    I have a body that is a cross between athletic & hourglass, and I have a high waist. I'm also muscular.

    I like how this top would show off one of my best features -- my collar bones, and the top of my chest. It also has feminine detailing, that would counter-act my squareness/muscular/athletic-looking self (boxy, as my sis says.)

    <3

    ReplyDelete
  145. I would get the plaid monaco swim top, and the swim skirt, because I am begger busted, and I think it would have ample coverage, yet be flattering.

    ReplyDelete
  146. I love the look of the St. Tropez top, but wondering if the Cannes top might work better for this nursing mom of 4!? Good thing they have experts you can discuss it with! :)

    ReplyDelete
  147. Oh the Monaco swimtop is JUST what I need. The added strap will give help when I'm in public, but I could slip it off in private for tan line help! I love this company!

    ReplyDelete
  167. I love the Monaco and would pair it with a skirt.

    ReplyDelete
  168. The striped Cannes with skirt - that would be the best on my body, i am sure of it! With my rectangular shape the stripes would keep eyes mocving, giving the illusion of more curves... right?
    Thanks for the chance, i am in desperate need of a new suit!!!

    ReplyDelete
  169. I think the St. Tropez palm fronds print top would flatter my figure - alluding to more bust than I have. The bold colors are great for my fair, fair skin. I like the busy print that won't look like the suit is clung to my bellybutton.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I do like the turquoise monaco top, but I love the Ibiza swim top for the flattering shirring on the sides. Very classy.

    ReplyDelete
  171. I'd take the swimskirt with the bottom.

    Great giveaway!

    I'm tweeting it too.

  172. It's funny that your post was about this. I almost ordered the St. Tropaz swim suit in Turquoise this morning. When I realized that I missed the %20 off sale, I decided to wait a little longer. I am a linear figure according to your calculation hints. (thanks for writing about that, it has made shopping for my body type easier.) I hope that is a good suit for my body type. Mail order can be tricky.
    I spend a lot of time in a bathing suit living in FL. Finding cute, modest suits can be hard. I am so glad companies like Shade have made it easier.
    BTW, Coco is absolutely adorable in her suit!
