Singer Beyonce in an one piece long sleeve swimsuit

Not that long Beyonce while in Hawaii with her family rocked a CM Cia Maritima tropical cut-out swimsuit. Usually with many celebrities less is more when it comes to dressing for the beach. However, what Bey did was to shine the light on less sensationalized swimsuit, one that has long sleeves. It's a rarity to see someone lounging at the beach with anything that has long sleeves, but i digress. If you want to do it up like Bey, I rounded up some fabulous long sleeves swimsuit choices below. Lemonade not included.

H&M Swim Preview

H&M is by far one of my favorite retailer, so I was super excited to go to their showroom to see what they have in store for their swim collection. I was even more super excited to find out that they have selected styles of swim suits for just $4.95. Yes you read that right, $4.95! Those chic swim suits and other inexpensive swim gear such as cover ups and shoes are retailing below $12.95. This a such a major score for the next coming weeks, if you guys want to hit the beach (or pool) go to your local H&M store to grab some of H&M swim goodies.
