SwimSpot Review and Giveaway

Now that spring is here, I know many of you are looking for a new swimsuit! I have just the place for you!!

SwimSpot is an easy-to-navigate site that helps you browse through hundreds of different bathing suits. You have the option to shop via brand (Hurley, Luxe by Lisa Vogel, Guess); fit solution (Pear, Apple, Athletic); style (trendy monokini, one piece swimsuit, womens swimsuit coverup); size (swim DD cup, underwire support bikini top, plus sized one-piece swimsuit); solids/patterns (black triangle bikini, floral swimsuit separates, pattern bathing suits for women); and price (swimsuits on sale, inexpensive swimsuits, discount swim suits).

They are a very unique site because they have the Bikini Builder application. You as the shopper can mix and match - mismatch if you please - from hundreds of swimwear bikini tops and bottoms, modest swimsuit tankini tops, swimsuit boy shorts, and tons of other styles and designs. No other swimwear website in the world offers an application that makes it this easy to shop and build one-of-a-kind women's swimwear and swimwear separates bikinis.

One of my favorite brands on SwimSpot is the Reef Designer Swimwear. If you are looking for "Flirty" women's swimwear, then the Reef brand is for you! Their suits were affordable and super cute too! Reef womens swimwear is inspired by the Amazon and the world traveler's lifestyle. The 2011 Reef Collection features striking striped designs, sexy and flirty silhouettes, and styles of all types which makes for great shopping for womens swimwear separates and bathing suits on SwimSpot. Check out some of my favorite Reef swimsuits below!

My Opinion

There is nothing better to get yourself in the mood for summer and warm weather like buying a new swimsuit!

SwimSpot definitely has an awesome selection of suits and I spent way too much of my life on their site deciding on which ones to get! :)

There are just so many options for great suits, but the best part is how helpful they are on helping you decide! They have the Bikini Builder if you want to create your own suit. You can match different tops and bottoms and see what they look like on a model. It was very helpful for a visual learner like me!

And if you really need help deciding what looks best and what size to choose, they also have a very helpful Fit Specialist Program to help you figure out what suit and size you need. Via phone or email their Fit Specialists help guide you into the right style and fit based on your individual taste, preferences and body type. They'll work with you to select flawlessly-fitting  swimwear you’ll love!

However, my favorite feature of the whole site has go to be the "Free Shipping – Free Returns – Free Exchanges until they get it right" policy! I am a very indecisive person and I also often have troubles getting the right size on the first try, so this policy made me relax and just pick the suit I loved without worrying about having to pay to return it if it didn't fit or look right! When I did end up needing to return the suit I received, returning the suit was super easy and didn't cost me a penny!

I DEFINITELY recommend SwimSpot for all women on the hunt for that new cute and fun swimsuit for the summer! You will definitely love the selection, helpfulness, and free shipping, returns and exchanges policy! It will be the most relaxed you will ever be picking out a new swimsuit! :)
