Sponsored Post: Dive into the season’s sexiest swimwear!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Express for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Beach season is upon us, a fact that might fill you with mixed feelings of joy and dread - the joy that comes from sun, sand and surf, the dread that comes from shopping for a bathing suit! Luckily, Express takes the fear out of swimsuit shopping with their amazing selection of women's swimwear - new for spring!
I'm loving their fun prints, bright colors and glam embellishments. I'm partial to swimsuits that don't take themselves too seriously - something that will make me smile and accentuate my best features - like this neon ruffled bandeau top or this graphic string bikini top and bottom (shown above).
Another tip I use to get psyched for swim season? Think accessories! Sandals, tote bags, sunglasses, hats and sexy sarongs all make going to the beach a fashion adventure you'll want to dive into, and naturally, Express has you covered with all the essentials at totally affordable prices.

Ask BB: What to Wear to a Casual Spring Wedding
I've been invited to a casual Spring wedding, and need a cute new dress with accessories to wear. Any suggestions? —Katie
Casual or not, a wedding is still a primo opportunity to get dolled up. May I suggest something from the newly launched Matthew Williamson for IMPULSE collection, exclusively at Macy's?This day dress is casual yet the color is so striking ($69). Pair it with some platform sandals, as they've done for the catalog, and some striking jewelry like drop-stone earrings or a chunky bangle:

J. Crew's polka-dot "Drew" swimsuit is $80 at Net-A-Porter. A reasonable price for an adorable swimsuit with a chic retro vibe.
Need another option? This polka-dot print bandeau (with removable straps) by Merona is just $34.99 at Target.
