Have you seen Mara Hoffman’s Resort Swim 2010 Collection? These suits are ruthless enough to give the strongest lifeguard a heart attack. Shoot, they even made me a little green with envy.
 
Ready to peel off the layers?  Me? Ummm…no, well not yet anyway…

Her original prints are infused with worldly influences, nature, and fantasy.

 

I wonder if these suits come with a personal trainer? Hey maybe I can pitch the idea to her…

Oh and don’t forget the perfect pair of sandals. High heels make your legs look like they go on for miles.

WARNING: This suit is not to be worn alone or while accompanying small children without backup assistance. I would die if one of those strings snapped while chasing one of my kids.

Again, are you ready for this year’s hottest swimwear collection? If not, there’s still time. Start this weekend…hope I haven’t ruined your Friday.

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
