Pretty!

You can't really see the pretty print or bright colours from this tiny picture but with a tan and some winged 50's style sunglasses I can definitely see myself in this.

I bought a cheaper version of these for a few euros in a shop in Italy and they melted in the sun! So when I got back I got the real deal and so far these have lasted me. I usually go for a classic 'Ray-ban' shape but it's good to switch it up every now and again.

Or perhaps this little number? I'm feeling prints this Summer as I always go for black because it makes you look more tanned, goes with everything, can double as a bra meaning you can go straight from beach to bar and you can mix and match it with a printed top or bottoms. This year I'm determined not to get black!

And then there's the obligatory denim shorts. Me and shorts don't usually get on, I've always been more of a denim skirt kind of girl. I have one 'River Island' pair I got a size too big when I was a teenager, they're light blue denim with rips all over and a frayed edge but they cover my bum which is pretty necessary and because they're too big I can get them on and off without having to unbutton them. They have served me well but I'm thinking a pair of denim shorts shouldn't still be being worn ten years after they were bought and now it's time for an update.
- If like me you're more of an apple shape (bigger bottom half than top half) do not go for strapless bandeau tops as they will make your chest look practicly invisible. However, if like me you've fully accepted you have a small chest and you won't be sharing bras with Pamela Anderson anytime soon and don't care either way then go right ahead :)
- If you'd like to enhance what God forgot to give you though then try 'Debenhams' for their gel enhanced bikini halter tops and you'll never look back.
- 'Floozy' by 'Frost French' created by Sadie Frost do really cute 50's style balcony bikini tops that work wonders if you want a lift.
- Keep an eye out for anything with a print or ruffles which creates the illusion of volume.
- Don't go for halter necks with structured cups if they're not padded as there will be a gap when you bend down (so annoying).
- Bottoms wise go for anything with a hoop at one side or that can be tied so you don't get a muffin top if the elastic is too tight. I try to stay away from tie sides if I haven't done enough squats and lunges over the Summer as they're not structured enough for bigger bums.
- Go for something you feel amazing in and sets your tan off nicely, forget the rules, enjoy your holiday!
Come onnnn Summer!
