If I could, I would live in a bikini. Sadly I live in London so that’s rarely possible, but I’ve always been drawn to hot climates and the tiny clothing that comes with them.
I blame my star sign (Sagittarius), which means I’m destined to be a naked child as apparently those born into the Winter sign tend to be fans of showing flesh. I easily have 20-30 bikinis, preferring to buy a new one for each holiday – then wearing a different one for each day sunbathing. I even bought a white bikini specifically for Santorini, in attempt to match my sunbathing attire with the surrounding buildings.
With a trip to the South of France booked for July, I did my rounds in search of a new friend to pack for the pool and found so many options that I thought I’d put together a guide for my blog. There are options for all budgets, ranging from £14 to £445. They’re also themed into four categories; Nude, Bright, Texture and Print. Take a look and tell me which one’s your favourite….
