Bikinis

Even though they are the most necessary, bikinis are some of the hardest things to shop for. One thing that really annoys me when shopping for bikinis is if the top and bottoms are attached. Who has a matching size top and bottom? It is important to make sure you get the right size bikini otherwise you may be in the uncomfortable situation when it falls down after jumping in the pool!

Here are some links to some gorgeous bikinis and beach accessories:

1) This is a gorgeous bandeau bikini from H&M. It's £12.99 for the top and £7.99 for the bottoms so it's not expensive. It's handy because the top means no tan lines and it's also got a really cool zip on the top.

2) This really pretty little number is from New Look. I love Kelly Brook's collection for New Look and this is one of my favourite bikinis. The top is measured in bra sizes and therefore super flattering and handy for those with bigger busts. The top is €19.99  and the bottoms are €13.99 making it a bit of an expensive bikini.

3) I love this vibrant Fat Face bikini. It's so colourful and would look gorgeous with a tan! The top is £22 and the bottoms are £18. Fat Face also has some lovely board shorts, the link for my favourite pair is below.

4) I also love this retro Topshop number. It's got underwiring so it's very flattering and I absolutely love the colour and scallop detail! The top is £18 and the bottoms are £12.
