Holiday Style Guide: An Edit Of Places To Shop

It used to be really hard to find beachwear out of season, I remember having to either wait until I got to the destination or else make do with a very limited selection (like two designs) from the high street.  Now most designer and high street stores have their own online holiday shops which we can access whatever the weather. It’s always sunny in some part of the world meaning that beachwear is no

Surf Mama Inspired – To Dive For Swimwear

  If, like me, you are a lover of the ocean, then you will also love the cool but sporty UK designer swimwear brand I’ve found called To Dive For.  When I lived in Australia I was really into surfing and the whole surf culture.  My swimwear wardrobe was full of  little surf pants, boardshorts (tiny and hardly worth wearing but nevertheless…) and amazing quality bikinis.  So when I discovered To Dive For,

They are an investment and when you are having a fat

The Bikini I Bought – Eberjey At Heidi Klein

When I decided to include fashion in my blog, I forgot that I might have to do a bit of ‘modelling’.  The fact that I have also chosen one of the most revealing genres of fashion also cracks me up no end – I should have done this when I was twenty one…not nearing forty and post pregnancy.  Then again,  like I’ve said before, we should be proud of our bodies
