Such lovely warm sunshine today has lifted my spirits so much! And I’m in the mood for summery fun, what better way to get started than with a cute bikini and espadrilles (which despite Birkenstocks & ugly shoes owning this spring are having a real thing of their own right now…) A raffia bag is beach life through and through and I’m dreaming of that big time. I can’t wait for the chance to wear this neoprene bikini by Aussie brand Triangl – not only does it flat lay like a dream (trust me, most bikinis don’t!) but on it really holds you in nice and firm. What more do you need than some high SPF, white chocolate cream to keep those feet in good nick, a little organic self-tan to take the edge off and some relaxing tea for later? (These last three goodies from A Beautiful World’s spring sampler box which I snapped up nice and early for £20. Now sold out, do get on the list for the next one!).
