No holiday booked but why not!

A few years ago I had a girly holiday in a somewhat HOT country, and I didn't tan a single inch of my body. So I came to the conclusion that my body has decided that since I've faked it I can carry on. Turning a negative into a positive I thought YES now I can wear all those amazing shaped and detailed swimsuits/bikinis that would leave you with stupid tan lines! Thank you....

Here are a few ranging in price I like, from high street to designer....I'm off to the travel agents!

H&M Swimsuit £12.99 - black is simple and can be matched with any day bits to go from pool to niche market!!! And think of that heat on your body, black attracts!

H&M Bikini £24.99- Screams old hollywood in shape, with an almost dated palm tree graphic...this would look A-mezing on a big bottom! wink wink...
Available at - H&M

H&M String Bikini £20.98- How amazing...LOVE it beyond words!Why do you always love what wouldn't suit you...or is that just me? Big boobs and tube tops are a warning area for me...maybe I'll just try it on and hope!
Available at - H&M

River Island Black Macrame Swimsuit £30.00 - Love the detail on this but think it needds a teeny tiny waist to keep you looking womanly...probably a tryer-onner in all truth!
Available at - River Island

River Island Bronze Fringe Swimsuit £27.00 - They used to have this in a shade or orange - loved it, but seems its not available anymore...this is still a really nice colour, imagine beautifully bronzing skin next to it and orange nails are a must of course!
Available at - River Island

Topshop Wet Look Swimsuit £34.00 - I see combed back wet hair, strong eyebrows, someone with a little diva inside them...I don't think its for the mild hearted! Helloooo...look at the back - GORGEOUS! And on a little naughty level, I think your breasts (when cold) would look to die for...
Available at - Topshop

DVF Mini Spot Leopard Swimsuit Reduced to £127.00 - Think the shape of this is classic, the back is ultra low and its screams chic femininity.
Available at - My Wardobe

Miu Miu Plunge Front Swimsuit £130.00 - I love this, simple, elegant...This era's bond girl!!!
Available at - Net-a-Porter

Matthew Williamson Leopard-print Swimsuit £250 - I think I like this as its pretty unusual and wouldn't see anyone else in it! I'd rock it in Miami!!!
Avaialble at - Net-a-Porter

Lisa Maree Feathering Peacock Crochet Swimsuit £155.00 - Doubles up as an AMAZING top, I love a bit of crotchet!
Available at - Net-a-Porter

Get buying people...swimwear can be reinvented year upon year!

Enjoy

Rain, rain, come again...

I was a little questioning on myself when I saw this and loved it! I never had a mac growing up...I know how cruel! Wish I had the funds for this little pick-me-up...who could be dreary with this on, I'd team it with Timb's , jeans and white tee, simple dimple...and a cutesy umbrella...I already have an A-mezing vintage number I rock in the rain!

Available at Topshop - £36

Something I actually would like to buy from Tophop! : o

Floyd Maxi Dress by Unique....
The pattern is cats!!! haha An inside joke between Elephant & I! Its part of Topshops'Unique SS12 collection based around egyptian influences of pyramids ,Cleopatra and the infamous cat references.
The first time in a long time I've been tempted by something in Cloneshop, sorry Topshop. But at £110 I don't think I'll buy it any time soon...heres what I would do....

Just call me shoebo...

I never discriminate against a shoe....orange, purple, leopard, spikey, strappy...whatever they may be, there definatley the accessory for me!!!

Below are my fave picks of some luxury brands - some available at Selfridges in Birmingham...I LOVE LOVE LOVE & wish I could afford ANY of the Louboutins...i'm not fussy whatever pair - if your feeling generous!!!)

Iv'e also found some alternatives at a much more affordable price all below £150 (which in my case is more suitable & in fact a treat!!!) I have my eyes on the spikey leopards from Kandee (online), the colour block coral pair from Topshop (available in town) & the ankle strap pair from River Island! ooohhh slut shoes,haha...

Sounds a bit obvious but shop in Birmingham!!! Rather than surf the net - physically go there....new shops won't open unless we are there spending...besides why wait a few days to try on something gorgeous to realise you need the next size up when The Bullring & Selfridges is open 8pm Mon-Sat & 5pm on Sundays - perfect for a little after work treat!

Over & out (i'm off to town!)
