Swimwear Wishlist 2016

Swimsuit Image

 

I am sure you are reading the title of this post and wondering what is she on about. Swimwear in January? Has she gone nuts? Lol. No I haven’t gone nuts, and yes buying swimwear in January, is a good idea. This is the best time to stock up on your swimwear and swimming accessories in time for the holidays, because most people are not shopping for them at the moment, so they are usually seriously discounted in most stores, and with the January sales still on, more discount peeps.

I have been window shopping, and I have my eye on some one-piece Swimsuits at the moment. I find I get the best bargains in department stores, because there are so many HOT options to choose from.

I am more comfortable wearing a one-piece swimsuit, than a two-piece, because the one-piece shows off what I want showing off, and hides all that needs to be hidden. It is a perfect piece and I am lusting over these 6 beauties below:

 

Biba Summer Tropics Large Cup Tummy Control Swimsuit £55 £22

Biba Summer Tropics Large Cup Tummy Control Swimsuit

A love the multi-colours and the busy print on this beauty. The fact that it has some form of tummy control gives it extra points. The halter-neckline flatters my body shape a lot. This one-piece should be in every woman’s holiday suitcase this year.

 

Dickins & Jones Boat Print Swimsuit £45 £18

This Dickins & Jones swimsuit is simply beautiful. I love the very light price tag of £18, this is what I call a bargain, getting a £45 swimsuit for £18, perfect. The navy blue colour is one of my favourite colours, and I love the fact that it has a padded bra for support. Perfect for the not so busty ladies.

 

Linea Weekend Zig Zag Halter Neck Swimsuit £50 £20

This is another swimsuit I like. I love the print and colour, it also comes with a padded bra, which is fab. This will look good on me, and with a price tag of £20, I am seriously considering this piece, plus anything Linea is always top quality.

 

Speedy Sculpture Crystalshine Printed Swimsuit £56 £28

Speedo Sculpture Crystalshine Printed Swimsuit

This swimsuit is on my wish list because it is so different from the rest. The brand, Speedo, is known for their activewear, so I guess that is why this swimsuit looks completely different from the rest. It is not as stylish as the others, but I like it. Probably not a holiday piece, but it will be perfect for the gym, and for the kids swimming lessons. Love it.

 

Ann Summers Ocean Fringe Swimsuit £25

This one-piece is so SEXY, but then again, it’s an Ann Summers piece, and most of their pieces scream SEX in a posh way. This will be perfect in a private pool/beach kind of thing, not sure I will be bold enough to rock this in a public pool, but you never know. I love the fringe detail, it gives the piece an edgy look.

Which is your favourite? Drop me a comment please.

Thanks for reading and have a WICKED Friday. Be safe.

Hey peeps. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have known that yesterday was my birthday, yayyy. I took the day off blogging and just focused on having a good time, and I did. I had a lovely spa day, and a delicious Chinese dinner, with my favourite people. I am extremely grateful for another year and looking forward to greater things ahead.

If you remember, I featured an outfit post on leather leggings some days ago and I got mixed reviews. Many liked it, but some did not think it was something they could wear. So I decided to feature the leather leggings again, but in a completely different way, and I hope it changes the mind of those who think leather pants are not for them, because leather leggings like any other leggings is a wardrobe staple

To refresh your mind, this is how I wore my leather leggings last week:

I went for a chic casual look by pairing the black leather leggings with a blue crop top sweater, chelsea boots, sunnies and a faux fur coat.

This week I went for a more dressy look. The tall black shimmer high neck tunic top  complements the leggings beautifully. I am petite but I went for ‘tall’ because I wanted it longer than my regular tops. The top hides all the bulges and bumps anyone would be concerned about, and it changes the look completely. Yea, leather leggings are versatile like that.

OOTD: How to Style the Ugg Boots

Outfit Post OOTD 1

 

I fell hopelessly in love with Ugg Boots in 2008. Yea I still remember the exact year, I am weird like that. I just started my Masters course at Bristol University, in the middle of winter, and I wanted something to keep me warm and look stylish at the same time. Ugg Boots are my guiltiest fashion pleasure, but I am not so guilty. I have four pairs now; blue, black, brown and grey, and I am not done yet. I find them so comfortable but yet stylish. The bridge between comfort and style, should be called UGG BOOTS, I am giving the brand free press here and I know it, but I don’t care, I love their boots sooooo much.

I love my uggs

It breaks my heart to hear some women say they find Ugg Boots too casual, not chic enough to wear outside the house, and I am like, WHAT? Don’t get me wrong, I know you can’t pair them with an evening dress or a suit, or wear them to a formal event, like a wedding or a dinner date, but Ugg Boots have their ow place. They can be worn on shopping days, running errands, school runs, and the likes.

They are great with a pair of skinnies or leggings, on those days when you want to look casual-chic. Here are some ways for you to style the Ugg Boots and some ways you shouldn’t:

  1. Wear with no make-up and a messy hair for the chilled out look.
  2. Do not wear with tracksuits. You will look trashy.
  3. They look great with chunky knit, and skinnies.
  4. You can pair your Ugg Boots with a long tunic or tux shirt, and show off your bare legs, if it is not too cold.

Ugg Boots are the winter staple for the fashion conscious, stylish woman, and I see they being around for a very long time, but still, they divide the fashion savvy. Many believe they’re best worn in the comfort of their home, while others like me see them as fashion staple.
