'The Towel Series'

This is such a beautiful picture of Natasha Poly shot by Mario Testino for his Instagram-exclusive picture series entitled 'The Towel Series'. I'm a huge fan of black and white photography, a fan of Mr. Testino and also of Natasha Poly, so this pictures is pretty much perfection to me.

Vacation / The Best of Beachwear / Part2

So, it's time for part 2 of my special shopping edit of the best beachwear for the perfect fashionable vacation this Summer. This part is all about swimwear- my picks of the best bikinis, swimsuits and cover-ups. I always like to bring a few different swimwear with me when on vacation, like a couple of plain bikini/swimsuit and some patterned ones. I love vibrant and quirky patterns for swimwear, they always add that little bit of fun to a piece of clothing that that is pretty minuscule! I have included many fun patterned pieces in my choices, my favourite being the Miu Miu floral ruched bikini, the shape of the bikini is great and I love the colours in the floral print.
But that's enough talking for now, so let's get to it then, here are my choices of the best swimwear for this Summer-
