I'm sitting here at my dining table (my usual blogging spot) looking out at the rain, wearing a woolly jumper, jeans and cozy socks. All I can think about is what would I wear if; a) it was sunny and b) I was heading off to the beach. So I'm having fun browsing sites and putting together what I personally would love to wear for a day by the sea. No matter what I find on my search, I know I won't be buying, as my wallet says I can't buy any of these finds and the weather is clearly saying don't bother. My bank balance is safe, for now!
Ok the first site I'm visiting is River Island. Because I have sallow skin I tan easily so I always love a bikini with removable straps.... I hate tan lines on my shoulders. There are so many gorgeous trendy off the shoulder styles or cold shoulder styles which I love looking at but I will always stick to my old faithful style. That doesn't mean it has to be boring though, check out this gorgeous print....

Styling Tip
Trends are brilliant for giving you inspiration for your wardrobe. However, you should always remember to dress YOUR body!!! Never buy into a trend simply because everyone else will be wearing it. Invest in styles that compliment your body. If something looks good on you, and you wear it with confidence then you will always be stylish.
The weather has me seriously upset now. I'm at the end of my post and it's still absolutely miserable out. Seems very strange to be posting about beachwear.....you've got to daydream though. Hopefully the sun will be back soon.
Hope you found my looks inspiring.
Happy Shopping!!
