Best of the Best - Beachwear 2012!!

With the first glimmer of sunshine in the skies, I am already firmly fixated on purchasing my Spring/Summer wardrobe.... Having examined endless magazines, attended countless catwalk shows and made several calls to my P.I.C (Partner In Crime) Kalee Hewlett, who luckily for me happens to be an amazing Fashion & Celebrity Stylist, I know what I need, I just need to find the time to go out and get it!

However, year upon year and despite my efforts to be completely organised, beachwear always seems to slip through the radar and I end up panic buying Bikini's, sarongs and cover-ups from the sale rails of high street stores, borrowing from friends and paying above the odds for something 'not that special' at the airport! Come June most stores are sold out of their nicest ranges and you are usually left with the odd size 6 bikini bottom and a 38GG bikini top... not ideal for the average woman....

With the all day pool parties in Vegas, Miami, Ibiza and Marbella kicking off  I fully understand that selecting beachwear is now a VERY serious business, with just as much time spent getting ready for the pool/beach as there is for an evening out! So with big plans of my own this summer I decided that further research was needed....

A great friend of mine, Hayley Menzies has brought out an amazing Spring/Summer 2012 range of resort wear inspired from her love of Ibiza... I have a whole BLOG entry coming soon regarding Hayley as she has so many amazing items, with a great following.. but here are some that I recommend ordering now so check out www.hayleymenzies.com before its too late!!

I have also been very lucky to come across another website which was recently recommended to me by a friend, and those of you of who follow my twitter page will know that I have been very excited about ordering from them! www.bahimi.com is literally a one stop shop of every glam girls beachwear needs... they stock everything from luxury bikinis, monokinis to cover-ups. This exclusive online boutique was created with the female figure in mind, their site makes it easy to navigate straight to what works best for you and your shape. The team searched the globe to bring unique and high quality beachwear direct to our doors. Its literally impossible to not fall in love with everything on this site, but I have selected some of my  personal favourites that I believe will make a real impact wherever you are sunning yourself this year!

 Now I appreciate that some of the sites where you find such unique and high quality items can be a little pricey so to help try and justify this I spoke to Beverley Webb, the Founder of Beautiful Bosom and managed to get this helpful advice......


"We see lots of cheap bikini’s or swimsuits available and also some very expensive ones, so why pay more?

The answer is simple, because the fabric will be a much better quality which enhances your figure especially when wearing a tankini or swimsuit, but more importantly it’s the fitting of the cups and support/shape for your breasts.  As the old saying goes…. You get what you pay for.

I have sat on the beach and seen many women wearing the wrong size swimwear & yet, in the evenings they are wearing the correct size bra when dressed.

Making sure you are wearing the right size and shape, will make a difference between nice to WoW, no matter what cup or dress size you are"

Beautiful Bosom help many women everyday to find the correct size and shape them, producing great results, so if Beverley believes in the importance of buying items that are not only the correct fit, but beautifully structured and well made then I am sold!
