The Summer Swimwear Edit

Get set for salt-swept hair, bronzed skin, bare feet and long days spent by the ocean…

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing my favourite fashion and beauty items for summer. Starting with an edit of my favourite new season swimwear. You’ll notice that there isn’t much colour but the truth is when purchasing beautiful new swimwear you want it to be the beach equivalent of a little black dress; So I have only included classic bikinis and one-pieces that will stay in style for years. Think of it as your next true beach investment…
