Perhaps it's a little counter-intuitive to do a swimwear post in the middle of March. But I'm an optimist and a planner and the combination of these traits means that I'm super-duper looking forward to my Summer holiday. The boyfriend and I have pretty much decided on what we want, but what we actually book will depend on how much money we can save between now and crunch-time.
One thing I can guarantee, though, is that swimsuits will be required. And there's no harm in looking, is there? Looking and imagining and fantasizing, that is.
Perhaps it's a little old-fashioned of me, but I don't believe there's a better swimwear designer out there than Esther Williams. Her vintage styles are so flattering and timeless - after all, she was the original poster girl for swimming. So for my holiday, an Esther Williams two-piece and a one-piece are on my 'to buy' list.

They are also available in plus sizes and are very reasonably priced. They're available at Modcloth, too.
If you're super-confident and have a body to die for (unfortunately not me), and a fairly formidable wallet (definitely not me), I love love love this Agent Provocateur swimsuit, available at Net-a-porter for £245.

I also love this Miu Miu 2-piece for its frilly girlishness. Again available at Net-a-porter, it's on sale for £145.

In general, I love the simplistic swimwear styles of Chloe and Melissa Odabash, or classic vintage styles which are available now at most high-street stores.
I'm a big fan of these from Topshop, which all retail for £26-£30:

Ciao for now,
