Summer holiday wish list

Swimwear - Monsoon, Navy Hat - Monsoon, Skirt, Striped hat, Sandals and bag - A.P.C

I have always found it hard to find the perfect swimwear, they all seem too revealing or exaggerated in pattern. I have come across two sets of swimwear by Monsoon, which seem to have ticked the correct boxes for my idea of perfect swimwear. Navy – check, my favourite wardrobe colour, crochet – perfect for summer, bandeau – perfect for tanning. The use of the crochet also provides simple, but perfectly feminine detailing, I can imagine slipping on some shorts and the swimsuit acting as a top.  One set of the swimwear is a complete swimsuit whilst the other is a two set of a tankini and briefs enabling the top to be pulled up for further tanning opportunities. 

As well as swimwear being one of my primary struggles for my summer holidays, hats have always been a major annoyance. I have found it difficult to find the perfect one. The typical beach hat with the gigantic brim has been tested but failed. The large brim gets in the way and with a bit of wind catching it resulting in it being blown from my head. I have spotted this navy bucket hat, which is perfectly cute and with a smaller brim will prevent it flying away.
