Summer Swimwear: retro styles for the fuller bust!

(Source)

I've been out and about looking for some fun and well fitting vintage inspired swimwear this holiday season and these are my favs to date...

Bravissimo have a couple of lovelies at the moment if you need a really good fitting swimsuit. My two favourites are the Evie 'Wish you were here' 50s inspired swimsuit at only £35 and Bravissimo's Polka Dot style at £49.

Evie £35

Bravissimo £49

I've also been admiring the retro inspired range in none other than good old Tesco!!! £8 for this beautiful polka dot bikini top and you can buy matching bottoms. (Not many of these left and they do tend to assume a DD+ cup means a larger back size too which isn't always the case!)

Tesco £8

Panache have some great retro inspired bikini tops this season too. The Lucille reminds me of the French Riviera circa 1955. At £31 they are probably mid range for  retro styles but could easily be paired with block colour bottoms.

Panache Page £31

Although I love some of the retro and vintage inspired ranges by other brands like WKD, Toast and Floozie by Frost French, they just don't cater for more unusual size/cup combinations; more's the pity!
Hope you find something fabulously fifties for your summer hols! Going anywhere nice this year?!

Fab Frock Friday!...

Today's Fab Frock is in fact not a frock at all...... but a Playsuit!

Be Beau Playsuit

I found this little beauty hiding away in Matalan and just love the retro feel of the neckline. I hadn't realised until I popped over to Lil Vintage Me blog just how popular the playsuit was in the 40s and 50s. Maxine has done some great research; thanks! At £18 I couldn't resist and with all the hot weather of late, I was really pleased I did!

Here's me out in this glorious weather wearing my playsuit.

Enjoying the sunshine

 I do hope you've had fun in the sun. Have a great long Jubilee weekend everyone!

Why the British always talk about the weather!

We were driving last week and in one hour drove through every weather condition there is. No wonder us Brits like to talk about the weather!!! At least we were in the car.
Here are some stunning cloud pictures we caught though as the sunshine played such a wondeful game of hide and seek.

Light Rain again!

It's a global cliche that us Brits always talk about the weather- but you only have to live here for 5 minutes to see why.

Happy wet/dry/cold/warm Friday folks!

(And a happy 3rd Birthday to my Aussie Nephew who I'm hoping is soaking up some rays today. A big Mwah Charlie!!)
