Bikini; C/O Baku Bikinis. Pink robe; vintage

I never, ever, ever thought I would post pictures of myself, swanning around a beach dressed in nothing but a bikini, on the internet. To be honesty I've never been a huge bikini fan, I'm much more of a one piece gal. But when I saw this bikini by Baku I fell in love with the gorgeous vintage shape and sweet floral pattern. Plus the extra padding in the bust makes me look like I actually have a bust. Bonus!

But being serious, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads this blog because you guys have been the biggest confidence booster a girl could ever have. The fact that I have self confidence enough to post photos of myself wearing nothing but a bikini on the internet, speaks volumes of how great you guys are. I have never received a single nasty comment on this blog ever. And it's for this exact reason that I keep posting every week without hesitation. Christmas is less than a week away, this knowledge but excites and terrifies me, and before we know it twenty twelve will be upon us. I'm assuming you will all be taking a small break, like myself, over Christmas. So I'm taking the time now to say a huge Merry Christmas and I hope you all have fantastic years next year. I have a feeling that twenty twelve is going to be bigger and better than it's predecessor.

I, as rule, don't wear bikinis. I'm the sort of girl who spends the entire time I'm wearing one nervously pulling it around worried that at any second I'm going to fall out of it and expose myself to the entire beach. I also have zero cleavage with which to fill a bikini so I always end up looking somewhat, deflated? But when some shots from Baku Australia's newest range 'Isle Vista' landed in my inbox, I knew that they would be the exception to my rule. First off the little skirt around the bottom offers that little bit more coverage. Second the bandeau top has some padding for us not so well endowed girls, and the sweetest vintage touch makes it very 'me'. And as the cherry on top the wonderfully bright neon floral's are so on trend at the moment it's insane. Ladies, our search for that perfect summer bikini is over.
