With the beautiful weather we are experiencing at the moment, my thoughts have moved away from the autumn / winter trends and back to light and bright summer clothes. This highly unpredictable and changable weather has me to-ing and fro-ing my interest from summer to winter. With the rare bit of sunshine we have had over the last week it would be criminal not to get out some of my summer favourites and make the most of them, lets face it they might not get a lot more wear this year. So today I have chosen to post about one of my favourite summer item of clothing. Something that I bring out year after year and that never really goes out of fashion- The Kaftan.

The kaftan is elegant and lady like and covers a multitude of sins, it is a great over bikini cover up and  an absolute must have for holidays. It is also very versatile looking equally great on the beach, with a pair of jeans or for an evening out. But the thing I love most about the kaftan is the array of beautiful colours and bold prints that it is available in.

Some of my favourite Kaftans for this year

After my last post. I have decided I’m not yet ready to stop buying summer clothes. I can always hope for better weather and anyway I still have my summer holiday and I can’t wait for two weeks in the glorious baking hot sun. One of the key items I will need will be a bikini. As there is still lots to choose from, I am in bikini heaven. Now I just have to make up my mind which one ( or maybe two or three are best)

This What Katie Did Retro Bikini has to be the coolest bikini I have seen. Great for strutting round the pool in a glam fifties kind of way.

I love the pattern on this Moontide Zanzibar Bikini and the little charm in the middle of the top really finishes it off perfectly. 

This Made in Heaven Polka Dot Bikini is very cute and girly with a pocket at the back. It is a lot more flattering than you think and the colour will look amazing with a sun tan.

This pillar box red Seafolly bikini with white piping will be great for standing out amongst the crowds on the beach. It also has a cleavage enhancing halter neck style.
