If you thought that Balmain jacket we reported on was a little excessive, then check out this beauty from swimwear brand Pistol Panties. The swimsuit is called ‘Anita’ and is exclusively stocked in Selfridges. It costs a whopping £2,000. Yes, that’s right £2,000 for a swimsuit, oh and you can’t even swim in it. Anita is made from 5,000 Swarovski crystals, which...

Thoughts of sunshine and escaping to somewhere hot this summer do two things to a British girl. One, they keep us going and make life at work in the lead up to the warmer months just about bearable. And two, they put us in a flat out panic about what we’re going to look like in our swimsuits. Well, put all those fears at bay and face your fears head on. Ladies, let’s...

You can tell that we love Charlotte Ronson here at My Fashion Life so we’re pretty chuffed to announce that Ronson has teamed up with Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss—a childhood friend of Ronson—to launch a beach/swimwear line called Made With Love. The collection, which is set to hit high-end department stores and Ronson’s own Soho store in February, will cater to...

Looking for a perfect bathing suit is nearly as impossible and daunting as finding the perfect pair of jeans. Both are candid reality checks on the state of our figures and both typically leave us wishing that we had more or less in more areas than one. Lucky for us (and our boyfriends/husbands), Victoria’s Secret’s 2008 swimwear collection has just hit the market...

To all the guys out there, you’re welcome. To the ladies, my apologies for reminding you what impossible perfection in a bikini should look like. Seeing Halle Berry in her infamous orange swimsuit probably makes you think about how quickly beach season is approaching and how many workouts you can fit in before then.

It’s always wise to have swimsuits on hand in the event of an impromptu holiday and with all the great summer sales there is no time like the present to stock up. DKNY a favourite of mine for its simplicity, has an amazing swimwear sale and most of the styles are classic and unlikely to be dated by next summer. This halter neck one piece, $104, $72.80 is probably the...

I’m loving retro swimwear at the moment. It’s such a fun alternative to the traditional bikini and cut out swimwear - which lets face it, we’re not all cut out for. Swimsuit boutique Poppi swim has a great selection of retro bathing suits inspired by 40’s & 50’s design. Granted some of the floral styles are a bit overwhelming but you can’t go...

If upon opening your wardrobe, you are not blown away by a brightly patterned, vibrantly coloured tropical tornado of clothing (figuratively speaking of course) then you are not adequately prepared for the summer! This summers palette is as varied as it is dazzling, whether it’s a tunic, a vest, a bikini or a bag, ‘the brighter the better’ appears to be the not-so-subtle...
