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 wrong with a plain black one piece halter, $72. The shape is flattering and fabulously elegant. Oh I can just imagine myself now lounging by the pool, cocktail in hand and donning a pair of oversized sunglasses. I need a holiday!
