A lot of you may have already been on your holidays this year, but I thought it’s still worth doing a summery swimwear haul as we’ve still got august and with a bit of luck England might actually allow us to get in our bikinis and swimsuits for one last time, or you might be like me and going on a holiday at the end of summer.
There is less than a month until I’m on my honeymoon spending the majority of my time in a bikini for 10 whole days and I am so ready!
I knew I needed to buy some new bikinis seen as the last time I had was probably a good couple years ago. I put it off for so long and just wore the same old ones because I found it really difficult in the past to find ones that fit me right and were comfortable. This year was a little easier, I think because most places now sell the tops and bottoms of bikinis separately and also a lot of bikini tops come in bra sizes now which make it so much easier to find a good fit.
I got all of these really cheap because everywhere is starting to stock bloody winter coats already that they’ve put all summer things on sale, I love a bargain especially when it comes to things like swimwear that I’m only going to wear once or twice a year!
I’m also taking a bright neon green swimsuit because why not you only honeymoon once, a navy crochet swimsuit and a simple plain black bikini set. The top is in the same style as the leopard print one below which I can also wear with a pair of grey and black bottoms that I picked up just so I’ve got variety and enough for 10 days!
Links to these items are at the bottom of this post…
RIGHT PICTURE: The leopard print top is new from boohoo.com it cost me less than £5 and it fits like a dream. This is sized in bra sizes so very easy to find your size, does up at the back with one clip and is extremely comfortable. It’s not for everyone but I love a bit of animal print and think it looks great on. The black bottoms are an old pair from ASOS I will link some identical ones I found on their website. This is how the bikini was styled on boohoo it did not come with matching bottoms.
LEFT PICTURE: This set is from H&M and is probably my favourite, Navy is one those colours that looks great with everything and is very easy to wear. The simple but really flattering design is stunning. I’ve shown the back of the bottoms because I’m a real fan of the ruched detailing. The top is a size 10 and the great thing about it is you can tighten the shoulder straps and the back in one go it’s all connected so can fit it to your exact requirements. Love it.
LEFT: The bottoms of this bikini are very high waisted which I’ve never worn before but I felt really confident in them when I tried it on. I’m secretly hoping the high-waist is enough to hide the all-inclusive buffet I’m going to be eating day after day. This top gives me more coverage than the other ones which I know some days i’ll want. I love wearing colours I wouldn’t normally wear back home when I go abroad and these pastel colours are so gorgeous I’m really looking forward to wearing it! ASOS is a really good shout if you’re looking for swimwear so much choice and so many sizes.
RIGHT: Everyone needs a white bikini, especially if going on your honeymoon! This classy crochet tie up one with gold detail looks really expensive on when in reality it was probably the cheapest one. Primark really pulled it out of the bag, then tbh when do they not. I do prefer straps that don’t tie up around the neck as I find it gets uncomfortable after a while but you can just undo them when sunbathing which is a plus. I can’t wait to wear this round the pool feeling like a 10/10.

Hope you enjoyed my little haul and got a few ideas on where to find some bargain bikinis. I want to know where you’ve been or are going to on holiday this year?! Let me know in the comments.
I’m going to be staying off social media as much as I can whilst on my honeymoon but will be posting a lot of photos on Instagram when I’m back so be sure to give me a follow.
