So, I thought i would kick off my 'What's In My Suitcase' posts with a very bright and colourful one on bikinis (wow theres only so many times you can type the word 'bikini' before it starts to look wrong)... I do seem to have a bit of a weakness for buying them and whereas the normal person would take about 3 or 4 for a week in the sunshine, I go a little bit crazy with my over-packing tendancies and take atleast one for each day - sometimes even more (I kid you not..I'm awful). I'm going away for 10 days so taking only the 9 featured in this post is somewhat of an achievement for me (please reassure me I'm not the only girl in the world with this bikini-buying obsessh?) I find the best place to go for bikini's and swimwear is, without a doubt, River Island - they always have an amazing range in all sorts of colours and designs and although they are a little pricier than your average, they really make a statement and always fit amazingly. I had quite a few people asking me where the Turquoise one was from last time I went away! I was rather chuffed with myself for digging out the striped Primark bikini; i bought this years ago and never really wore it much, but stripes are really in fashion at the moment so I delved into my bedroom drawers and managed to find it. I'm planning on saving the bright coral one from La Senza until later in the holiday when I'm really tanned - It was meant to be about £32 but I snapped it up on the way home from work for a more purse-friendly £15 in the sale *high five*

I really wish we could get our hands on Victoria's Secret much more easily here in the UK - although it's probably a good job as I don't think my bank account could take much more bikini-buying abuse...If you're reading this I should have arrived in the sunshine by now! I'm planning a few of these Whats In My Suitcase posts (the rest hopefully will be up when i'm back) - I hope I manage to bring some sunshine back with me...
