Hurry up summer!

H&M bikini & sunglasses, beach bag by Country Road

I love British optimism (usually seen in the form of people driving around in convertibles on a miserable, grey, windy day just because it happens to be summer). Unfortunately, I think I've finally succumbed to it's warped sensibilities because yesterday - while wearing a jacket and a scarf - I bought a bikini. I'd been thinking about this bikini ever since I featured it in this post, and when I finally tried it on I knew it was mine (even if it's quite skimpy in the derrière).  Then I saw the sunnies and voilà - my new beach outfit! 

Also, thanks to Diana at D'elama, whose great advice means I now own the fab yellow and silver necklace below (which I wore today with a stripped Gap top). I also got a really funky pink necklace too - not sure how I'll wear that one, but I'm looking forward to experimenting! Suggestions welcome!! xo
