Here Comes The Sun...

For those of you fortunate enough to be going on your holidays soon, the all too familiar bikini shop will be rearing its ugly head - filling you with a mixture of dread (because you are too fat/too skint to get into 'that' bikini) and wet your pants excitement (we will be on the plane in precisely 3 months, 2 weeks and 3 days). So here is a little tip - there are only 3 (yes 3) items you need to get NOW, to ensure your hard earned holiday goes exactly as planned and you look exactly as gorgeous as you imagined on that beach...

1. Absurdly luxurious Leopard Beach Towel from Agent Provocateur £95

2. Fantastically kitsch Rose et la Mer sunglasses from Anna-Karin Karlsson £395

3. Totally zany Chieftan Story Bandeau bikini from Mara Hoffman £140

And you're all set. Now just to book the flights.

Sweet Home Alabama

It's got to that period in my life when I get just as excited about homeware as I do about a trip to Topshop or buying a new CD.

Thank god that Diane von Furstenberg has just realised a playful home collection that makes those of us at this age still feel a little 'with it'.

Now I just need to buy a home to put it all in.
