Hi 🌞

I am sure at this stage most people have their summer holidays planned. I am doing a few blogs on a few of my favourite places. My first is Malta! Last year we went to Malta and Sicily for two weeks and it was amazing!

We stayed in Sliema in Malta, we booked an apartment through http://www.airbnb.com and got a gorgeous, modern 2bedroom apartment for about €75 a night. The apartment was about a 2-3minute walk up a hill from the sea.

You can get the sliema ferry over to the capital Valletta, we went on a Sunday and nearly everything was closed. We had a wander around Valletta and stopped and had some Wine and bruschetta. Wine is seriously cheap and starts about €2 a glass.

We also did a day trip out to Gozo and Comino. I think it was about €40 euro for the day, it was about an hour to Gozo where we got a bus tour of the island and about 1 hour to explore ourselves and get lunch. We then got bacl on the boat to Comino, where the Blue Lagoon is. This place is stunning and definitely worth a visit.

Shopping

Shopping in Malta is great, there is a huge shopping centre about a 5minute walk away from the ferry and it has loads of shops. River Island, New Look, Pull and Bear and loads more! http://www.thepointmalta.com

Eating

Malta has some brilliant restaurants. My favourite is Bad Ass burger and it is amazing. The guy who owned our apartment recommended it and we wished we were staying in Malta for longer so we could keep eating there. It is in St.Julians beside Mcdonalds http://www.badassburger.eu.

Another great restaurant is U Bistrot http://www.ubistrot.com. Food was amazing!!

Another place that I loved (I am obsessed with doughnuts) was the doughnut factory, it opens 8am to 8pm great doughnuts for breakfast and dessert 😄

Any questions let me know ☺

Hey, so holiday season is coming soon and the shops are full of bikinis. I have pulled together details of a few bikinis and different price ranges. Most of the shops are full of bikinis at the moment, so stock up soon from experience last year there was very few sizes left by mid June!

So my first few are from Seafolly, an Australian brand that I love. I worked for Seafolly when I was in Australia and their bikinis are amazing. I find they are a very good fit for girls who have a C/D bust and a narrow back, I struggle to find bikinis that are tight enough. They also do bigger cup sizes depending on the style plus everything is sold as seperates, making it easier to find the perfect fit. Here are two from this season, a bit of colour and a classic black:

Both of these bikinis are fab, they are a bit expensive at about €150 for the top and bottom, however they do last year’s!

I fell in love with this one piece from Ted Baker, one pieces are huge at the moment!! I love the colour and the shorts to match are so cute!!

Penneys also do some really cute bikinis and great value! Couldn’t believe the price of some of them and they also cup sizes in the bigger stores. They have so many different colour kaftans to wear with and loads of lovely one pieces. You can get the swim gear and a kaftan for about or under €20!!! How cute is this one and only €7 for the set, these come in seperates so you can buy the right size!

I will definitely have more posts on holiday clothes as my holiday is in 4weeks 😆
