As temperatures soar in Dubai, I spent most of the weekend enjoying the sunshine at the beach. And beach weather means two things – major calorie counting whilst hitting the gym and indulging in some retail therapy in search of the perfect bikini.

I’m a big fan of the offerings from H&M Swimwear this year. They have some amazing colours and designs and some fab detailing – perfect attire to help you build up your tan this summer. Okay, I have to admit I am over-so-slightly jealous of Isabeli Fontana’s deep bronze tan and washboard stomach in the latest “Beach Sensation” collection for H&M this summer, but how cute are the pieces?!

I’m always weary one the one-piece cut-out swimsuit, but I really like the one in this collection. Maybe it’s time to throw caution to the wind and try one out. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Happy tanning people and remember your SPF!
