It's only the start of May and I'm already getting extremely excited for summer. Summer is about getting out and enjoying the sun, whether it's sunbathing or having a swim in a pool. As the months fly by we need to prepare ourselves for the good weather by kitting ourselves out with some super hot bathing suits.  I always dread shopping for a swimsuit, as I struggle to find the perfect swimsuit to suit my figure. Normally I like to go for something that will help me hide my imperfections and that will keep everything in it's place. There are soo many shapes and designs you can choose from. So I thought I'd pick my favorites from some very affordable online stores. www.riverisland.com Silver Metallic "bronzing" swimsuit £32.00 www.asos.com ASOS Petite Gathered waist band swimsuit £20.00 www.urbanoutfitters.com Calvin Klein White Cheeky Swimsuit £80.00 www.mango.com Braided Drawstring Swimsuit

The sun was shining and fashion was in the air for the first show of West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK S/S 17. The Designer and Boutique show was held in the amazing venue "Life Church" on Bruce Street in Belfast. As we entered the event we had our social shots taken by the lovely Brendan Gallagher. Afterwards we quenched our thirst with a complimentary glass of West Coast Cooler. As usual I was dressed from head to toe in Nor-Lisa and I felt amazing, I had my hair braided at the braid bar in the Jason Shankey salon in Victoria Square. My flawless fake tan was created using B-bold tan in medium and my heels and clutch from New Look. Myself and my partner Ryan McManus In the reception room guests mingled whilst they enjoyed some hot beverages from Lavazza coffee and browsed the pop up shops. Then afterwards in the main room we were welcomed by the fabulous Cathy Martin and Rebecca McKinney, who opened the show. Designs by Nor-Lisa, Narah&Co, Blush, Zohara, Diamond
