California Girls

 Katy Perry sings our praises in her hit single, the beach boys wished “they all could be California girls,” and let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to be a girl living in The Golden State? But are California girls really what we’ve been made out to be? We are known for having sun-kissed skin, bleach-blonde hair, and the ability to effortlessly rock a bikini. It seems like a pretty good rep to have right? But here’s the hard part: keeping up with the reputation.

Me and my bikini

I go on holiday in a couple of days to Ayia Napa, and one of the most important things for me before I go is finding the perfect bikini. Just like finding the perfect lingerie, a good bikini needs to have a perfect fit. There’s nothing worse than seeing a girl with a top that’s too small or bottoms that are too big. A second thing for me when buying a new bikini, is that pretty is a must! You can’t beat a brightly colored bikini or one that's adorned with diamantes. For me, standing out is key, and some of the bikinis popular right now are perfect for this! Plus, they look even better with a tan, so you just can’t go wrong.
