Despite the miserable weather here in the UK, a recent trip to shopping mecha Meadowhall meant I could finally start buying new summer swag ready for my holiday next month. First on my hit list was swimwear. I wanted something that would stand out and look great with a tan without spending above the odds.

After browsing many shops to my dismay I went into H&M to my delight and thought their new range of swimwear range was fantastic. Full of bold prints and bright colours – I hit the jackpot. I must admit however the summer H&M campaign images are looking slightly over tanned and models very skinny.

I invested in a pink in-your-face parrot print bikini which cost £7.99 for the top and £3.99 for the bottoms. I then went for a neutral meets neon green number with great detailing on the ties costing £9.99 for the top and £7.99 for the bottoms.

I also tried on the swimsuit below (£12.99) which would look beach-tastic (yes i just said beach-tastic) with a white sarong. So if you’re after some amazing swimwear this summer shop the H&M swimwear range.
