Tu Bikinis sizzling swimwear from Sainsbury’s

Usually when I go to Sainsbury’s the most exciting things I come back home with are chocolate and wine! But that’s all about to change. I don’t know about you guys but since I’ve seen the new Sainsbury’s advert for their summer range of Tu clothing, I can’t wait for the weekly grocery shop! I am totally in love with the little glimpses we’ve had of their new swimwear collection, particularly this little black and gold Tu bikini, an ideal little number if you are planning a bit of summer partying on the beach, or for a more glam look the purple one piece is as sophisticated as it gets!

The collection doesn’t stop at beachwear, with some key summer pieces like floaty tops, white dresses and maxi-dresses from £20 you don’t have to be going anywhere near a beach to make the most of reasonably-priced supermarket glamour! The only downside to the Tu clothing range is that it isn’t yet available online, so you do have to go to the supermarket to buy it and they don’t always have want you want in stock so use the website to find your nearest store and check their stock.

I didn’t think writing a UK fashion blog would mix well with the fruit and veg aisle but the weekly shop is suddenly sounding much more appealing! As soon as summer comes round, I’ll be hitting the…grocery store for some tasty Tu outfits!

Summer fashion styles 2011

Continuing on the theme of hot fashion trends for summer 2011, I am currently desperate for some new swimwear to take with me on holiday and this is where the next look for this summer comes in – prints inspired by nature. This summer it’s all about the florals and animals. These two work really well together or as completely separate trends – my main source of inspiration for creating my beach side look for the imminent holiday is going to be the Diane Von Furstenberg Spring/Summer ’11 catwalk. I love the bold prints she uses and the colours are great mixing brights and neons with black and brown. I love this floral printed bikini called ‘Winter Garden’ but it’s just a bit over my budget at the moment so I’ve scoped out a high street version which is really funky and a bit more pocket friendly – they also do a swimsuit version and it comes in black as well if you feel like you want to stand out a bit more so head to French Connection now and get your hands on one of these ‘cos they’re selling out fast!
