Blooming summer





Summer is finally making a come back in London, or at least a few warm and unexpected appearances like last Sunday when I ended up enjoying a warm sun bath in minimalistic clothes on my rooftop (bless my landlord for the scaffoldings outside the house), and it is time for us girls to start thinking seriously about getting back in shape and working on the bikini body the beach deserves.

But don't despair: this year is not going to be as hard a work out as in the past, for there is a definite retro trend in the air, and shapely-not-too-revealing bloomers are blossoming in every designer's shop from Luisa Beccaria to Armani. Tailored shapes, humorous frills and a little bit of volume will put the accent on your feminine forms while holding in these certain annoying extra curves on the stomach that we're all trying to fight off.

And the good news is, if you accessorize the bloomer with a pretty summery coat, you can go straight from the beach to the club!
