As everybody knows I am a mum of three beautiful little rug rats, what you didn’t know is that my middle child is a brittle asthmatic, which can sometimes make our family life very difficult as to what exercise we can do. The one thing she absolutely loves is the swimming pool, which is fantastic as swimming is a great exercise for asthmatics. So every Tuesday my little beauty and I go to the local swimming baths. I am in desperate need of a new swim suit as all mine are a little too over the top for the local pools but great for the beaches of Ibiza. Just because I have three children doesn’t mean I have to slip on my granny pants but I wanted something that was more sophisticated rather than really sexy. So I found the perfect 1950’s pin up girl style bikini, its under wired and slightly padded which is awesome as my boobs are not exactly fully facing north anymore. It has wide halter neck straps which are perfect for covering that little crease of fat near your underarm that some people (me) hate on show. So that’s the sophisticated look, but it can be made sexy by wrapping the halter neck straps round the back and having it strapless style. Wearing it strapless in the sun means less tan lines. It comes in crisp white or black and white micro dot, bikini or tankini. Visit www.bouxavenue.com
