A quick visit to Surfers Paradise in hope of attaining a golden tan to my pale Melburnian skin. Unfortunately it became overcast as soon as I laid my towel out. Was such a shame because I was so excited to wear my new bikini.

Today I’m wearing a poker dot frill bikini by Zimmermann. Usually I don’t veer from the classic triangle style but I wanted to try a different look. I loved the clever combination of a retro style against a sporty frame. And THAT sheer panel.

I should have left these babies home but they looked so pretty in the sand.
