The Great Beach Cover Up

Regardless of your age/shape or size we all need a good beach cover up. From when we leave our hotel/apartment or villa, we all need a simple layer to throw on that will cover the bikini/costume underneath. I wear a single item only during the day on hols. I can always often be found sneaking off for a cold beer around 3ish and when on the beach I don't want to be sat there in my bikini, so a simple top or dress that covers all it needs to is a staple item in my suitcase. Lightweight items like the ones below are also good for putting on if you are burnt in places (that's me every holiday!).

 First things first - the accessories - hat and sandals - MUST MUST MUST! I love a bit of daytime glitz (these are from Next, they are current and they're £25 - they have not left my feet this past month!). Hat is Matalan but it's not online.

Fortunately, I have a few items that are perfect for the holiday season ahead in the shop right now and I am so in love with them all. If only I were going on a beach holiday this year to make good use of them!

 White Smock Top - £12 (comes in navy too)

Yellow Linen Dress - £15

White Top with Beading - £18
Long Shirt Cover Up - £20 (this is my absolute favourite item ever - it's so good with the sequins and a really good light weight crinkle material). Also comes in white.

For the rest of July, I am offering FREE 1st CLASS P&P! If you order today, you will have your goodies tomorrow!

 I also have other tops, dresses, scarves, jewellery - it's so much fun owning a shop (must remember not to take 1 of each for myself!)

 What do you typically wear to go to the beach/pool when on holiday?

    Some great beach cover ups Fiona. The long shirt cover up with sequins looks divine. I have to have something that's easy to throw on so I don't get lost & tangled up in it...which has happened a few times now lol! x

      I agree it has to be something simple, loose, lightweight and easy to get on and off.

      I also like something to drape across my chest which ALWAYS burns!

      yes there has to be a perk to this one because there aren't any in my day job (selling software services!)

    Some lovely cover-up options there Fiona - and I totally agree on the daytime glitz. I'm not going on a sun holiday either ... and the heatwave seems to be over here too (poo!) so sadly, I'm not in the market for such items right now. But kudos to you .. you have some gorgeous stock in your shop!

      I'm not going on holiday either :-(
      Sad summer times but I do have new windows (thanks husband for keeping on telling me the obvious!)

    Really lovely cover ups. I'm not going abroad but fingers crossed for another heatwave in Devon mid-August xxx

    I agree a hat and flip flops are essential. Love your range of cover-ups, I have some lightweight dresses and kaftans x

    Some great cover ups here, Fiona. Cornwall for us this year so I may not require them... I love the first one which I bought from you in stone :-) Lynne x
