Siren-core, travel beauty bits and swimwear to be seen in...

Hi!

Well…I’ve really made a rod for my own back with this newsletter revamp. It now it takes me about 10x longer to write and prepare it! BUT, I hope you agree it looks good and are enjoying more shoppable links and recommendations. This month, we’re taking inspo from mermaids and (cautiously) wearing our bikinis out and about. I’ve also included some travel beauty must-haves for your summer hols and lots of things to watch/read/eat! If I have one request this month it’s: please give @thecultslice a follow on Insta!

See you in August! ☀️ X

Wearing…

Swimwear is no longer reserved for the poolside. Wear swimsuits as bodysuits and let your bikini peep through sheer and woven fabrics. Too risqué? Add crochet details and raffia accessories to bring a bit of beach into your everyday look.

Here’s some inspo:

• Oliver Bonas Raffia Bag - £60 – an easy summer crossbody

• Mango Crochet Bikini Top - £22.99 – this will look so cute with baggy denim jorts, ankle socks and colourful trainers

• Celia B Cut-out Swimsuit - £112 – pair this with a flowy maxi skirt for a statement holiday look

• Never Fully Dressed Tropical Co-ord - £39/£49 – dress this up with metallic sandals for beach-to-bar vibes

• H&M Hole Knit Beach Dress - £23.80 – let a bright bikini peep through
