Beach Kit

The "reader's look" is a page where I will show my outfits in a simple and casual way. I’ll try to show interesting things, things I like and you ladies like to see, as well as give you hints and tips.

To begin with, I never thought of doing outfit posts but only to give tips about my favourite boutiques here and elsewhere. I am the type of person who doesn't like to be exposed and have only a few photos of myself (Bday, Xmas, holidays) plus I am not photogenic, and cameras make me nervous (unless I am on the other side of them). But my dear school friend O.R. said "...dear, image is worth words...and we adore your wardrobe, please share a bit of your daily look...." I gave it a second thought and followed her advice and let my shyness aside. Yet it always takes me a few minutes to feel at ease.

So, I gained courage and made this session on the beach, in a bikini for my first post on the "reader's look", where you can see me just like I am. The fact that the amateur photographer, Helena S., is a woman and a warm person has definitely helped me. And this bikini by Roxy, pretty comfortable and sexy at the same time, gave me the courage I lacked. It was easy and fun and I confess that to show this brand gave me great pleasure. Thank you Helena, the photos were good, and this bit was fun.

Later I will probably speak of Helena S. as she is about to publish a book for children, a trilogy ....but psssst...let's keep it for ourselves at the moment... though I am impatient to read it, fingers crossed.

Now back to my beach kit: the basket was love at first sight, it is spacious and pretty to carry everything you need for a great day at the beach (or a picnic in the park). As for the fouta towel I hesitated, not for long, because even though it looks nice I wondered if it would be comfortable because of its delicate and fine appearance... yet it turned out to have more advantages than a traditional beach towel: lightweight, fast drying, super comfortable, spacious and elegant (that counts too)... My beautiful hat made a lucky person in the airport because I lost it on my way back to Switzerland. And the list would not be complete without a good sun protector (will post separately suggestions on sun protector)... and - being a reader - a great book, of course!

I hope you ladies enjoyed this post.
