In keeping with my bikini obsession, perhaps Shay Todd’s jolly rancher bikini was a bit too bright and if you prefer paler, simple colours Shay Todd Twisted bandeau bikini may be more to your taste.
Skimpy, cute and still just as adorable as the jolly rancher this supper sassy two piece bikini is better for fair skin women but still brings out the best in every colour. The funky style of each of the pieces provides something extra when sunning yourself on the beach. Accessorize with other pinks or be a bit more eccentric and opt for bright greens. A white kaftan would look fab.
Get your Shay Todd twisted bandeau bikini at Net-A-Porter priced at £100.
