Stand Out and SPARKLE on the beach this summer!!

Hey blog readers :)

Hope you're all enjoying the summer so far! I know if you're in Ireland the weather isn't great at the minute but hey if we all dream of sparkling on the beach the weather might change for us ;) ;) or failing that we can abandon ship on a sun holiday ;) ...whatever your doing this summer I have the ultimate 'MUST HAVE', 'Stand OUT' from the crowd' accessory for you....

A Bikini....

BUT NOT just any Bikini.... the CUTEST, girliest, frilliest bikini that is beautifully decorated with none other than swarovski crystals!

Most girls would have heard of swarovski crystals before because celebs are obsessed with them: especially the 'girly-girl' celebs such as Paris Hilton, who is known to be a massive fan of the swarovski bling!

What makes Swarovski Crystals any different to any other crystals or gems??
My mum was asking me this question and I really didn't know what the answer was.. well until the bikini arrived to my door... then it became evident:

Swarovski crystals are BEAUTIFUL they are created in such a way that lets light reflect in a rainbow spectrum! Their sparkle is what makes them unlike any other!

I was delighted when I came across:

'CRISTALLO BRAS'

I actually found them on twitter @Cristallobras which then led me to their website www.cristallobras.co.uk

Jorja, the owner, specialises in the most gorgeous custom made swarovski crystal bras and bikinis. Every item she makes is unique as all crystals are individually applied with care!x!

It just so happened that I had a press-call coming up for the Volvo Ocean race and thought of 'Cristallo bras' immediately as the PERFECT luxury accessory. The bikini I got is a peachy/pink colour with cute, girly frills and of course the swarovski crystals.

The above picture doesn't really do the crystals justice as it was zoomed in a cropped. However I love the colour against my sallow skin tone.

As is evident from the pictures the wind was a bit of an issue on the day never-the-less I had a great time frolicking on the yacht for the day in my Cristallo Bras Bikini ;)
