Beach Tomato! Our all-time favourite website for anything to do with the beach duhh. Their motto ‘life is better at the beach’ best describes their obsession (which we love) for all things beachy! From exotic places to visit, to the most promising sunglass designers to watch out for – if it has to do with that sandy abode – you name it, they have it.

They have recently opened up a ‘Beach Shack‘ where they stock the best beachwear designers on the planet! Could it get any better? We think not!

Check out some of our products which are on their fabulous site…

*All swimwear in this post is Mouillé; Pieces featured: Naomi top/bottom in red, Multi-Plumes bikini top/bottom (purple/cream), Montica top/bottom in cream, Geometric bikini set (multi-colour);

In the meantime, here is a sneak peek of what we were up to last week when we did our SS’12 collection photo-shoot…

Watch this space for more updates on this collection!

We love these Paloma Barcelo suede wedges in green-tea sorbet. They are perfect for all the long-weekend BBQs and easter-egg hunts. On that note, our other weekend wonder is…

Candy-coated mini easter eggs! Easter weekend is the perfect time to indulge. And why not? Yum.

We are a bit obsessed with pastels right now especially seashell pink, sky blue and lavender. Love love love! Here are some lavender items that will have you yearning for something in this dreamy colour.

Go luxurious with silk chiffon in shades of lavender. Think floaty, drapey, and soft. From top left: dress by Thakoon, suede flats (at asos.com), Amanda Bynes in Narciso Rodriguez, Marc Jacobs bag and pleated back mini dress by Dion Lee.

Ruffles & lavender = perfect combination. Compliment with other pastel colours like these blush rose sandals and glasses (both from Asos.com). Bikini is Mouillé (available at Yoox.com)

We’ve got some looks for you in the spirit of this festive and tropical place, whether you want inspiration for your next trip to Rio or just in need of ideas for an easy breezy coco-cabana look!

For the beach, go tropical with a bright colour palette. Pick a brightly coloured bikini or one piece and then mis-match with contrasting-coloured accessories. We love this bright floral print bag from Jil Sander. Flip flops & necklace from Asos.com. Bikini is Mouillé (available at Yoox.com)

Samba the night away by channeling the colour-block trend! Wear a bright asymmetric top or bodysuit with a high-waisted skirt and belt, but make sure all these items are completely separate colours that compliment each other. Pick accessories to match the colours in your outfit  like these two-toned, easy-to-dance-in shoes from Pollini (at Asos.com)  and this AH-mazing feather clutch from Matthew Williamson (at net-a-porter.com). Skirt from Asos.com. One Piece is Mouillé (available at Yoox.com)

Fancy a margarita on the beach in Rio? We do!

Whilst we are on the topic of summer being in the air, we thought we’d post a delicious, healthy and refreshing cocktail recipe (can be made into a mocktail too) perfect for sipping whilst laying out in the sun, doing chores, or even after work with friends.  Below is a recipe for ‘Watermelon Margaritas’ which we think this is the ulitmate summer time cocktail!

Ingredients:

• 5 cups watermelon, cubed, seeds and rind removed (about 1 3- to 4-pound melon)
• 1 cup silver Tequila
• 1/2 cup Cointreau or Triple Sec
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Watermelon slices (optional), for garnish

Preparation:

The Chloe One Piece in apple red (above) is the perfect swimsuit to wear whilst sipping on your margarita and listening or dancing to salsa music. Hoop earrings & flower optional.

Recipe taken from Gourmetfood.about.com

The ‘Naomi’ woman is sexy, alluring and has a more classic, time-less style.      vs.                                                                                                                                                          The ‘Chloe’ woman is flirty, quirky and has an edgy style.

So which one are you?

Or if flowers are too much of a statement for you, try a loose, messy braid. The weirder the position of the braid – the better! Check out some of our favourite messy braids (plaits)….

Bring on spring and summer!
