When we were younger we used to go away in the February half term as my Dad was a landscape gardener so that was the quietest time for him to take off work. I do love going away in the Winter and enjoying a bit of sunshine. It used to be harder to get clothes for Winter sun getaways and we would have to remember to get them in Summer and put away until February. Thankfully it is a lot easier to get kitted out now with the new Spring/Summer ranges available to buy online after the Boxing Day sales and the amount of specialised swimwear online retailers there are now.
I have been looking at Simply Beach and they have some stunning bikini’s, swimsuit and beachwear. They also have a sale on at the moment so I have picked my favourite pieces from the sale, hope you like.Add an instant boho feel to any beach look with the Watercult Bracelet available in ink blue, coconut and white.

Those espadrilles are gorgeous. The swim wear looks great too. I always try and pick mine up early season as I am such odd sizes!

I wish I knew about this before I went on holiday a few weeks ago. It was so hard to find a shop selling bathing suits in December!
Sarah Bailey says
I would so love to go and get some winter sun right now it has been so dark and dull of late and cold so so cold. I love all your picks, especially the bracelet.

Totally love the yellow bikini, actually I love your entire selection. I would need a new bikini for my summer holiday for sure!!

We are going to Portugal for some winter sun in Feb but I am not sure it will be warm enough for the outdoor pool looking at the forecast
Rhian Westbury says
The triangle suit looks great, I do really need a nice new swimsuit but I’m hoping to lose some weight so don’t want to push it too quick x
Amy says
I love that black lace top – perfect for slipping on at the beach to cover up.

I love the Laser Cut Detail Top, I love tops like that to throw over my bikini whilst strolling down to the beach. I’ve never been on a Winter Sun holiday but it’s definitely on my wishlist
