BEACH

The sunshine was ever so slightly more forthcoming today, so like any dreadful "Brits on tour" stereotype, we donned our bikinis and headed to the beach. The locals kept looking at us like we were mad (they were still in coats), but as far as I'm concerned it was perfect sunbathing temperature, and I'm pleased to report that my tan is coming along nicely!

I really do worship at the Alter of the Sun. The reason for this is that, when I'm pale, I don't get that pretty, delicate, almost translucent porcelain skin. I inherited my Ma's Chinese skintone, which is quite olive when tanned, but too many months without the sun and I start to look really sallow and unhealthy. Bleugh. 

Here's what I wore today:

Hat - Topshop; Sunglasses - ASOS; Top - ASOS; Shorts - Blue Rinse

After a busy day stuffing my face with paella and playing winning at beach football, I'm having a quiet night in introducing Miss B to Game of Thrones, which she's never seen. I think it's pretty essential that she's up to speed before season two starts (which, incidentally, I'm manically excited about).
