Ellie Ellie Wears - Let's Hit The Beach

In the midst of the summer holidays, we're in the mood for a beachwear special this week! As always, we love to add a little retro inspiration, and this Chic Swimsuit in fifties-style polka dot print really does the trick! The seasons key kimono with subtle lace detailing will look great over the swimsuit, and we spotted this lovely hand fan from Monsoon to add a pop of colour and keep you nice and cool on the beach!

What about carrying your sun cream and towels around? A roomy beach bag is ideal for the job, with knotted rope handles for a real nautical effect!
