Swimwear shopping is ruddy horrible. I’ve spent entire days hunting for bikinis only to get a bit teary and go home empty-handed, forcing me to buy a cheapie bikini at the airport without trying it on (and despite the fact that they didn’t have the briefs in my size) and spend my holiday doing that little jog to the ocean when i think nobody's looking. Don’t be me. Take your cue from these IRL models and go buy some really bloody nice swimwear and then go lie on the beach and chill the fuck out because life’s too short. Cool?

Should I spend less time on Barbie's instagram? Probably. Should you buy a ruffley bikini? Definitely.
