May have got my airport outfit sorted thanks to all the wonderful replies on here... But there is a last but certainly not least MAJOR problem. Bikinis, no matter where I look how many internet websites I browse from all over the world I just can't seem to find very many that I actually like. And the ones that I do like are not very well suited for my body shape.

To give a little guidence I love anything bandeau,french styled, I also like ruffles and floral prints, think zimmerman, I do love those bikinis. However, budget is tight so if the maximum could be around £150 that would be great. Recession is so annoying!

Also my body shape I would say is slim, small bust, but not exactly boyish/celery as I do have some hip!
Good luck with this challange, and yes I do realise that this is a challange!

I'm a believer in Planet Blue for all things beach-y and cool... ahem, so are most girls in L.A. They have like five or six stores in the city and always come through when you need a special, specific piece that's original.

They had a few things that might fit the bill for you... and the prices are fairly decent. My fave is the brown Indah one. Brown is such an earthy, sophisticated choice for swim (compared to ,say, a yellow polka dot bikini!).

here are the links for the suits:

Tori Praver: http://shopplanetblue.com/api/Index.cfm/pr....details/i/7360
Vitamin A: http://shopplanetblue.com/api/Index.cfm/pr....details/i/3011

... Kind of obsessing over their beach cover ups, too. Would you guys laugh if i just wore caftans all summer?

I like these two suits that la Garconne carries.

Also have you tried urban outfitters? They do carry zimmermann suits but they also carry suits that resemble zimmermann at a lower pice.

Would NEVER EVER laugh, I love the beach cover-ups too, they are fantastic for throwing over the bikini when going to get a drink or quick bite to eat!

As for the bikinis I'm on the website as I type this, and I am loving each and every bikini it really is a fantastic website.

Thankyou for the images aswell and they are in my price range aswell... That is a bonus!

Instead of being in bikini hell I am now in bikini heaven and have many to choose from. Thanks again.

My sister is really petite and likes the feminine, ruffled, zimmermann bikini type...for super budget find she always manages to find great suits at Jcrew (and I'm always super jealous) You might want to give it a look.....

I am obsessed with bright prints for summer!! Anything Missoni and Pucci for the hot season are my top picks! But I included a pic of the ruffles just for you!

Love bandeau style currently, discovered they don't give you those tan lines.
