Peter Pilotto For Target - Sky Bar Bangkok

If you follow me on instagram (claudiakitten) you will know that I've just got back from a fantastic holiday in Thailand as I was posting like crazy (sorry about that!).

I finally got to wear my Peter Pilotto pieces and saved my dress for our last night which we spent at the Sky Bar in Bangkok, which is where the Hangover 2 was filmed.
It's on the 64th floor so you can imagine the view across the city was AMAZING. It is really expensive for Thailand (worked out about £15 for one cocktail - which is about the same as prices as London). It was smart attire so my dress was perfect...



       
       

       






My yellow floral dress was £40 and the matching skater shoes were £30. There was a massive hype surrounding the range before the launch and working at Net-A-Porter, I got to preview the range before it went live so I already knew in my mind what I wanted to get.
In addition to these pieces, I also got the swimsuit and a pair of the sunnies for my holiday.

What do you thnik of the Peter Pilotto for Target range and did you manage to grab anything yourself?  My sister got the skirt, a top and black and white skater shoes and then my eldest sister got the skater shoes for just £10 at the NAP sample sale which took place whilst I was away. It was for friends and family only, it isn't ever open to the public, but lucky my mum picked me up a couple of pieces I will post another day.

When it comes to Summer we all know trying to find the perfect bikini or swimsuits for holiday is rather time consuming, so I wanted to show you a few of my favourites to make trawling through shops and the internet a little easier if you need a new one.


Left - Right 
Top Row - Miss Selfridge £26// Warehouse £26// Dorothy Perkins £21// 
Bottom Row - River Island £25// Playful Promises (ASOS) £52// Topshop £32


Left - Right  River Island £28// Dorothy Perkins £24// ASOS - £35// Dorothy Perkins £22// Topshop £32



Left - Right  River Island - £25// Topshop £34// Warehouse £35// Miss Selfridge £32// River Island £30

These were my favourites and hopefully some of them tickled your fancy.



The 3 above I have recently bought for my holiday to Ibiza in July - Both the bikinis are River Island but I purchased them from ASOS and the swimsuit is French Connection bought for just £15 from their Ebay Outlet, who knew they sold on ebay!

 I adore bikinis and have to wear a different one everyday on holiday, which means I already own a lot, so I have been really good and only purchased three new pieces of swimwear for this Summer.

I also absolutely love cut out swimsuits so decided to finally purchase one. I am planning to wear it half way through my holiday on my Bora Bora beach trip, that way I have time to get rid of the tan lines before I return home!

A lot of my bikinis are branded -  Ted Baker, Chloè, Playful Promises, Vitamin A, Caprice and Flamingo Sands. I used to only want branded ones but I started to really like high street beachwear and also have some from H&M and Warehouse which I bought last year and now the two from River Island above, which you saw in my Asos haul post recently (they are much prettier in real life).

Which ones are your favourites and what type of swimsuit are you planning on buying this summer?
