Fijian Island Castaway

There are three things I can't do without on any sun-drenched island getaway. A bikini, some SPF 50 lotion and a giant pair of sunglasses. I mean, obviously, right?

Gotta protect this face and body. I'm trying to stay young, here.

Seriously though, lately I've been having a real love affair with oversized sunglasses. If any accessory manages to be both dramatic and classic all at once, it's the oversized sunnies. The issue with this infatuation is, strange as it may sound, my nose - I'm half Chinese and don't have the highest bridge, so certain pairs tend to slide right off the minute I get a sweat on. Not this gorgeous Tom Ford pair though; they're light as a feather and elegant to boot. 

These photos were taken about two months ago in Fiji and they're giving me seriously itchy feet - I'm yearning to get away from muggy London and dive into a refreshing ocean during these hotter months! Unfortunately, our next beach getaway isn't until August, so city exploration is the name of the game until then. There'll be plenty of island life featured here on the blog until then, though, because I have so much more to show you from our Fiji trip.

Talk about going to the ends of the Earth to get a slice of paradise. I think Fiji is literally the furthest we could possibly have travelled from London... and it was absolutely worth it!
