Hey there,
sorry I haven’t posted anything in ages but I’ve been really busy- first with GCSE exams and then with 3 weeks of relaxation after the exams 🙂 I guess I didn’t choose the best possible time to start my own blog but I’m back now and I’m writing about something that isn’t often considered as high fashion but I am obsessed with…
That’s right – this article is about wetsuits.
Now is the moment when you either completely understand where I’m coming from or you are thinking: “what is this girl doing?” but hear me out…
It all started on my trip to Brazil last year, when I started to learn how to surf. I loved it so much, I wanted to continue doing it in England but, the weather here being much colder than in Brazil, I was faced with a problem: I couldn’t really go into the water without protection from the cold (i.e. a wetsuit) but, being me, I would rather freeze that wear something that makes me look like a black stick in the ocean. I’m superficial. Whatever.
So, as anyone would, I searched “Pretty Wetsuits” on pinterest and the results were overwhelmingly pretty. The options are endless and I quickly discovered which styles I liked which helped me narrow my search and I found out where to buy the wetsuits, the average pricing and which brands sell my favourite designs.
So, in case you do a water sport and need a new wetsuit or even if you just want one for the
prettiness factor, I recommend Billabong, O’Neill, rip curl and roxy, especially the Cynthia Rowley collection even though these are a bit more pricey than the other options.
My favourite design is the “shorty” wetsuit rather than a long one but that’s just personal preference and you don’t have to stop there: you can even buy “surfing leggings” and jackets to put over your wetsuit which I think looks really cool.
So I hope me sharing my obsession with you was somewhat interesting or entertaining and if you know any other places in England or online stores that sell cool or unusual wetsuits, feel free to tell me 🙂
All my love,
Phia
