The world has gone pineapple crazy. They’re on everything from baby clothes to writing paper, from bikinis to candle holders. Here’s a little roundup of the totally tropical things brightening up my week…

Vero Moda Pineapple Bikini Top, £18 at ASOS here. Now look, I’m not planning any beach holidays, but I am always on the lookout for funky underwear-alternatives that’ll look good underneath an open denim shirt or flimsy vest top. And I have to say that the more “longline” sort of shapes are very much floating my boat, post-baby…

This cute little tealight holder is just £2.99 – cheap enough to buy a whole load to dot about your patio for a bit of al fresco lighting. There’s also a silver one with palm trees on it that I’m equally drawn to. It may have to be a mix and match situation. Find the holders at H&M here. *UPDATE: ooh! Also, look at the black and gold one! Same page!

H&M are bringing quite a lot to the pineapple party – look at these ceramic pineapple pots with unscented candles inside. Oh so retro and not ridiculously expensive at £12.99. They are here online and they come in white (chic) or gold (Austin Powers).

What’s that Skippy? You want a luxury clutch bag emblazoned with your favourite fruit? Well I hope you have some cash to spare in that pouch of yours (I have no idea where this kangaroo reference has come from) – this stunner from Edie Parker will set you back £1,350. One to just lust over, perhaps. Find it here…

For some pineapple bling, the gold-plated baby pineapple pendant from Alex Monroe ticks the box nicely. It’s £120 and quite petite, so see below for a jewel alternative. It’s at Liberty here.

It’s possible that I actually prefer this pendant from Estella Bartlett – the Midnight Jungle Pineapple is a bit chunkier and it’s easier to see what it actually is. Very cute. And – wait for it – eighteen quid. You can find it at John Lewis here or Amazon here. 

On a random sidenote: I find it difficult to eat pineapple, now, after gorging on about eighteen kilos of the stuff when I was trying to induce labour. It didn’t work. It just took the skin off the roof of my mouth and gave me what felt like a massive bout of dysentery. Don’t try it at home, kids.
