She’s been soaking up the abundant Miami sunshine since the New Year, after jetting over from her festive break in Barbados.
And Kimberley Garner wowed as she hit one of the Floridian city’s beaches in a decidedly revealing olive green swimsuit from her eponymous collection on Friday.
The former Made In Chelsea star, 29, showcased her slender frame as she strolled the golden shores, a day before she kicked off early 30th birthday celebrations.

Kimberley’s swimwear of choice featured a high cut and a criss-cross open back, while side cutouts unveiled a glimpse of her bosom.
Accessorising with a pendant necklace, bracelet and ring, the businesswoman shielded her eyes with a pair of stylish sunglasses as she chatted away on her phone.
With her golden locks falling beyond her shoulders on soft waves, she let her natural beauty shine through as she kept her makeup minimal for the laidback outing.
On Saturday night, Kimberley took to Instagram to share footage of herself hitting the town with designer Julien Macdonald, 49, as they celebrated her 30th birthday.
The blonde beauty, whose big day will fall on Wednesday, donned a black open-back crop top and skinny jeans as she joined the Welsh designer for her meal.
Sharing a post of Julien kissing her on the cheek, Kimberley wrote: ‘Celebrating my birthday. [S]o much respect for Julien as a designer and the most wonderful friend.
They were joined by at least four other friends, who were seen knocking their cocktail glasses together as they settled in for their restaurant meal.
Late last month, Kimberley furiously hit back amid mounting backlash about stars jetting abroad on ‘work trips’ amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: ‘I run a business, I’m not an influencer,’ as she defended her reasons for being in the US during the height of the pandemic.
Kimberley said she jetted out of the UK on December 14 – a week before London moved into Tier 4 – to ‘check on my apartment’.
Kimberley, who travelled to Barbados before heading to Miami, is one of many stars who have been trolled online after being slammed by Home Secretary Priti Patel for jetting abroad under the ruse of a ‘work trip’ despite strict COVID-19 travel rules.
The star, who owns her own swimwear business Kimberley London, wrote: ‘I bought my place here this time two years ago. It was a massive achievement, still really can’t believe it sometimes. I run a business- I’m not an influencer.
‘Flew out of the UK on the 14th December to come check on my apartment, this was before any lockdown, and plan to wait here until I can return home. I miss London a lot.’
Kimberley has been enjoying the past month in the sunshine and has gone public with her romance with her new mystery beau.
The swimwear designer has kept coy about his identity on social media but the couple looked loved up as they headed out on a stroll hand-in-hand.
Kimberley’s outrage Instagram post comes amid backlash towards influencers who have jetted abroad during the pandemic.
As they shared photos from sun loungers, lockdown had appeared not to apply to so-called influencers and models who ‘used loop-holes’ to jet off the sunnier climes under the guise of work.

Angry: Home Secretary Priti Patel slammed stars for bragging about their holidays and people ‘turning up with their skis at St Pancras Station’, adding, ‘Going on holiday is not an exemption’
On Wednesday Priti Patel criticised those who have been holidaying in the sun when they have been told to stay at home.
She said going on holiday was ‘not an exemption’ as she unveiled a strict borders clampdown to slow the spread of the virus, telling the Commons: ‘People should simply not be travelling.
‘We see plenty of influencers showing off where they are – mainly sunny places.’

As the criticism intensifies, members of the public appear to be taking umbrage with their tone deaf posts from Dubai – now dubbed ‘Covid Cosablanca.’
Hostile messages on Instagram and Twitter pages are accusing them of recklessly spreading the virus and putting the NHS under increasing strain.
Many claim they jetted off for ‘unavoidable work trips’ – with some even going so far as to suggest that their social media posts should make them ‘key workers’.
Scores of reality TV stars ‘used loop holes’ to flee to Dubai to lounge in luxury hotels, pose for pictures with cocktails on sun loungers and enjoy beach parties.
At the start of the year, Kimberley had revealed that she was turning down all invitations to socialise on a big scale while in Miami amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
She wrote: ‘I am here, but I am very very strict still. I see people in tulum and all over going to parties and it doesn’t feel right to me.
‘I haven’t been out to any parties and turned down invites from friends as feel it’s just not right to be in a crowd – it’s not ok at the moment.
‘I’m really lucky to be in the sun and outdoors, and am valuing that totally, but not going to live normally as it’s not a normal world at the moment.
‘I really think and feel for everyone home at the moment, it really sucks, please be brave, please be kind to each other.
‘I did lots of little rounties when I was in lockdown and that helped keep me happy. Simple things like Praying, walking, working out, cooking and calling people who I like :).’ [sic]
Concluding her post, she advised her followers: ‘[B]e there for someone who might need you (even dancing round to loud music at home looking very silly but gosh it helped keep a smile) I hope your ok x.’ [sic]
