Two Beach Looks

   It may be drizzlling and miserable outside, but that does not dampen my anticipatory enthusiasm for summertime. The sun, the beach, the smell of light perfumes and warm ocean rocks...All of these would be made only more perfect if they were to be accompanied by these two drool-worthy looks I've compiled.



Left to Right: Suno lace dress, Cutler and Gross sunglasses, Isabel Marant necklace, See by Chloe bag, Maison Martin Margiela flats, Norma Kamali lace onepiece, Anthropologie drop earrings, Anthropologie book cover postcards, St. Barth's photobook.

   These two looks have a very "Hitchcock Blonde" vibe to them - classic, beautiful, and feminely sexy. For me that is what the best beachwear is - women in the sun, un-self-concious, their incandescence reflecting the warmth of the rays upon their skin, with the sunlight drawing out relaxed confidence and good conversation.




Left to Right: Norma Kamali swimdress, Zimmerman bathing suit, Jimmy Choo sandals, Anthropologie hat, Wendy Nichol double spiked ring, Rag and Bone tote, The Gentlewoman magazine - issue #4.

    Ever since I was little this idea of the beach has been formed by such images as the ones from below:
