So in case some of you didnt know, we are having a bit of a heat wave here in New England. Its pretty damn hot. But I like it - it the kind of heat wave that reminds you of when you were a little kid riding your bigwheel down the block following the ice cream man just to get one of those "screwball" snowcones - so you could cool off. Well, my idea of cooling off now is heading to the beach. Nermina (one of Concetta's Closet's models) and I headed to Wallis Sands beach here in New Hampshire. Nice clean bleach - a little too infiltrated by kids, but I tend to sit as far away from the kid crowds as I can. (Dont get me wrong...I love kids, but not sand-kicking, screaming/crying ones!)
So that brings me to my next topic - Bathing suits. I see tons of vintage bathing suits on Etsy from the 50s/60s. You know, the ones that look like your grandma would have worn it (and I think mine still probably does). Bullet boobies, low hips and so much coverage that you only get your legs and arms tan. So not my thing. I tend to lean towards the funky 70's cutout bathing suits and super low slung bikini bottoms. Here are a few of my fav's from Etsy:
