Beach Goddess Chic
Release your inner beach goddess this summer. Draw inspiration from Vogue Paris editorial "Paradis Bleu", starring Karmen Pedaru. This amazing shoot had a cover reprint in Greece and Portugal.
To achieve this look opt for maillots in shades of cobalt, sapphire, azure and royal blue.Embellished bikinis look oh so sexy, as do one pieces complete with cut outs. Think Emilio Pucci, perfect poolside. Team with crisp white. These tones compliment blondes, brunettes and redheads.
A kaftan is a great beach cover up, look for floaty fabrics such as chiffon which skim the body.I love Tigerlily kaftans and my favourite from the Spring / Summer 2012 collection is the Caravan kaftan. Camilla Franks kaftans come in eye popping shades that feature embellishment and sexy lace up styles, in mini and maxi lengths.Team with bejewelled sandals, designer must haves include;Azzedine Alaïa, Jimmy Choo and Roberto Cavalli.If heading out for cocktails afterwards this is an exotic beach to bar outfit.
Another great look is a tasseled poncho worn with distressed, denim, cut offs. Look for bleached denim which gives a relaxed, bohemian vibe.
Accessorise with yellow gold cuffs.Cuffs add impact yet still maintain a minimalistic look. Find gorgeous pieces from Pamela Love, Alexis Bittar and Peter Lang whose gold triple band cuff for $40 is a steal! Finish your look with a pair of bronze Chloe aviators.
Beach beauty tip: Soft, honey skin can be achieved with a sweep of bronzer. Pink, translucent gloss on lips, try Lancome Juicy Tubes mouthwatering melon shade. Molten metal eyeshadows work well as an eyeliner, apply water to your eye brush for a wet, glossy finish.
