Swimsuits and whims of summer

I can not help but think of summer. Even though it's raining and cloudy I just keep thinking of summer. However, because of my extremely fair skin and my immense dislike of hot weather, summer isn't as wonderful as I always imagine. Yet, I do love the thought of vintage sun dresses and victorian bloomers and slips. I especially love the thought when there is a clear, river near by. For me, and I think lots of other people, the thought of summer brings upon the thought of swimsuits and bikini waxes, oh joy. Not only that but you have to start thinking about regular trips to the gym and eating really healthy, non-fattening foods, yet there is a bright side. The swim suits. I myself, am not a fan of the typically bikinis, with little gold chains nor one piece cutouts. I LOVE vintage bathing suits, and yes, I do not own one( something that I am so very sad about) but I marvel at there pure fabulousness. Now, when I say vintage bathing suits, I mean bathing suit from the twenties to about the sixties, maybe seventies but no eighties or nineties, I don't really think that considered vintage anyway. But if you look at bathing suits then and bathing suits now, I really want to go and cry, maybe even start protesting. I mean really, most bathing suits now are super ho-ish and so unflattering. I do have to say that there are some really beautiful modern bathing suits, but the sad fact is, is that they most are really expensive. I did, find a really nice bathing suit on Delia's. It is just black with panels and has a vintage tone to it.

Don't you wish we could all wear swimming caps, and the bathing suits are just so wonderful.
Just look at the ruching and gathering, it is so totally flattering and it's so pretty! Plus I want my hair to look like the blonde's, just on occasion

I love this photograph. First of all, her hat is wonderful, her bathing suit is fabulous and she just looks so serene.



Well, I have been sewing a lot. And I'm not just sewing but pinning and ironing which I NEVER do. But I think everything is coming along wonderfully.

Ignoring the impending fact that there are absolutely no cute, nice smarts boys in my class, school and town, I have decided to get on with my life and leave the(I will not mention names) certain people, immature and unconcerned with the fact that in three years we all are going to graduate and our lives outside of all the high school drama are going to start, behind. Personally I think my plan is wonderful. Anyway, I have also decided that I and only I am in control of my life, so I need to take every opportunity, whether it be good or bad and make it into something fabulous. Oh yes and, I have come to the conclusion that it's not big things that make you who you are it's all the little wonderful pieces that make up your great achievements. With all this thinking, I have totally and completely straightened out many important things.

I am signing out, for now. Have a lovely afternoon
