Monday Muse...ST. TROPEZ

Another Slim Arron's photograph favorite...the legendary St. Tropez is located on the French Riviera.  This town was and still is a summer  'playground to jetsetters, fashion models, and millionaires', and it is most-enduringly known as the place where the iconic Brigitte Bardot was "discovered" and for its role in the liberation of southern France during World War II...

So naturally we had to name a swimsuit after this beautiful place.

1. Marysia SWIM's ST. TROPEZ bikini...is available in three colors..the bottoms are the perfect bikini bottoms.  The top has removable pads and ruffles that fit all sizes well | 2. Anja Rubik...the hair inspiration for our shoot, where my jewelry designer friend and I were the hairdresses:) | 3. Catherine Deneuve is St. Tropez, 1965 via PINTEREST | 4. can't make it to our sweet destination?...use this self tanner voted best in 2011 by IN STYLE magazine as for at least the St. Tropez tan.

Red and rose...

This blush, rosy pink is my favorite color (if you haven't notices yet)..hehe  that and the aqua....of course the logo of my label gives that away....but anywhoo...i love to find new ways of how to mix these colors in my collection and these images above have inspired me lately.  Are you a fan of these colors?  How do you feel about this color in a swimsuit???

Pinks

Color inspiration continues....I was never on the purple team-always pink.  I remember my mom dressing me in head to toe ballet pink- even the undies:)  I still love tonal outfits...thanks Basia!

The girls, bow tie and perfume are from the cherry bloosom girl, 

 beau joie champagne found on MaeMae Paperie,     

            Limited edition screenprint, 10 x 8 ($15) by Nick Morley, and rings image from once wed blog.

These are some of my daily reads... clearly all pink lovers:) This print would make a funny v-day gift.

Are you a pink or purple team player?

Blues

Happy Monday! I started to work on the new collection for 2012! So, I'm putting my inspiration board together and loving these blues...starting from the top right corner, clockwise.

India Hicks with her daughter, The Laduree in Paris, Slim Aarons's "Island Paradise", vintage Vogue re-blogged from a fellow Charleston Designer Bb Inspired blog, lastly I don't remember where this image came from...anyone??

Something red...

I absolutely LOVE red.  I miss it so much, as my last collection was totally muted.  You can be sure I'm adding this vibrant shade of red somewhere in the 2012 line.

 The girl in the white dress is Nicole from Gary Pepper Vintage, she's inspiration on her own but I love a white and red combination.  The colors of my Polish flag! Also the little red middle in white Peonies is so soft, yet it adds just the wright amount of contrast.  I must translated this into swimwear soon. The other ladies are from Tommy Ton, the style.com street fashion photographer...I just love what he catches with his camera.  Last, I WANT these sigerson morrison cut out flats.

Blue and blush..
