Summer Style #2: Vintage Swimsuits

VINTAGE SWIMSUITS

I alway had a thing for vintage swimsuits. I think they are really lovely.

It's funny to look back on how things have changed. Now some people would kill to have a type of figure similar to the one on the left. Back in the days women just wanted to expose their curves. Now the image of beauty popularized by the models and the fashion  world is that it's better to not have curves at all. Still I think that nowadays it's better than a few years ago.

As you can see Taylor Swifts's style is highly influenced by the retro fashion. Below you can see a few swimsuits I found similar  to the one's she wore:

Summer Essentials (by Zuza)

Today it's my first offical day of summer holidays. I'm pretty exicted since my summer is going to be filled with lots of different events,but what I'm mostly happy about is the fact that I'll finally have some time for myself and I (hopefully) we'll be able to relax and forget about this stresfull school year. 

Here are some of my summer must-haves:

Yesterday was my last day as a middle school student. I'm really sad about that, but I'm looking forward to going to a new school, to new challenges, and new people.

Have a great summer!!!

Summer Style #1: Let's go camping with Topshop

Uwielbiam Topshop za to, że wszystkie ubrania w tym sklepie są bardzo uniwersalne. Kiedy wczoraj oglądałam ich kolekcję wiosna/lato 2013 niektóre elementy wydały mi się idealne na wyprawę pod namiot. Tak właśnie narodził się pomysł tego posta, a że ostatnio po raz pierwszy wybrałam się na właśnie taką wyprawę, stwierdziłam, że spróbuję napisać coś na ten temat. Zapraszam:

Yesterday while browsing Topshop's web page I got really inspired by all the amazing clothing. The very first thought that struck me when I saw their new collection was "this would make perfect outfits for a camping trip". Since I recently have been on this sort of trip I decided to share with you some ways to look stylish during camping in the woods.

Wszystkie elementy z zestawu wyżej pochodzą z Topshopu z wyjątkiem turkusowego naszyjnika.
All the pieces above are from Topshop (except from the necklace - I just felt that this first outfit was missing something :))

Nie mam wielkiego doświadczenia jeżeli chodzi o spanie pod namiotem, ale dla mnie niezbędne są: krem z filtrem, spray na komary, nie pogardziłabym również namiotem, takim jak ten powyżej z Fieldcandy. Poleciłabym zabranie wody micelarnej w spray'u, która jest idealna, jeżeli chcecie się odświeżyć.

I don't really have that much camping experience, but my essentials are things like sun cream, mosquito spray, hat, you also can't go wrong with a stylish tent like this one above from Fieldcandy. What I would also recommend is a micellar water in spray, it's perfect if you want to freshen up.

Recently I've discovered that camping can actually be a lot of fun. Normally I would be the last person to go on this sort of trip - I hate insects and big forests aren't my thing either. Lucklily my brother who loves camping lended me all the equipment (who would have thought that CAMPING from all the things would probably the firt one me and my big brother have in common). The weirdest part is that even thought I came back with tons of mosquito bites (about 50) and lots of bruises on my legs (goodbe perfect legs for the summer :(((( ), I must say this experience was highy enjoyable and (I have to admit that) I'd love to go camping again :)

Do you like camping? 

Have you got any camping tips you could share ?
