Shot by Jonny Seleenmeyer and modelled by Izi Simundic, this lookbook from Asara Swim embodies everything that summer is all about. Titled, “Once Upon An Italian Summer,” the collection is relatively neutral in terms of color and print, with only one striped piece making an appearance, and colors consisting of black, white, mustard yellow, and brown. The real star of the show is the cuts of the bikinis. Done in itty bitty styles with cheeky bottoms, there’s no hiding when rocking these bikinis. The styles are revealing, sexy, and designed specifically to flatter the female form. They’re the pieces that you can easily throw on time and time again, making them the ideal swim styles to pack with you when heading on a European vacation. You’ll never worry about looking out of place in your little black bikini, that’s for certain. And so, whether you’re drawn to the string styles or something more seamless sounds up your alley, simply throw on a crisp white top over your bikini, and hit the beach to explore. It’s clear from the photos that this collection is all about a cool, relaxed, European summer.
From fashion and beauty to health and wellness, she enjoys sharing and connecting on the topics that help to make our everyday lives just a bit brighter. If you don't find her behind her laptop writing her latest article, you'll also find her walking her dog, whipping up a new recipe, or scouring the mall for the latest trends. Andrea's experience in fashion began after graduating from the Fashion Marketing and Merchandising program from the Academy of Design in Toronto, ON. She broke out into the competitive world of fashion by launching her own online boutique, selling women's clothing and accessories. From there, very quickly, she discovered online selling was not for her. She now prefers to stay behind the computer, chatting about fashion in a written format that still allows her to connect with fellow style enthusiasts. And, since then, she has never looked back, writing for independent magazines, small businesses, and everything in between. Andrea now also occasionally writes for companies and brands outside the fashion and beauty industry, but at the end of the day, her heart remains loyal to what she knows best—great fashion.
