Finally summer

Awaited for so long, but now it’s finally here – the summer – my favorite season! I associate summer with sun, happiness, smiles, vacation, swimming pools, sea and many other just nice things. And of course nice summer outfits and sexy swimsuits.

I tend to prefer whole swimsuits, because I am not a big fan of sunbathing – I rather prefer swimming in warm swimming pools and of course in the sea. I think this black color with a cheetah pattern swimsuit is very sexy, as are black swimsuits in general. That does not mean that I would give up on bright colors for swimwear – they are also always eye-catching and up-to-date. Whats your favourite swimsuit color?

The summer is my vitamin C

It’s summertime, time to get the full sunshine, time to swim in the water of a lake, sea or swimming pool and no need to wear any wool! The summer is my favourite season and I love enjoying it to the full, no matter where. My post today is by the pool at home, of course without a real outfit, but with this nice black one-shoulder Calzedonia 3-piece swimsuit – the bottom part is a set of bikini and shorts, which I find very practical and like them very much. Not to mention that black is my fave for swimwear.

Underwater fashion photography

I love being creative and the ability to be unique. This underwater fashion photography session proved to be a great challenge for me but with the professional assistance of the first Bulgarian fashion photographer Julian Nedev it turned out very well.

Underwater fashion photography is not a widely common art, but a very impressive one. The outcome is very beautiful, but that comes with a lot of effort and preparation both from the photographer and the model. Everything has to be well planned in advance. It is very important to know how to communicate underwater with gestures. Each shot is taken on one apnea (single breathe in until the shots are done).

The choice of cloth materials is also very important – they have to be light and buoyant, the outfits should not be the kind that can tangle around you and prevent you from getting safely to the surface, should the need arise. 

The make up is also very important – on one side it has to be water resistant, obviously and on the other it has to be an intensive one. For this one I have to thank Plamena Mileva.

The equipment used is also very special – the lighting and the flashes should be the kind that reflect the color spectrum. 

There is also the background to consider – it has to be prepared in advance and match the outfits and the desired effect and colors.

For this session I chose a high contrast red dress, a mint-blue colored long ball dress that imitates the waves of the ocean and of course a set with a whole swimsuit and colorful spring accessories.

Dear winter, I think you need a vacation, it’s time to let spring start!

Although in Vienna the winter is not a real winter because we rarely have snow, and although it’s still cold, I am already looking forward to my favorite season – the spring and I am even ready for the summer right now. For me the summer always passes away so quickly that even with the winter being so mild I am very much looking forward to the hot season. I can’t wait to see my favorite trees blossom, to smell the spring freshness and to hear the birds singing.

So, seeing the rustling river and this I iced frozen pool I tried imagining that it’s already summer, even being dressed in this thick sweater. I meanwhile love this roughly weaved O‘Neil sweater, with the the Shawn Mendes trendy pink cap and my new Nike Air max 270 sneakers, of course all of them matched in a fashion way.
