life at the beach.

i love these photos from life magazine. something about the romance our grandparents & parents had with the seaside seems lost these days.



you can see the full collection at coastal living.

capturing the old wave.

i love vintage swimwear & this old postcard from my hometown. it depicts a different place than where i grew up. people played on amusements at the beach, & the boardwalk wasn't just for gawking at bennies.petrie point designs has saved many of the gorgeous old swimwear & made them into art, that i'm dying to get my hands on!



i love the white suit with gold trim - so chic! where can i find a suit like that, these days??
