Last Stockholm outfit! I can’t believe I spent the first day of summer with such low temperature, but now that it’s so hot back home I kind of wish I was there! Four days shown around by one of my best friends, a semi-local with almost the same tastes as me gave me a pretty awesome idea of the best places to eat, shop, visit while you are there. I really wish to go back soon so I can see more, a long weekend just gives you time to see the basics but there is so much more to this amazing city!
I’m wearing: Ray-Ban sunglasses (GET THEM HERE), Gap sweatshirt, Acne Studios jeans (GET THEM HERE), The Kooples blazer, Superga sneakers (GET THEM HERE) and Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola bag.
Today’s post is part of a campaign called “Closet Swap” by Raise.com a new platform where you can buy gift cards to your favorite brands at a discounted price, and sell your unused gift cards for cash! From Forever21 to Kohl’s, they have gift cards to meet all your fashion needs. The campaign is about transitioning our wardrobe into summer attire, and to me nothing screams more summer than swimwear!
Well aware of the complications of finding a suitable piece for summer, every year I make an edit on my favorite pieces for the season, and this year is no exception. In my opinion one should always invest in swimwear. Why? well the importance of quality in intimate garments rises above all, you don’t want cheap material in contact with the most sensitive parts of your body.
This said let’s start talking about all this wonderful pieces!
1, 3 and 4 are Tooshie for A.P.C. Tooshie every year makes a few pieces of swimwear for french brand A.P.C in a sober and feminine line that matches the brand aesthetic to perfection and this year I am completely fascinated by every single one of them. I could not choose between their black one piece with gold stripes, or the blue one piece with white coffee bean print so I added both. I am also fascinated with their white bikini with thin gold stripes in case you are not a fan of one pieces then maybe this one is more suitable for you.
2. Marysia scalloped top one piece: This brand just got on my radar this year and I instantly fell in love with all of their collection. They play a lot with scallops and ruffles that add a different vibe to a standard swimsuit. GET IT HERE.
5 and 6 are J.Crew. I love their printed swimwear pieces, they have a wide range of wild prints and more sober and classic ones like these two. The retro bikini shape is just lovely, perfect for us girls who are not fans of the standard bikinis you find everywhere that show a little too much and can be somewhat tacky. GET THE BIKINI HERE AND ONE PIECE HERE.
If you remember my “Summer 2014 sandals” entry you will see how I shared my wishlist of favorite footwear for this season. My number from the list was this pair by A.P.C the “Roma” sandals.
Last year A.P.C released a previous version of this sandal exactly the same style but in a different material (suede) with perforated leather in different colors (navy, burgundy and mustard yellow). I wanted the burgundy pair badly and I did not buy they right away and they sold out. This year I was the happiest girl when they re-released the same style in smooth leather and in black!
While in Paris this winter I almost buy them but I was not feeling the sandal call just yet, and was more into footwear I could wear right away. Well again my size sold out everywhere…but stalking all the online retailers that sold them last week I was lucky enough to have find them on sale 50% off, only pair left…my size! I snapped them right away, and this morning they arrived. I’m so happy with this purchase, so expect to see many summer outfits of me wearing them.
If you like me love this pair you can get them at:
– APC website 35, 41
