Tee Summer Cocktail

Who thinks that a simple and common Tee can make a fabulous summer look?
I must admite that I don't.... for me a T-shirt is not a fantastic and necessary piece in my wordrobe :D) .
After I saw this fashion editorial on Madamme Figaro (latest edition), I have to reconsider the Tee.  On this pictures the T-shirts make a real "beach show", indeed.
The simple or printed T-shirts with short pants or skirts and accessorized perfectly create the desired surf look or chic look on the beach.... like St. Barts ( the location of this photoshoot)

   After a long and hard week, I would like this weekend to try to give up to my pumps and makeup and do something amazing. 
These days I saw a video that have been sent by my best friend from Indonessia about surf in Bali.... and my mind remains there... Suddenly the surf became so inspiring.
I would like to try this new experience for me... to feel the wind in my face, to chase the perfect wave, to hear the sound of the ocean... and it is all about freedom.
I have to admite that I will not go without my Givenchy shark tooth necklace and a beach party dress.
I'll pick-up some sport chic outfits from VPL, Alexander Wang or Rag Bone and I'll folllow these awesome tips (http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Surfer-Girl)
All I need is to start take some surf lessons and have some fun !
I am hypnotized ... Do I look like a surfer girl?

Metaphoric Summer

... Let begin the adventure from here!
Draw a fantastic univers of imagination and dare as Danzed & Confused done in June Issue, 2012.

The imaginary univers is populated by many species of butterflies in human shapes ... or by humans who transform itself in flying butterflies. Could be this shows the transformation of our soul, the freedom of the human spirit? Can be this a Psyche of our days?

In the greek mithology, Psyche personifies the human soul, and she is represented with butterfly wings..a metaphorof flying soul. Here we have ........ a modern transformation of Psyche... with metallic touches and all kinds of butterflies accessories.
A true philosophy in a stunning fashion editorial.

Sparkling Crush

... For no reason I found this treasure. Can you imagine? It is a miniature dog clutch hand-beaded Austrian crystals & optional chain strap.  This terrier dog clutch brings a dazzling effect on me, i just saw it and I fell in love...
Love dogs! I can adopt this sophisticated dog in a second. I will take it home to take care of it.
Hope my real dog of mine (a foxterrier breed) not be jealous of him. 
I can't imagine myself on my summer late party, without this clutch with chain strap. A treasure of  $ 4.875 I'll carry on my shoulder, if I would had those money.  Yes, this is the value of this american luxurious clutch, by Judith Leiber brand.

Find your own treasure here: http://www.judithleiber.com/ ... and till than sparkling dreams.

This fashion editorial is my inspiration for a perfect summer vacation escaping anonymous from the real world at the sea shore. How cool can be? Early in the morning it is a nice feeling to wear a warmth artisanal sweater looking at the rising sun. For day-look choose sexy swimsuits, oversized t-shirts, or .......oh my crush ***) ...a jumpsuit slashed, fringed & beaded. Finish the day in a asymetrical tunic, ready for a rebel beach-party near to a campfire.
I need to wake-up... stop dreaming! All this just because of the Vogue UK, May 2012 edition.
