Life's a beach.

Today has got us dreaming of a place far away from here. Perhaps one with swaying palm trees, drinks in coconuts, and turquoise seas! Tonight we will be feasting on Thai food and looking into possible flights out of here, but for now, these vintage photos at the beach will have to do!

Click the photos or the links below them for the photo sources!
Amazing polka dot swimsuit!

I want to sit in the sand and inhale the ocean breeze!

Lovely ladies dancing on the beach!

Love this ad from Cole of California!

Love the print of sassy broads from the 1940's!

This photo by Nina Leen is completely incredible!

Last but definitely not least, this photo from Venice Beach in 1930!

    We've been having a lovely summer down here in Tasmania, Australia - we normally don't get a decent summer but this year has been different. In comparison, all the tropical areas of Aus. have been experiencing almost nothing but rain, so we feel very lucky! (Well, I do at any rate!)

    I really like those polka dot maillots! (I'm a poet and I didn't know it!)
