don't know about you, but when it comes to bathing suits, 
ultimately all I want is a simple one like this

This blog entry is an ode to the stripe.
 No other pattern conveys summer and seaside better than the modest, ubiquitous stripe, then and now.
Here is to the stripe! Until we meet again.

  1. So very, very fun!!! I love the last photo most of all (everytime I see it, it puts the biggest smile on my face), but genuinely adore each and every one of these delightful vintage summer images.
