jungle gurl vintage + swim

My bestie Natalie is the owner/designer of Jungle Gurl, an amazing swimwear line that now has gorgeous vintage pieces for sale! Since the start of her business, Nat has always used her personal friends as models; something I was totally cool with in my 20s, but something I’m a little more reluctant about in my 30s. Regardless, the girl got me in front of the camera last week (I couldn’t resist these vintage pieces!!!) and I even wore this super sexy one piece for the shoot. Natalie is from Hawaii and all about embracing your body, which is pretty amazing. It’s a great reminder for me to always love my body no matter how old I am or how big my curves get. Loving myself (yourself) is most important. Right?! Have a great weekend! Listen to Prince and dance (RIP).
