Vintage Bathing Beauties - Have a Lovely Memorial Day, Everybody!

Hello there, vintagers!

Nadia here, reporting to you from the Windy City, Chicago! And on this unofficial opening day of summer, Chicago is also the hot, muggy, and rainy city. We at La Caravane Bohème think it's time we get ourselves revved up and in the mood for summer, since it seems Mother Nature has other plans for us.

Expect some swimsuits to pop up in our caravan pretty soon, especially for our vintagers who favor the 50s and 60s. We all know how fun it is to emulate our favorite pinup bathing beauties like Betty Grable and Jane Russell. That's why Beatrice and I are keeping our eyes sharp for gorgeous swimsuits. Our lovely vintagers all over the world will be bathing beauties in no time as the sweet weather kicks in.

I do have to add a little side note here - I think a bonafide Moment is in order to appreciate this particular picture of the lovely Jane Russell. It really emulates just what this season is all about: brightness, happiness, and simply enjoying the sun and warmth. I think we can all agree that this particular kind of beauty just doesn't come along all that often anymore.  But that's what we're here for, right?

I've got my eye on a couple of bathing suits in particular at some local vintage spots (I'll be spending a few weeks in Chicago), and I plan on perusing some estate sales for some hidden treasures for our loyal Caravane followers.

In the meantime, enjoy some of our great treasures already hanging in La Caravane like Daphne, an adorable little 70s sundress that doubles as a great bathing suit cover up! Just toss this little number in your beach bag to wear when things get a little chilly at the beach or even to dinner at your favorite boardwalk spot that evening.

We've had a great start to La Caravane's journey, and we still have a long way to go. So here's to a bright, warm summer ahead of us filled with sun, fun, and of course beautiful vintage fashion!

Have a safe, lovely, and bright Memorial Day, vintagers!

Keep Vintaging!

-Nadia and Beatrice
