"And cast your words away upon the waves, sail them home with acquiesce on a ship of hope today" Oasis
The Sun did wonders
that afternoon on the Barcelona beach whilst slowly submerging its self behind the horizon. Every
sun kissed inch of the surface reflected a nuance of contrasting shades making
it seem as a never-ending chromatic metamorphosis. Celia’s dazzling skin tone
made the striking colours of Clara’s stylism work wonders. Seeming as if the
saturated tones diverged with the golden sun strays, one could figure that that
mid -summer afternoon was soon to be subdued by eve. The pressure of the sun light fading was cheered by the roaring waves which broke, softly, onto the sparkly shore. Soon
after having fulfilled our mission, we realized that what was actually about to
happen had little to do with lacking time before the sun had disappeared, but
that the Heavens were about to open and plunging rain drops were about to soothe the scorching Barcelona beach.
The following pictures are thoughtfully ordered as so to resemble the approaching eve. Never forgetting it is summer, Clara Ripollès put several unique and lively outfits together: simply perfect for the occasion.
Big Kiss to all of you!

Ps: I've added some descriptions of clothes down below! Plus I attached bits and pieaces of my inspirational board!
1. In this threesome set of pics above, Celia is wearing a red striped blouse from Shana, together with an American Apparel high-waisted black bikini bottom. To give it a clashy touch, we used Clara's denim jacket exquisitely accessorized by her (see in the video).
2. The Red Polka dot Zara dress suited the yellow & Other Stories top perfectly resulting in a striking contrast.
3. This look is quite simple yet particular on its own. Clara pulled out a neon-pink coloured H&M jumper, and paired it up with these Polka dot shorts -originally skinny trousers from Top Shop- which, as a matter of fact, could do perfectly as beach wear. The dots together with the knitted jumper make the different textures quite riveting to my taste, as well as giving it a fun touch.
4. Perfect to wear when having spent enough time under the flattering sun, this fine yet casual Maracuyá blazer adds some spice to the classic cut American Apparel swim wear. Simply adore it!
5. Does this pic look familiar? Well, I couldn't take the drawing I posted three days ago out of my head, so, as soon as I saw this vintage, lively coloured one-piece swimsuit, I new I just had to go for it and make the bidimensional sketch become part of my reality. So, are there any border lines between fantasy and reality?
6. For when the sun strays were limping and stretching out their last bit of light before being harassed my grey clouds, we decided to finish off the shoot with this outfit: bohemian printed & Other Stories bikini top and a long white skirt, making Celia perfectly resemble a stranded mermaid.
