IN A WORLD WHERE WE ARE HANDSOME…
I was considering whether I ought to start this post with a melodramatic story about beaches, mojitos and bronzed skin. It was to be set in a land where everyone is flawless and dripped in unending sunshine. People named Sven and Tiffany lounge by glistening pools and live off bubblegum, they have nothing to do and nowhere to go. In my mind, this is the world that the We Are Handsome customer belongs to.
I was wondering if the brand, that’s become synonymous with edgy videos and growling animals, could be transported into real life. It’s all skin-tight stretchy fabric… surely this isn’t meant for city streets or real people? Rihanna might be able to pull it off but that doesn’t mean anyone else can. Each piece seems to encapsulate the allure of summer, making the mind-blowing body conscious pieces just too good to resist.
As I wiggled my way into this dress I felt myself being transported to another place altogether… to that world where life is bathed in golden sunshine. You can’t help but feel a little wonderful with all that elasticated sex-appeal sucking you in from every angle. Yeah, I might have just been walking down the grey streets of London but I felt like, if I could just skip through the right alley, I’d wind up being transported somewhere exotic.
I wore this floral print dress with a slouchy black cardigan and Converse for a bit of balance. In my world tight and short always require a bit of de-sexifying and nothing does that quite as well as a bunch of fresh flowers pushed into a brown leather bag. Yumm. I wish I had flowers on standby to carry with me everyday… they make the perfect accessory (potentially even better than a puppy).
I also tried a swimsuit with a mega low dipped back. It was gorgeous and I loved it under a pair of jeans. If your swimsuit is this crazy beautiful then it deserves to be worn during the day. I’m now a little obsessed with the dreamy prints and skin-tight fits that We Are Handsome does so well. These are definitely the sort of pieces that could easily migrate into my daily life, they don’t just have to be worn on yachts or music videos.

Gorgeous prints! The photographs are beautiful, and hey wearing the swimsuit as bodysuit really worked! You’re right! Why keep it in the wardrobe when it’s this beautiful?!
I love that you can wear this beautiful skirt with simple converse, not with 30cm heels, so uncomfortable;)
love the bag too!
dress, not skirt sorry;)
I’m liking those Lucy Folk’s colourful friendship bracelets, we have the same skinny wrists (woohoo) I can wear them.
P.s can’t believe these pictures were shot 2 months ago!!!!
Shhh! Don’t blow my secret that they were taken two months ago! Mwaahaha. I can’t believe it’s been that long! xx
I was just checking out their swimsuits yesterday and I love some of their prints (peacock?!). I cannot wait to be in the US and buy one (the downside to living in Mexico… soooo expensive to shop online and Saks here is totally overpriced!)

Ah, the peacock print is beautiful! xx
when was THIS?
Hahahha. When I secretly visited London and didn’t tell you. Just kidding… it was the day after fashion week before we went to Meat Liquor. xx
I never thought to wear my swimsuit! It is a sacred idea and I love the principle.
Very nice look in passing …
Have a nice day, xx

Swimsuits as daywear… I reck you’re definitely onto something here! Love this print on you, the converse trainers and slouch cardi does make it more daywear friendly and love the flowers as an accessory! xx
Great outfit.

This looks cool and love the idea with the flowers in your bag (and btw – Sven is a horrible name
)
OMG!! Didn’t know Swedish Hasbeens have such cool bags!! I think I’m in love…
oh! I wish I had your body to wear that bodycon dress with converse and look so cool and sexy
Have a nice weekend!

That dress is fantastical!
Ohh, I love their stuff! I have the horse bathing suit, really amazing quality, I haven’t dared to wear it as outerwear yet (not sure I could pull it off!) but I agree it seems such a shame to only show them off at the beach or pool! I think I’m going after the wolf or peacock next!
Love the casual styling of both pieces too, you make them seem to easy to pull off as outerwear, effortless.
I’m liking the look of combining the dress with Converse and sunnies… Kind of looks like you’re sneaking back home the morning after the night before…
I see it here too :9 bare legs, flower pattern
you are enjoying it I see… Finally! I know I am repeating myself from the previous comment, but I am so happy sun is here and that temperatures are up, and I know you understand me on this matter. It was 30 C yesterday 
hoooraaay! love the dress 
beautiful outfit!!!
