Katey Coppola plurked this morning to remind us that the HUGE sale at Nayar ends June 1st. You might choose to pick up one of these adorable Katey Kinis. I’m sort of partial to red, so the Ladybug version is my favorite.  For the sunglasses, I turned to Strawberry Singh, who had recently plurked her post about Mojoti Eyewear. These are really well made and there are a ton of options! So, bikini? Check. Sunglasses? Check. Now, where to shoot? I plurked a request for beachy sims and Myndi Meredith suggested Sol Mananero. And WOW! What a gorgeous setting. You can expect to see lots of beachy photos from me for a while, I plan to camp here for the summer.
