At least, it had all the vibes I wanted to be channelling (or maybe thought I was channelling). Even though I'll never forget the way Anne Marie Chadwick looked in her plunging black dress that she wears for a romantic evening with Matt at the hotel, she seemed way more natural in her everyday surfer gear. Anne Marie's friends Eden and Lena, and little sister Penny, always hung by her side in similar triangle bikinis with splashy tropical prints and board shorts. They all wore beaded and woven rope seashell necklaces and bracelets, moving effortlessly in and out of the waves like it was some easy old thing. While I can't say Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez convinced me that surfing is a breeze, they did teach me a thing or two about summer style — more specifically, to always let my sporty side show. While swimwear trends may come and go, staying true to the basics that make you feel most confident is an absolute must. Though I tried out a lot of these looks for the first time simply because I was inspired by the cast of Blue Crush, I've maintained a lot of them through the years because I do love the casualness that comes with that inimitable surfer girl aesthetic. Truth be told, you'll never find me without the nine pieces below, even in the winter — because I'm always ready to hang ten go on holiday.
