Being a fanatic of creative beauty and the sea, naturally I'm obsessed with Anna Kosturova. At three years old, Snow White's magical costume had a major impact on Anna, and after earning a degree in Engineering, her natural instincts kicked in and she went gung-ho bikini designing! Her silk tie-dye wraps, itsy-bitsy bikinis, cowrie shell vests, pin-up mini cover ups, short-kinis and boho bracelets woven from tropically colored yarn make me feel like I'm staring in Blue Lagoon. Loving my aqua Flashback Bikini– I'm riding the wave of what Anna calls "personal liberation!"
