Vogue has recently opened up its vaults uncovering some of the most beautiful summertime photographs that have graced its pages since the very beginning of the legendary fashion magazine. Here are some of my favourites, including the iconic August 1940 cover photographed by Horst (third image), a salute to the up-coming Olympics. It’s been too hot around here and I’m looking forward to the weekend to escape the city heat. Wishing you all a relaxing end of the week!

Oh Ada! These were wonderful, thank you so much for sharing them! Hope you have a wonderful weekend (send some of the heat this way please)!
They’re all gorgeous – my favourite is the second one. Have a beautiful weekend Ada and enjoy the warmth while you have it – I’ll be thinking of you sunning yourself in the sunshine! :)x
I really enjoyed that slide show. I’m such a sucker for old photos, from the pre-Photoshop era!
Such lovely pictures :). Have a great weekend xoxo
Ada, I kept part of these photos for a blog 😀 but there will be other hot day in the city, hot day in the city! I am very keen on these old photos! Have a great weekend! :*
call me crazy, but i still think there’s nothing chicer than a woman in a one-piece swimsuit….
the best figures look sexiest in a one-piece….
these are lovely.
have wonderful day.

So wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing these. The first one is my favourite because of the colours and the pose and I adore the last shot.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
