Australian model Bambi Northwood-Blyth has been photographed by Tim Barber for Muse Magazines Summer 2011 issue, and the result is sure to have you hoping for warmer weather, pronto. In a shoot that quintessentially defines ‘summer’, Bambi looks right at home against the Californian coastline – which is where the shoot took place.

Styled by Susan Winget, Bambi wears patterned bikinis, sheer printed maxis, and oversized shirts that reflect the relaxed silhouette and vintage feel of recent summer collections. You’ll also probably notice the distinctively ‘real holiday’ feel that these photos have about them, which comes down to Tim Barber’s knowledge about how to use sunlight, shadows, and in-motion photography to enhance the feel of a shoot.

Now, road trip anyone?
