Model of the moment Lindsey Wixson hits the beach in a fun [retro-inspired editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyler-mcgillivary-3) for Harper's Bazaar March 2012. Photographed by Terry Richardson, the playful shoot captures Wixson rollerskating, hanging out at a delightful antiquated diner and playing with a seal and a dolphin, all while posing in the best of the [spring and summer 2012 collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025).

The 'Chic in the Heat' shoot for Harper's Bazaar March 2012 was styled by Julia von Boehm and took place in Miami. The [floral prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-spring-2025) and textured quality of the clothing in the shoot is enriched by the gorgeous sand, sun and brightly decorated beachside boardwalk, and serve as a reminder that even the hottest days don't always mean you must compromise style.
