The Lucky Magazine July 2012 'The Edge of Summer' photoshoot takes the publication's readership on to a tour of the high seas. Model Bekah Jenkins assumes the role quite well here, brandishing an Americana take on the marine-friendly motif.
The star-spangled banner displayed near the rear of a wooden boat in the Edge of Summer instantly brings about images of sailing trips spent along U.S. beds of water. And while some may harbor a fear of tides, Jenkins has invited viewers to merely peer at seaside ensembles as she is found sporting blue and white stripes, loose sarongs and a knit see-through sweater. The best part of this editorial is the fact that it modernizes classic nautical looks with retro pink sunglasses and a patterned bra.
