Hot Fun in the Summertime by Emman Montalvan is a collection of photos that depicts two beautiful best friends enjoying the summer sun. The photographer Emman Montalvan used a [Polaroid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrospekt-and-polaroid) camera to capture the models, and this has given each photo a slightly blurry, vintage and retro effect.

Stylists Kelley Ash and Leore have adorned the models in a collection of swimwear, sunglasses, shorts, t-shirts, patriotic pieces and scuba masks. All of the clothing designs are from [Wild At Heart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wrangler-for-wild-life-tailor-ex) fashions, and can be purchased on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop). Wild At Heart designs are inspired by laidback simple things such as motel rooms, Polaroids and relaxing by the pool.

These pictures are truly wild at heart, and capture a day in the life of two carefree young girls.
