Swimwear sales have seen an uptick in 2021, according to a Vogue Business story released earlier this month, as retailers jump back into the bikini and one-piece game after a lull last year due to surging COVID-19 numbers. With vaccines making their way into the arms of more people and restrictions on outdoor gatherings pulled back, more people are itching for a sociable summer at the beach.

Model Bella Lyn is located in Montana, miles away from any ocean beach where her latest swimsuit might feel like work appropriate attire. However, a colorful backdrop, and a remote photo shoot via iPhone, have her dreaming of some sunny Caribbean shoreline.
