In a recent interview with SELF, model Emma Sanders talked about her trip to
body acceptance, and I was quite moved by it. I already knew who she
was, but I never knew her struggle to become the fabulous model that she is today.

Working in the fashion industry for years means I have seen and heard of a lot of ridiculous things that no one should, but when I read about Sanders being on Weight Watchers at the age of 12 I was appalled. I mean your body isn’t even fully developed at that age, your boobs aren’t all the way there, not to mention puberty is doing its own cool thing. And I pretty much lost it when she talked about about her grandmother making her run alongside the car instead of riding in it with her.

All of this made me have a ton of respect for her but it also lead to the inevitable social media stalking. When you look at her Instagram it’s basically all kinds of swimsuit inspiration, with lots of styling inspo. Scroll down below to see how why Emma is the epitome of summer goals.

Another cute all white look paired with mirror sunglasses and a bandana.

Not actually in #Mexico anymore and therefore have to wear actual clothes, shoes and drink out of real cups. Disaster.???????????????? #acoconutholdingacoconut ???? @denizalaca

Lessons in making florals less cute and more sexy.

Pulling off cut-outs and prints means she gets major points.

Here I am. Catch me if you can #Aitutaki #Cookislands

She is the queen of white swimsuits, but also love these straps on such a minimal suit!
