Over at Travels With Bella Figura USA, I've talked about some of the luxury tour operators, and Abercrombie & Kent is definitely one of my favorites.  In fact, I went to Egypt with A&K last year - a fantastic journey that included a cruise down the Nile on their ship, the Sun Boat IV - and when I returned I wrote a number of posts about the trip.

Recently here at Savvy Style, there have been several posts about summer fashions, and more specifically about swimwear.

Well, those three topics: A&K, Egypt, and swimwear, all converged when I started flipping through my latest A&K tour book this weekend.

Now, these tour books are always filled with phenomenal photos, but this edition included photos of the gorgeous model Elle Macpherson,  (yes, as in Sports Illustrated swimsuit model) taking the very journey I went on last summer.

Mercy, the woman makes swimwear/lounge wear look out of this world.  Or maybe it's the opposite: the swimwear/lounge wear makes Elle look out of this world.  Anyway, see for yourself -

Elle on the top deck of the Sun Boat IV - love, love, love this look:
 


Again, on the boat - note the fab ethnic jewelry:



Elle looking dazzling at the Temple of Karnak - "maybe" (hard to tell since not much is shown):



And to channel Elle, and have your own cool, ethnic necklaces, check out our  Egyptian necklaces - all handcrafted by the women of southern Egypt.



If you're interested in taking your own journey with A&K, be sure to check out their website: Abercrombie & Kent.  And here's the link to watch a video of the Sun Boat IV.
