Above is a collection of images from previous blogposts and other sources (sources linked – photos 2,3,6,10), to highlight the Giorgio Armani Acqua for Life water awareness campaign
If I’m visiting a new city the first thing I’ll Google once connected to the hotel wifi is ‘can you drink tap water in [insert city]‘, then sometimes I’ll double-check with ‘but are you suuuuure‘ and Google will ask me ‘are you suuuuure you’re wearing the right size bra?’. Just about drops the issue every time. However, the question whether tapwater is drinkable in Warsaw… still not answered after 16 years. The hubby who looked over my shoulder to read this just said ‘yeah, you wouldn’t die, but I honestly wouldn’t’. Growing up in Warsaw, thirty 5-litre bottles would be delivered every other month and the biggest chore for me and my brother was to carry them all into the house because we’d find them dumped at the bottom of the porch one random morning. You don’t leave twenty bottles of water in the lawn with the tigermum prowling in the kitchen. So my brother and I would compete whoever can carry in more at once and we’d hobble in and out carrying 6 bottles at once (30kg); and of course the next day we’d wake up and feel all the muscles in our arms torn and absolutely refuse to go to school. (Then we’d spend the free day swinging broomsticks ‘lightsabres’ and end up being schooled by mother with one, or both.) I guess my point is, 30L is undoubtedly a hell of an ordeal to transport for an average person, but get this, through Giorgio Armani’s Acqua For Life campaign, one ‘like‘ will deliver 50L of safe water to those in real need. So unhide yo
kids, yo wife, and yo husband and tell them to get clicking. Unless you’re planning on doing it personally (and challenging airport security with 50L of water in your suitcase on your way to Bolivia) a click will do.
these pictures are so inspiring!
stunning shots, so so gorge

Ahhh this post reminds me of Chanel SS, all the photos are soooo pretty! Def with you on the water front, I once drank tap water on a visit to India-going through my “I’m-gonna-do-whatever-I-like” phase and was sick for the rest of my trip. Ima get clicking now! xx
Had no idea tapwater wasn’t good to be drunk in Warsaw. Who knew…Well, you obviously. And all the people living there, probably. But not me. Already clicked the like! Hope this makes a difference..

Beautiful photos, as always. And I totally google drinking water conditions when I travel too… here in Canada we’re pretty lucky to be able to drink from the tap.

luckily, in my city, there are several brands of water who produce water from the mountain. we have to buy so we can drink fresh water everyday. :)
because we can’t drink from tapwater like u said. if we can, we have to heat the water before we drink it.
These pics are all so great! I love the dip dyed shirt

Such an inspiring and beautiful set of photos Shini. I love what you did with the second image, love all the dramatic landscapes and LOVE that We Are Handsome swimsuit. zOMG I am all about novelty one pieces right now.
This is an awesome cause to support. Very worthy blog post. xx
Such inspiring photos for such a great cause! “Like”
haha you’re so funny shini! i love your humour in all your posts and your pictures are absolutely beautiful. I think the swish of the white wedding-like dress is so similar to the white foamy splashes of the waters in your last picture. the one piece is perfect, i would never touch a bikini again if i had that.

Ah, that Phillip Lim shirt! Almost bought the dip-dye sleeveless t-shirt version of it the other month, only put off by the fact that my upper arms looked like two potatoes stitched together…
so wunderbar!

There’s been a lot of rain in my city that caused near floodings, so it reminds me of that sometimes but other than that, it gives suhc a refreshing feeling most of the time! your beautiful photography always steals the limelight Shini.
those shoes in the fifth picture- are they by Alexander McQueen? pure adoration.

Love the fact that Nature is the ultimate inspiration.
Love the aquatics and the top. The most beautiful colour always comes from the sea.
