If American model Emily Ratajkowski is anything to go by, then sun, sea and a lavish yacht are all the ingredients of a quintessential A-list summer.
The 35-year-old catwalk queen showed off her modellesque physique in a killer photo you may have missed from her recent trip away.
The dazzling photograph in question was a candid shot of the mother-of-one, taking in the scorching summer sunshine, as she lay on the top deck of an exquisite-looking vessel, rocking a mismatched bikini set.
Her hair drenched from the salty sea water, Emily looked her usual flawless self as she pouted for the camera, rocking her trademark eye makeup and nude blurry lip combination.
"The summer I finally read Ferrante (it’s all I want to talk about)," she penned in the caption.
"Gorgeous," one of Emily's 27.7 million followers penned in the comments alongside a string of red love heart emojis.
"You are illegal," another added alongside a string of flame emojis. A third replied simply, writing: "Gorgeous" alongside love heart emojis.
Emily's vacation wardrobe
We'd be lying if we said this was the first look from Emily's epic trip that has left us besotted.
Another photo in the update saw the former Marc Jacobs starlet slip into a polkadot beach ensemble of dreams featuring another killer two-piece.

She added a pair of cream linen trousers adorned with large brown polkadots - a winning combination.

While it's hard to imagine the model - who rose to fame in 2013 - having nothing short of unwavering confidence, she previously admitted that it isn't always as easy to harness stalwart self-esteem as it may seem.
Talking to Glamour, Emily said: "I have days when I literally cannot look in the mirror because I am sick of myself. I don’t like how I look, or I want to change certain things about myself. We are stuck inside one body, we can't see ourselves, and we have no perspective on it."
"You need to separate yourself from the feedback because as soon as you give weight to the positive, it’s hard to differentiate from the negative. The comments and the number of likes shouldn’t be what defines your confidence; it should come from you enjoying yourself."
