The best swimwear? The kind you forget you’re wearing.

No constant adjustment between waves, no worrying about what’s going to move when you dive under the next one. Just feeling comfortable, secure and free to enjoy being in the water. 🌊

That’s what we had in mind when we started Tamara.

We recently heard from a customer who hadn’t owned a bikini in years, and shared this review with us.

Words like this are why we do what we do. Thank you for trusting Tamara to be a part of your ocean adventures!

Turns out knowing how to surf doesn’t mean you know how to indoor surf. 😂🏄‍♀️

We gave indoor surfing a go while on holiday in France, and WOW, was it humbling.

A completely different kind of balance on the board, a lot of spectacular wipeouts, and very little time actually standing up.
After what felt like a hundred failed attempts, I finally managed to stay on my feet for a couple of lengths of the pool. Small victories!

We came out pretty bruised, thoroughly humbled, and with a whole new appreciation for how hard this actually is.

Would I do it again? Absolutely. Would I trade ocean surfing for indoor surfing? Probably not, but it was fun to try something new. 🙌

A little change from our usual salty adventures. 🌿

After Greece, it was time for some freshwater swims in the French countryside.

No waves, no salty skin. Just beautiful rivers, green surroundings, and a refreshing dip to escape the summer heat.

And yes, the Tamara togs came along for these adventures too; featuring the gorgeous in her Valentina top and Morgan bottoms. 💛

A few moments from our adventures on dry land 🇬🇷

When we weren’t sailing or snorkelling, we were exploring little villages, wandering through narrow streets, finding beautiful beaches and, inevitably, ending up back in the water.

No specific plans, no schedule. Just exploring, eating good food, and seeing where the day took us.

Greece certainly didn’t disappoint. ☀️

We spent a fair bit of our time in Greece jumping off the boat with our masks and fins, exploring whatever was underneath us.

On one of those swims, I came across this absolute beauty of a sea turtle. Almost as big as me!

I’ve spent a lot of time in the ocean, but encounters like this never get old. Probably one of my favourite moments from the whole trip. 🐢

Safe to say I was pretty stoked.

A little postcard from Greece 🇬🇷⛵️

Life slowed right down for a while. A few windy days, plenty of sunshine, endless shades of blue and a lot of time spent in the water.

Turns out living on a boat for 10 days is pretty easy to get used to.

I’m back!

After a few weeks away travelling with my family, Tamara is officially back in full swing.

We spent the last month chasing warm water, quiet anchorages and slow mornings.

It was incredibly special, but coming home has reminded me just how lucky we are to have the coastline we do here in New Zealand.

Thanks for your patience while I was away. I’m back packing orders and looking forward to sharing a few moments from the trip over the next little while. 📷

First little wave after more than 6 months off, it’s good to be back! 🌊

Winter can make it tempting to stay indoors. The days are shorter, the water is colder, and the couch often feels like the easier option. But if there’s one thing we’ve been reminded of lately, it’s that we never regret getting outside.

Whether it’s a surf, a cold swim, a walk along the coast, or simply five minutes sitting in the sun with a coffee, here’s your nudge to make a little time for nature this week. 🌿

I’ve been a little quieter on here lately; life has taken on a few different priorities over the past months.

I’m now 9 months into the journey to motherhood, and while social media has slowed down a bit, one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for the ocean: the one place where the body feels lighter and the mind quieter.

It’s also been really special testing Tamara pieces through a changing body. I’ve comfortably worn both the Matilda and Morgan styles all the way through pregnancy, still in my pre-pregnancy size thanks to the impressive stretch of the fabric, with the suits holding their shape beautifully throughout.

Next on the list: putting the June one piece to the test postpartum. A few friends have already done it during this stage of womanhood, and I’m excited to experience that support for the next phase.

There’s something really meaningful about creating swimwear that moves with women through different chapters of life. Not just holidays and summers, but growth, change, motherhood, movement, and everything in between. 🌊
