Rihanna's Swan Float Is A Summer Must Have
With summer officially here and the weather getting super hot, most people are starting to hit up the pool or beach for the first time this season. Celebs are no exception, and Memorial Day weekend brought lots of vacation pics. Some celebs are still vacationing, including Rihanna, whose swan float she posted on Snapchat is bound to be a summer staple. The singer posted several Snapchats from her account Wednesday of her floating in a pool on a giant patterned swan float (someone else was videoing). So where do you buy Rihanna's swan float? I've got the answer.
The pool float Rihanna posted on Snapchat is the Gray Malin x Funboy collection float, and it's available for preorder on the Gray Malin website. The official ship date is soon — June 7. In case you're not familiar with Malin, he's a photographer who's known for his iconic photos of beaches, including his famous photo of Australia's Bondi Beach, which is what's on the float Rihanna managed to get before the official release date. (Are you surprised?)
The float is limited edition, and the print was hand silk-screened onto the vinyl. Sounds pretty chic, right? Here's Rihanna floating on it.
How amazing is it? And it's surprisingly big.
And here's another shot (with the gorgeous pool Rihanna was floating in). Can I join her on vacation like, right now?

Here's the official version Rihanna's floating on, which is totally amazing. What a fun way to have a piece of Malin's photography.
But if the $128 price tag is a little out of your budget (or you just can't wait until June 7 to get your own), here are four swan float alternatives that won't break the bank.
Swan Pool Float, $48, Urban Outfitters
This Urban Outfitters version of the famous swan float isn't too expensive at $48, and it features a classic white swan look.

Another affordable option, this one from Amazon is your basic swan float, but at less than $35, it's really inexpensive. Add this to your list if you're on a budget.
