Mint is one of my favorite colors for Spring. It’s refreshing and cool tone is a wonderful way to break away from the dull, monotonous colors of winter. But it’s not just this fabulous shade that has me gaga for this swimsuit. It’s level of comfort far exceeds the semi-suggestive look of it and as many of you already know, I’m a sucker for versatility. When en route to the beach, I just so happened to wear a grey v-neck maxi dress over the bikini, creating a fun, contrasting mesh of criss cross design to my ensemble, whilst offering a bit of support for the ‘girls’ as well. All around perfect for summer vacations, afternoons by the pool, trips to the beach and catching the eye of that really cute guy sitting a few beach chairs away.

Coachella Style Inspiration
With the Coachella lineup recently unveiled, hippie fever in LA is just around the corner. I’ve yet to experience this ever-evolving festival, despite my annual insistent cry that, “this year is the year!” I don’t think I’ll feel like a true Californian until that fateful day but somehow I always seem to miss the 10 second window available to purchase tickets. Maybe the universe isn’t ready for me just yet, but I’ll be ready for it!
The whole bohemian vibe has always felt second nature to me but only recently did I discover SOAH (Soul of a Hippie) and Old Gringo Boots and the two of them just so happen to pair perfectly. Obsession isn’t a strong enough word to describe the intense and semi-irrational love I have for these brown fringe boots. You can practically pair them with anything. This bohemian style dress by SOAH was the perfect thing to throw on with them. I really liked the kaleidoscopic print but the low cut, open back is what I adore. There’s something subtly sweet yet sensual about a bare back. With so much going on with the boots and dress, I kept the jewelry to a minimum. You might notice in the pictures that I switched out the jewelry to show different options. Leather bracelets always compliment an outfit like this but if you prefer something a little more edgy, try adding some chunky sterling silver or turquoise in the mix. You may also want to consider bringing a net…you know, in case you happen to see Jared Leto walking around. Just saying…

Newport Beach Casual Afternoon Outfit
Location: Balboa Island, Newport Beach, CA.
Boots by Old Gringo Boots
Special thanks to CLD Style House
Let me start by saying that Balboa is quite the charming little island in Newport Beach. The community is accessible by a 3 car ferry boat and consists of a handful of quaint streets lined with waterside luxury cottages. In the center lies the main shopping strip, noticeably boasting multiple frozen banana pop shops and stores filled with random trinkets. It was the perfect crisp afternoon to take these boots for a go and do a little sightseeing.

Beach Day in Akumal

Bikini by Siempre Golden
Special Thanks to CLD
After much anticipation, it was refreshing to step off the plane in Cancun with a burst of humid air sweeping over my airport chilled bones. Over the course of the past year, I’d heard a lot about this budding new town called Tulum. Located in the Yucatan peninsula, it had a similar vibe to much of the Mexico I know closer to home in California, only this seemed to have a bit more mysticism in the air. The history of the Mayan empire fascinated me and I couldn’t wait to explore the ruins as well as the cenotes. If you’ve never heard of a cenote, I highly recommend you google it.
Amongst other activities, I was eager to find the best tacos in town (which I did) and visit the beautiful beaches of Tulum and Akumal. Unfortunately, the saying is true, “If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plan”. It down poured 4 out of the 5 days throughout my trip. I wasn’t able to visit the ruins or the cenotes as planned. Instead, I used the only semi-sunny afternoon to race over to the beach. After all, it wouldn’t have truly felt like a trip to Mexico without at least a couple hours in my bikini, and a very cute one I might add.
After lunch at La Buena Vida, I stripped down to this incredibly feminine yet sexy floral print bikini by Siempre Golden and enjoyed the hell out of my solo sunny day. Hey, I’ll take what I can get. I was just grateful for a luminous afternoon, but you’d better believe I’ll be back for more.
