Swimsuit Season

♫ Bay Ledges- Safe ♫

Wearing:

Rose Gal one-piece swimsuit

Vintage Lee's denim shorts

Heavenly Couture straw hat

H&M mirrored sunnies (super old)

Thrifted straw bag

Zara sandals

I can't believe summer is pretty much here, which means swimsuit season is also here! I recently received this super cute floral halter one-piece swimsuit from Rose Gal, I absolutely love the design, the muted earthy colors, and print. I also love the fabric it seems like it is made out of a mix of polyester and the top part of it feels like a soft chiffon sheer material...which is pretty interesting for a bathing suit. I'm not really into halter tops or dresses but this bathing suit's halter top style definitely won me over! I also love the vintage/boho vibes this swimsuit gives off which is what I've been into lately. Besides one-pieces I've also really been into high waisted bathing suits lately because I feel like they flatter my body shape better.

What are your favorite current swimsuit styles? :)

Summer Feels

♫ Zella Day- Man on the Moon ♫

Wearing:

RoseGal floral printed kimono

Lee's vintage denim shorts

Thrifted straw bag

Zara sandals

Anneise hair barrette

UO sunnies

It's been feeling like summer these last couple of days, we randomly had like 90 degree weather this past weekend so I finally got a chance to wear my usual summer uniform which is usually a lightweight top, denim shorts, sandals, and a straw bag.

For that extra boho touch I added this RoseGal printed kimono which I just received. I absolutely love the navy color, the print, and the lightweight fabric which can be worn all summer long with dresses or over a bathing suit too! It automatically makes any basic outfit stand out and it looks cute opened or tied in a knot, like I did here, for more of chic yet casual look. What do you guys think?

Hope you guys enjoy your day! :)

Under the Jacaranda Tree

♫ Mesita- All Out in the Open ♫

Wearing:

Haute Couture jacket

Thrifted tee and belt

J Brand Jeans

Sam Edelman sandals

Marloe tote bag

UO sunnies

One of my favorite things about May are these lovely Jacaranda trees blooming everywhere! It's a lovely sight really. Although this was a random parking lot it still had this super cute baby Jacaranda tree and of course I had to snap some pics with it haha. After all that winter rain you just can't help but notice all the beautiful flowers and trees blooming everywhere...nothing compared to last year!

It's been a pretty busy and stressful week but I'm so glad the weekend is finally here! I don't have much planned this weekend other than maybe going to LA with friends but other than that just planning to lounge around and catch up with family :)

Any fun weekend plans for you guys?

Happy weekend!

Abbot Kinney Vibes

♫ Matt Costa- Good Times ♫

Wearing:

Shein fringe kimono

Crossroads Trading Co top

Anneise rope necklace

UO sunnies

F21 lounge pants

Madewell sandals

Thrifted straw bag

Although overrated I still love playing tourist in Abbot Kinney. This is probably one of my favorite spots to chill at whenever I'm in Venice Beach, I just love exploring all the little hidden gems and art street murals around Abbot Kinney. There is so much art, diversity, and some of the best restaurants, concept stores, and cafes around there. You may even be lucky and bump into a couple celebs or bloggers while there, I always happen to recognize someone or spot some fashion bloggers since I guess it's always "happening" in Abbot Kinney haha.

Some of my favorite stops in Abbot Kinney are BURRO, Gjelina, The Butcher's Daughter, Tumbleweed and Dandelion, Shuhari Matcha Cafe, and a bunch of other concept stores! It's so hard not to get lost in my own little world while window shopping and browsing through all the cute shops there!

Which ones are your fave?
