Reach Higher, Hold Tighter

Gooooood morning, lovely people 🙂 Wake up, stretch out, and lets go outside! It’s been beautiful here in SoCal so I’ve been soaking up all the sun I can. One of my favorite spots to go to is in Corona Del Mar called “Little Corona”. It’s a little piece of heaven and the perfect place to test out my new Hurley workout threads. I really love their gear because it’s so lightweight and soft. For me, I like exercising in material that isn’t too heavy or loose so this is the perfect get up for girls who love yoga, stand up paddle boarding, or pilates. Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset

Sunday Pineapple Day

 

Hello from sunny Corona Del Mar 😉 This is number 2 on my list of favorite beaches in Orange County for so many reasons. The view walking down to the sand is amazing, there’s tons of fun rocks to climb on, and the water is so blue. I headed down there in my new bikini from Eidon Surf and I was so happy with how perfectly it fit my curves. It has a rad design, covers you in all the right places, and the top offers some support. Bonus!…Also, a fresh pine apple is the perfect add on to any beach day. 😉Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset IMG_8523 Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset xokris

San Juan Sand Fun

Hello, loves. There is something to me that is so endearing when it comes to exploring new places. I think it reminds me of when I was a kid with my brothers, pretending everything we found was a new land that needed to be explored…Lucky for me I still have that sense of adventure and become completely humbled when I find these new lands I’ve never discovered. San Juan Capistrano definitely has some unique beauty to it where I tossed on my Vestique sundress and channeled some inner hippie vibes. Check out all their other amazing clothes perfect for all your summer adventures 😉_MG_5815 copy _MG_5836 copy _MG_5879 copy _MG_5821 copy _MG_5918 copyxokris

April Showers…

 

Ahh, California sunshine in the middle of April…couldn’t get any better. I’ve been exploring more different boutiques and I must say I love what I am finding. Magnolia Boutique sent me this beautiful maxi skirt that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on. The colors, the print, and the softness were all enough to make me fall in love. This skirt would be perfect for the beach, a stroll downtown, church, out for brunch, and on date night. Keep your eyes peeled for more outfits from this awesome store! 😉Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

We’re Burning all the Bridges

 

Happy April! There’s always so much beauty to be explored and that’s just what happened at Casper’s Nature Park in San Juan. Aside from the massive amounts of squirrels and occasional prickly plants this place was amazing. There are horses, wide open fields, and fun trees to climb in 😉 I suggest everyone makes a pit stop here this Spring! I am getting more into drape skirts with their asymmetrical look and dress up or down capability. I wear mine with heels as well as my chucks. Furor Moda has beautiful skirts that you can check out here._MG_6050 copy _MG_6117 copy _MG_6092 copy _MG_6136 copy _MG_5980 copyxokris

Birds Do Sing

I’m very excited to release my new song “Birds Do Sing”

I wrote and recorded this song at my home in Huntington Beach and filmed some of my favorite things around my neighborhood for a feel good video. 🙂

Beauty & the Beach

 

Im getting a little more into crochet lately so I was really excited when I saw all the options from Beauty and the Beach (sweet Disney reference, anyone?) They have great bikinis plus the crochet cover ups which I adored for strolls along the water. What do you guys think? Would you sport a crochet style?Processed with VSCOcam with t1 preset

This cover up ties in the front but I loved how it looked tied in the back for a few of these photos 😉Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset Kristen_Sycamore_Beach_FInal_MG_1490 DSC_0697

I loved the colors in this bikini so much. A pop of color under a white cover up looks awesome.Kristen_Sycamore_Beach_FInal_MG_1459

Hello from Sycamore Beach

I think it’s obvious I am a sucker for a sundress. I love the maxi styles, flowy and flowery. I always fall in love with new beach spots where I can explore on the rocks and soak in the fact that I am blessed to live here. I ventured over to Sycamore Beach with a pal of mine where I donned some new styles that you should pick up for this Spring.

Daydreamin’

 

Daydreamin of how close summer is I can taste it. I threw on my Supercolour crop and Wonderland Honolulu shorts for a perfect combo of California class. I also found a great top from Wonderland Honolulu that goes great over a bikini with it’s sheer back and fun front pattern. If you’re looking for your new summer season threads hit up both of these stores and prepare to fall in love!
