Nothing like a Cabana day to cool off on the hot afternoons. I mix matched my bikini with a top from Victoria’s Secret (lavender bottoms from Toxic Sadie. White bottoms from KW) Then I paired my suit with a kimono from Francesca’s.

I love you, Summer
Ahhh, summer don’t leave us! I can’t believe it’s already September and the fall/winter season is among us! (Unless you are one of our readers from the other side of the globe, you are saying hello to Spring right about now). I have to say as much as I love autumn and Halloween and pumpkin scented everything, I am not ready to say goodbye to pool days, bikinis, and sun bathing. My favorite thing about summer has always been the warm nights. Something about that is just so magical to me…
I also can never get enough of the beautiful beaches in Orange County. San Clemente is such a wonderful spot and I think it’s the only part of O.C. that rains ;P
Here are some little pieces of paradise and enjoy your Labor Day, everyone!

Up in a Tree
Summer is still burning and that’s okay, because I have so many dresses in my closet I still love to wear! O’Neill is such an inspiring brand to me because of how the company pushes positivity and adventurous sides of life. If you have a chance to check out O’neill Women’s Instagram page I strongly suggest it…you will be tempted to snag a few bikinis, a sundress, and hop on a jet to a tropical island somewhere. They were kind enough to send me this beautiful maxi dress that I really adore! The retro paisley pattern, and slits on each side made me feel like a boho queen while I ventured around San Juan Capistrsano.
This park was so beautiful and had certain views that made me think of Scotland (cool, right?). I of course had to climb a tree and lose myself in the absolute beauty of everything.

Bass You Can Feel
Alright music lovers, I have a little treasure for you who love bass as much as I do. When listening to music, having headphones with quality bass actually make you feel like you are in the middle of a concert. These specific headphones use an individually powered second driver instead of fake digital processing for the sound so it’s bass you can FEEL. It gives listening to your favorite music a whole different meaning and really got me amped up (perfect for when you’re out on a run).
They come in 10 different colors and the price on them is amazing for what you get.

Mermaid X Forever
“Mermaid”
Since I was a little kid I always wanted to be one…beautiful creatures who get to live in the water? Sign me up! I really have been liking all the fun beanies I have seen recently with sassy sayings on them or a simple word. 1 Vintage Soul is a fun little boutique that has plenty of beanies for you to sport for whatever mood you are in and of course, the mermaid one was my favorite 😉
If you find yourself loving one from their store, enter code “KRISLUV” and get 10% off all beanies. Sweet deal!

Let Me Tell You a Story
There once was a girl who loved cutesy boutiques so much. One day she stumbled upon Irene’s Story, a chic little store in the heart of downtown Huntington Beach. With all it’s charm and all her delight, she felt as if it was the perfect fit.
Hi all, going off a recent post about this fab boutique I come to you with my next outfit post from Irene’s Story. I found a farming black and white floral dress and grabbed one of their flowy shirts to try on over it, I was smitten! I enjoy shopping here because the store is right by the beach and in the middle of all the HB chaos it brings a little shabby feel to the area (there threads are also wallet friendly!) I strolled roof top at the Hollywood tower with Cass and we shot this outfit before grabbing dinner at Franklin & Co. What do you all think?

Meet Me by the Reef
Hollywood is such a fun city, if you know the right places to go. I love visiting the city because it feels so different compared to Orange County. I spent my day with Cass as we floated around the Hollywood tower snapping some photos, & enjoying the panoramic view of the Hollywood sign and Griffith observatory. We are so excited that our friends from Bollare sent over some Reef shoes to us this summer! These are the flip flops I picked out, super comfy and convenient with a cute little print.

Roses in the Wild
I enjoy summer so much, especially going on walks with my mother around the neighborhood. We enjoy the beauty in the backyard and point out the importance of every flower. If we could walk around all day just exploring then I’m sure we would.
In Huntington Beach right downtown there is a cute little boutique called Irene’s Story that I stumbled upon and really loved. Their clothes are trendy with a boho feel while being reasonably priced compared to the other boutiques around them. This dress is perfect for a summer night out, to church, tea with your friends, or walking around with your mom 🙂 Be sure to stay tuned for more outfit posts featuring Irene’s Story!

Saltwater Room
I think it’s obvious I love bikinis and I dig the fact that I pretty much get to live in one out here in SoCal. What’s a special gem is when I find an amazing one piece suit. They are great for surfing if you’re going to ditch the wetsuit (especially because I’m always concerned that my bikini top will fly off. 😛 ) Of course Hurley never fails when it comes to swim wear so I was extremely happy when they sent over this white and black number. It’s also pretty rad that the inside lining is leopard print so when it gets wet you can see the cool pattern.

Feelin’ Boho Blu
How is everyone enjoying June so far? I love summer wardrobe and fashion so much because of how simple it is. I basically live in dresses and rompers and really love this specific one from BohoBlu. I’m usually too tall for rompers leaving me sad that I can’t sport most of them so I was thrilled when BohoBlu sent me one that was long enough to make the perfect fit!
