All Wrapped Up

February 17, 2015Leave a comment

Throwing it back to White Sands (again 🙂 haha). Just me enjoying the sun just before it set over the mountains while wrapped up in a warm blanket. I’ve been in the beginning stages of planning another trip here soon, the ones I do have planned aren’t until the start of summer and I want to sneak in a get away before then! I’m thinking either Florida, the Carolinas, maybe back to California, or keep it close and go explore Austin. Till then I’ll just reminisce over here about this sandy escape. ❤

& Beach

October 14, 2014Leave a comment

Ahh, it’s hard to complain about anything when I am in my favorite bikini, hanging by the pool, and enjoying a frozen drink. I don’t see the trend of Brazilian bikinis slowing down anytime soon so if you still don’t have one I suggest checking out Bossa and Beach! I got to meet the founder, Vanessa, in the midst of a long boarding sesh while in Manhattan Beach and she brought along with her a few bikinis for me to try out. I loved the yellow bandeau top and it’s bright pop of color.

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. 😉 xokris

So, as soon as I saw this awesome bikini from Toxic Sadie I knew it was made for me. It’s psychedelic pattern and sexy front cross tie with embellished bottoms were calling my name. I had a fun jam session in Laguna Beach while enjoying the new suit…(It even comes with caution tape for how hott you will look 😉 ) Check out their other swimwear too! Affordable luxury is my favorite.

Basta Surfin’

For those of you that are in SoCal…you are probably making all of your out of state friends jealous with how amazing the weather has been. I really had a good time trying out my Basta Surf bikinis and especially loved them because they are perfect to wear under a wetsuit. I wore mine around Huntington Beach and loved the light, soft feel of them.

Runaway to the Sand

December 26, 2013Leave a comment

Being the bikini connoisseur I am, I always love a new suit to wear while laying out and get minimal tan lines. I teamed up with TeenyB Bikini and was so impressed with the suits they sent over. They are so comfortable and had me feeling like a summer goddess when I tried them out by the 17th street tower in HB. Keep an eye out for more posts in their awesome bikinis! For the daring girl who likes the Brazilian styles that echo a Hawaiian surfer feel, these 2 are my favorites 🙂

Doin’ it Right

December 3, 2013Leave a comment

I love going to Corona Del Mar because of all the amazing hidden coves and crashing water in the tide pools. I had so much fun exploring the spot I frequently go to while trying out my new Gemelli bikini. Hot pink=a smile on my face. I cruised with the windows down while jamming ‘Doin’ it Right’ by Daft Punk and thought about how blessed I was this season. Hope you are all having a great Holiday season so far. 😉

Dream a Little Dream

November 23, 20132 Comments

Hot and then cold, the days have been bipolar recently here in Huntington Beach. We had a good streak of sunshine days and then got hit with a few cold rainy ones. On the days the sun makes its appearance I am taking delight in hanging out in the rays. I ventured over to Corona Del Mar recently and wandered around the giant rocks. I was sent this beautiful suit from Lady Lux that fit me perfectly. The colors are a autumn neutral with a pop of purple, great for all skin colors.

Victoria’s Secrets & Salt Kisses

November 12, 20132 Comments

I haven’t been able to get enough of Laguna Beach recently and have been in the water more this fall then I was all summer it seems (no complaints). I try to never get used to the fact that I live so close to the beach so that I never lose sight of the beauty that I am blessed enough to be surrounded by. I still am so thrilled that I got to collaborate with Victoria’s Secret on some of my own person styles in their swimwear. If you didn’t see my first post on them you can check it out here. My collection of their bikinis is growing and I blame it on their wide selection of amazing designs!
