Japanese Silk

Being the beach addict I am, I'm constantly shopping for jewelry, bikinis, and cover ups!

I've recently gotten into wearing Kimonos for beach cover ups. 

I think theres something so unique about wearing a kimono over your bikini! 

Its much more fun than throwing on a t-shirt. 

I shop for vintage Japanese Kimonos. 

Most of the Japanese kimonos run large which is perfect!

They come in bright colors with gorgeous Asian prints. 

Unfortunately the vintage Japanese kimonos can get expensive,

 so I only have collected a few so far. 

When I was at Huntington beach,

 I wore my bright Fuchsia embroidered Asian robe as a cover up. 

It was gorgeous! 

This robe totally matched the Cali sunset in these photos!

It has golden floral embroidery, and a gold silk lining.

It looked great on over my bikini.

 I didn't think this kimono was going to work but it worked out great!

Boho beach style never looked so good!

Keep your Hat On!

Happy May everyone!! Summers around the corner. 

As we know, Its all about staying cool in the late spring and summer. 

It wasn't until recently that I started wearing hats to keep the sun rays off of me.. 

While I was in California in September, it was so hot on the beaches! 

Sunscreen and shades just weren't enough to keep me cool.

 Luckily,I found the cutest little hat store in Haight/Ashbury in San Francisco! 

I went in to Goorin Bros. not knowing what I was going to find. 

I tried on a few hats and fell in love with this Floppy hat!

 Its pure wool and fits so perfectly!

I'm not a big spender,but I feel that when choosing a hat for your wardrobe,

 you should invest in something a little bit more expensive. 

A good quality hat will fit better, and last years!! 

I traveled all around Cali with this hat on and took it on the plane too.

 Even after storing it for almost a year in my closet it still fits and looks beautiful! 

I'd like to get at least one or 2 more hats..

Their so much fun to wear, and really make a statement!

This summer I'd love to show you even more unique looks using more bold hats!

Summer of Love

Wedding season has approached us! 

Theres nothing I love more than a fairytale fantasy wedding.

 A lot of brides choose to have a destination wedding these days. 

The beach weddings are my favorite!

 There are so many possibilities in choosing a dress for a beach wedding. 

It could be a mini,maxi,vintage,boho,or lace dress. 

I happened to find the most beautiful beach right off of Big Sur in California! 

I don't think this beach had a name,but it was the perfect place to have a private beach wedding Ceremony. I wore this cotton crochet handkerchief hem dress that day. 

I love the design lines in this dress! Its trimmed with ribbon and has floral embroidery along the waistline. The dress doesn't even need shoes. I felt like a beach princess in this dress. 

Comfort is key on the day of your wedding. 

This dress is 100% Cotton making it great for a hot summer day. 

Make your wedding into a work of art this summer and just have fun!

Beach Daze

The summer is so close I can feel it in the air! 

 For me the summer is all about getting to that beach! 

The salt air,and cool breeze put my mind at ease after a long work week. 

I was lucky to get to visit Huntington Beach this paste September. 

I loved the surf culture at Huntington beach! 

It was so inspiring!

 While I was there I decided to put together a look inspired by the surf culture at Huntington beach.

 I happened to pack a neon green scarf crop top.

 It has a gorgeous graphic Hawaiian floral print,that was perfect for his occasion!

 I found these beautiful white rayon pants to wear with the top. 

These pants are kind of like Harem pants. 

They have a loose layer of fabric that drapes so beautifully when the wind is blowing. 

I got so many compliments on this look! 

I didn't think anybody would notice that day,but they did. 

All that was missing that day was for me to grab a surf board and go for a swim in the ocean. 

Huntington beach was by far one of my most favorite beaches I visited in California. 

I'm looking forward to going back!
