vamos a la playa

I'm currently writing this post in the middle of a snowstorm. Its almost April and there's a snowstorm. Words cannot express how sick I am of winter. If you're like me and don't live in summerland (i.e. California or Hawaii), I suppose there are ways for us to channel the amazingness of being on a beautiful, warm beach. The above four things may help:

Spritz some Beach by Bobbi Brown (on your skin and/or around your apartment). This eau de parfum smells like saltwater, sand and sun. It is literally the beach in a bottle.

Slip on a bikini, like the Melissa Obadash Sao Paulo bikini (above), and watch a young and yummy Leo in The Beach cavort around shirtless on the gorgeous beaches of the Phi Phi Islands (Koh Phi Phi), Thailand. I might actually watch this today to try and forget about snowmageddon happening outside.

And lastly, a chic beach bag by Michael Michael Kors that can easily double as a city bag.

If I could choose only one outfit to wear all summer, this would definitely be it. Love the small details (distressed collar, rolled short, braided belt, detail on sunglasses). Pure perfection.

sunny

Its almost blasphemous that I haven't been to the beach yet this summer. The long weekend is supposed to be sunny and hot so I'm going to try and make it.

neutrals

dance baby

I love how she's wearing the bottom half of a majorette's costume from the '50s, but she makes it work as a cool summer festival look by pairing it with a casual white tee, layered chain necklaces and a brown leather satchel.

in the heat

I wear my hair like this on days when its too hot and muggy to even think about using a straightening iron. Its a great way to (somewhat) tame a messy 'do.
