We’re so excited to be teaming up with one of our favorite fellow SoCal brands, Gorjana & Griffin, for a Facebook giveaway of 10 fab packages of summer essentials! Each package is valued at over $500 and includes a bikini from L*SPACE, along with a summer arm party, canvas tote, scarf, leather sandals from Gorjana & Griffin. We’d be lying if we said we weren’t bummed that we can’t win these extra-rad prize packages ourselves.

The giveaway ends tomorrow (Friday, May 24) at 11pm PST, so make haste over to the link below to enter via Facebook – good luck, everyone!

Slow breathing by Samantha French

We recently came across the Etsy shop of painter Samantha French and are seriously digging how she captures sun-dappled light on the bodies of swimmers. Totally evocative of lazy summer days spent floating in the pool and diving for quarters, Samantha’s paintings are a gorgeous reminder of the simple pleasure of a cold pool on a hot afternoon.
