SoCal Style: Beach Cruisin’

Being true Southern California girls, few things bring more joy to our hearts than a good candy colored beach cruiser.  Styled out with summer-ready accessories, the melon-colored Schwinn stunner we’re coveting is ready for a stylish spin on the boardwalk!

Style File: Mirrored Sunglasses

Simultaneously timeless and trendy, mirrored sunglasses have been part of the pop culture fashion zeitgeist since Maverick and Goose rocked them at Top Gun Naval Flight School. While we’ll always be suckers for the classic Ray-Ban silver mirrored aviators, we’re also majorly crushing on colored mirror lenses as a fun variations for Spring. Which do you dig – the classic silver mirrored frame, or the colored mirror varieties in these inspo images?

City to Beach: Paprika + Berry

We’ve noticed that one of our favorite spicy color combos for Spring/Summer, Paprika + Berry, has been popping up on stylish city gals as of late, and are loving how seamlessly it translates from street style to effortless beach chic.

On the Beach with: Rachel Zoe

Now, it’s no secret that we love seeing what’s in the beach bags of fashionable gals. So imagine our delight over seeing Rachel Zoe list an L*SPACE bikini  {the Ariel bandeau top + Flip bottoms, both in Charcoal} as one of her beach bag must-haves in the February 2013 issue of Coastal Living Magazine! Such a thrill to know that the ultimate fashionista is hitting the beach in our ‘kinis…as Rachel would say, “we die!”
