Cherry Red Brazilian Bikini from Indie Lust

Apparently, I can be a bikini model even though I don't have much in terms of curve-aciousness. I met with Teresa and her team from Indie Lust in Corona Del Mar to shoot a few bikini looks with photographer Jeff Sibal. Here's the first look featuring a simple front, yet, smoldering back-ruched bikini. I love the rich red hue and simple details such as the skinny straps and scrunch-butt back. It also gives me the look like I have a tush! Who knew?! Shop the 'Sierra' Bikini here! With everyone almost being back in school, I feel that we have entered the Indian Summer phase, so I'm going to enjoy that last bit of summer before it officially is 'Fall'. Come to this End of Summer event that I'm hosting with style + beauty expert Emily Loftiss at B.Candy if you're in OC or the surrounding turf!

Pooside with a Tide & Pool Towel & Rove Bottle

After a bike ride on an Irvine trail with my new Americano Three Women's City Bike, I rode it over to the pool and laid out a super colorful, and vibrant 'Tidal' towel from Tide & Pool (that I had received at the Endless Summer Soiree) for some poolside lounging. I wore my Indie Lust Alexandra macrame bikini top and bottom while enjoying a watermelon slice and watermelon infused water in my Rove 'Tritan' Flavor Infuser bottle.

Endless Summer Soiree, Los Angeles

Last Thursday, Jen and I headed up to LA to attend the Endless Summer Soiree (thanks for the invite Kristen). While taking in the surrounding LA city sights as the sun set, guests also got to enjoy the lounge area, take a dip in the pool, or complimentary manicures. Craft cocktails were provided by and in partnership with Diabolo mixed with Ole Smokey Moonshine & Pura Vida Tequila; appetizers were made on-site by a private chef, and clothing worn by some of the bloggers and influencers in attendance were provided by Rue58. Guests got to take home a Tide & Pool Towel, Diabolo sunglasses, and K-Swiss shoes. Stay tuned for pics using my Tide & Pool towel and wearing my K-Swiss shoes, also enjoy the rest of summer!

Sara Happ and Sugarfina Summer Celebration in Beverly Hills

Sara Happ hosted a Summer Celebration at candy store Sugarfina in Beverly Hills in which guests enjoyed sweets (of course), cocktails by Purity Vodka, and Sara Happ lip scrubs and touch ups by Glam Squad. I enjoyed a watermelon mojito while perusing Sugarfina's shelves and what seemed like endless displays of the most beautiful gourmet sweets. Owners Rosie and Josh travel the world to bring the latest, greatest, and sweetest candies to their shops. Sara Happ is the creator of the cult classic, The Lip Scrub, and her various lip scrubs combined on display among the candy created a very delectable and inviting surrounding (I didn't want to leave, but did get maxed out on sweets).
