BEACH BOUND

Ah, it's been so hot in LA lately, it literally feels like you're melting every time you step outside. After spending a few days running from one air-conditined area to the next, we decided enough is enough and run off to Malibu for the rest of this week to enjoy a much more habitable weather! Malibu tends to run a few degrees cooler that the rest of the city, so it's been absolutely amazing to be able to venture outside without feeling like you stepped into a sauna:) 

It took us exactly half a day to become complete and total beach bums! I am pretty sure I haven't left the house wearing anything other than a bikini and a cover up since we got here! The cute Tiare Hawaii cover up & fringed perfection of a bikini I am wearing in today's post are my particular favorites! You know me, I love soft colors, and these water-colored pieces are so pretty and have such a relaxed and easy vibe! My poor feet are getting some well-deserved rest as well! I spend the past fews days walking around bare feet or wearing these comfy studded flat sandals! Guess I should give my heels a break a bit more often, cause this is heaven!:)

One of the things I like best about California, is that just when you think you've seen everything and been everywhere, you discover a completely new spot unlike anything you've ever experienced. Most of the time, when Emil and I go to Malibu, we head on over to one of our regular spots, but a few weeks ago a friend recommended El Matador beach and since we felt like trying something new we decided to give it a shot. Much less crowded and much more secluded than most beaches around Malibu, we fell in love with El Matador from the first moment we saw it! We stayed for 2 entire days, doing nothing more than swimming, boogie boarding and working on our tans. Getting our buts back to the city and reality was certainly a very rude awakening:) Don't you sometimes wish Summer lasted for ever...?
