Get a Free Tee from Elephant Surf!

Add a comment

Living in SoCal we see our fair share of surf companies but Elephant Surf seems to stand out amongst the crowd. I am obsessed with their logo! I want the t-shirt below (that’s a hint Marty…) ;) Elephant Surf is a San Diego-based surf company who makes a revolutionary rash guard/compression short for surfers. Plus all of their gear is manufactured right here in Southern California. LOVES IT!

So here’s the deal - Elephant Surf is running a competition and giving away a free tee-shirt just for submitting a vote on which San Diego-themed design should be put to production. It’s THAT easy!

They offer a few different ways to vote so pick the one easiest for you:

  1. Comment on the blog
  2. Email (hey@elephantsurf.com)
  3. Twitter
  4. Facebook

I LOVE this one. What do you all think? GO VOTE and help our fellow surfers out :) XOXO


A Summer’s Must Have: Molly B Bikinis!

2 Comments

I am just completely obsessed with a new San Diego-based line of swim suits, Molly B Bikinis. I was recently sent a few samples and can’t get enough of the unique cuts, fresh colors and darling details - this summer is going to be HAUTTE! :)

What’s even more amazing about this line and the designer, Molly B Goforth, is the origination - SAN DIEGO! What more perfect of a place to start a swimsuit line, than in one of the world’s most notorious beach regions? Molly grew up on the beaches of Southern California where it was “…forbidden to wear the same bikini daily. This obsession with bikinis turned into a hobby in high school, when she designed and sewed her first bikini.” That was just the beginning.

At the start of 2009, Molly decided to launch Molly B Bikinis and has held to the vision of creating a bikini line that complemented her simple beach lifestyle. She draws inspiration for her suits from the idyllic beaches and coves in La Jolla, to the lonely, time trapped beaches of Imperial Beach. Her love of surfing has taken her to exotic places like Fiji, Costa Rica, Panama, Baja and Mainland Mexico. She designs each piece with these adventures in mind, yet offers designs for every woman and their swimwear needs. She believes every girl should have a bikini collection similar to that of their shoes and purses. AMEN, Molly! :)

Every suit is handmade in San Diego using the finest materials available. Her dream is to have a company with core values that focus on Quality, Community, Responsibility and Spontaneity.

Molly B has a beautiful story of a life long dream and love for the ocean and the pieces we wear to enjoy it! I think the cutest part about this is that Molly is just a fun, loving Southern Californian who wants to give every other SoCal gal a hot suit to play in the water in!

Please check out Molly B Bikinis at MollyBBikinis.com and get a one of a kind suit today! Become a fan on Facebook or follow her on Twitter for latest style announcements and more! Seriously, nobody will have a suit like yours this summer! Especially like the custom one she made for me for my honeymoon later this year (you can’t miss it) - check out the few pieces she sent me, below!! XOXO!

P.S. Take a look at her darling packaging AND the second suit pictured! I about died when I received it - SUPER cute!

H&M rocks it for holiday style!

3 Comments

Last night I attended Jason’s company’s holiday party. It was at his CEO’s beautiful (and I mean, beautiful) house in La Jolla, complete with door-to-door limo service, catering and a magician! It was a magical evening and I just had to share my (affordable) outfit choice & some of the darling pics from the night!

So I just have to say that if you’re looking for a fabulous holiday dress plus accessories for under $50 - go to H&M! NOW! This dress was $30 and the necklace was under $10. Out the door I spent under $50 for this outfit and will be able to wear it at least one more time to my NYE celebration in San Francisco. And I’ll probably end up wearing black tights with it to keep warm, so will generate a completely different look! Honestly, H&M totally rocks it when it comes to affordable, high fashion designs - so go buy up the store before your holiday party is here! You will be THE hottest (and smartest) fashionista this holiday season!

How to be a Total Douchebag: Wear Ed Hardy. Pretty Please.

2 Comments

OK, even if you’re not completely on the up and up with fashion, you should at least know by now that Ed Hardy stuff is OUT. Not out like “oh so last week” but out like “they sell that crap at flea markets”. Just so wrong.

Just last night I saw a guy full on sporting an Ed Hard t-shirt to a club downtown, and yes, he was completely serious. And then later that night I saw another guy in a diamond encrusted Ed Hardy trucker hat. Don’t even get me started on the trucker hat no-no, but crystals…on your HAT? Nice one, Prince.

Earth to humans - Ed Hardy is not to be worn in public. Ever. Please add Ed Hardy to your list of douchebaggery clothing options alongside Smet and Von Dutch.

And for the love of FASHION; please do NOT go out in public in Ed Hardy!! Wear your tees to bed, to the gym, or use them as a nice dusting clothe - just do not put them on your pretty little back. You’re better than that…douchebags.

XOXO
