vamos a la playa!

starting monday my career continues and my unexpected summer vaca will end, its bittersweet. since im about to part with this unprecedented freedom ive been living it up and playing as much as possible. today (thur), despite the overcast weather we decided on a beach day and luckily upon our arrival the sun was shining and the sky was crystal blue. we packed a picnic at bay cities, soaked up the sun, splashed around in the water and napped in the sand. beach days are my favorite, how can you not love them?

bathing suit top: victorias secret
bathing suit bottom: j. crew (i never actually wear matching tops and bottoms)
sunglasses: forever
hat: loehmans
as a cover up i pulled up a high waisted american apparel skirt just below my bikini top so it sort of, kind of, not really looked like a dress.

I love your fedora!

I'm just like you, I don't think I have any matching bikini tops and bottom. I want that top you have though, but the Victoria Secrets nearby have poor collections of swimwear.

ps; Did you know that I just found out that "la playa" means beach? My friend has something about that on Facebook and I thought he was saying he was saying he has a "player" haha. You learn something new everyday [:

So glad to know you are ok, happy and smiling! Looking so good, and I love that you mismatched the top&bottom.

Hi,

Very nice beauty blog you have here. Found your blog after searching information for makeup reviews. Thanks for the great information!

My name is Irene and I'm involved in an online beauty community website called http://www.ColorMeGorgeous.com. I was hoping that you would have a minute to check out the site and perhaps if you liked what you saw... write about it on your blog?

I may be going out on a limb by asking you for promotional help through your blog, but I hope you find ColorMeGorgeous.com to be as news worthy/helpful as I perceive it to be. There's still a lot of work to be done with it, but I'm working on it. It's hard to compete when you're a small fish in a huge sea with huge sites like MUA and the likes, but I do what I can :) My favorite part of the site is the 'critic's corner' where members can review or read up on various product reviews for makeup and skincare. Then there's always the forum, the photo gallery, the ask a makeup artist page, etc.

Thanks for your time :)

Best,
Irene
