The LA Files

Dive into Summer . . . 

toes in the sand, watermelon kisses, partying till sunrise, margaritas in hand, tan lines, salty skin, summertime is just around the corner. 

With summer sunshine comes a new day to day uniform, primarily consisting of short flowy dresses that twirl along with the warm tradewinds, jean cuttoffs that are thrown on on your way to the beach or dressed up with wedges for a night of dancing with friends, and a pair of statement sunnies that compliment any look. Yet amongst all the fun of a new summer wardrobe the bikini becomes the southern Californian go to outfit as the weather heats up. As our agenda is taken over with pool parties at the Roosevelt, sunsets at the Bungalow and days spent at Zuma beach, everyone of us needs a new bikini to make us feel confident and flirty and most importantly to show off to our followers in our instagram posts.

Check below for my list of must have Summer 2014 bikini’s that will make you shine bright in this Hollywood sunlight. 

MONDAY SWIMWEAR

 Designed by the ultimate bikini babes Tash Ockley and Devin Brugman of the popular blog A Bikini A Day, this line is everything you could ever want in a bikini. With vibrant hues in reds and blues, black and white color blocking, and classic shapes, these two beautiful women created a line of swimwear as stunning as the beauty they radiate. Check out their first collection at the SwimSpot boutique at the Santa Monica Place Mall.

Like I always say, if there is anyone who knows Southern Californian style it's Planet Blue. With their first ever swim collection debuting this year, these sporty chic pieces are sure to sell out fast, so don't miss your chance!

BEACH RIOT x STONE_COLD_FOX
