If
you follow me on social media, you'll know that my birthday was last
week! I turned 19 years old. To celebrate on one of my last days in
California, I hit the beach with some friends. We went to Santa Cruz,
about an hour and a half south of Berkeley. Between the tanning,
swimming, and boardwalk rides, it was a really fun time. I wore one of
my favourite brands of bikinis- Triangl Swimwear. If you don't know
about Triangl, they are an Australian company who sells neoprene
bikinis, the material that wetsuits are made of. I do a full review on
another style of their bikinis here.
Here, I am wearing the Chloe top in Malibu Blue and the Ollie Penny
Wanderlust bottoms both in size small. I chose to wear the Ollie bottoms
because they fit snugly and securely, don't gape at all, and were not
likely to come off in the waves. I love the bright colour of this
bikini, and how sturdy the material is. I never once worried about a
wardrobe malfunction. One thing that has to be noted is that the bottoms
kind of collect water in the bum, and you have to let it out every time
you get out of the water. It wasn't a huge hassle, but definitely
something to think about.
The
next day, I met up with one of my sorority sisters in the city (San
Francisco) for an extended birthday brunch. It was such a beautiful day
and warm in SF so I decided to go sleeveless. Here, I'm wearing a dress
that was a birthday present from Francesca's. I absolutely love the
colour. It's kind of a periwinkle colour and is quite unique. The lace
layers make it look so delicate and sophisticated, while not being over
the top. I feel like I could wear this dress casually, or to a more
semi-formal event if I paired it with some heels and pearls. For shoes,
I'm wearing a pair of gladiator snakeskin patterned sandals from Vince
Camuto. They are really comfy and I thought the white colour would
brighten up my look for summer. Finally, I grabbed my favourite
Longchamp Le Pliage small tote. This bag is the perfect size for me to
carry my camera, wallet, phone, and a light sweater. It has quickly
become a staple in my wardrobe and is definitely a good investment.
