The Rosy Oyster

Wow where has the year gone? July has come a heck of a lot sooner than expected!

What greater way to bring in the summer season than exploring beautiful Los Angeles with Farfetch. For those of you who don't know Farfetch is an amazing online luxury retailer you must absolutely check out!

We started the day off right ... Shopping ! Loit is a brand new clothing boutique that just opened up Downtown LA filled with designers pieces to die for ! I snagged these amazing Isabel Marant platform sandals that I will be rocking all summer long in Europe!

Second stop of the day was The Rosy oyster at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. a cute little restaurant tucked away at the back of the hotel near the pool area. I was taken back at how Instagram worthy this place was! we snapped a bunch of photos while snacking on the freshest seafood you could ever taste, and oh ! not to mention we got our ears pierced . Extremely terrified , but was supper happy how it turned out !

Following the hotel we visited the Marciano Art Foundation for a private viewing of the gallery. For those of you who are into Art, there some impeccable of one - of -a -kind pieces that are just extremely captivating to the eye.

Last but not leas we finished the night off at the one and only Mama Shelter Hotel. What an amazing evening spent with some of my best blogger friends. Epic sunsets, live music, delicious foods and laughter throughout!

Thank you Farfetch for a one of a kind day !

Summer is here and if you haven't yet - it's seriously time to plan your vacation!

I am currently planning my Europe trip right now and I am so so excited - London , Barcelona , Ibiza, Mykonos and Croatia are on the list!

There's many places and cities to explore but nothing beats paradise beaches that will make your summer 2017 truly unforgettable. In the past years I have been blessed to have made these experiences and I am excited to share them with you!

1. Isla Baru, Colombia

Isla Baru is the kind of landscape you want to put on as your screensaver: The water is a light bright turquoise, the sky is blue and the sand is warm and white. It's pure paradise and I can't wait to go back!

2. Varadero, Cuba

Varadero is the largest resort in the Caribbean, it is truly impressive with over 60 hotels and a 20 km long Hicacos peninsula. It is also only a 2 hour drive to Havana, the colorful home of vintage cars and cigars.

3. Positano Beach, Italy

Positano is an enchanting cliffside village, a true dream place with its pastel colored houses.

It is also a great base for exploring Italy, only a boat travel away from Capri, Ischia and the Grotta dello Smeraldo cave.

4. Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi, Thailand

The beaches of Thailand demonstrate the tropical paradises of the far east.

Maya Bay is the stunning beach cove that served as the setting of the film The Beach.

It is by no means unchartered territory or secluded and great to make new friends from all over the world.

5. Formentera, Ibiza

Formentera is the smallest of Spain's Balearic islands and a true getaway. It is reachable by ferry from Ibiza and is great for a day-trip in the summertime.

Denim easily makes any outfit ten times better. It adds this kind of cool, laid back vibe to shirts and dresses. It tones down and styles up at the same time! As long as you don't go head-to-toe denim, iconic Britney and Justin AMAs 2001, you can't really do much wrong! I LIVE in denim if you haven't noticed ;)

Temperatures are rising and swimwear season is nearing - Ladies, bronze your legs in daring high waist silhouettes and cheeky cutout one-pieces! I love adding scarves, cute hats and jewellery to my swimwear and varying my cover-ups with t-shirts and dresses. These are my favorite swimwear trends for 2017:

High-Waist Bikini

High-waisted bikini bottoms are a real triple threat: They are stylish, give you long, sexy legs and are pretty good at hiding that food baby too. This season's two-pieces spice it up with geometric prints and mesh cut outs.

1. Mara Hoffman High Waist Triangle Top and Bottom

2. Kore Swim Eos Bikini Top and Bottom

3. Tularosa Elias Top and Bottom

One Pieces

Deemed by some as the more tame sister of the bikini, a one piece can be sexier and more sophisticated than a two piece with high legs, cut outs and thrilling prints! I am obsessed with One pieces :)

4. Indah Rainey One Piece

5. Mara Hoffman High Cut One Piece

6. Acacia Bronx One Piece

7. Lovers + Friends Good Times One Piece

Accessorize it

One small accessory can add huge style to your swimsuit. I love adding a scarf for more chic and cute cover ups and hats for both style and functionality!

8. Donni Charm Silk Bandana

9. Ettika Circle Lariat

10. Child of Wild Necklace

11. Hat Attack Hat

12. Amarillo Hoops

13. Ettika Choker

14. Beach Riot Dress

Hi guys, I'm back in LA and recovering from three weekends in a row of festivals! I had an incredible time with all my friends, amazing performances by my favorite musicians and the food was soo good. Seeing everyone rocking their own style however was my favorite part by far.

This year I wanted to add a bit of an edge to my outfits, by combining them with sturdy boots and stylish belts and shying away from the classic bohemian style. Check out my outfits below!
