Bikinis and Beaches: Juicy Couture & Hermosa

She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny red polka dot bikini...
The theme of this week is obviously girly and feminine details from dresses to bikinis! Pursuit tip: ruffles create the illusion of curves so if you have smaller hips or a more athletic build, try 'em! 
Hermosa holds a special place in my heart because we frequented the bars and beach WAY TOO much the summer after college. It's definitely a younger party crowd - nothing like Malibu. If you're looking for a full day of fun in the sun with your girlfriends, Hermosa is definitely the spot. Make sure to check out: 

Start off the perfect beach with a delicious breakfast almost on the sand!

Wine. Cheese. Tapas.

Adorable boutiques and more restos than you can imagine.

I may have to be a repeat offender of this beach look come 4th of July; it's got just the right amount of red, white and blue! Cutoffs and a cute tank make the perfect go-to beach ensemble don't you think? Speaking of cute tanks: use PURSUIT20 to get 20% off this lovely and tons of other LAmade goodies.

Coming tomorrow: 4th of July entertaining tips!
