Bikinis and Beaches: Mixing & Matching in Manhattan Beach

Behind Malibu, Manhattan Beach has got to be one of my fave weekend beach spots. The eats, the shopping, the gorgeous little town... there is just too much to love:

If you happen to find yourself in MB make sure to check out a few of my top spots:

The best beach boutique that has great contemporary brands!

For the beer lover that likes a delicious fish taco or two. 

Refreshing Acai bowls that are beyond perfect to grab and take to the sand. My mouth is watering just thinking about 'em...

When it comes to swim get more out of your bikinis by mixing and matching prints and solids; it's like a new swimsuit every time! Obviously, you can't go wrong with Victoria's Secret's basics because the price is SO right. I found Boys + Arrows on HauteLook last year and fell in love with their aesthetic. The suits have a tomboy vibe that's super sexy and they've nailed the cheeky bottom -yay!

Can we talk about twist bands? They're the perfect beach accessory- super gentle on salty, windblown hair + they come in cutesy colors.
