Dont fret babes... here's How, Where & When we bring out our kini vibez
xx bitchin babes


Beachside BBQ / Bonfire Babe'N


Our 6 Shore Road Escaper's & Bocas bottoms provide just the right amount of coverage 
for that laid-back summer kick back.  
The high waist style provides more coverage than the typical bikini bottoms 
& can easily replace & revamp the usual cutoff's 
We paired these bottoms with a loose flowly crop top from For Love & Lemons (chic crop top)
The oversized style of this crop complements the fitted bottoms to keep you 
looking comfy, cool & effortless
*stick to looser tops when wearing fitted bottoms to have you looking
 like a babe without trying too hard* 
To complete this look we added our fav jewels from Natalie b.!
  Natalie b. jewels are a statement & add edge to this boho feel.
*Mixed metals with pops of color, perf against sun kissed skin & solid tops*
Unless you want travel barefoot, we suggest a pair of thin strapped gladiator sandals ;) 



Poolside Chic to Moonlit Rendezvous


How can we wear the Cabana One Piece.. let us count the ways..
1. killer on its own paired with cat eye shades & bright lips will have heads turn poolside
2.  High waist's & crops like in our 1st Kini Look!
anndd....
3.  The top of this suit is pretty amazing so why not double it as a top paired with a sheer maxi for a summer nite rendezvous.  This sexy wrap cut-out top downplayed with a sheer maxi will create a sexy yet ethereal romantic look.   
You can't go wrong with Natalie b. jewels which we are clearly obsessing over 
& metallic sandal for the feets!

SPF Au Natural

For our chemical conscious babes.. the chicks who like to go au natural in more ways than one ;)  
We came across this intriguing post on the Free People Blog!
SPF Oil we can make at home... chemical free... from everyday foods we loovee!
Now at days it feels like we have allergies to everything out there.  Sure it's easier to buy a bottle of Banana Boat & slather on, but who knows whats in the lotion/oil/spray, who its been tested on & how long it's been sitting there?!  
With just a little effort & time try this natural alternative, your skin will be thanking you & you'll feel pretty badass for making your own spf oil!
Thanks Free People xx


Ingredients

1/4 cup Shea Butter (contains a SPF of about 6)
1/4 cup Coconut Oil (contains a SPF of about 10)
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
1 tbsp Almond Oil
1 tbsp Jojoba oil
30 drops Carrot Seed Oil
5 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (this is to add in an aromatic scent – coconut, vanilla, or lavender essential oil would also work nicely!)
2 tbsp Zinc Oxide Powder – Adding in the Zinc Oxide Powder will automatically make this recipe contain an SPF of 30, along with the other amounts of SPF from the oils (most health food stores should have this in stock!)*
*Be sure to wear gloves when you are handling Zinc Oxide Powder!


Floral Ice Cubes

Floral Ice Cubes!  
We featured em' in our 1st look book and they will be attending all our soiree's this summer!
Such a fresh, beautiful way to dress up any beverage
 & will have your guests swooning!
We are all drawn to the visual appeal of things... 
these cubes will serve up some serious eye candy & keep you cool chicks



Here's how we do ice cubes...
  • distilled, boiled water cooled - to get the clearest cubes minus the impurities 
  • edible flowers - orchids, pansies, snap dragons, nasturtiums are a few *always be sure flowers were not treated with chemicals or pesticides.  Can't find em??  Here's a great site to order from Gourmet Sweet Botanicals
  • simply place flowers in tray, fill with water & freeze or.... for the perfectionists fill water 1/2 way with flowers & freeze then add the remaining water
  • Don't stop with just flowers!  Berries & Herbs are a perfect match for Margaritas & Mojitos.. or Water cooled with lemon cubes
