Spring Break Essentials 3.31.14

Spring Break is the one week out of the year I wish I was back in college and could leave all responsibilities to escape for a week at the beach. Right as winter is finally letting up is when I crave sunshine and salty air more than anything. But since I can’t exactly leave my day job… which these days is taking care of my 5 week old and adjusting to life as a mom… I have resorted to internet shopping for those essentials I’ll need this summer and, of course, counting down the days until I can actually use them. But, for those of you who can sneak away for some R&R here are a few of my current favorite “spring break essentials”.

1. Sleeveless Rash guard 2. Playsuit 3. Striped Beach Towel 4. Sunscreen 5. Swim Bag 6. Villa Sandal 7. Sunglasses

Designer Spotlight: Rikke Korff 3.27.14

LA based Danish designer, Rikke Korff, has created one of my favorite lines SkarGorn. She originally worked for Levi’s in the 1990s and helped redefine denim with the invention of the 3D engineered blue jean. Now designing her own line of denim and t’s, SkarGorn, is inspired by her Danish roots. SkarGorn, meaning “alley of knives” is an ode to the Danish coastline and Venice Beach. Taking a little bit of old and new, SkarGorn is becoming a staple with its modern and timeless pieces made in the best of quality. I am a huge fan of their t’s and you can find them at shops like Madewell and Urban Outfitters. Again, a perfect staple to have in your closet and a great line of quality made garments.
