Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas Gift Guide for the beach, bohemian goddess.

Must have summer essentials include distressed denim shorts in ultra cheeky proportions. The leather Gladiator sandal returns once again this season with a vengeance. Shades include ebony, butterscotch, and dark chocolate. Pedicured nails a must! A luxurious beach towel in a Moroccan inspired print will radiate beatnik charm. I'm pictured wearing my floral and crochet bandeau bikini by Seafolly and my Ginja 'Marrakech' halter bikini complete with undulating paisley print and tassel detail. A roomy, durable, carry all for all your beach necessities is a given. Eyewear designers continue to push the boundaries with fashion forward designs. Be sure to get your hands on a pair of covet worthy, sophisticated yet edgy cat eye wayfarers in tortoise. A bold, brightly coloured slip dress is sure to get you noticed. Perfect to throw over your bikini for a beach to bar ensemble oozing of feminine allure and nonchalance. Accessorise with oversized, sterling silver, Navajo earrings or layer wooden beads around your neck or wrists for instant hippie, luxe glamour. Lastly to avoid harmful UV rays be sure to don a straw cowboy hat a la Elle Macpherson style.
