Pardon my paleness, but it has been at least five years since I’ve spent any notable duration of time in a swimsuit. The San Francisco weather isn’t exactly conducive to sunbathing. That, however, is what made a full day spent at the beach this weekend oh so sweet!

We visited friends, rode bikes, strolled the boardwalk, and drank in the sun. I love summer.

Side note: So thrilled to be headed to Miami later on Thursday for Mercedes Benz Swim Week! Thanks so much to Socialyte.co, the Bal Harbour Shops, and Soho House for making it happen. Be sure to stay tuned for live updates on twitter, instagram, etc. along the way.

    Wow! This is totally a must-have this summer! I totally dig polka dot designer bikinis. I think it’s retro yet totally sexy. I would love to have one.

    LMFAO began their career in 2006 as part of the electro house club scene in Los Angeles, which at the time featured DJ/producers like Steve Aoki and Adam Goldstein. The duo started building a local buzz through their shows and radio play.[6] Once they had recorded some demos, Redfoo’s best friend will.i.am introduced them to Interscope head Jimmy Iovine who gave the green light for them to be signed to Interscope/will.i.am Music.*..:^

    I spent some much needed time in a bikini today too (although mine’s not as cute as yours!) – but I’ve ended up sunburnt, ouch! ;)
