Malibu Beach Day Outfit Essentials for Your Summer 2022 Wardrobe!

It was a beautiful day in Malibu in summer outfit essentials for Summer 2022. Grab some cute beach outfit inspiration to add to your Summer wardrobe.

LOCATION: EL MATADOR, MALIBU 🌴

It was a beautiful day at El Matador Beach, Malibu. I love the feeling of the beginning of Summer when the sun starts to get a little bit warmer and stays out a little bit longer. I love the feeling of fresh ocean air and natural ocean hair.


Summer clothing is my favorite type of clothing, just because it feels so carefree and truly reflects the southern California aesthetic. Your summer beach outfit can feel like resort wear with a few simple tweaks.

 

Paradise Cove Large Floppy. Shop it here.

 

I love large brim hats for long days spent at the beach. Large brim hats are perfect to pair with your favorite sunglasses and make you feel like Brigette Bardot. They are the ultimate sun protection since no umbrella is needed (literally). You can simply hide under the hat and fall asleep, listening to the ocean waves. Or let it fold naturally in half in the front while you’re walking for a relaxed look, or for when you need to drink a martini.

A medium sized straw hat is also perfect for a Malibu beach day outfit. A medium sized hat is like your everyday floppy hat and is still perfect to get some shade from the sun.

Coral Beach Straw Hat. Shop it here.

I love hand woven bags for the beach. Hand woven bags are something special, because they usually only come out during vacation or summer time. My favorites are made of real straw and are hand woven in secluded beachy places such as Colombia or the little towns in Mexico. When you wear a hand woven beach bag it reminds you of the first breath of fresh air when you land at your destination.

Sarongs are another key item to add to your summer wardrobe. They come in so many colors and are so easy to wrap around your waist. They are classy, yet relaxed. Pair it with your favorite sandals for a beach day and switch it out with heels for a sunset dinner close by.

You can’t forget a vibrant bikini. I love how many styles and cuts of bikinis are now available. Gone are the days of the usual triangle top and tie bottoms—although those are all still cute. There are so many unique ways you can wrap bikini tops and wear one piece bikinis in bandage and unique cuts.

Eventually the sun sets and the tide roles up, but there is always time to enjoy the beach again tomorrow. With so many beach essentials now in your wardrobe, you’ll be ready for a long day to spend in Malibu.

How-To Maintain the Shapes of Your Purses and Boots with this Easy Easy Hack!

This is so easy!

Have you ever wondered what to do with old clothing that is too destroyed to donate or give away? I feel guilty about throwing these types of clothes away since they will most likely end up in landfill. Also, it can be another thing on your list of things-to-do i.e.: ordering bubble wrap or stuffing paper for filling your leather handbags and boots….

However, did you realize you can just cut up old clothing (that are too destroyed and stained to giveaway) and use THOSE instead? Old stained or torn clothes work perfectly to fill boots, purses, or any other item of clothing or accessory that needs its shape maintained while stored away in your closet.

Day in the Life in L.A.: One Day/One Night in Los Angeles

Welcome to my blog post on suggestions of things to do if you have only one day in Los Angeles with family! The feel we were going for was relaxing, beautiful, stimulating, yet chic. #dayinthelife #dayinthelifeLA

Dukes, Malibu

Dukes, Malibu

Welcome to my blog post on suggestions of things to do if you have one day in Los Angeles! My grandmother and mom visited, so the feel we were going for was relaxing, beautiful, stimulating, yet chic. Below are the 3 places we went to for one beautiful day in L.A. Also, scroll down for the pics!

LA in-a-day itinerary:

—> The 3 Places: Duke’s Malibu, the Getty Villa, and the Beverly Hilton.

  1. Lunch at Duke’s Malibu in Malibu, overlooking the ocean.

    Duke’s restaurant is right beside the ocean and right off the PCH highway. The booths right next to the window have beautiful views of the waves, and sometimes you can see dolphins. Duke’s has brunch on Sunday’s, outside seating, and a bar. It’s a great restaurant for families as well as friends. I ordered a cold brew coffee in a glass bottle and a vegetarian burger :) I loved it. Check out Duke’s in Malibu website here. Duke’s is also close by the Getty Villa, where we went after lunch.

  2. Museum day at The Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades.

    Next, we went to The Getty Villa. The Getty Villa is a beautiful museum in itself and features ancient Greek and Roman art. It’s located in the Pacific Palisades overlooking the ocean. It is perfect for spending a day with friends or with family. The museum is free, but you need to make a reservation beforehand. Check out the Getty Villa website here.

  3. Check-in at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

    After our day spent in Malbu at Duke’s and the Getty Villa, we headed for check-in at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, which is about an hour drive away from Malibu. The Beverly Hilton is known for its history in Hollywood, and hosts annual Grammy’s parties and the Golden Globes, and more. The Beverly Hilton has a restaurant by the pool, a bar, a modern spa with cryotherapy chambers, a beautiful pool, event spaces, and the rooms have beautiful views of Los Angeles. Check out the Beverly Hilton Hotel website here.

  4. Dinner at the Beverly Hilton outside by the pool.

    Since the restaurant at the Beverly Hilton is already chic and fun, we had dinner outside by the pool. The food is amazing. I ordered a vegetarian pizza and had a velvet chocolate dessert. Sitting outside at the Beverly Hilton is also so relaxing, they have a fun old fashioned iconic bar that’s outside by the pool. The hotel gave me a to-go box for my pizza, which is super cute. Scroll all the way down for a pic of the pizza box <3

  5. Breakfast at the Beverly Hilton outside by the pool.

    In the morning, we had breakfast by the pool of the Beverly Hilton again, since it’s so nice to sit outside there by the palm trees and pool and we were also looking for some relaxation to our one day Los Angeles trip. The Beverly Hilton provides enough fun to stay there and enjoy anyway. However, for the last part of the day for your one day/one night in LA and want to try somewhere different for breakfast, the Beverly Hilton is located near tons of restaurants in downtown Beverly Hills by Rodeo. It’s walking distance from the hotel if you like to take a half-mile walk, or, it is a very short drive.

  6. The end of a relaxing, beautiful, stimulating yet chic stay of one day /one-night stay in Los Angeles!

Beach Day in Malibu

I found shade underneath a palm tree :)

It’s now Summer in Los Angels and I love how warm it’s getting here! My favorite beaches in Los Angeles include Point Dume in Malibu, Paradise Cove in Malibu, and of course the left side of the Santa Monica Pier.

I love to go to Point Dume when I want to spend time on a more secluded and private beach in Malibu. I love how this beach is at the base of the Malibu cliffs. There are a few surfers out there and a few swimmers. Other than that, it’s just a few other people, the sand, the sun, the ocean, and beautiful Malibu,

I didn’t have an umbrella, so I found shade underneath a palm tree :)
