A December beach

Enjoyed an afternoon at the beach today with my brother. I wish I was more of a beach girl growing up, but I'm still spoiled for being able to enjoy some California sun right before Christmas. 

Our bathing suits are courtesy of Billabong Japan - thank you! We love Billabong <3

今日は弟と冬のビーチを楽しんできました。クリスマス前に水着着て海へ行けるのは、本当に贅沢だなーと今更思う。水着とトランクスはBillabong Japanから頂いたものです。Billabong 大好き！

Love,

Samantha

A preview of some shots from my recent photo shoot in Newport Beach. 

The photographer wanted to incorporate pareo/ beach skirts in the above colors and I realized none of the bikini tops I had matched any of them. So I was lucky enough to find the white crocheted bikini top from H&M (and only the top!), which was the last one in my size! I also got to take home the pretty Billabong skirt :) 

We stayed at the beach until sunset, so I am looking forward to the shots with the setting sun in the background. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Love,
