What happens when your beautiful model friend, above, turns up at the beach wearing a new beautiful dress that she designed? See below! I literally had to buy one on the spot! (Leave it to me to shop, seaside!) Rendered in vintage (wrinkle-proof!) silk chiffon fabric, the dress is perfect over a swimsuit or a slip, and who better to show off its dreamy fit than its Malibu-based designer ? (I mean, seriously!) BTW: She also sells the most gorgeous feminine-leaning vintage pieces from her masterfully-edited, decades-honed collection (see ). So, of course, I dipped into that stockpile too, and was further inspired by other beach style I spotted including this Outerknown men's that another friend bought for her husband and then borrowed to wear over a bikini (so Malibu-cool!), this summer-to-fall bucket hat, this tribal print dress, and these pink sunnies. Busy beach day!
