Whoa.

Hey there.

Stranger.

Remember me?

My name is Ariel if you forgot...

But for real, welcome BACK to my blog!

I apologize for the month of radio silence on here but when you're juggling a bunch of priorities in life, one of them is bound to eventually fall, roll under under the couch, and get covered in a dust for a bit. And unfortunately, that priority ended up being my blog. But after some groveling and begging for forgiveness, Auteur Ariel and I have finally made amends and we are BACK IN BUSINESS baby!

With long breaks come a looooot of catching up to do. I have about 4-5 outfits still to post that feature my old hair and previous seasons so please bear with me as we take a visit to the past for a bit! :)

Today's post is from our trip back home to Hawaii for my brother's wedding (back in June, hehe)! During our short visit I was able to squeeze in a stop at one of my favorite beaches on the island. It's a bit of a walk to get to and most people/tourists don't know about it so it's perfect for a day of peace and relaxation. When you're from a vacation destination, it's almost impossible to go to a beach that isn't overrun by tourists so I always tend to spend my time in the lesser known areas of Hawaii. It's one of the perks of being able to call this island my home.

If you're going on vacation somewhere warm or you just live in a forever summer climate, make sure you check out Beverly Swimwear and SwimZip! Beverly Swimwear has custom-made swimmies that are so cute and flattering to the body, and SwimZip has awesome roundie towels that are necessary for the beach! Just because it's nearing the cold seasons, doesn't mean the beach partying needs to stop. ;)

Okay guys, I PROMISE this time I'm sticking to posting AT LEAST twice a week.
There.
I said it.
Now you can hold me to it.

Btw, I'm always posting on my Snapchat and Instagram so if you want to stay updated with my life make sure you follow me there!

As always guys, keep it classy.

Cheers.

Kevin Bacon is stalking me.

Guess what?

This Saturday marks the first official day of the summer season!

It also happens to be the longest day of the year as well as my Dad's birthday. Two happy coincidences. :)

I'm celebrating the end of spring and beginning of summer by sharing with you a beach-ready outfit featuring an adorable swimsuit from Beverly Swimwear! I'm wearing the Sassy Stripes suit in Pink/White and I loooove it! The best part about Beverly Swimwear's swimsuits besides the fact that they're insanely cute is that they are custom made to fit you! I'm so tired of buying swimsuits that are either too tight on the bottoms or too loose on top (the woes of being flat chested), and Beverly Swimwear is the answer to my problems.

Beverly, the mastermind behind the company, makes the suits herself and she makes them according to your body type and measurements! She is also extremely sweet and so easy to work with--when I first ordered my suit, the chest area was a little loose but I just mailed it back to her and she had it fixed and sent back within a week! I love companies and people who really care about customer service and satisfaction so I would highly recommend getting yourself a suit from Beverly Swimwear.

Besides the Sassy Stripes suit, my favorites are the Rainbow Straps, Basic Bombshell, and Chic Cap. For each style there are also multiple fabrics and patterns you can choose from, making your swimsuit that much more custom.

ps. In case you were wondering, those little doodles on my skin are henna tattoos, drawn on by yours truly (the feather was done by Jess cus I'm not a lefty). We had a girls night last week and went a little crazy with some DIY tattoos. They're so much fun!

Currently I'm watching Crazy, Stupid, Love. and I can't get over how adorable Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling's chemistry is.

Also, I'm pretty sure Kevin Bacon is stalking me because I've seen 3 movies on TV in the past 2 days with him in them, unintentionally. What a creeper.

Cheers.
