A California Gurl


“California gurls
We're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot”

We are in love with the soon-to-be summer hit by Katy Perry “California gurls.”

Picture a California gurl.

Beach wave hair, a killer body, a relaxed effortless look pulled together with a pair of flip flops. But WHO comes into mind when SwimSpot thinks Cali gurl? The face of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively, of course.
(Side note: OhMyChuck to the season finale!)

 

Gracing the cover of the June Issue of Vogue, B pulls off the Cali vibe perfectly. The photo shoot took place in Encinitas, California –a picture perfect backdrop. Fun fact – this now New York babe spent much of her childhood in the suburbs of Los Angeles. We knew Blake has and will always be a California girl at heart with her family affluent in the entertainment business.

Not just the face of Gossip Girl, catch this beauty sizzling in The Green Lantern. Set to hit theaters June 17th, Blake will be starring alongside hunky hunk Ryan Reynolds for this movie. Lucky gal!

How does Blake pull off the Cali look so well? She credits her slim, sleek bod to her intense role as supervillian (not your typical “Damsel in Distress”) Star Sapphire. Pump up your workouts ladies, cause Memorial Day is only two weeks away!  

Of course, we all desire her signature locks! Achieve the look by adding surf sea salt spray to towel dried hair and scrunching away. Learn from her Vogue cover that neutrals and muted colors are IN for summer. Be sure to play up your neutrals with some of our signature SwimSpot swimwear to recreate Blake’s beachy, natural look. Look like a true California Girl with Hurley Womens swimwear, a native OC brand. Lovin the look B.

  

XOXO
SwimSpot.

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!
