Looking at my grandmother’s golden goddess glow and pinup style maillot, and my loving mother’s uber-cool oversized aviators and yachting-induced ‘80s windblown locks has solidified the fact that the need for an ever present California girl tan is in my blood. Along with my un-healthy obsession with faux bronzing gel, both these amazing women in my life have clearly shaped my love for sailor stripes and absolutely anything nautical. While I’m the one that now gives them the fashion advice, I’ll never forget where I got my stylish sea legs!
