Fabric & Care
Fabric & Care
Are you tired of looking like a hot mess on the beach? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Well, actually, your beach coverup has got you covered, but you get the point. Here are some tips on how to wash your beach coverup:
Check the care label. You know what they say, always read the label before washing! Unless you want to end up with a shrunken and discolored coverup, then by all means, go ahead and skip this step.
Wash it on a delicate cycle. Your beach coverup is delicate, just like that fine china that you never use. So, treat it with care and wash it on a delicate cycle. (Hand wash for longer-lasting wear.)
Wash it in cold water. Your coverup is hot enough, so give it a break and wash it in cold water. Hot water will only make it more wrinkly than a raisin.
Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach unless you're trying to give your coverup a punk rock look. But if that's the case, we suggest adding some safety pins and Doc Martens to complete the outfit.
Air dry it. If you want to avoid a fashion disaster, don't even think about putting your beach coverup in the dryer. The heat will make it look like a miniature version of what it used to be.
Spot clean stains immediately. If you spill something on your beach coverup, don't wait until it becomes a permanent accessory. Spot clean it immediately before it turns into a "what was I thinking?" moment. Tide wipes or even baby wipes are great to have on hand for a quick cleanup.
Steam it. If you are feeling fancy or headed to a fun beach party, the best way to get your coverup looking just perfect is to steam to get any wrinkles out.
Shake it off! Listen to those Swifties this time! If your coverup has some tassels, give them a little shake! They will be perfectly straight in no-time.

Always Amazing
This maxi dress is a classic. No question it’ll be a staple in your closet for years to come. Put it on and feel the vacation vibes sink in. The ruffled neckline and low back will make you feel feminine and sexy. And the pockets! Every dress should have pockets. This dress is no exception. The fabric is light and airy and billows in the wind like nothing we’ve ever experienced in a dress. You’re going to look like a goddess in this maxi, whether you’re at the beach or at a bar. Flip flops by day, jean jacket and fun jewelry by night. You got this. Enjoy the compliments and double takes.
You Are a Goddess
You’re walking down the beach back to your car after a long day of maybe even too much sunshine. Salty and sweaty. Your beach chair is strapped to your back and you’re carrying a bag full of more than just your own things.
Someone yells, “excuse me!” You assume you’ve dropped something but then you hear, “Where’d you get that dress?” You stop and realize that your dress is flowing in the wind behind you and the color is radiating in the late-day sun. You are officially a beach goddess.

Meet the owner
I’m a Boston girl who moved to Southern California 17 years ago. There’s a vacation vibe here that comes not just from the ocean and palm trees. It’s the laid back approach to life, the outdoor, active lifestyle, and it's the fashion. I work from home, I drive my kids around, I run errands, and then I might meet friends for a drink. I don’t want to think about 10 different outfits for my day. I want something that I can wear for all of that. Something that says, "I know SoCal fashion" without overdoing it. And something that won’t go out of style next week. Oh, and I want it to be comfortable.... and flattering. Too much to ask? Bette says, “no”.

Will this shrink?
Your best bet is to either hand wash or delicate wash your maxi and let it hang to dry. This is the best way to ensure the frayed neckline stays in tact and your maxi doesn't shrink. :)
