Dress Code: Bikini

Chapter 11: Dress Code: Bikini

Bikini season is 12 months a year in L.A. and Orange County.
Hence Angelenas have at least three different beach outfits
in their wardrobes; among these are tiny adorable bikinis
in all imaginable colors, shapes and designs. Bikini and beach
wear designers make a great business and produce several
collections every year. It's a staple and a must-have item
always kept on hand. Even in December, when the sun goes
down early and the nights are chilly - there are still warm
days perfect to don some hot stuff for a lazy afternoon on the
beach - sunscreen is another must-have and a warm sweater
for the hours after sunset.
The sunshine is energizing, the ocean breeze is refreshing
and cool salty water stimulates body and senses. Cheers to
wonderful mother nature which pampers Angelenos with
long stunning beaches, lots of warm regaling rays coming
from a non-stop baby blue sky, and the most impressive
landscapes.
The beach is a recreational area #1. All one has to do is to
breath the salty air, feel the warm sand under ones feet
and listen to the waves - this is relaxation at it's best.
And this is how Angelenos stay in shape all year: wear
a bathing suit as often as possible - also while jogging or
riding a bike alongside the beautiful beaches of the golden
coast - popular activities among Angelenos where they
can work on their fitness and show off their trimmed
bodies. Angelenos love to surf, swim or sail. Hang out
on a boat, floating on glittery waters and watching the
sunset: this is how Angelenos love to spend time - cozy,
lazy, with a drink in hand celebrating life and being blessed
with the great climate of the West Coast. This is California
Love!
From fabulous Zuma Bech in the north to emerald green
waters of Dana Point - beaches are overwhelming beautiful.
Every single bay is in it's own way magnificent. A surfer's
paradise is Huntington Beach. Malibu and Zuma Beach is
where the glitzy crowd hangs out while Santa Monica is
tourist's or residents first choice. Skaters, artists and quirky
people hang out at Venice Beach while Newport Beach is
where a wealthy community of Orange Country dwells in big
castle-like houses indulging in luxurious lives and sophisticated
hobbies like plastic surgeries, collecting expensive cars,
breeding horses or dogs.
Living a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy, organic, local food
and working out on regular basis (with a personal trainer -of
course) these are the main life principles to which many
Angelenos live up to in order to maintain great looks and
a vibrant, firm body. Everybody strives to look fabulous.
Angelenos do their utmost to maintain youth and attractivity
as long as possible. This is sophisticated L.A.-mentality and
a whole philosophy. It's a glamorous town that attracts beautiful
faces sporting hot bodies and strong, ambitious personalities.

Don a slinky bikini and some huge shades, don't forget the
sunscreen and some lovely sandals, a hat is another noteworthy
accessoiry. Hop into a convertible and dash to the beach - anyone -
everyone is wonderful and a gift from mother nature. Cheers to
the Golden Coast!
