A picture of the ocean reminding me of 2 things: A) I'll soon be leaving town for Los Angeles, giving me an opportunity to relax in Malibu & B) Ladies & Gentlemen, Shark Week has arrived.

After seeing both Ke$ha and Khloe Kardashian rocking one of these snazzy Native American head-dresses, it's safe to say that I'm in need of one.

There's less than a month before the summer ends girls, so now is the time to put on your cutest swimsuit and flaunt that tan.  Your last chance to throw or attend that killer beach/pool party is quickly approaching and you'll want the perfect bikini.  The 8 above are some of my favorites.  Since most of them are quite pricey, I hope you get inspired by the vibrant colors and playful silhouettes!

Starry Eyed by Ellie Goulding

Ellie's recently released US version of her hit single, Starry Eyed.  I'm devastated that her NYLON Magazine tour didn't have any stops in Austin, but this video has made up for it (if only a little).
