Summer Sizzled

This summer has been too much fun. From amazing photo shoots and fashion shows, to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion week SWIM in Miami and our first time vending at the Honolulu Night Market, nothing beats a Hawaiian Summer. 

We had the priviledge to once again work with MeeganElizabeth Swimwear. Her Fashion Showcase at the Manor, Honolulu was bursting with hopefull local talent as she held a model search and a mini photo shoot for her top models. Featuring our Beach2City line "Datura" The photography of BaylyBuck is shared below. (edits are mine)

 There was a prize giveaway: locally made coffee scrub by 'ili scrub a bikini by non other then the talented MeeganElizabeth and one of our brand new "Datura" medallion rings in Pure Silver Plate.

We at Beach 2 City had an amazing night, marketing and social networking - face to face. There are many good things still to come this year! Stay connected and we'll share some of the magic that went into designing our newest line, "Datura"

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week SWIM

Oh so much joy this summer!

We wanted to thank MeeganElizabeth Swimwear for taking our "Beachy Bangles" off to Miami for her MBFW debut! Our original bangles adorned the lovely local Miami Models and a few of our very own Island Beauties - strutting their stuff during the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week SWIM edition.

 I know we worked hard as a Sponsor, getting all of our vip gifts ready to go, each guest received their very own Beachy Bangle with Hebrew Shell. And all the models all received a custom two toned ring set, Rose Gold and Silver.

Check out all the great images and MeeganElizabeth Swimwear at the MBFW SWIM page

work + play + laughing all the way

Today was so wonderful, I hit a couple sun showers as I had the pleasure of driving into Kahala to see the owner of my favorite boutique, Super Citizen, we got to chat about some of my new designs and I got a chance to drool over all her new dresses from her latest shopping trip. Then a quick drive into Hawaii Kai to drop off jewelry for a photo shoot with the ever amazing MEswimwear set for later this week. Make sure to check out both these gals, they are not only business savvy, but so creative and driven. I indeed heart them (!)

Here are a few pics from my last Beach2City shoot with MEswimwear.

a Beach by any other name ...

A beach by any other name, kahakai to begin with is the Hawaiian word for Beach and here on Oahu there are endless blue skies and countless beaches to play on. Sandy ones, rocky ones, public ones and of course those few secret beaches. Whether you are searching for beachy treasures or looking to picnic there are endless choices for locals and visitors alike.

Our most recent beach adventure took us just slightly off the beaten path and around the corner from a beautiful resort where the Honu love to nest. We wadded in ponds while searching for sea cucumbers and found beautiful shells and giant corals.

 

 



We brought along our newest family member, our Flynn. A 6mnth old American Bull dog we adopted from the Hawaii Humane Society. (There are many pooch friendly beach parks and leash laws are in effect.)

 

We ate and played the entire afternoon and then finished our day with a long drive around the island, stopping for my favorite treat, Garlic Shrimp. If you are ever on the North Shore you have to stop at the Kahuku Shrimp Truck!

 

 

 

...wait, what? Did you really think I would go an entire post without any jewelry? Here are some little Beachy Treasures that I transformed into Sterling Silver rings, the Beach Glass is from Oahu and Kauai Beaches.

 

 

 

The only question I have for you is, When will your adventure begin?

The Honolulu Festival is this weekend at the Hawaii Convention Center, and Beach2City will have our Pop Up Shop at booth #5 on Sunday March 9th from 10-3pm. We will have sales on all your favorite Beach2City items and you can scoop up some of our newest creations as well.

I love the moment of peace when everything Springs into place

The Beachy Bangle

Oh how I love my beachy Bangles .. xo
Everyone seems to agree, this little design of mine has crossed far beyond the ocean and sea.

I first created these beachy treats back in 2006 as my table top soldering techniques were gaining speed. I sold a few bedecked with 14mm amethysts and 10mm sapphire rondells. And quickly sold out! I started teaching my 3hr class on the beachy bangle early 2007 and it seems like a whirlwind since then. I have instructed thousands of students, shop owners and designers my table top soldering techniques and original designs - and I loved every minute of it.
These lil ocean gems can be found made by me and my students all over the country. They are also widely known as shell bangles and beach bangles due to my copyright infringement policy.

Im so pleased that this simple little design of mine has taken the islands by storm and is Still the most sought after design 8years in a row!

Lets keep it going and use our talents to continue creating new and innovative beachy designs ♡
