Guest Post: Kirby from The Short and the Sweet of It ...

Happy Friday! This look is heavenly, and makes me excited to hit the beach this weekend. Thank you to Kirby from The Short and the Sweet of It for sharing!

'I was inspired to do "surfer beach style" from the attached photo I took of my boyfriend and a friend walking into the water to surf, while I sat on the sand. Although I don't surf, the culture has always been a part of my life growing up in Newport Beach and now living in San Diego, dating a surfer.'
