Writing today’s blog presented me with a challenge. I really wanted to due diligence on the Freya Spring 17 swim collection.

I know that all my Northern based friends and readers are hunkering down into cocooning season, but here in Cabo the auspicious landscape of sky and ocean remains a calm and cool blue. The impact of beachwear on this lifestyle is as ubiquitous as ever in this seaside homestead. I have gotten into the habit of bathing suit watch whenever I am near the water.
