Warm West Coast sun, bare legs and Tory’s breezy Calyx Tunic… it’s the makings of a summer dream — and Annabelle Fleur’s reality. The L.A.-based VivaLuxury blogger took us on a recent excursion to Laguna Beach and we chatted seaside dream destinations and all things beach along the way.
My beach style is…  
Effortless chic.
Beach must-haves…  
A great bikini, cute cover-up, roomy tote and a pair of oversized sunnies. 
Beach beauty routine…  
I always apply a really good sunblock before going to the beach and spray a leave-in hair conditioner all over my hair, paying special attention to the ends. As far as beach makeup goes, I prefer a minimal look. Normally, I opt for a bit of waterproof mascara and a tinted lip balm. 
Beach icon…  
I would have to say Brigitte Bardot — her beach style is so cool, carefree and effortless. 
Favorite West Coast beach…  
It’s a tie between Bluebird Beach in Laguna Beach and Carbon Beach in Malibu.
Favorite beach in the world…  
Maroma Beach in Riviera Maya. 
My perfect day at the beach…   
Involves a little bit of everything. As much as I love laying about working on my tan, I also love being active — swimming, kayaking or paddleboarding are definitely my particular favorites at the moment. 
Best beach read…  
I never go to the beach without bringing a copy of Agatha Christie’s
A Caribbean Mystery with me. 
Favorite beach snack…  
Fresh fruit or apples with a bit of peanut butter! 
Favorite beachy tune…  
Happy by Pharrell Williams.
My dream beach getaway… 
I’ve always wanted to visit the islands of Sicily — Rabbit Beach in particular.
