The theme of this week is obviously girly and feminine details from dresses to bikinis! Pursuit tip: ruffles create the illusion of curves so if you have smaller hips or a more athletic build, try 'em!

If you're looking for a full day of fun in the sun with your girlfriends, Hermosa is definitely the spot. Make sure to check out:
