Summer Uniform: Pretty tomboy

My friend Elizabeth Antonia doesn't take herself too seriously, yet she still manages to look fresh and tomboyishly sexy. So, I'm excited to share her summer uniform (and get some red jeans!)...

Here's Elizabeth's take:

We were taking a family bike ride to Gjelina for lunch for my husband's birthday. My bike is a old Raleigh that I've had for ten years. It's been with me in Seattle, Brooklyn and now Los Angeles--my old clunker that I can't bear to leave behind! For my hair, I love, love, love John Master's Organics Sea Mist--it makes my hair a tousled mess just how I like it.

Here's how to get the look:
White tee: James Perse, $50, or Target, $5!
Red skinny jeans: J Brand, $176.
Tote: Anya Hindmarch, varied prices on eBay.
Natural sunscreen: Badger, $14.
Beach-blown hair: John Master's Organics Sea Mist, $14.50.

P.S. Two more gorgeous summer uniforms.

  1. I just got the bumble&bumble surf spray and I thought it was going to do nothing and just be all hype, but it's true, these salt sprays are really a beach in a bottle. Perfect messy summery hair!

  16. spending $16 on salt water is totally ridiculous. ingredients: water, salt, lavender oil. make it, then give the $15.50 you save to charity. please. :)

  19. you can also make your own seal salt mist, just google it! very easy, and the salt whisks humidity away from your stands which is why it makes hair less frizzy. love it!

    also, love those red jeans.

  23. I love this little recipe for a cute, casual look. Such a great photo! And I adore that her bike has traveled with her everywhere... I wish I had something like that.

  24. The bumble and bumble stuff is great! I used to use it when I had longer hair. I also tried something similar from John Frida (I think?) - half the price from Ulta. (If you have one of those in NYC.)

    I love red jeans! I wear mine all time! (See here! :)

    And PS - I got mine at Zara for only $39! They have a gold ankle zip too, which makes them a little more fun.

    Happy Friday!
