On February 26th, I had the opportunity to help put on Called to Surf's first ever blogger party! They are located in the Riverwoods, and have possibly the most adorable store ever. As soon as I walk in, I feel like I'm back on the Huntington Beach pier in California! They stock modest and adorable swimwear year round, cute daily wear items, and have just started including home decor in their store.
La Jolla Groves, also in the Riverwoods, provided a delicious appetizer table filled with artichoke dip, salsa dip, lemon cakes, and fresh lemon water. YUM!
One of my favorite places ever, Sodalicious, set up a soda bar for all the bloggers to enjoy! The owner Kevin, is a total hoot & all the bloggers loved testing out soda drinks until they found their signature one!
At the party the bloggers took on an Instagram challenge to snap photos of their ideal beach and spring outfits and hashtag them like crazy! It was so fun to see what everyone picked as some of their favorite pieces in the store. Called to Surf has an amazing selection of cute and modest swimwear to pick from, so it was super hard to just pick one or two swimsuits as my favorites! I especially loved this Juicy Couture lace swimsuit above, and the Nanette Lepore floral one piece below modeled by this gorgeous girl!
The Riverwoods very own candy & toy store, Blickenstaff's, made these perfect candy bags filled with gummy sharks and ocean-inspired jelly beans to fit the swim party theme. The bloggers loved taking this yummy goody bags home to snack on!
Everyone left that night with a huge smile on their face and their arms full of Called to Surf merchandise, Sodalicious cups, and Blickenstaff's candy bags. I want to thank all the bloggers who came, sponsors who participated, and finally Called to Surf for the makings of an amazing night! Hopefully we can all get together and party again ;)
