Whenever I come home to California, the beach is always one of the first places I plan a trip to. Even better is when both my friends and I are back home at the same time during summer or winter vacation because that means we can all get together at another bonfire party. This red bikini, from Peixoto Swim, was my swimsuit of choice for our festive celebration :) I wanted to make the look more original so I decided to layer some necklaces for a fun and flirty touch.

The sad/funny part of our bonfire party was that we arrived too late to the beach to actually acquire a bonfire pit. Luckily, a kind group of other young adults left a little early and gave us their pit (fire and extra homework to burn included!) So although we were freezing for a good amount of time when the sun went down and we had no source of heat, our party did have a happy ending (not to mention, the other beachgoers who gave us their leftover birthday cake!)
