Blowfish Malibu Style We Can’t Get Enough Of!

New year, fresh looks. Inspiring style brought to you by some of our favorite Blowfish Malibu babes. 

The majority of us use a new year to reflect on the past. Some people may choose to create resolutions and set goals, while others may use this time to simply be inspired.  A new year presents us a clean slate and in turn gives us hope for the future. Out with the old, in with the new, right? These newly set intentions and thoughts weave through various parts of our lives;  from health and wellness, to financial resolutions, travel goals, and style. Because we are fashion-obsessed (duh), this week we’re looking for inspiring, new ways to update our wardrobe for the new year. With every new season, we rely on some of our favorite Blowfish Malibu babes who rock their looks (and their Blowfish Malibu kicks) to encourage fun change.

This means we’re headed to IG to hunt down fresh looks to inspire and revamp our style.

Find inspiration below!

Love Island’s adorable @lauraloucrane is rocking her Ralo boot, available at Office Shoes in Europe. We love how she paired these boots with a leather jacket and vintage tee.

@theangelajones lovessss her Mondo sneakers and wears them while running around Los Angeles any chance she gets. We are totally feeling the camo jacket paired with denim cut-offs. Plus, that high ponytail is killing it.

We don’t think we’ll ever get over the Bungalow sandal (a year-round favorite, if you ask us!), and @lularoeashelymickelson is rocking hers like summer never ended! PS. how amazing is that floral duster!?

@ashleerosehartley is one of the cutest girls on the ‘gram. It’s no surprise we can’t get over how well she styled one of our classic styles: Balla.

We’ve got a massive crush on @jeskenyon and can’t get over how well she styled our beloved Play sneaker. Can we get this outfit for ourselves, ASAP? LOVE the long sweater and sneaker combo.

Comfort + casual + effortless + modern = the perfect look. We love how @jasinez paired her adorable grey slip-on’s with cute denim trousers and an on-trend mustard sweater!

@theclumsytraveler is a great friend to the brand, and she effortlessly rocks our favorite shoes throughout the year. Check her out on the Santa Monica pier in a pair of on-trend neutral booties! They look perfect with her cuffed boyfriend jeans and casual, yet feminine, white tee.

@vanessa_la_blanche is making us feel “50 shades of jealous” with this fresh, winter-approved ensemble. We need grey booties ASAP.

We don’t know what we love more: @jeskenyon in her comfy Play sneakers this season or that yummy latte she’s drinking!

Feeling inspired? Which looks would you rock this year?

BTS: Spring & Summer 2019 Photo Shoot!

It’s that time of year again: photo shoot season!

Our marketing team spent the beginning of November hard at work prepping to shoot our upcoming styles for Spring/Summer 2019.

One of the days on set, we spent at a beach house on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. We got there just as the day  was breaking, and was fortunate enough to see the most beautiful sunrise. We all enjoyed bagels and coffee for breakfast and then got straight to work turning the house into our photo studio for the day!

 

This shoot was particularly fun, as we got to host a plethora of little ladies on set! Working with kids can be challenging, but these girls were a dream and we all had blast entertaining them in between shots. How cute are they!? (And, I mean, just look at all the adorable mini Blowfish Malibu shoes!)

The details in the house that we shot at were impeccable. Details, like the surfing book pictured below, can really add a lot of specialness to a shot. (The book definitely made it into to images!) And how great is that wooden walkway in the sand (pictured below)? All these little details really help to add to the bigger picture.

We were lucky to work with a super talented photographer again. We’ve been working with Andrew and the team from Matrimony Media for a while now, so whenever we have a shoot, it’s like hanging out with old friends who we don’t get to see very often. There’s lots of goofing around in between outfit changes, but when we need to get to work, we get it done.

Take a look at our photo shoot behind the scenes below!

Overall, shooting in Malibu is always a great time – as it’s our home! All of us love being on the beach and find any excuse we possibly can to escape to our little paradise along the Pacific Ocean.

Fall Weekend Do: Beachside S’mores

There’s nothing like delicious s’mores cooked on an open flame to celebrate fall. 

While the rest of the country may look forward to a fall that includes leaves changing color, crisp air, and wood burning stoves, us So Cal girls have our eye on something slightly different. When our season “changes,” we jump at the opportunity to spoil ourselves with fall activities. We finally get to layer up for local hikes. Beanies take the place of straw sun hats on the beach. Evening footwear moves from sandals to booties and dresses are layered with light leather jackets. Backyard fire pits are finally open for the season, beckoning outdoor cocktail parties. The once sun-drenched LA beaches are now littered with friends hovered around bonfires.

Yes, Southern California receives great weather all year round. But fall gifts us with somewhat cooler weather and you better believe we take full advantage of the slight dip in temperature.

One of our favorite fall activities is indulging in beachside s’mores.

There is something extra special about sweets cooked over an open fire. This year we loaded up our cars and headed to Dockweiler State Beach, just north of Manhattan Beach. Dockweiler is one of Southern California’s most sought after beaches, as it is home to almost four miles of ocean frontage and nearly 400 acres of beach. People from all over So Cal rush to Dockweiler to partake in activities, ranging from hang gliding, picnicking, diving, fishing, and surfing to rollerskating and bike riding on the gorgeous beach bike path. This was the perfect spot to welcome fall with a bonfire and delicious s’mores.
