boulevard of stars... & bikinis

Robertson Blvd. is where you go to shop like a celeb, and possibly run into a few.
It is ALSO the home of our third location, and our very first 
Beach Bunny Boutique in Los Angeles.
If your out for a day of shopping til' you drop on Robertson, make sure to stop and say hi!
When you enter, the teak wood flooring, cylindrical wall panneling, 
and port hole television screens have a way of transporting you 
to a yacht (with feminine touches of course) sailing the crystal blue Mediterranean sea.
Well... At least your half way there, you just need to get some bikinis!


Manager Lindsay & the rest of crew are there to help you with finding the perfect look!
When you stop in, take a moment to check out the fabulous summer window displays, 
might get some great ideas too. Craft time at Beach Bunny!


Beach Bunny Robertson is a celeb fave and frequenting spot: 
Avril Lavigne, Heather Locklear, Bridget Marquardt, Jennifer Lopez, Leann Rimes...
and just this weekend, one of our FAVORITES, Miss Kate Upton dropped in to get bikinilicious!

Cherry Red Lips Meet the Runway

As 8 o'clock approaches, crowds start to swarm outside the Cabana Grande at the Raleigh,
excited for what was about to take over the runway at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
Guests were escorted to their seats in a dimly lit room with chandelier accents.
Backstage, was a whole different scene...
Models being shuffled from hair to make-up to nails, and back again.
The Beach Bunny Swimwear Team scrambling to make sure 
everything was in place for the big show.

Ocean Drive Cover Model (SI & Beach Bunny too) Chrissy Teigen dropped in backstage
to wish the girl luck. She stopped to say chat with Angela and Kate and snap a quick shot!

Kate Upton arrived, coming straight from the airport, wearing this cute little white number.
She had a chance to goof around a little after hair & make-up!

The theme for hair (sponsored by Keratin) & make-up (sponsored by Make Up Forever)
was inspired by the movie Water for Elephants & the 1930's Pin Up Gal,
with cherry red lips & sexy waves. 
Essie sponsored Nails which were also a beautiful shimmer cherry red.

Introducing "LOLA" Beach Bunny Cruise 2012




We got a sneak peek of one of  Kate's collaboration with Beach Bunny.
We LOVE the ruffles!

The crowd when crazy over the Beach Bunny Bridal Collection! 
The girls were all dolled up with pearl & diamonds galore,
walking to Beyonce's Single Ladies Remix!

Kate Upton's final walk was a showstopper! This high waisted bottom was custom made for the show.
Kate was draped in pearls & wore a giant veil... So much fun!


At the end, a standing-O as designer Angela Chittenden 
walked the runway with her daughter.

Thank you to ALL who worked to hard on producing a fun, flirty, & energy filled show!
Until next year MIAMI... Cheers! We look forward to meeting you again! xoxo

new word of the day 'BU' ... Malibu!

So when I started hearing the 'Bu' buzz around the office, 
I have to say I was extremely confused. 
What the heck is the 'Bu'? My co-workers gently informed me that it was what 
LA natives call MALIBU!
Anyway, back to the buzzing. Beach Bunny has opened a new boutique at 

The Lumberyard in Malibu
3939 Cross Creek #D120
Malibu, CA 90265
(310) 317-1199

The Lumberyard is a beautiful location & will meet all of your couture shopping needs! 
AND At Beach Bunny Malibu, Rachel & her amazing team are there for all of your bikini needs!
Its wedding season at Beach Bunny Malibu! Malibu Bunny Blake, practicing for her future special day.
Beach Bunny Malibu is Hiring! Email Rachel@BeachBunnySwimwear.com
Beach Bunny Malibu just received some gorgeous headbands! Here’s our very own Kayla modeling one.

It’s such a beautiful day in the ‘Bu, Beach Bunny Malibu Manager, Rachel, 
decided to move her office to the Lumberyard Courtyard and get some sun while working.

when it rains in South Beach... it pours!

I have to admit I'm a little bummed not to be thrown into the craziness that is 
MIAMI SWIM SHOW this year...
Last year was the first year that Beach Bunny Swimwear attended, 
so it was quite the learning experience, especially being a Miami-virgin myself.
BUT, in those 5 DAYS Beach Bunny took South Beach by storm.
Rainy rooftop dancing, the Beach Bunny Fashion Show (Kardshians present), FedEx Kinkos on Collins (my besties), Girls Night Out (with Boys 2 Men), Mt. Sinai Miami (aka Twilight Zone)... and much much more!
Beach Bunny LOVES South Beach!
Our week in a snapshot:

Backstage before the show!

 Beach Bunny / Ocean Drive Party ~ Stuck on the roof ~ Nothing to do but DANCE!

Girls Night Out (yup that's Boys 2 Men, haha)

Happy Hour with Jim!

Mt. Sinai Miami with Jess (aka Twilight Zone) ~ I still have nightmares

Sitting here writing this is totally bumming me out... maybe I should just jump on a plane to 
SOUTH BEACH! Hmmm....

Some Big Heels To Fill...


 In just a few days, we will be announcing the 2011 Model Search Winner. This will be our second annual model search & we are so excited to name Jennifer, Xenia, & Anahi OUR GIRL!
Handing over the title is Jess, our breathtaking small town sweetheart.
Now, you get to see a tiny bit of what Jess is like in our mini segments with her, 
but I have to say, in working with her, she is one of the sweetest & humble women ever.
Jess has such a big heart for life and the desire to be a good person. 
She shines and it is so very admirable.
This makes choosing Jess as our 2010 Model Search Winner that much more rewarding.
Jess, we want to thank you for representing Beach Bunny Swimwear 
with class, beauty, and grace. 
We wish you all the best with your future endeavors. We know you will be a success in life.
2011 Finalitst, you have some big heels to fill, but we have faith! xoxo

We're in Miami, what!

It's starting to get quiet at Beach Bunny headquarters, 
which DOES NOT mean that things are slowing down (they never do really). 
The team is running around the country like chickens, getting ready for one of our very
FAVORITE times of the year!
Last year was our first year attending the Miami event, and I can easily say that it did not fall short of successful, but went above and beyond. Our 2011 Fashion Show showcased Cruise 2011 & Kardashian's For Beach Bunny, with styling ranging from nautical to lacy S&M.
Sports Illustrated Supermodels Jessica White, Kate Upton, & Chrissy Teigen all shimmied down the runway, along with some of our current campaign stars Lisalla Montenegro
& Jess Rafalowski, with the Kardashian sisters perched in the front row.

This year, Beach Bunny Swimwear will hit the runway once again
Friday, July 15th @8PM in the Cabana Grande.
The show will feature Beach Bunny Cruise 2012 & Beach Bunny Bridal.
I can not say what beauties will be gracing us with their presence,
but I can say that you will not be disappointed.
If you can't make it to the show, STAY TUNED RIGHT HERE! I will get you there! xoxo

Summertime Nostalgia

There is nothing like the feeling you get, after a day spent at the B E A C H...
When your skin is salty, a little toasted, and slightly tender to the touch.
S U M M E R T I M E love!

Kate Upton: Blonde Bombshell & Designer???


Modeling swimwear comes second nature to Sports Illustrated and Beach Bunny supermodel Kate Upton so it was only a matter of time before she went behind the camera to create her own sexy designs. Kate Upton joins California based Beach Bunny to design suits that represent her fun and flirty personality. The 1st release of the label, “Kate Upton for Beach Bunny” is scheduled to launch on Beach Bunny Swimwear’s website and retail stores early 2012, however fans can get a sneak peak of her designs at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim this July as bikini clad Kate struts down the runway at the designer’s show.
Kate created 2 styles for her upcoming collection which includes sexy and modern cuts reflecting Beach Bunny's brand aesthetic fused with Kate’s vivacious personality. “Beach Bunny is my favorite swimsuit line out there and to be able to design for them is a dream come true,” says Kate. “I love all the embellishments and especially the lingerie details because they make you feel so sexy.”
Kate is no stranger to Beach Bunny. She first caught designer Angela Chittenden’s eye as a Guess girl and has since been the face of Beach Bunny’s many campaigns including the latest Beach Bunny Bride, an exclusive bridal swimwear collection and the label's new ready to wear line. Kate Upton exploded into the scene this year after she landed the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with fellow Beach Bunny supermodel Irina Shayk, which she became Rookie of the Year for 2011. She was recently named Esquire’s Woman of the Year and has shot for countless publications. Kate has also worked with photographers Ellen Von Unwerth, Yu Tsai, Raphael Mazzucco, and Stewart Shining.
“We are thrilled about the design collaboration with Kate Upton and know this is a very exciting time for her career. She is sexy, yet confident and her fun loving and down to earth personality are traits that represent the Beach Bunny woman and brand as a whole.” I can’t wait to see how this year unfolds!” says Beach Bunny CEO and designer Angela Chittenden.
If Kate’s designs are any reflection of her thriving career, her suits are sure to cause a swimming sensation.
