What can I say about The Beach Boys that hasn't been said before? This dynamic American band has been around since 1961, capturing all that is California with its beachy, surfy tunes focused on cars, girls and freewheeling lifestyle. I love the BB's thanks to their wonderful harmonizing abilities - aside from The Beatles, this type of group harmonizing and the sharing of singing roles is hard to come by. Of course, I also love The Beach Boys because they epitomize summer fun fun fun to me and who doesn't love that?
That's not to say The Beach Boys was all lighthearted fluff - Brian Wilson, who formed the band along with his brothers and his cousin, battled with drugs and mental illness on a daily basis. In fact, if you've seen Walk Hard, you'll recognize that Brian Wilson is parodied a lot in that move, most notably in the scenes where Dewey Cox went batshit crazy and wanting more and more sounds in his recordings (like a dijirido). Wilson went through a similar phase, branching out and becoming very expiremental...and just plain mental. It's actually very interesting, so I recommend you learn more about the story of The Beach Boys if you want to find more about their turbulent journey.
That aside, whenever you listen to The Beach Boys you can't help but pretend youre soaking up the sun, sea salt and waves on an endless vacation.
Wouldn't it be nice....

That dress is so unexpected and gorgeous, love it.
love the dress!! very beautiful pics makes me wanna go to the beach now!
that dress is SO cute! i can't wear necklines like that because my boobs enjoy meandering to opposite sides of my ribcage without the guidance of underwire, so dresses like that just show off my sternum ;-) you look fantastic in it!
Wow, those photographs are great and that dress is stunning!
I LOVE that dress! It's so bright and fun and it looks great on you :-)
OMG, my jaw literally dropped when I saw that dress! Kinda reminds me of Snow White too!
i hadn't even considered pairing that necklace with a low-cut dress and i must say, it looks AMAZING! as for the cynthia vincent wedges, they're remarkably comfortable. i think you need to find yourself a pair stat :)
To repeat what everyone else has said, holy crap, that dress is freakin' stunning!
I love the first and last shots. The beach always looks the best to me when it's a bit desolate and has some tall grass growing through the sand. What a perfect place for pictures! I love the colors of the dress, too.
Wow! Love the vibrant colours on your dress!
xx

ps- I've just started learning a little bit more about Brian Wilson. The Beach Boys are geniuses. My mom saw them in concert back in the day.
I love the beach. Which one are you at?
Cool dress!

Thanks everyone - you know, I never thought of it as Snow White until I saw a picture of her...totally spot-on!
