This summer’s pop-up almost didn’t happen! I had planned to take a break to spend quality time with my family visiting from Slovakia, but fate had other plans. A spontaneous trip to Nordstrom’s liquidation sale led to an irresistible find: mannequins at a fraction of their usual cost! That lucky strike set everything in motion, and before I knew it, we were planning another pop-up. With an amazing staff handling the store, I still managed to cherish moments with my family while bringing our coastal boho vision to life in a stunning Gastown space.

Vancouver Is Awesome featured our Surf Lounge Pop-Up, highlighting our handcrafted, sustainable resort wear and collaborations with women-owned brands. The article celebrated our blend of coastal elegance and slow fashion, making the space a one-stop shop for beach and vacation vibes

Our Surf Lounge Vancouver pop-up brought coastal chic fashion to the heart of Gastown. Our pop-up was more than just a shop, it was a love letter to the vibrant coastal lifestyle that inspires everything we create.  We transformed an unconventional retail space into a sun-kissed haven, brimming with the laid-back charm of the seaside.

This lookbook is a celebration of travel and the transformative effect it can have on one's life. It's the story of a girl who falls in love with the little Spanish town of Cadaqués.

What started as a short trip turns into an entire summer of adventure. As she walks the beaches, swims in the ocean, and explores the town she also explores her own life. At once she discovers the world, she discovers herself... 

With travel comes a refreshing kind of freedom. Freedom from our old ways, from sameness, from routine. 

Travel detaches us from the known and throws us into the unknown. This is where we learn, grow, discover. Here we can feed our souls, our minds, our bodies and our creativity. Travel is where we blossom.

Eyes set on new things, new sights, new ways of living, allowing us to decide what works best for us, what works for who we truly are. 

What is more refreshing than summer whites? The chic simplicity of it allows you to go anywhere and do anything and always be dressed for the occasion. Follow your journey in bohemian summer whites by Anna Kosturova.
