For someone who goes to the beach maybe twice a year and hasn’t had a tropical vacation in two years, I have a thing for collecting bikinis. Give me anything white or black (duh), laced up, asymmetrical, or straight cut, and I’m a goner. I recently discovered Xandra Swimwear and love the selection they carry, a lot of which is from under-the-radar brands that I haven’t seen elsewhere.

They are popping up in San Francisco for the month of June, so if you’re in the Bay Area, join me this Friday to welcome the pool party-themed shop to the Mission with light bites and of course lots of bikinis! I’ve already got my eye on this black one-piece version of the set I’m wearing, this black top, and this top.
