Vencie Beach Homeless Encampment Drone View



Mike, aka German in Venice, vlogs about daily life in Venice Beach. His newest video is a continuation of his series on the homeless encampments that have taken over Venice Beach. In this video, he gets drone footage of the homeless encampment.

"Today was a beautiful day, I took my brand new drone DJI Mavic Mini out and took some video of the homeless encampment in Venice Beach.

Love In Venice - Frankie's Bikinis



From Frankie's Bikinis

As the summer season comes to a close, we want to head into the Fall season with a bang. The Love in Venice collection delivers an entire range of newness including six never-before-seen prints, three brand new silhouettes and a compilation of our best-selling styles in both apparel and swimwear. Inspired by the buzzing beach town that is Venice, California. Known for its bohemian spirit, funky shops, free spirited residents, and colorful streets -- our collection Love in Venice was born.

Our inspiration behind this collection comes largely from the beach and our love for the ocean -- introducing prints like our “Mowie Wowie” hot pink Hawaiian flower print (which you may have seen on Sofia Richie) and our “Sherbet” tie-dye which resembles that perfect sunset over the water on a hot day. As always, the silhouettes were designed to mix and match as you please to achieve the desired coverage and fit you are looking for. The swimwear in each print can be paired back with the apparel for an effortless beach to street look, or to simply add a little layering to your look no matter where you are.



The collection re-introduces some of our top selling swimwear like the Tavi, Tasha and Francesca sets as well as the Cash One Piece who’s silhouette sold out within 24 hours in a previous collection. Our sweatpants, cropped hoodies and sweat shorts also make an appearance in new printed fabrics, alongside our best-selling terrycloth Rose Romper and Coco Set (which you may have seen Hailey Bieber wearing recently).



Along with these top styles, we introduce three brand new terry cloth apparel silhouettes - our Canal cropped tee, Windward mini skirt, and Kinney one-shoulder dress. These pieces are so versatile and perfect for lounging around your home, throwing on to run errands, or even a cute and comfortable date night outfit.

Santa Monica Looking For Artists To Paint Murals



Santa Monica Cultural Affairs is accepting submissions from Santa Monica nonprofits, businesses and Los Angeles artists for art and culture projects as part of the City of Santa Monica’s economic recovery efforts. Cultural Affairs has launched a new Art of Recovery initiative to harness the power of the arts in the City’s economic, community, and health recovery efforts.

Art of Recovery is launching with a pair of projects at some of the City’s most notable locations, Main Street, Santa Monica Pier, and Downtown. Local artists will transform the plain k-rail concrete safety dividers that line Main Street’s al fresco dining and retail experience into colorful works of art to create a vibrant destination and corridor.



So if you want to put your art on some of the K-Rails throughout the city, sign up on the Art of Recovery Artist Application

Meet Lou Porter. A California Native, who loves the beach, surfing and sharing her stories and experiences everyone she encounters. Lou has been coming to Topanga Beach, just north of Los Angeles for years. She takes photos and videos of people surfing and posts them to Instagram and Facebook. Although not a surfer herself she has become a staple in many people's daily routines greeting them as they go in and out to surf.

Lou is committed, she follows the surf charts and on days when there is surf, makes her way from Chatsworth to the beach, a 20 mile commute over the Santa Monica mountains but when the surf is up Lou is there.

A couple of us surfers want to support Lou to get her an upgrade. We are looking to get people from the community to pool together to get her a new camera with a zoom and tripod, to support her. Most of all we want to share our appreciation and enthusiasm for her dedication to the beaches we surf at most.

Please donate!.
