Over the weekend, I got invited to Aeropostale x Reprieve’s exclusive Malibu Beach House experience featuring a variety of programming, musical performances, and activations celebrating their eco-friendly collection in Malibu. The collection features eco-friendly jeans made from plastic bottles that give you sustainable, superior stretch. The first day, Saturday, included Rumble Boxing class with Rumble Trainer Nicklas Lundblad, a performance by James Kennedy, brunch hosted by Host Catering and Bites and Batch, and a panel with speakers on sustainability, fashion, and the environment. The second day, Sunday, included yoga and meditation with Exhale Spa, a BBQ Brunch by Gaucho on Fire, denim customization, and a performance by Rachel Crow. I drove down on Sunday afternoon with my friend Lea. I was especially excited because this was my first time being able to drive to Malibu by myself. The drive was shorter than normal because there wasn’t any traffic and we arrived in a little over an hour. As much as I love driving, parking has always been a struggle for me, so it took me a while to find a good spot. Lea and I strutted into the event. I was wearing a white dress from Red Dress with a pair of wedges and Lea was wearing her stylish vintage jeans from Levi’s and a fuzzy sweater from Forever 21.

The front of the house was beautifully decorated with four jean mannequins holding flowers and spelling out the word AERO and a couple photo back drops.

Inside, there were many friendly faces, a stunning pool, a stage, a bar, and a booth with shirts, jeans, and towels.  Lea and I walked around the party introducing ourselves to the other guests and people working for the company.

We got to try Hint Waters summer flavors and got gifted a towel, a shirt, jean shorts, and two pairs of jeans. Then, we watched an amazing performance by Rachel Crow and got to talk to her about her career. After a lot of socializing and pictures, we decided to stop at Nobu for some sushi.

We enjoyed our edamame beans and California rolls along with the breathtaking view of the sunset. After our meal, we sadly had to head home because we had school the next day. As we were driving, we both were craving something sweet and stopped for milkshakes and then did some shopping at the Target in Oxnard.

It was a great event and I am so thankful for the opportunity to have gone. I’m looking forward to my next road trip to Los Angeles!
