GIVEAWAY | Trident General Store hats
Trident General Store, a brand known for their Southern California beach t-shirts with an undeniably East Coast aesthetic, is one of my favorite under-the-radar companies. A lot of us out in L.A. are transplants from the East or Midwest, and to be frank, it's easy to get frustrated looking for a simple SoCal beach t-shirt that isn't, well, totally cheesy. Thank goodness Trident General Store hit the scene a few years ago with their finely-tuned yet simple supply of t-shirts and hats (and one pretty fancy diamond necklace) that reminds me of an oversand vehicle permit sticker on an old Jeep on the shores of Nantucket.
One of the three partners, Jill Burnham, told me she has plans to expand up and down the coast of California with more beach tees, and wouldn't you know it, they're going to Nantucket too where I'm sure they'll be welcomed with open arms.

Mystic, Connecticut on the river. I used to go there with my parents on picnics when I was little...
Those hats are quite fabulous if anything at all.
The inner mermaid in me is going wild. Yes, yes, YES for tridents and hats that are casual but still way too cool for school :)
Thank you Lizzie (and the Trident General Store) for this lovely giveaway!
Hmm...my favorite beach.
The funny thing is that even though I live less than an hour from the beach, I'm never there! If only I had the time to head down to the beach and maybe learn to surf. That would be the life!
Of the few beaches I've been to, I'll have to say that my favorite is Newport Beach in Southern California!
My choice is so predictable but hey, I've had some pretty great times at that beach. Swim practices for hours, time spent just relaxing in the water, and lots and lots of sand in all sorts of random places. You can't beat some delicious food cooked over a bonfire, a lovely sunset, some sand, and that good old beachy California feel.
Man, thinking about my memories is making me miss the beach!
Hopefully I'll be able to make it out to the ocean once again one of these days.

No cars, no bridge and no problems. Lots of history with generations of families still living on their plots of land.
Nature surrounds you and the ocean is always in sight.
Though, I agree with Reese on the selling points of Carp. It's a close second.

Growing up in Idaho, we had few real "beaches" but I love love love camping next to a lake and waterskiing all day with my family.
My favorite real beaches were in New Zealand. Shipwreck Beach. 90-mile Beach. Mount Maunganui. Waikawau.
I went snorkeling there this summer and it was absolutely amazing.
