Surfing, diving, kiteboarding… not much is too extreme for Andre. But sometimes, you just have to kick it with your favorite pair of sunglasses and soak in the island splendor.

A custom swimsuit/wedding attire and the ideal wedding venue—Shannon was on Cloud 9 on her big day and def had that “Just Married” glow.

Ain’t nothing like hanging with your best friend in the late summer sun. ‘Nuff said.

New bikini, hot shades, cool hair. That’s a fast track to a dang good day.

“Suns Out 👅 Tongues Out!” Really though, we’re not sure our Rose Theater sunglasses have ever looked as good as they do on Kylee here. “WeRateDogs” would easily give this 12/10.

A sun-soaked day of summer pooling is hard to beat… especially when you get to share it with your favorite guy, like Pauli did here.
