We all dream of a tropical getaway; a trip filled with white sandy beaches, umbrellas in our drinks and a golden tan that never burns. For most, this dream stays a dream. So for now, we will have to settle with living this fantasy through model and beach beauty KJ Skorge, who recently escaped to Hawaii for an unforgettable vacation.
PS. SoCal baes, our Vintage Aloha collection will be as low as $35 a piece this weekend at the semi-annual Newport Blow Out Sale, and select styles will be on sale on sanlorenzohawaii.com this weekend as well!

We were lucky enough to join the journey (or at least our bikinis did) as she partnered with local photographers to capture her time on the island. She also opened up to us about modeling, her time on the island and what people don’t know about her!

What got you interested in modeling?
I have always wanted to model since I was a little girl. I was scouted at 15 and shortly after I signed with my first agency.

Where did you draw inspiration for your recent shoot in Hawaii, featuring our swimwear?
In my recent shoot in Hawaii, I was very inspired by the new locations and adventures. I was going for a look that resembled a girl on vacation that never wanted to leave- which was the case with me while I was there.

What was your favorite part about shooting in Hawaii?
I loved all the locations. I have been to Hawaii many times before, but having local photographers take me around and show me the best spots made it so special and interesting.

What was one thing you did on the island that you’d never done before?
I rented a motorcycle and I took it around the island which was super fun and different for me.
