Perfect for basking on the beach is a little something from BlackBook Bikini in Encinitas. Founded by Leucadia resident Pamela Dirkes, the boutique carries a unique collection of well-made brands you won’t find everywhere including Boys & Arrows, Gigi C, Mara Hoffman, Onia, Vitamin A, and Rhythm. Besides fun, well-fitting swimwear, the shop sells t-shirts, cut-offs, cover-ups, and jumpsuits. Dirkes, who opened BlackBook a year ago on South Coast Highway, chose Encinitas because, she says, “the community itself is extremely loyal, shopping small and staying local.” Dirkes believes women should look fabulous, whether relaxing poolside or paddle boarding. 760.487.1788, blackbookbikini.com   Andrea Naversen
