Professional surfers Monyca Byrne Wickey and Bruna Schmitz catch up in Aspen, Colorado and show us their favorite Olay Fresh Effects. Between surf breaks in Tahiti and snow filled runs on the mountain, these girls are always on the go and always need the perfect products to keep them naturally beautiful.
Don’t forget we’ve got another giveaway today filled with Monyca and Bruna’s favorite Olay Fresh Effects products and a $200 Roxy.com gift card to buy that new bikini and beach bag you’ve been eyeing!
It’s off to Aspen in the 3rd episode of the ‘Surf To Snow’ series, and no snow adventure would be complete without the queen of snowboarding and Olympic gold medalist Torah Bright in on the action.
Ice skating (or something close), toboggan riding, hot cocoa drinking and a day packed with snowboarding help round out this episode in snowy Colorado. We know the previous episode had you looking forward to warmer weather, but we’re thinking the cold might be winning back our hearts…how about yours?
It was only befitting that today’s Twitter giveaway was a Roxy snowboard (yep, the one Torah rides), a pair of Bright Edition goggles and an Olay Gift Pack!
Roxy girls are naturally beautiful. Here’s how Kelia Moniz and Bruna Schmitz stay fresh all day and at the beach using their Olay Fresh Effects! Enjoy the episode and get tweeting for a chance to win today’s #SurfToSnow giveaway!
One lucky winner will get this Olay gift pack plus a $200 Roxy gift card to get bikinis, sunnies, and whatever else you need to meet the waves.
Join the Roxy pros for two action packed days on the road in the ‘Surf to Snow: A Roxy Team Adventure’ series with Olay Fresh Effects. From point break surfing in Malibu with ASP World Longboard Champ Kelia Moniz and a gallery opening party with surfer/photographer Kassia Meador in Venice to backcountry snowboarding in Aspen with Olympic gold medalist Torah Bright this is a must-see series for all you Roxy girls!
We’ll be releasing a new vid every Tuesday for the next 5 weeks starting today (so mark your calendars!)…and if you guessed it, we’re giving away some awesome prizes every Tuesday (think snowboards, Olay Fresh Effects product, plus more)!

Our shirts have always been cheeky statement-makers and this fun Summer tee is no exception and a reminder that:“Life Is Better At The Beach”.
Kelia Moniz conjured up a simple T-shirt DIY between takes and waves in Tahiti! The best part? All you need is a pair of scissors and a little sunshine to make it all your own! Follow these easy steps and fill your closet with statement Roxy tees like this one!
Step 1: Using a pair of scissors cut off the sleeves on the inside of the seam
Step 2: Cut the bottom of the shirt directly above the seam
Step 3: Repeat this same step along the collar on the front and back (remember, below the seam!)
Step 4: Toss on your new Roxy shirt and gently tug the armpits to loosen to desired look
What we woke up to was nothing short of a Roxy dream. We quickly boarded a boat and drifted off to the secluded island of Moorea, with bikinis in tow and sandals in hand, we got ourselves ready for a swim with some friends. After that, we dove right in with a lagoon full of stingrays (Kelia’s little buds), sharks and other sea friends that were welcoming and waiting. Fast forward and we’re living on Tahiti Yacht catamarans a short ride away from one of the biggest and best offshore breaks in the world – Teahupoo. In true Polynesian fashion, we got the lay of the land with Raimana (aka the mayor of Tahiti) who showed us the best breaks, pineapple groves, sunset points, coral reefs, and most delicious Poisson Cru in town (yum!).
This is the Roxy way of life and we’re just starting to heat things up…Here’s some of our favorite pics from the beautiful Polynesian Island. #DAREYOURSELF to keep dreaming big…
That shave ice is going to have to wait: Oahu is one of Hawaii’s biggest and most bustling islands, so when you touch down in Honolulu, proceed directly to Waikiki to find a good spot on the sand.

How did the trip to Maldives inspire your own personal wardrobe or styling for the shoot?
The designers at Roxy do such an amazing job bringing out the personalities of their surfers and customers in their clothes. The Maldives was the perfect location to compliment the Roxy Spring ’13 collection. The vivd colors and fun patterns in the pieces worked great with the culturally rich and bright, beautiful surroundings. To complete the look and achieve the ultimate Roxy girl vibe, I incorporated bold colored and organic jewelry.
Where do you get your best inspiration from as a stylist?
Besides movies, television, fashion books, and magazines, my strongest inspiration comes from the people who surround me in the places I call home: New York City and Los Angeles. NYC is home to some of the most unique, creative, and fashionable people, while LA’s relaxed warm weather breeds more comfortable, confident, and free-spirited people.
How long have you been styling and how did you get into it?
I’ve been styling professionally for about 7 years now, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve been styling my family and friends.
I was born and raised on the west coast, but I always knew I wanted to live in New York, the fashion capital. After graduating college, I decided to make the move. I got very lucky early on and was given the opportunity to assist a stylist on a commercial. She took a chance on me given that I had no real professional styling experience of my own. After that, I was hooked. Through contacts and acquaintances, I went on to style TV shows and photo shoots, and within a short time, went off on my own.
What was your most memorable moment while styling the surfers in the Maldives?
The Roxy girls are pure fun – there is never a dull moment. Some of my most memorable Maldives moments are watching Kelia [Moniz]and Kassia [Meador] surf wearing the saltwater chinos, Bruna [Schmitz] swaying a little boat back and forth almost tipping it over, and Monyca [Byrne-Wickey] and Sally [Fitzgibbons] dancing at the bow on our way to a remote sand island. Oh and of course the day all the girls decided to jump off the top level of our 4 story boat into the water. Sorry, there are just too many, I couldn’t give you just one moment…
Any tricks of the trade that every girl should know?
Besides investing in fashion staples such as jeans, the perfect T, the “go with everything” bag…the best and most important thing to wear is confidence. If you feel great, you look great.
If you weren’t styling…what would you dare to be doing?
I love food and I love traveling. If I wasn’t a stylist, I would absolutely love to be a traveling food critic!
Thanks to Tal Kohen for answering our ‘need-to-knows’ and to all the girls looking to get a little inspiration in their own lives, remember to dream big and #DAREYOURSELF everyday. See all of Tal’s top picks for Spring!
