CHILLIN' IN MIAMI

Recently got back from Miami, a trip filled with sun, swimming, events, spending time with pals, and enjoying some much needed chill time.

From the top...

1. My outfit matching the background of blue water and furniture was a total coincidence but made for a good photo! Wearing Ray-Ban Clubmaster in Black/Gold, H&M Linen Shirt, Topman Denim Shorts, Adidas Adilette Slides.

2. The water in Miami is unreal... crystal clear heaven.

3. A moment of relaxation wearing H&M Patterned Swim Shorts.

4. With my girls Helen and Alyssa at brunch at Soho Beach House, wearing H&M Pull Over Shirt and Boardies Apparel swimsuit.

5. Sun sun sun!

6. Working on my tan, wearing H&M Short Sleeved Shirt, H&M Patterned Swim Shorts, Soludos x Cuisse de Grenouille Surf Smoking Slipper Espadrilles.

7. PEACE OUT, MIAMI!

RECENTLY X WINTER 2015

And just like that, it's a new year. Hard to believe that 2015 is now just a memory, however this notion of a fresh start and putting the previous year behind us occurs like clockwork. There are many aspects of 2015 that I am more than ready to close the book on, however there were some very special and unforgettable moments last year as well.

Now before I move full-throttle into 2016, I wanted to provide my usual visual recap of these past few winter months.

From the top:

1. A highlight of the season was most definitely my dear friend Jen coming to visit, to see the unforgettable Madonna concert!

2. A sorbet sunset in Beverly Hills with the most massive palms holding court.

3. A chilly afternoon of rosé overlooking the ocean on the Malibu pier with my friend and client Oleema of MIKOH.

4. Shadow play.

5. A gloomy afternoon in Santa Monica.

6. Cheers to champagne, Diptyque candles and my Hermes CDC.

7.  B&W beauties.

8. Watching a storm roll in on the corner of Sunset Blvd. and Crescent Heights in my neighborhood of West Hollywood.

9. Off duty in Venice wearing Happiness Turca Sweats with Natalie.

10. What can I say? I love palms and a sunset.

11. Rise and fall.

12. California Christmas trees.

ZACK X MAUI 2015

Some stunning snaps to share with you from my recent heavenly birthday trip to Maui alongside my favorite one-of-a-kind partner in crime, my best friend Colton.

A word to describe this trip to Maui? WOWIE.

Colton and I stayed at The Four Seasons Maui at Wailea which provided us with breathtaking views at every vista. I couldn't have celebrated my birthday in a more unforgettable way. Towering palms, white sand, turquoise water, fresh poké, freezing drinks, lava banks, sunset swims, decadent meals, exploratory drives, and lots and lots of laughter. Take me back!

In case you were wondering, my Maui essentials consisted of:

The Beach People's The Marjorelle Beach Towel
H&M swim trunks
Ray-Ban Aviators in Gold Polarized Orange Mirror
Soludos espadrilles

Epic time.

RECENTLY X MAY + JUNE 2015

Now that summer is really starting to heat up and the dreary June Gloom that us Angelenos tend to be so familiar with during this time of year is starting to dissipate, I've found myself either beachside or poolside what seems to be every weekend. Not that I would have it any other way, of course.

Rounding up a selection of images from the past month or so in this post... feel free to follow along on my visual journey!

From the top...

1 - 5. Beached at my favorite place, Point Dume in Malibu, wearing Ray-Ban Aviators in Gold Polarized Orange Mirror and Soludos' Barca Stripe in Navy/White and laying on my new favorite The Beach People's The Majorelle Beach Towel. Perfect.

6. Beach Daze. Enough said.

7. Rihannarama in the new issue of V Magazine, accompanied by my Komono Dreyfuss Clear Sunglasses and Eton Palm Tree Lapel Pin.

8. Pool party! Enjoying some rooftop sun at the Standard Hotel downtown with jamz provided by Shae B.

9. Love flipping through the new issue of PORTER and seeing Joan Smalls wearing MIKOH, with a side of iced coffee and Proof Eyewear's Hayburn Wood Sunglasses.

10. Can't tell you how stoked I am to have my signed Andy Warhol Torsos print back from the framers! Now where to hang it...

11. Palms on palms on palms.

12 - 13. Speaking of palms, here are some snaps from my weekend getaway to Santa Barbara during Memorial Day Weekend '15.

14. Is my new Gray Malin The Orange Inner Tubes phone case perfect for summer or what?

15. High contrast fronds.

16. When your shades match the doors at the Parker Palm Springs.

17- 20. Poolside during this past weekend in the desert, and that iconic Parker Palm Springs entrance.
