PASTEL PAIRING

The end of summer to me means squeezing every last drop out of sunny days by the beach and warm nights. I regularly wear swimsuits as shorts, which can easily translate when going from the beach to the bar. This pair from my current favorite swim brand Venroy Sydney features a muted color and great fit.

Summer, don't go!

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.

RIPPED AND READY

This look is a perfect expression of my current style: ripped jeans, cool shoes, a bold tank, mirrored shades topped off with a blazer and probably the raddest palm tree lapel pin ever.

Love running around in the sun on the weekends in this 'fit!
