ZACK X MIAMI SWIM WEEK 2015

This year's trip to Miami for Swim Week was, in a word, hot. And not just temperature wise. Don't get me wrong, the Miami climate was expectedly soupy, which truth be told did wonderful things for my complexion. Miami Swim Week sizzled this year thanks to nonstop runway shows, after parties, and celebrations that may or may not have included drinking lots of tequila at a club that doubled as a late-night taco shop.

No matter how hectic this wild weekend of babes in bikinis got, I found refuge on the sand and in the ocean. When all was said and done, the final moments of the weekend on the beach with friends was what I'll take away from this scorcher of a trip.

Wearing:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Aviators in Gold Polarized Orange Mirror
Shirt: MIKOH Tahiti Nui in Polynesian Palm
Jeans: Mott & Bow Thompson in Black
Swimsuit: Venroy Sydney Peach Solid Trunks
Shoes: Soludos Smoking Slippers in Palm Trees Black & White

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.
