WE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOVING THESE PHOTOS SHOT BY THE BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED LAUREN ROSS. IT MAKES US WANT TO JUMP ON A PLANE TO MAUI, WHERE WE CAN PLAY ON THE BEACH AND BE CAREFREE. THE HAPPINESS AND JOY THAT LAUREN CATCHES THROUGH BEAUTIFUL MALLORY’S SMILE PLANTS US RIGHT IN THE SCENE OF THEM LAUGHING AND ROLLING AROUND IN THE SAND AS THE SUN SETS OVER THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. WE ARE LOVING THE SHIKOKU BOTTOM AND SUMATRA TOP, SHOT IN WHAT BETTER COLOR, SAND….

THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE SKIPPING TOWN AND HEADING TO THE COUNTRY. DAYS SPENT ON A RANCH ARE FILLED WITH AFTERNOONS PICKING AVOCADOS, LONG WALKS ON EMPTY BEACHES WHERE THE ONLY COMPANY YOU HAVE ARE THE HAND SELECTED SEASHELLS, GULLS, AND MOUNDS OF DRIED SEAWEED, AND RIDING IN THE BEDS OF TRUNKS, ARE THE BEST DAYS.DREAMING OF HEADING BACK TO THE RANCH SOON FOR SOME R+R AND SOLITUDE.

THIS LAST WEEK, ONE OF THE LARGEST AND BUSIEST CONTESTS EVER WENT ON IN HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA. IT WAS FUN CATCHING UP WITH GIRLFRIENDS FROM ALL STRETCHES OF THE EARTH, GETTING SOME SUN, WATCHING THE ALWAYS INTERESTING CROWDS, AND WATCHING MY MAN, KELLY, WIN! I AM SO PROUD AND IT WAS SO FUN TO BE PART OF THESE CRAZY FESTIVITIES! CONGRATS KELLY!

“The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach–waiting for a gift from the sea.”

[ Santorini One-Piece and Biarritz Maxi Dress by Mikoh Swimwear, Vintage bangles from Ava + Aliria ]
I’ve been notoriously known to have an overflowing bikini drawer thanks to my seaside upbringing. But in my years of accumulating various prints, colors and styles, I never once braved the one-piece, until this Summer. At a recent Mikoh swimwear trunk show, I fell in love with this bright yellow one-piece that’s simple yet incredibly sexy at the same time. I wore it over the weekend when it was too hot to be anywhere else but the pool.
