Really excited about the new batch of turbands I just debuted online. Say hello to the new “destination” turbands, inspired by two of my favorite places: Mykonos, and Palm Beach.

Mykonos Turband in Gold, $44

Mykonos Turband in Royal, $44

Palm Beach Turband in Kelly Green, $44

Palm Beach Turband in Navy, $44

Don’t you just love terrycloth? It’s one of my favorite textiles. Both of these are perfect for a weekend getaway. Don’t be afraid to get them wet!

Greetings From Miami Swim Week

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

Miami and Fashion… what do you think when you hear those two words together? Well, swim and resort wear of course! It’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim here in Miami. That means loads of shows, previews, and parties.

I’m only halfway through the festivities and am already ready to kick off my doc martens and checkout. Well… maybe not just yet.

Here is my boyfriend and I (right) outside the tents at the Raleigh Hotel on day 1:

Then there was the White Sands show. The pieces were ultra feminine, delicate, and some were versatile enough to be worn into night.

I also attended the Beach Bunny show, but wasn’t lucky enough to get any good pics. Here is a snapshot of the finale, where the girls were rocking the Beach Bunny Bridal Collection.

Wildfox Swim debuted its first collection last night at the Raleigh penthouse. The preview event was casual and informal just like the brand itself. Love this kitty one piece!

Lastly, here is a pic of my new business cards I just had made. I think they came out pretty cute.

I am blown away! Artist Francisca Paiva created a watercolor masterpiece featuring our Americana turband. The limited accessory is available exclusively at Nasty Gal.
