I’m slowly watching my tan sadly fade. Summer isn’t over just yet, is it? With work, I’ve been stuck in the city shooting, rushing right once I’m done Friday evenings to hop in the car with a small suitcase, a bag full of potato chips, and a new playlist. Frazzled. Shelter Island, here we come! But just wait, I’ve got loads more travels up my sleeve. It’s all worth the craziness of GETTING THERE. This time, I packed the ultimate black bikini. Black and white on the beach is my favorite. Against the colorful swimsuits and reflector sunglasses you do stick out like a sore thumb. Simple is sometimes better. The netted white tank and white denim shorts just happen to be bare necessitites….what I throw on before and after a good paddleboarding session. I could live the island life forever and ever.

For night, I go for eclectic colors and prints. This gorgeous twin set byNicole Miller is striking and easy. A sailcoth stripe! It feels lived in. I can’t wait for our NM Warrior campaign shoot to come out (yep, starring the Suarez Sisters!) Stay tuned.

I’m all about the teeny tiny pops of neon. This sheer blouse is pure perfection. I love the hint of pink. It’s a perfect POP to go with the rest of the black and grungy fringe in my current closet. This was snapped one weekend in Brooklyn after a long day scavenger hunting with GANT in Boreum Hill and Williamsburg (I haven’t done a scavenger hunt since I was a kid!) I think my legs were about to fall off after all the walking, Uber rides, mapquesting, and video-taking. But there were perks, like finding new rad little places I’ll continue to make a pit-stop at: like the Blind Barber for coffee and Modelos, and Miles End Deli for sandwiches and pickles the size of my head. Mmhmm. It was a full day to explore new parts of our city, and make new friends along the way. I’m always the one who has to stop and stare at sunset. Magic hour is my favorite hour.

I’m once again out of town this weekend in the Hamptons to escape and unwind before a long day of work. Currently in a bikini in bed overlooking the swimming pool. YES. Tomorrow I’m shooting a super exciting campaign bright and early (can’t wait to share what!) Make sure to follow this week’s ON DUTY adventures on my Instagram.
