Somewear: Sail to Sable!

My girlfriend who used to work at Lucky mag with me just started a new business called Sail to Sable. Raised by the water in Darien, Connecticut, she grew up visiting the beaches down the East Coast which is perfect, because Sail to Sable refers to the Easternmost and Southernmost spots on the Eastern Seaboard: Sail Rock, Maine and Cape Sable, Florida. Her collection includes tunics, placemats, napkins and pillows- all can be mixed and matched and are perfect for summer!  This adorable tunic (along with “Lively Lime”) are all on sale now in celebration of the holiday.  Just enter JULY4 at checkout!  Now, go shopping and have a safe and happy 4th!!

Somewear: Day Trip to Iguana Island

 

While in Turks, we have decided to take a mini-cruise to snorkel and check out Turks’ very popular Iguana Island, where (as I’m sure you can guess) tons of iguanas reside.  This outfit is perfect for sailing, but also exploring!  When prepping for a day out at sea, I must make sure to pack sunscreen, as well as the equally important SPF lip balm.  Now, I have my bag, my balm, and my bows and I’m ready to set sail!

Somewear: Cabanas with Cocktails (Or Mandalay Bay on Memorial Day)

My girlfriend, Sarah, has put me to my first task: a fab, yet affordable* “Memorial
Day moment” for her trip to Vegas.  This dress is meant to be seen poolside with piña colada in hand and when you get too toasty under the Sin City sun, this goddess-like dress magically transforms into a skirt.  Which is perfect for baring your patriotic striped bikini that’s hidden underneath!
