amazing weekend getaway on the cheap

it was me & maj's first year anniversary this past weekend and since I had been traveling for the past three weeks to boston, los angeles and miami on business, I wanted to spend some quality summer snuggle time with my man. I got home from the miami swimshow on wednesday night and thursday morning we were off and running. a $17 chinatown bus from nyc to DC has us visiting family and eating yummy soul fusion food at creme on U street. friday morning we picked up our enterprise rental and headed to the outer banks, north carolina. our adorable no frills hotel, ocean house motel at milepost 9.5 in kill devil hills was a perfect hideaway with great prices. I rocked my bikini thief zuma in black on the beach as we baked our Mediterranean skin. we ate a ton of DQ blizzards (mine, cookie dough & his, heath bar), delicious fish at mako mike's, putt putt at sunset and an incredible sunset ecology tour with captain lenny of soundside adventures to watch the purple martins descend on the manteo bridge. we were in the car, sunday morning, bellies filled with grits and bad coffee from stack 'em high to make the five hour trek back to DC. we got to our destination with just enough time to catch my 6pm appearance on TV Guide Channel's Fashion Team (which I rated a solid A -- video post to follow soon). a veggie chinese dinner in chinatown DC capped off our amazing weekend. naps on the bus had us in NYC early morning and in bed to dream of Dairy Queen.

from miami fashion week: trend alert

the fashionistas and miami scene showed up in support of their miami fashion week and new trends were en fuego! most lovelies in the front row at the kelly cutrone-called shows were decked out in flow-y dresses with a spectrum of rainbow colors and pretty, soft graphics. color is the color du jour. the cutie pictured above got her right on trend find at h & m so the fashion elite is available for everyone! the swimwear for 2011 follows the same suit with bold colors and busying prints, with lisa blue, beach bunny and of course, bikini thief being the names to watch!

day one

me & bikini thief maven, whitney andresen are rockin' down in miami in booth 554 at the miami swim show 2011. in the last 24 hours, we've seen the kardashians (and their asses - I'm still bowled over by it) hit miami fashion week, got stuck in two major downpours, feasted on blue cocktails and had our heads spin by the worldof swimwear at the swimshow. its day one and we had a blast with our model, katya more. she's the sweetest. and I absolutely loved the look of the new york buyers and press. you can always tell a state by its style. and new yorkers do it best.

miami nice

fresh off the plane from shooting the tv guide segment on maternity swimwear (which will air sunday, july 25 at 6pm -- keep you posted!), designer whitney andresen and I are headed to miami to rep the freshest bikini line ever, bikini thief at the miami swimshow. if you're in the area, stop by our booth. deets in the invite above.

happy fourth!

heading to beantown to celebrate our country's Independence by the sea. packed my U.S.A. flip flops that I picked up at target in the $1 bin. got my tamarindo suit packed. and my sailor-striped romper ready to rock over smores and sparklers on the beach.
