Reunited And It Feels So Good

Being friends for the past 8 years and business partners for the last 2 made it a little rough on the both of us when Michelle got the news she was moving to LA. We knew there would be no more Thursday wine nights, happy hours, shopping dates, blog get togethers and that alone brought both of us to tears. It has taken some adjustment since the move but we still communicate daily, FaceTime and talk on the phone when ever possible which is great but still doesn’t replace our time together. So after a few months of Michelle settling in to her new life in LA, Sarah knew she had to make the trip out west to visit her long lost bestie. So what do besties do?! They wear matching bathing suits to roof top pools. lol. Our friends at Karla Colletto reached out to us at the perfect time, right before Sarah’s trip so that we could try out our new favorite suits together with a drink in hand. We were especially excited about these suits because they were custom designed by Karla Colletto to celebrate Everything But Water’s 30th anniversary! The plunging neckline and cutouts with a vibrant red color makes […]

Swim At Your Own Risk

admin — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:41:16 +0000

While we were in Miami for Fashion week we had the amazing opportunity to check out the debut of Karla Colletto’s Cruise 2015 collection. This unique and creative capsule collection was the perfect collaboration with Washington D.C. based creative agency Design Army. Karla Colletto and creative director Pum Lefebure created the Swim At Your Own Risk capsule collection. They did an absolutely amazing job capturing creative composition with a signature look featuring exquisite construction and high-quality materials. So of course we had to check out the Design Army pool party at the Capitol Skyline Hotel August 22nd, celebrating the exclusive collection. The models were stunning, perfectly capturing a modern, witty and fresh new take on swimwear. The two beauties in the middle are non other than the creative director of Design Army, Pum Lefebure and Kim Thornton of Karla Colletto. “The modern woman is daring, and never shies away from adventure. She’s fun, she’s bold, and she’s always the first to dive off the boat or chase the next big wave. To me, that confidence is sexy.” -Pum Lefebure Handmade rings by Stephanie Sheehan Thank you Karla Colletto and Design Army for having us to your fabulous party! We can’t wait to rock the Swim At Your Own […]

Beyond The Runway: Miami Swim Week

admin — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 13:01:41 +0000

We arrived in Miami early Thursday morning with great anticipation and a very packed schedule ahead of us. We wanted to take full advantage of our visit and take in all that Mercedez Benz Fashion Swim Week 2015 had to offer in the little time that we had. As soon as we unpacked our bags we were off to the Ford Artists Beauty Suite on the Venetian Lady yacht for makeup and hair styling hosted by the ladies behind the charity Style Saves. This was much appreciated after a rough, early flight. Our Ford makeup artist and hair stylist were phenomenal and we thank them for their amazing work and help getting us ready! Poko Pano kicked off MBFW with the very first show on Friday at The Raleigh Hotel pool. We all clinched on to our fans and drastically tried to keep cool in the blistering heat. Thankfully the show was a splash, literally, and we soon forgot about the heat and humidity and enjoyed the show and MBFW 10 Year Anniversary party and opening night event. After a long and exhilarating first day of shows we were finally able to take a breather, relax… EAT…and enjoy some free time at the Salon Allure After Party […]
