She made my heart beat in a now-now time signature

wearing SOLARA SWIMWEAR Malachite High Waist, Melanite Monokini & RAYBAN Aviators

My summer seems to be a series of survival challenges. The tropical storm last weekend proved to be a bit of a tough one to get through, health wise. On Friday we started our yearly "Boracay Bound" - an event sponsored to the nines, attended by celebs and supermodels, who get down and dirty and so silly things like run down the beach tied to each other and then pull all-night-intoxication-acts, only to wake up much to early and do it all over again the next day. This year, I played for the same team again, Team Seair led by my friend Marc Nelson of course, my second year in a row playing on his team.. what happens when you mix two people as competitive as us? Lots of shouting (Marc) and cussing (Dane). Whatta team!

In the finals we were joined by my girl Sandra Seifert, who is also one half of the design team behind the brand new swimsuit line SOLARA, her other half being none other than the gorgeous, and newly married Maggie Wilson-Consunji. I was lucky enough to model for their first two shows, and got to choose two pairs to keep. I'm mad about the high waist bikini, which hides all sorts of tummy issues, and the monokini is a classic piece. Get yours at www.solaraswimwear.com.

One of our prizes for winning 1st (again!) was a pair of RayBan sunglasses.. I was lucky enough to get the pair I really wanted; the classic Aviator. Definitely worth the obstacle course in the heat and then playing volleyball and ultimate Frisbee in the rain.. also almost worth my persistent colds! Photos from the awarding night fashion show hopefully in the next post!
