INNER CITY BEACH PART 1

Swimwear worn for various reasons... not just for swimming! Adds a splash of colour or print to an outfit, and can be revealed from under a vest if your feeling confident, or a sneaking a quick tanning session in the park. Wearing a bikini in town can almost make you're feel like your nearer the sun and sea!

MIA BASHMENTS PART 1

Miami Fashion Week was this past july. Miss me and i headed over to South Beach to kill it our presence. the tradeshow for the industry, Miami Swim, was having 3 days of exhibitions at the convention centre whilst Mercedes Benz hosted the catwalk shows at The Raleigh Hotel, one of my most loved places in the 305 district. It was a chance for us to get to know the industry, make some new contacts, show off all our hot summer outfits and GET A TAN! armed with a Micheal Kors bikini and Miss Me with her new Versace blinging necklace, take a look at the start of my picture diary….


these sunglasses were $25 from a shop on Bedford avenue in willyburg...my summer love


miss me & i in front of the reception tents


every night for 3 nights there were fashion shows with flowing cocktails


two days in the sun gets my pocahantus skin brown already so I wore a bikini top under a crisp white Reiss shirt with a crazy ass shell necklace I got from the Philippines. oh and avec a rattan clutch I got from Portobello market


had lunch with Induce, a sweet local MIA DJ, at the standard, one of my favourite getaways…the nicoise salad is delish


its all very martin parr...you gotta revel in the tack and glam melange of miami


miss me & I hit the beach every morning since our lil condo was right on ocean drive (bit touristy but at $60 a night stop complaining)


not quite Mario testino but brown bodies with their backs to the sun are sexy


the new girls on our block, emily & Jackie, from HOUSE OF JACKIE BROWN, a dope bikini label – met emily at the miss behave magazine party days before flying to MIA and we hit it off….needless to say us four caused much tequila trouble for the next few days.


my secret boo took me to dinner at tap tap, this haitian restaurant off collins. it had this painting on the wall of this voodoo goddess of love

MAMMA KITTEN & MISS ME

we heart the beach!

the smell of coconuts, annoying sand in between toes, the oily film of Hawaiian Tropic all over your skin, swimming in cool water that just fixes your heated body, the palm trees, the endless cocktails - we're all about it!

living in New York and London we dream of the ocean everyday which is why we decided to relieve our frustrations by getting going with a blog thats about bikinis, the sun, and all the destinations we escape to when we're stuck commuting and in the commotion of city life. it's also going to be all about music, style, food...all the other lifestyle stuff that lives close to our love of everything BEACH!

so here we are
