Something different: fashion and cocktails

This summer has been fast-paced and exciting.  In addition to my photography work (which I am still enjoying immensely) my husband and I have been involved with Everything But Water, the largest independent retailer of swim and resortwear in the US. My husband is the Chairman of the company. I am currently acting as Head of Marketing, in addition to my career in photography (yes- it's been quite a year, but all good!).

I have been particularly involved in re-launching the company's brand and developing new content areas.  One of my favorite aspects of this is the style section of the website that features our lookbooks, fashion inspiration/trends and great videos from our fashion shoots.

This week's style story is about some our favorite summer looks, perfect for the pool party, getaway and beyond and custom cocktail pairings that Paul Lowe developed exclusively for us.

I'm teasing you with a little snippet - if you are intrigued, hop on over here to read the full story ...

... including the recipes.

While you are there, if you find anything tempting, we're offering a special discount for blog readers, but only for this week (until end of day Friday).  Shipping is free.  See what tempts you.  If you are not in the market for swimwear, check out the gorgeous jewelry, great hats, and fab totes in the accessories section.

Yes - this isn't exactly one of my typical posts - but I did shoot the drinks in this story - and this has been a recent passion of mine, so I thought I'd share.
