Summer Countdown!

Can you believe it? Summer is only ONE day away! But really, let's be honest, I've been counting down for the past few months, dreaming of the rooftop bashes, outdoor bbqs, beach trips and sweltering heat that ultimately go hand-in-hand with this time of year. 

To celebrate the new season ahead, I wanted to share with you guys some fun snaps I took with the awesome street-style shooter Melodie Jeng for Sunglass Hut's own summer countdown & social media campaign, which as you might have guessed from the photos, took place some 26 days ago. We headed out to Coney Island for the shoot, which mostly involved an epic battle with the wind that was especially strong that day and threatened every minute to carry away our metallic balloon numbers. In the end, despite all my efforts, I couldn't keep ahold of that slippery little #1 balloon, and we just managed to grab a snap as it was brisked away to a better place. With only one day standing in between us and summer, I thought this would be the perfect time to commemorate its loss.
