Beachy Orchids

The elegance of orchids and the laid back casualness of the beach seems, at first,  like an odd pairing.   At Topiaire in Southampton last week, they perfectly paired rustic  beach signs with an abbondanza of orchids.

Conrad the man/boy left for three weeks of sailing in the Caribbean.   We shopped for the perfect board shorts for weeks.  Unfortunately, I didn’t discover these until yesterday. I wonder if he would wear these amazing beachy-chic board shorts from Shortomatic?

I found Shortomatic via Style.com and think it’s the most brilliant concept.  Upload your own graphics and design your own board shorts.  A wonderful spin on my love of all things personalized.  The shorts come in sizes to fit both men and women.  For the effort,  I don’t think that any design I could come up with would please me more than these white and hot pink shorts emblazoned with variegated phalaenopsis. 

The beach + orchids =  my new favorite flavor!
