8 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I first met Devin of A Bikini a Dayand Monday Swimwearearlier this year at a dinner party. It was one of those dinner party's where the seats were assigned; sometimes you get lucky and some times perhaps not so much, but this time, I definitely got lucky! Devin and I hit it off, right away, and I knew right away we needed to work together on a Home Tourstory. Naturally, considering our mutual appreciation for the beach, I was not at all surprised whenDevin gravitated towards the A la Plage series. The timing couldn't be more perfect to showcase Devin's home too as everything you see here as well as the entire A la Plage series is on sale, all you need to do is enter BEACH30 at checkout for 30% off your order (includes framing in the US!). Okay, now that you know that super important information, lets have Devin tell us a little bit more about herself and how she chose these prints for her home..

"Hi Everyone, I was raised on the beautiful little island of Maui where I lived until I was 17 years old. As magical as Hawaii was to grow up in, I always knew I wanted to move to LA. After I finished school I packed up, left the island and moved to Los Angeles where I’ve been ever since! Four years ago my best friend Natasha Oakley and I started a blog called A Bikini A Day, which quickly turned into a full force working business. Alongside A Bikini A Day we have our swimwear line, Monday Swimwear and have just recently launched our activewear line, Monday Active! Favorite activities? Long sunny beach days, chilling with close friends and snuggly movie nights."

**What inspired you to choose these two particular Gray Malin pieces?

"Choosing a print was no easy task as each one of Gray’s pieces are as beautiful as the next. I was immediately drawn to the Caribbean triptych as it is not only gorgeous but also really cool. The turquoise blue water contrasts nicely with the simple white decor of my home. The second print I chose for my dining room is an aerial shot of South Beach, Miami which is one of my very favorite beaches in the world. I just love this photo as it encompasses a true depiction of a typical Miami beach day. I love how raw and authentic it is."

What about the Gray Malin lifestyle brand do you connect with? (How does it fit in with your lifestyle?)

"Everything about Gray Malin’s lifestyle I connect with. Our jobs are similar as we both get to travel to exotic beaches around the world and take photos of them! His work helps inspires me to continue traveling and seeing all the beauty the world has to offer."
