Norma Norma Norma

Norma Kamali...

Her work...

Norma Kamali has been designing since 1974 and is the authority on functional, bold clothing that reflect fun, health and strength. Celebrities and stylists love her for obvious reasons - everything makes a statement and pushes the boundaries while still reflecting a feminine and fun spirit that could be relevant at any point in time. Plus her personal style is consistently inspiring. I love you Norma, keep the good work coming!

Check out her latest collection here (don't miss the ultra flattering bathing suits)

Since summer is well on its way, I thought it time for a followup to the "Under There" post. Loup is perfect for traveling and especially throwing over a swimsuit. These Laura Urbinati swim suits are retro without being over the top and are the perfect compliment to a summer Loup ensemble.

Philip Johnson's Glass house is insanely inspiring. Set on 47 acres of land in New Canaan Connecticut, the property has 6 separate main structures and endless amount of beauty. Johnson built the Glass House for himself, and added elements like 2 galleries and a library to create a more entertaining, functional environment and a great place to gather his friends like Andy Warhol. My friends Maggie and Shana and I visited the grounds for an architecture tour and needless to say, we were very impressed.
