Fringed tunics, sheer maxis, floral bells, and denim shirts . . . Planet Blue‘s latest offerings have us drawing up our summer wish lists and amped for warmer weather.
14th & Paradise
Even the smallest bit of outdoor space can be one of the most covetable features of any Manhattan apartment. So how about over 1,600 square feet of lush, private outdoor space!? Well, that’s just preposterous . . . and the bee’s knees. This penthouse loft in Chelsea features one of the most spectacular rooftop terraces I’ve ever seen. And for a mere $4.5 million dollars, it could be ours.
Karen’s Aliens
Not only does Karen Walker make some of the best sunglasses, she’s clearly the most innovative when it comes to her lookbooks. Last season, sunnies were styled on brooms and mops and this season, it’s aliens. LOVE!
Money Pieces
How cool are these sculptures constructed from international bills? Canadian artist Kristi Malakoff skillfully folds, cuts, and pastes paper money from all over the world to create three-dimensional polygons. I’m envious of her talent and would just kill to have an oversized version for my bookshelf!
