Australia’s Blue Mountains, a World Heritage Site, is best known for it’s incredible sandstone plateau, deep gorges, and rolling foothills. The mountains are densely populated by Eucalyptus trees, which fill the atmosphere with finely dispersed droplets of oil that catch the sunlight and create a magical, blue glow. The Wolgan Valley Resort is nestled in the rugged heart of this all. The eco-friendly, carbon neutral, 400 acre resort blends seamlessly into its natural surrounding, making it a perfect place to revitalize the senses. So . . . shall we book a trip, mate?
Last week in Milan, Raf Simons took his final bow as the creative director of Jil Sander by delivering a collection that was, well, fresh as a sweet Sunday morning. Honestly, I think I fell in love with pink all over again, as if it were the very first time. The palette was classic, sugary, and graceful and silhouettes were strong, structured, and modern. I’m absolutely mad for the double-face coats, nude jumpsuit, and navy dress with a keyhole bodice. Bravo, Raf!
. . . photographer Erwan Frontin‘s wildflowers, all of which he discovered while traveling throughout southern France. Don’t you feel as though you can just reach out and touch them?
Pale turquoise set in bezels and pavé diamonds in 14kt gold, mismatched earrings and double sided rings . . . these are just a few of my favorite things! I’m absolutely smitten with Caitlin Mociun‘s collection of precious earrings and delicate rings. Be sure to check out her website as well as Caitlin’s eye catching, custom prints – some of which were part of a recent collaboration with Baggu. Honestly, multi-talented.
From 1960 to 1963, over fifty million skateboards were sold in the US. Skateboarding was clearly becoming a growing sport and eventually in May of 1965, this fun-loving street activity landed on the cover of Life Magazine. These images, snapped by staff photographer Bill Eppridge in New York City, are as stylish and timeless as they were over 50 years ago. Wouldn’t you love to see more New Yorkers on skateboards these days?
