COMO Shambhala, a private estate located amidst the serenity of Bali’s stunning landscape near Ubud, is a sustainable and holistic retreat that takes rest and relaxation to a whole new meaning. Each of the five luxurious residenses are dramatically inset into the Balinese jungle, in jade green clearings and above the River Ayung. Honestly, I have a feeling a stay at Como is an absolute must for my wellbeing. How about you?
How adorable are these girls stomping the divots at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New York last weekend? And how about those turbuns! A cross between a turban and a bun?! I just might have to give it a try!

For several months now, we’ve been receiving emails requesting a friendship bracelet DIY. Well, friends, ask and you shall receive! Today, we’ll give you a step by step tutorial on the classic chevron pattern. If you used to whip up friendship bracelets like a champ in grade school and have since forgotten how, consider this a refresher course.

You’ll need:
- embroidery thread
- a safety pin or tape
- a pair of scissors
Kolmanskop, a town in the Namib desert in southern Namibia, was once a rich diamond mining village. Within a 40 year span the town lived, flourished and then died. Richer diamond deposits were discovered further south, operations were moved, nature took its course and the desert sands reclaimed their space. Thank you, Álvaro Sánchez-Montañés, for capturing these hauntingly beautiful images!
Inspired by Tippi Hedren and Eva Marie Saint, starlets known for their roles in iconic Alfred Hitchcock films, Erdem Moralioglu dubbed his Resort 2012 collection Slightly Hitchcockian. I’m crushing on the watercolor floral prints, delicate lace, high contrast colors, and ladylike silhouettes . . . Classically Erdemian.
