When Erica first sent this to me I thought it was a joke. But funny guy Will Ferrell’s line of SPF 30 lotions is the real thing!  Forbidden Fruit, Sun Stroke, and Sexy Hot Tan feature some pretty hilarious glamour shots of the comedian and not only will they provide you with proper sun protection, 100% of the proceeds will benefit Cancer for College.  Sunscreen that comes with a laugh and a good deed??  Done.

I am loving this Peruvian inspired editorial in June’s Vogue Brazil—filled with calming patterns and shades of khaki and gray.  It also sent me on a hunt for Peruvian goods where I came across this amazing wool backpack woven by a Peruvian artisan, Faustino Maldonado.  Be sure to check out his gorgeous, handcrafted ponchos and blankets too!

I’m feeling the need for the brightest oversized watch to wear this summer…the only issue is settling on a color!

Happy Birthday Michelle. Your art work & talent has been an inspiration to me for over 20 years (man, we are getting old)! Te quiero mucho.

I’ve been enamored with the designs of Tina Kalivas, an Australian designer, for awhile now.  Her Totem Fall 2010 collection is just as stunning as her past.  And her injections of vivid color & patterns and use of inspirations from native cultures makes me excited to see more from her for years to come.
