Wet

This week's mood board is a bit surf style inspired and all about liquid

Picnic

One of my favorite things to do during the summer in Manhattan. A perfect bottle of rose, Samburu blankets, and the new Bon Iver album. Bliss

Sunsets

Eric Cahan's sunset photography is absolutely breathtaking

the Beach

Growing up in Southern California, many of my fondest memories derive from sunsoaked days and moonlit nights at the beach. Here are my favorite beach shots that continue to inspire me. I'd love an Adreas Gursky hanging in my living room, large scale colorful photographs always add enchantment to a room.

Sparkle Motion

Just because the fireworks are over, doesn't mean the summer sparkle has to end.

the 4th

Off to East Hampton for a hopefully sunny 4th of July weekend. Wasn't hard to find outfits since most of my summer wardrobe is red, white, and blue anyway. Happy 4th! 

Erin Wasson for Elle France

This spread in Elle France June '11 is the epitome of American grunge and rock and roll chic. Also, it puts you in the 4th of July spirit :)

Flower Power

I'm not usually big on prints but for summer a bold floral print looks so fresh and ethereal

Pools

Recently being given a signed copy of the book "Pools" by Kelly Klein, I have become mesmerized by unique pool structures, tiles, and shapes. Pools in unusual locations overlooking an ocean as to appear almost touching the natural body of water is so overwhelmingly beautiful. Maybe I'm getting island fever, and by island I mean Manhattan, but I am craving a serene getaway.

Fashion Illustrators

Some of my favorites: Danny Roberts, Garance Dore, Yuki, Sandra Suy, Lana Chun, and Sabine Pieper
