New collection for Swedroe Art to Wear by Ariel
Remember those kaleidoscopes we played with a kids? Wouldn’t you like to wear some of those wonderful prisms and swirls and colors? Now you can: teen fashion designer Ariel Weinberg combines the visionary collage art of her grandfather Robert Swedroe with luxurious fabrics and sophisticated designs to create her stunning collections. The new season is no exception with graphic prints on charmeuse, silk, and neoprene. No two pieces are exactly alike and all are guaranteed to be conversation piece.

The perfect one-piece swimsuit:
Show off your fitness in this sporty one-piece by Blue Life X UO with mesh panel inserts, color-blocking and a racerback. It is perfect for sports both on the beach and in the water, and won’t bulge or budge. This one-piece has great 360° appeal showing off shoulders, giving a little peak-a-boo effect with the mesh side panels, and defining the waist with an hourglass shape with color-blocking in the front. Score!

Summer’s best beach style
I love summer vacation days, feeling the air and the sunshine on my skin and my toes in the sand. I photographed model Eve at a quiet cove by the beach wearing a copper-colored bikini by Alè by Alèssandra Ambrosio (who better to design the sexiest bikinis than a Victoria Secret Angel?) Eve’s white cotton cover-up with lace is by LA Hearts . So pretty.

Fashion’s top summer must-reads:
If you are like me, you have found most of your spare time occupied with Pinterest or your Instagram feed, neglecting the wonderful thrill of opening an actual book – yes – an actual book – and reading it. This past month I have taken advantage of the early morning light, getting up at six am to read on my balcony with a cup of tea. I end up starting my work day relaxed and focused rather than distracted. Win!
On my list of summer must-reads are three biographies and one novel centered around the world of fashion, filled with glamour, personalities, and backstories, not to mention politics. I can’t put them down!
Grace: A Memoir, by the legendary Creative Director of Vogue Magazine, Grace Coddington. Talk about a fashion industry history lesson from a front row seat!
My Paris Dream: An Education in Style, Slang, and Seduction in the Great City on the Seine, by former Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar Editor and stylist, Kate Betts. Paris, fashion, NYC, true-life tales. Who could ask for more in a summer read?
The Knockoff: A Novel, by Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza, is the story of a fictional editor of a fashion magazine frantically tackling the game-changing world of social media and business technology while trying to protect her job and position from younger, more tech-savvy recent graduates population the office.
Leave Your Mark: Land Your dream Job. Kill It In Your Career. Rock Social Media, by Aliza Licht, Global Fashion Communications Executive and twitter star of DKNY PR Girl (@DKNY). Aliza is the mentor you have always needed, not just for PR career advice but for maximizing your potential in the world of social media to grow your own personal brand – you!
Do you have any other summer-reading suggestions along these lines? Please share!

Pineapple crush by MSGM and Ek Thongprasert
Looking for a day dress for the upcoming holidays, brunch, or just for springtime in general? This witty number from MSGM has just the right amount of fun mixed with a classic silhouette. Top it off with one statement-making accessory like this Buttercup necklace by Ek Thongprasert for a jolt of color and a splash of style. Decidedly not your grandmother’s Sunday dress.

Spring Break at the beach
Spring break is all about boho style and sun-kissed beauty. There is nothing like wind and salty air for perfect beach hair, sandy beaches for exfoliating your feet, and lots of natural vitamin D to bring you back to your senses after a long winter. Happy first day of Spring!
Boho bikinis and cover-ups available at Forever 21, www.forever21.com

Label Love: Marques Almeida
I love the laid-back ease and comfort of denim but there are times when you just want to take it up a notch and find a new approach to a perennial favorite. I particularly love the raw-edged pieces from Marques Almeida, with its asymmetrical lines and sophisticated cuts. Unique and fresh, this is one denim skirt you won’t see on every other person. Love.
Marques Almeida open-back top and skirt available at En Avance Miami
