The summer heatwave is on and it kicked off recently with a massive power failure that darkened the West Side of Manhattan for more than a few hours. But in true NY fashion we made the best of it, despite the lack of A/C. It got me to thinking about all the hot sticky movies I have fallen in love with over the years and the wardrobes … Read More

I’ve been a fan of Marysia Swimwear for several years, and with beach/pool season in full-swing, it is the perfect time to finally feature the brand in our Gallery.
The current Summer 2019 collection has a dominant red, white & blue color scheme that happens to be right on theme with this week’s July 4th celebration. When you take those colors, and mix in gingham print … Read More
