Yachty by Nature

“It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.”
George William Curtis, 1824 – 1892

The World Cup is old news. The summer Olympics are rife with controversy. What’s a fashionable spectator to do? Follow the America’s Cup, the oldest sporting trophy. Landlocked Switzerland won the cup last year and now the race is on to see who will compete against the Alinghi. That will be determined by a series of preliminary races known as the Louis Vuitton Cup. And with the Luna Rossa (owned by Muccia Prada) as one of the 11 challengers, you know it’s bound to be the best dressed sport around.

Sandal Season

Mint Main - 2 years ago - Kathryn Lovell

“A buckle is a great addition to an old shoe.”
Irish Proverb

My former hair stylist (I moved) believed California had two seasons- sweaters and sandals, with May being the harbinger of sandal season. With the fantastic colorful, embellished options out this spring, I’m happy to rename it. These sandals all add a laid back elegance to any outfit. Remember to moisturize and apply sunblock to your feet during the day since they will be exposed to the sun.
