THE JOYS OF SUMMER
W
ith June comes the Summer Solstice which is the longest day of the year marking the official beginning of summer. Personally it is my favorite season of the year, when the nights are warm and the fashion embodies the definition of effortless chic. In keeping with the summer theme, we focused on natural fruit based beauty amd their powerful properties that are as beneficial to your health on the outside as they are on the inside. Naturally summer vacation is on our minds as we highlight some amazing beach escapes such as Barbados, Daytona, Cancun, Antigua and Anguilla. Another joy of summer is the beautiful sun kissed glow that doesn’t require much effort, and we featured ways to get that natural beach beauty even when you are stuck in the city. With politicos at the center of the media these days, we also have a spotlight on Washington D.C. as a hot weekend destination to hit this summer before the political landscape changes. As spring transitions into the dog days of summer, it’s been a long tradition for New Yorkers to flock to the countryside on weekends for a posh respite. This was the inspiration for our fashion spread shot in the exclusive enclave of Bedford Corners. What better way to get there than with a Bentley Mulsanne Speed that combines extraordinary luxury with the power of a racing car. One of the highlights this month was meeting the sharp witted funny ladies of Bravo- Jill Kargman and Abby Elliott of Odd Mom Out, which will premiere its 2nd season this month. With the plethora of reality TV shows of entitled rich people around the country, Jill was a breath of fresh air as her innate New York sarcasm satirized this certain type of person in a humorous and ‘spot on’ way. Another centerpiece feature this month is on the talented Dr. Greuner from New York Surgical Associates who is making strides in changing the medical industry with his technological breakthroughs of non invasive surgical approaches. His striking fashion spread was inspired by the dramatic imagery of Nip & Tuck. Whether you are in the city or traveling the world, take the time to enjoy all of the joys of summer this season, because before you know it, fall will arrive.
