Though some days are still a little chilly, summer has finally arrived bringing with it summer fashion of classic brights, neons, and of course bikinis. Summer or not, I’m always down for a fabulous NYC rooftop party. So when I took in summer style at Bikini Alchemy‘s exclusive summer launch in collaboration with Bash & Bow, I not only saw amazing beachwear, but a relaxed and resort-like side of NYC that can only be experienced at the Hudson Hotel‘s Sky Terrace Rooftop Lounge. Can’t wait to hit the beach in style!
Once you achieve a life of fame and fortune, some days you are just going to want the paparazzi to leave you alone. However, you NEVER want them to forget about you completely. So, when you need a little extra attention from friends, family, and the press, consider wearing something from Desigual which in Spanish translates to “not the same.” In case you can’t tell from the Spanish word and bright colors, Desigual hails from the same land as the House of Balenciaga and famed shoe designer, Manuel “Manolo” Blahnik Rodriguez. Though it is difficult to translate the term completely, “Aspiring Socialite” in Spanish is “Aspirante a Mujer de Sociedad.”
If you are wondering where my Spanish skills come from, I credit my Venezuelan mother who recently fell in love with Desigual while in Spain and brought me back a shirt that I love. As the nation with the most Miss Universe winners, fashion and beauty are a constant part of the Venezuelan lifestyle. Two Desigual stores recently opened in the Big Apple within blocks of one another. One is located in Herald Square and the other on 34th St. and 5th Ave. But, if you are planning a vacation to Spain, pretend you didn’t hear that and visit the many locations in Spain.
