Sweet Suits

It's almost bathing suit season (although the 80+ degree weather this weekend here in NYC already called for some rooftop/Central Park tanning!), and I am certainly going to be picking up one of these handmade suits from the Australian designer line, We Are Handsome, to add to my personal swimwear collection. They're siiiiick. Especially loooove the retro prints!

Winter Kate Fall 2010 Collection

first look at Winter Kate via nylon magazine

Nicole Richie has amazinggggg style and has alwaysss been one of my very favorite style icons. Finally she decided to just design her own clothing line. Named Winter Kate, it premiers this spring. She just released her Fall 2010 Look Book and I'm digging the whole collection. She cites 70s rock stars as her inspirations. Totally retro, yet totally modern. Pretty much sums up both the collection and Nicole's style! Of course I'm more than in looooveeeeee. Come fall, you will most definitely see the jacket in the last picture in my closet.
