Good evening, Monday. Just did a quick tour of Miami (24 hours) for a wedding of some old friends of mine...lovely time with them and many others I haven't seen in ages. I'm back in NYC and feeling energized by the Miami sun- came back to some serious gloom here in town, but I'm cool with it because I love the lethargy I've license to embrace on days such as these.
In other news, I was reading one of my fashion mags on the plane and came across a wonderful new line called the Promise Collection Tommy Hilfiger did to benefit and promote sustainable communities in Africa- he's donating 100% of the proceeds to boot.
I for one am not a rabid Tommy fan- his brightly hued preppiness has never been my cup of darjeeling but man- these are some cute pieces for sure. As a big fan of ethnic inspired pieces, especially in the warmer months, the gear shown above would suit up your summer with style, and with great intentions to boot. I have no idea why these pieces are not available stateside PS- if they are I can't access them but found these looks on Tommy's UK site (the press release says they're avail in the states but maybe they sold out). I especially am keen on that maxi dress, which would be chic with a big straw hat and a tan and some wedges or cute flat sandals.
I love this departure for Tommy- some cute men's swim trunks available as well- well done, Mr. Hilfiger. Now that you've finally found me something to wear, don't fail me when it comes to making good on the socially minded side of things, cause that's what's up this giving Monday in the 718. All the love. XO Link below to read about the effort and the clothes, and yes, that's Katie Holmes:
