Summer in Mexico

Cinco de Mayo has come and gone, but Mexican embroidery and lace are here to stay.

Aussie designer/swimwear maven, Nicky Zimmermann astonishingly delivered 1970's Mexico Riviera resort wear with pin-up swimsuits, smocked dresses, and buttonless sheaths in crisp linens, soft florals, and stark whites during Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) last week.

"I had this idea of idyllic summers and the feeling of long warm days," says Zimmermann of her latest collection.

Fresh and breathable, each piece indefinitely captured what it was supposed to; the true heyday of Acapulco's stylish white-sand beaches! Buy Zimmerman here.

Spring/Summer Fashion Inspiration: Katherine Heigl (at age 15)

As a long week ended last Friday, my girlfriends and I reenacted a favorite activity from our childhood, the sleepover. Dressed in pajamas and up to our elbows in cookie dough, us late twenty-somethings transgressed for a night and picked a flick that would really get us in the mood. My Father the Hero was the unanimous choice, "the" chick flick of '94.

Oohing and awing over Katherine Heigl's angelic teenage face and slender bod, we began to remember just how incredible her wardrobe was. Funny thing is most of her outfits are back in style. Floral skirts and shorts paired with cotton t's and tanks are in hot pursuit, so with that said, I think it's time for another outfit post. P.S. that Ben guy is hot, hot, hot...even if he does have an earring.
