Mango Spring/Summer 2011 Collection

I am so excited about this Mango Collection for this Spring/Summer 2011.

I don't need to look further, all I want is right here... now all that's missing is a pair of sexy heels, my vintage Hermes Kelly, a fresh haircut and a good manicure / pedicure and done ! 

No more frumpy cut-off jeans and some washed-out t-shirt for me this summer. 

This year I will enjoy life more and live better.

And sometimes a little red dress will help you do that!

Time to dress like a lady, not a juvenile delinquent.

 

Watermelon = Summertime

Dandelions = Summertime

Hot town summer in the city

Hot town summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pritty
Cool cat lookin for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm weezin like a bus stop
Running up the stairs gonna meet ya on the roof top

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on lets dance all night
Despite the heat it will be alright
And babe, don't you know it's a pity
The days can't be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city

Summer is here!

This is the perfect image of summer.

'Brooklyn Gang' 1959 by Bruce Davidson

These images are so timeless and powerful, simple and complex at the same time. They capture being a teenager and the hot, sticky summer in New York perfectly.
In the spring of 1959, Davidson spent several months photographing a group of Brooklyn teenagers who called themselves "The Jokers". Davidson was introduced to the gang by a social worker and gradually became a part of their world as he hung out with them in the neighborhood, in Prospect Park and at Coney Island. This was Bruce Davidson's first photographic project, undertaken when he was barely older than the rough boys depicted in the work.
