Dear Wellness Seekers,

Sea World’s Beauty Inspires Summer’s Spa Chic Style arrives just in time for this big kickoff weekend in Summer thanks to Memorial Day. There is a select group of inspired fashion designers who brought to the runways the beauty of the magnificent Sea World. An informed and fresh take on the underwater world we rarely see.

In the last issue of Elle Magazine, the editors captured the highlights of this vibrant point of view that celebrates natures amazing color palate, textures and organic shapes. This caught my attention as a perfect expression of Spa Chic Style this season. Stella McCartney, Valentino and Stone and Strand are my favorite choices – so sensual, relaxed yet so sophisticated.  Perfect for the summer’s multifaceted Spanista lifestyle.

Elle says the designer drew her inspiration from the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Eastern Australia, which is home to 1625 species of fish and including 1400 coral reef species.  While working with for an extended period along the Gold Coast, I spent time at the Australian Barrier Reef wonderland.  It captivates you and stirs your emotions like nothing you have have ever experienced. An embarrassment of riches for a creative soul to draw from.

Interestingly, Stella spent considerable time in Australia when she did a capsule fashion edition for Target when I was Brand Strategic Advisor staging a Custom Designer Series. Her British centric collection was a huge hit. During that time she came to love the unique Aussie beach lover’s sensibility that centers on life in, by, on the water with the ocean’s rhythms 365 days a year.

My favorite pieces featured in this Elle edition are Stella McCartney’s Story of flowing multi level layers of colorful coral reef patterns in free spirited dresses for day  or night. And the extraordinary natural stone ring by Stone and Strand Story so artistically styled in rose gold vermeil and garnet stone. To die for. It reminds me of an investment piece I purchased while visiting the reef.

On a personal note, the natural shell strands and silver embossed statement piece shown here, was purchased at an stylish boutique while at the Great Barrier Reel – I treasure it for the special memories and feelings it evokes.
