A Helping Hand

Some-days all one need is a little aid. Maybe a kind word and a gentle push forward. Someone to lean on, if only for a brief moment. Then it's alright again, to stand up and walk tall.

Ralph & Ricky Lauren's Manhattan home

Ralph Lauren's Manhattan apartment is just what you'd expect from his eponymous brand's reputation for understated elegance. An all white space characterized by smooth, clean lines and little hints of unadulterated luxury - high gloss lacquered surfaces, a plush fur throw, embossed crocodile lamp bases, the zebra print mirror - all little hints of one of his biggest signature looks - safari chic.

Eat for a good cause

A stunning place in Italy is the Il San Pietro de Positano Hotel on the Amalfi cost. This summer their fabled beach restaurant Carlino plays a role in a philanthropic venture and all proceeds go towards the purchase of two incubators for the Neonatal Intensive Unit at Napel's Santobono Hospital. Eight chiefs from Michelin-starred restaurants in the Campania region are taking turns in creating a series of fabulous dinners on ten different occasions. The Carlino, usually only available to the privileged guests of the hotel, opens up to anyone under these events. Hurry up, there's still three occasions in August and one in September. €150.00 per three-course dinner, including drinks.

Rapunzel Bracelet

I don't know about you but I could definitely see this fringed cuff in my summer closet! It's from Italian designer Delfina Delettrez totally drool-over-line of gorgeous jewellery. She's is one of the Fendi clan and apparently as talented as the rest of the family.
