Pucci's head-turners - SS11

The bohemian aesthetic Peter Dundas brings to the Pucci brand is one that makes me swoon time and again. It's spirited, sexy, with an emphasis on movement and form; and it maintains that jetset appeal that makes your feet burn with wanderlust and your skin long for the cool water of some beachside paradise. For Spring 2011 the lace-up front dresses and shirts and the cutaway crochets reference '70s glamour while there's an overall exoticism to the accessories and rows of tiny tassels that line some of Dundas' dresses.

Milan Fashion Week - Abbey Lee becomes a trend setter

So far she's the biggest proponent of the trend, but don't let supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw snap up all the sheer maxi dresses before 2011 kicks off. Get out there and indulge in the trend while it's still at the micro-trend stage.

Oculus: 250ft Megayacht by Schöpfer Yachts

Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots.

The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure. In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated.

The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas. The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite. Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities.

In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner’s stair connects to the third level aft private salon and deck / water feature. The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain’s quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use. Specifications and plans are in the final stages of completion and will be posted at a later time.
