Inspiration for Mara Hoffman‘s latest resort collection stems from a recent trip to Guatemala. The colors, textiles, and culture of Guatemala come to life in El Circo Mágico, a collection of wildly psychedelic and rainbow colored swimwear. And itseems she found similar magic right in her own state of New York at this 16-acre art home in the backwoods of Cottekil – the perfect backdrop to her rainbow.

Yes I love me a good cafe – a relatively cheap habit that forces me out of the office and into the fresh air – whether it be to people gaze (Hi that’s all I do when in Paris) or read a good mag or two. I’ve been making real effort to dress in solids lately – this week here is me in all black. I often default to all-black. Traveling = all black. Meetings = all black. Date night = all black. But I’ve sorta come to a color awakening, where I try to deviate from my old ways. More pictures after the jump + some final footwear thoughts!

Septum rings have come a long way since their punk-inspired days in the 80s and 90s. Today’s versions are far more delicate and feminine. And although some designs more intricate, some inspired by their tribal origins, they can be rather subtle in size. And if you’re still on the fence, these non-pierced cuffs are committal free. So tell us, would you rock a septum cuff?
