I just checked the calendar and realized we are midway through summer. how exactly did that happen? One minute I remember dreaming of warm weather with you and now I am stuck in heavy heat and humidity. While numerous new Yorkers plan weekends in the Hamptons, I am thrilled for a trip down to Florida and the Caribbean next week.

When I booked our vacation, Net-A-Porter should have been alerted, because the teal Proenza Schouler PS1 popped up on the site that day. The color is perfectly reminiscent of the Carribean seas, into which I’ll be dipping my toes any day now.

The PS1 is now a household name, with numerous renditions in different colors, materials and sizes. As far as bright shades go, I always have a soft spot for the blue/green family. If I purchased this Proenza Schouler bag, it would be a constant pointer of sunny summer days and unwinding summer vacations. and really, what much more can you ask for in a bag? purchase through NAP for $1,595.
