Just in time for summer and the warmer weather comes the clean, light lines of the Huron outdoor sofa from West Elm. Made from all-weather cord which is been hand woven around a lightweight, rust-resistant aluminium frame.
Bermuda is playing host to a number of high-profile personal style bloggers this week in an impressive demonstration of the power of social media and the Internet.
The bloggers are being hosted by the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club (we initially wondered why so many photos were being taken on the grounds of the hotel!) and we had the pleasure of running into Danielle Bernstein of We Wore What yesterday afternoon while on the property to photograph Marcus' restaurant and cover a book signing as chef Marcus Samuelsson is also currently on the island (more on that later). Some of the other bloggers being hosted by hotel include Emily Gemma of The Sweetest Thing, Rachel Martino of Rach Martino, Jacey Duprie of Damsel in Dior and Luanna Perez-Garreaud of Le Happy.

The pictures are gorgeous and you can follow their adventures on Instagram. All photos are tagged @princessbermuda and have the hashtag #paradiseawaits.
A natural extension of the wetsuits and other swimwear that have been extremely popular, is this modern collection of fitness wear from Cynthia Rowley for Fall 2015. Called Rowley Fitness, the full collection includes everything you would need for the gym: leggings, tanks, sports bras, shorts, t-shirts and jackets. The clothing is fully functional with sweat-wicking fabrics and wider waistbands but the pieces have been reimagined in Rowley's colourful aesthetic and point of view.
For someone who's constantly plugged in we are surprised by just how much we like this idea.
There is something simple and uncomplicated about this credit card-sized phone which is designed to remove all the distractions now commonly found on smartphones in the form of apps and other "technological improvements". Artist and designer Joe Hollier has joined with mobile phone industry veteran Kaiwei Tang to create this prototype called the Light Phone. In a retrograde step, the phone can only make and receive calls and tell time. It is designed to be used in addition to your regular smart phone as a more streamlined, simple, timeless tool or used to supplement your regular cell phone in an emergency should, for example, the battery die on your phone . The Light Phone also makes an ideal first phone for a child.
The Light Phone has a battery life of 20 days and comes preloaded with 500 minutes of talk time.

We love the statement necklaces from South African-based Pichulik who take inspiration from such diverse elements such as the Islamic architecture of North Africa and the photography of Helmut Newton. The bespoke range of necklaces are handcrafted in Cape Town using locally manufactured materials such as PPM braid, cotton, waxed cord and brass.
The Marcel is a smart-looking sideboard made of wood and tubular metal designed by Fabrizio Simonetti for Formabilio. Inspired Marcel Breuer, one of the leading proponents of the Modern Movement developed during the interwar period, the Marcel has simple, linear lines with no extraneous details. The doors on the piece are made by alternating slats of vertical and horizontal wood, recalling car grilles or antique radios from the early 1900s.
We love this sleek, minimalist leather Half Moon clutch from Japanese designers Matter Matters, a luxury and lifestyle brand that was founded in London but is presently based in Hong Kong. Their designs have a bold, graphic quality and are inspired by such varied influences as Postmodernism, the Art Deco movement, Memphis, mod couture and contemporary Bauhaus-inspired design, and artists such as David Hockney, Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol and Max Huber.
The Half Moon clutch comes in primary colours with contrasting strap. It has resin hardware, a zip fastening and a canvas lining.
Most refrigerators come with built-in ice cube makers these days, but if you have a retro model or you just need extra ice for your drinks this summer, the Rabbit Flexible Ice Cube Tray should be at the top of your list.
The Rabbit makes six oversized cubes which are designed to keep your drink colder for longer. The silicone tray is BPA free and the vertical fill makes ice making easier than ever. As the tray is sealed, there is no leakage and it can be stored horizontally (or vertically once the cubes have set) with other items in your freezer. The cubes also stay fresher longer and the sealed unit ensures that they will not absorb odours.
