From our friends at thefind.com:
If you thought floral was a print suited for only spring fashion fare, guess again! The latest trend in sky-high platforms is ready to transition you from summer to fall with feminine florals that are festive and fun but don’t look out of touch, out of style, or out of season! If flower-printed pumps sound like a little “too much” for your taste in any other situation, don’t reject these particular revamped styles just yet! Instead of being too sugary-sweet like many floral or ditsy prints often can be, these flowery fashion statements toe the line between naughty and nice by off-setting their girly exterior with an edgier, bad-girl-style chunky platform. With a bolder silhouette, any fashionista can pull off these pumps, whether you’re a girly girl at heart or a statement-maker with your eye on the highest heels. Pair with your favorite jeans to vamp up your casual look, or add a little summery style to your go-to little black dress!

What do you wear to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza, on a very hot June day? Beats me, but let’s start with a pair of shorts! There’s nothing quite like lightweight linen on a humid summer day, so these Kenneth Cole New York Washed Linen Shorts, (were $79 now $20!!!) courtesy of the brand came to be the perfect garment to stroll around the ancient Mayan ruins, temples, and ball court found at this incredible site in Mexico. Paired with an Alternative Apparel v-neck tee, Le Tarte bikini, and classic Toms shoes, I was as dry and as cool as possible. And don’t worry – I also had on SPF 50!

Close friends Lisa Goldstein and Romy Jagid started the coveted handbag line ROMYGOLD in 2009, and has since gone on to have a cult following with retailers including Bergdorf Goodman, Intermix, Saks Fifth Avenue, Harvey Nichols, Neiman Marcus and shopbop.com. The line stays on the forefront of fashion while offering accessible prices of $275-$700. In an exclusive interview, Lisa and Romy answered our questions on everything from the celeb they’d love to see rocking their bags to their favorite style and blogs.
FPD: What were you doing before ROMYGOLD, and how do you divvy up and/or collaborate on the operations and design aspects of the company?
LG & RJ: Before ROMYGOLD we were just raising our families.
FPD: Since you two were good friends before starting ROMYGOLD, what do you advise as most important to balance your personal and professional relationship with good friend?
LG & RJ: We each seem to have different but complimenting business interests which naturally result in our division of responsibilities, however we always collaborate on everything.
FPD: What was the single most important thing you learned about designing handbags?
LG & RJ: Keep with the fashion trends, come up with a design that distinguishes our product from the competition (ie biker slash). We continue to use variations of what we are known for in different designs.
FPD: Tell me more about the “slash and Slit” designs; how is this done while maintaining a sturdy exterior, that wont catch or rip?
