Located in Lima Peru, this modern and chic take on beachfront living is the perfect fit for those seeking a vacation home with a contemporary aesthetic.

Immersed in the sandy dunes along the Pacific shoreline, this locale provides the laid-back vibe you would expect from a beach house–yet the clean lines and minimalist design allow this home to maintain a sleek sense of style. The square footage maximizes the use of indoor/outdoor living space with an expansive terrace and spa area that is perfect for soaking up the rays and enjoying an afternoon cocktail. Meanwhile, the aqua-blue lapping waters of the ocean are only steps away… How’s that for convenience?

This beautiful coastal construction was designed and built by Vertice Arquitectos, a local Peruvian firm that specializes in unique and luxurious homes.

The Bosco Verticale, currently under construction in the Italian city of Milan, will become the world’s first vertical forest when completed. The project will aid in improving air quality within the city and will also serve as a model for other urban areas looking to provide a solution to reforestation. The two structures will double as residential apartments and are slated to open in late 2013.

The highly-anticipated film version of the “The Great Gatsby” is premiering this weekend and we can’t wait to see this American classic come to life on the big screen.

Set in the jubilant era of 1920’s New York, the film perfectly captures the extravagance and gaiety that defined the time period.

See how the set and cast have transformed since the first release of the movie in 1974, starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. We think that Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan may give them a run for their money…

The movie’s fashions are already being raved about and have inspired multiple collaborations with the film’s costume designer Catherine Martin. Brooks Brother’s released the limited-edition “Gatsby Collection” which exudes the high-class sense of style that is portrayed in the film. Brooks Brothers’ produced almost all of the male clothing worn in the movie including the black bow tie worn by Leonardo DiCaprio on the film’s poster.

Memorial Day Weekend is just around the corner and we are SO excited to finally kick off summer and head to the beach!!
