Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me… Seven Swans-a-Swimming, Six Geese-a-laying, Five Golden Rings, Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves and A Partridge in a Pear Tree.

We may not be able to promise you seven swans, but you can surround yourself with the wonders of the Indian Ocean at this One&Only Reethi Rah resort, we’ve chosen on day 7 of our 12 days of Christmas.

Located on one of the largest islands in North Malé Atoll, it’s a jewel among a string of coral, with ring-shaped reefs, lagoons, and white sands, southwest of Sri Lanka. Once known as ‘King’s Island,’ the breathtaking Maldives is an out of this world land of blue lagoons and soft white sands, the ocean boasts deep teal and indigo colors. The name means ‘Garland of Islands’ in is local language of Dhivehi.

Step back in time to a land where traders and travelers have been coming for centuries. An island which has not changed since the ancient mariners visited this glorious island. A country where only one-sixth of the country’s 1,190 islands are inhabited.

To this day the Maldives remain a necklace of luxurious sand, a chain of islands surrounding the magnificent waters of the Indian Ocean. Give yourself or loved ones a once in a lifetime stay.

Maldivian culture is made up of a unique blend of the different influences from African drumming to Oriental. Unparalleled privacy. Transcendent luxury. A superb all-villa resort in the Maldives.

Indulge with a Thai massage over the sea, or breathe in richly fragrant spices of a warm oil treatment, all under the expert care of therapists trained in philosophies both ancient and modern.

 

Make this vacation with at Reethi Rah savory in and the for the soul. Learn more about One&Only Resorts by clicking here.

Simon&Kully Summer Clothing Perfect For Moms

[slideshow_deploy id=’48989′]

A fashionable summer clothing line named Simon&Kully is new to the mother scene. This line is simple, sleek, and fit for sunny days; perfect for the summer and resort seasons. Simon&Kully sports a multipurpose and versatile line, featuring dresses and tunics that can easily transition from a day to night look, with an array of patterns  to choose from when thinking about purchasing something comfortable and stylish.

Andie Kully, an interior designer residing in the West Village, and Fashion designer Suzanne Simon, partnered together to create this fab beach-inspired collection. Simon and Kully met at their children’s nursery school and soon became friends through their shared love for design, fashion, and warm weather; which led to the establishment of their chic clothing line for moms.

The Simon&Kully style is flattering, timeless and fresh. All of their dresses feature pockets for the convenience of holding small objects, and the pieces are primarily made of either cotton or silk.

When catching up with Kully about the inspiration for her summer clothing line she said “fabulous warm weather places,” and “anywhere that has a beach,” such as Mystique Island, Turks and Caicos, and the Hamptons. She said her vision was to create something fresh, light, and comfortable to wear in warm weather, while also maintaining refreshing style.

The pieces are  great to wear when going to pick up your kids from school and heading to the park, and perhaps meeting a friend for dinner afterwards.

Simon&Kully is sold at their online store, and at Carleen Ligozio in South Hampton.
