Summer Love

We love Summer in New York. The smell of the barbecues, the ice cream trucks, hot boys in cute t-shirts, sexy girls in summer dresses, flirting in parks, block parties, and of course my famous sangria. Tonight we are kicking of the summer with a little visit to Luna Park (Coney Island) and then stroll to Brooklyn Bowl to see our friends Midnight Magic bring the funk and roll. (Tiffany the singer brings the sexy to the mic)


Rica's summer kicks off now!!


Yummy


Nothing like a block party!
Dance! 
Sweat it out!



Kids cooling off!


Summer kissin and lovin. 


and of course your Rica suit. ;)

Obsession of the day: Helmut Newton

I've always adored Helmut Newton's photos and brilliant eye.  I just recently realized how influential he has been in my creative process and how his sexual images inspired Rica. Here are a few of Helmut Newton's photos we here at Rica find simply wonderful. Take a second to enjoy the beauty.
