I met Ashley Longshore on Instagram (as one does), and was delighted when she accepted a DM from me months ago, which resulted in a digital friendship. I've been fan girling her quirky spirit and what her friend Blake Lively (casual ha!) calls her "elegant yet rebellious" art for months. Her take on the zeitgeist, whether in the form of making over pop culture icons on canvas or collaborating with iconic brands in new and inspiring ways, is VERY much in line with the concept of "Lingua Franca." Fast Company named her one of their "Most Creative People" and I'm here to tell you that she's also the most fun. If you live in NYC, you can go check out her work at Bergdorfs - she's the first female artist to be profiled at the iconic store and she even took over their cafe, redoing it into the "most instagrammable cafe in NYC"! Otherwise, click on the photos above for some inspiration from Ashley!

The chic patrons of the historic Waverly Inn, owned by my husband Sean are the inspiration behind our effortless Spring suiting pieces.
