    Everyone agrees that cake is pretty damn tasty… but there’s nothing like icing. For us, The Rapture was the icing on our proverbial cake this past weekend. For most people, who’ve seen the band play in sweaty clubs or huge arenas, seeing them go off on our amazing pool deck whilst jumping into a crystal clear pool was an experience that will pretty much define the summer of 2010.

    But like all highs there’s a come down, so we didn’t let our friends go home empty handed. After stuffing themselves with tacos and Kanon cocktails our guests went home with gift bags courtesy of Burt’s Bees… perfect for treating those newly minted suntans. We don’t ever wanna come down.

    Okay, remember when we said the last post was our last 4th of July mention 'til next year? Well. We lied. We found these pictures taken by Swedish blogger Sara Bourke over the weekend, and they were so rad we couldn't NOT put them up. But THIS is the real, official, really official last 4th of July post, we promise. At least until next year. In the meantime, check it out--a lot of our favorites make an appearance: Faran from Nylon, Becka Diamond, Richie Rich, those killer Acne shoes, and last but not least, our own Harry Beee.

    The setting for our 4th of July party hosted by The Smile was unreal. Woods and trees, a beautiful pool, perfect weather, and lots of beautiful people in varying degrees of undress. All made for a perfect day with some perfect cocktails. Too many, quite possibly. Good thing we took photos, lots of them, and we like to share.

    These pictures come from one Zac Sebastian, FOK, NYC photographer, and general man-about-town.

    We asked FOK photographer Yana Toyber to give us a slightly different perspective on our by-now-infamous 4th of July party at our summer house in Southampton this weekend. She took our request seriously. Instead of snapping the requisite lawn/bikini/band/chugging-Kanon/eating-hot-dogs pics, she went straight into the pool to capture the much more peaceful underwater scene that was going on below-ground.
