In the heart of every story lies the potential for transformation, and Kathy Grosz-Zaltas, the visionary behind Zaltas Fine Jewelry, embodies this truth with her extraordinary journey of turning pain into hope. Through the creation of the Hope Sunflowers collection, Kathy’s dedication to honoring her family’s legacy and spreading awareness about human rights illuminates a path of optimism and resilience.
The seeds of inspiration for the Hope Sunflowers collection were planted in Kathy’s soul as she delved into her parents’ Holocaust stories. Supported by the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center (HHREC), Kathy embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, family archives, and healing. Throughout her journey, she found the courage to confront the shadows of the past and craft her family’s stories into beacons of light and hope.
While the journey was not without its challenges, Kathy emerged with a newfound sense of dignity, honor, and pride in her heritage. Rather than allowing the pain of the past to consume her, she chose to embrace it as a catalyst for positive change. Through the Hope Sunflowers collection, Kathy invites others to join her in celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope.
At the heart of the collection lies the sunflower, a symbol of optimism and renewal. Like the sunflower, which unfurls its petals towards the sun, Kathy sees her family’s stories as seeds of hope, capable of spreading joy and healing throughout the world. Just as the sunflower’s vibrant blooms brighten even the darkest of days, Kathy’s vision for the collection is to inspire positivity and upliftment in all who encounter it. Similar to that of the sunflower’s dark center seeds emerge numerous and nourishing to create new beautiful buds.
With each piece of jewelry in the Hope Sunflowers collection, Kathy invites us to embrace the beauty of resilience and the transformative power of hope. Through her advocacy work and storytelling, she leaves behind a legacy of compassion, understanding, and unity that transcends generations. To view the entire collection visit Zaltas website HERE!
Join us for a special day at Zaltas next week with complimentary bespoke jewelry showing, mocktails, lite bits and a very special raffle where someone will take home a very special piece of Zaltas Fine Jewelry!
I’ve been hearing a lot about the Sofwave treatment lately and was lucky enough to attend an exclusive media and influencer event at the Carlyle Hotel recently to trial this amazing treatment. I was excited to experience what all the buzz is about and learned about how Sofwave lifts the skin to help address that sagging jawline and chin area. Plus it can deliver a mini-brow lift and was recently FDA-cleared to treat under the upper arms to lift lax skin.
Imagine, for a moment, a non-invasive treatment that softens wrinkles and supports lax skin in a single 30-minute session with minimal downtime. Too good to be true? Nope—you just haven’t been introduced to Sofwave.
Sofwave is an FDA-cleared treatment that relies on a new delivery method of ultrasound technology called SUPERB™ (read: Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam Technology) to naturally smooth and lift vulnerable areas around the brows, chin, and neck in a single in-office procedure. Even better, this trailblazing technology is effective for patients as young as 22 (though 40-60 is the sweet spot for incredible results) and can be performed on all skin tones all year round.
Image Sofwave
Wondering how it works? First, a little aging 101: When we’re born, our skin is practically spring-loaded with collagen and elastin—two essential scaffold proteins that work in tandem to smooth, plump, elasticize, and lift our skin. But collagen and elastin production declines with age, which explains why the dolphin-smooth skin of our 20’s begins to lose its bounce and glassiness over time. And this is where Sofwave comes in: Relying on that aforementioned SUPERB™ technology, Sofwave heats the skin’s collagen and elastin reserves to a temperature between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius, triggering a healing response that increases the production of those incredible proteins. The result? Smoother, plumper, and all around younger looking skin.
Sofwave has become the go-to treatment of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, beauty editors, celebrities and influencers alike, resulting in highly-coveted awards from publications including Elle, Cosmopolitan, NewBeauty and SHAPE, The Zoe Report and more.

What are some trending colors and patterns for poolside this summer?
Get ready to make a splash this summer with anything but beige! Taking cues from Palm Royale and Palm Beach, bright, bold patterns in geometrics and florals are everywhere, injecting a sense of excitement into your poolside fashion. Mix them together for one cohesive look with the same undertones or go for a color block or tonal bold print like Dries Van Noten! Sheers on the beach are elegant and sexy with a hint of allure but no trashiness. Almost alternatively, maxi sheer dresses cover up a bathing suit beautifully and are not that different from what we have seen in the pantless runway trends! For anything beach or pool-related, Cult Gaia never disappoints. While known more for crochet looks, Cult Gaia beach robes can easily be worn as a midi or maxi dress, adding a trendy twist to your poolside ensemble.
Can you recommend some versatile cover-up options that seamlessly transition from poolside to brunch or a beachside dinner?
For a versatile and practical option to take you from pool or beach to brunch, consider anything crochet this summer. While it may not always be the best choice for a formal dinner, it’s perfect for almost anything else. Brands like Cult Gaia, Heidi Klein, and Bananhot offer beautiful sets and dresses that can be worn as sheer dresses over a one—or two-piece swimsuit, seamlessly transitioning from poolside to other occasions. PatBo also makes gorgeous swimwear, cover-ups, and beachy dresses for any invitation that comes your way. Because resort wear is their main focus, you will undoubtedly find something that suits your needs.
Beach to dinner and early to bed is my favorite way to approach summer days! Making the most of daylight hours in Slinky lurex by Oseree or Missoni works well for the day into the evening. A plunging one-piece swimsuit by Yves Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello transitions an elegant sunbathing look into a sexy halter top when paired with white jeans or a bright-print maxi skirt.
Even black sheers (if the temps aren’t too high) look elegant, and a pair of heels or elegant sandals with a black one- or two-piece swimsuit makes a dramatic statement. Jade Swim makes relatively inexpensive sheer black shirt dresses and shirts that look elegant from day to evening. You can feel confident in the elegance and versatility of this choice.
Are there any must-have statement pieces or designer items that instantly elevate a poolside look?
Try pairing your print cover-up dress with a matching print bag. I recently scored a vintage print Dior bag that matched a dress I already have in my closet. Also, most luxury brands make totes that work well for business carry-alls and the beach. Oversized totes like the large Dior book tote work much better casually than in the corporate world. Still, the medium-sized totes by Givenchy, Lanvin, Saint Laurent, and even Hermes make an ultra-luxe statement while carrying your laptop and other business necessities. Chanel has a beach tote complete with a matching towel and pouch for your items every year for a super luxe beachside look that will have all heads turning. As these are strictly beach/pool items, you can enjoy wearing them year after year for mid-winter beach vacations or all summer. One caveat: they are hard to locate in the boutique, so opt for resale like this one at TheRealReal
What shoes do you recommend for a chic beach look, even on the sand?
I love the super flat slip-on slides by Prada, Dior, and Hermes; however, as a person of tiny stature, I always love a great wedge heel in a relatively indestructible material like these Marshmellow wedges I discovered by Givenchy. They add an instant and seemingly comfortable 4.3-inch platform and heel.
What hair and makeup trends complement poolside fashion for a polished yet effortless appearance?
My beauty guru and niece, Carly Rae Smith, who works for Sephora in Trumbull, has been passionate and knowledgeable about beauty and products for years. She helped me with this guidance, and trust me, she is an expert! My one additional suggestion is Fiona Franchimon’s No. 1 Hairpins for quick, easy updos that won’t break fragile hair. Don’t leave home without a bunch of those in your bag!
