What To Wear: Memorial Day Weekend

The official start of the summer season is right around the corner (yes for long weekends!) and all I want to do is relax with a cold beer on a rooftop. I'll be enjoying a staycation, but if you're traveling, this amazing weekend carryall bag from Sole Society is ideal. I'll be living in stripes, and I love the anchor detail on this J.Crew staple. For accessories, my new favorite C. Wonder sunnies only look expnsive - a steal at $78! They haven't left my face since I got them. My makeup will be minimal, so the new Josie Maran cheek gelee will be doing double-duty as a lip color. And how adorable are these woven flats? The yellow geometric pattern is so fresh.

Events: Smirnoff's Stir Up Your Summer

If you've been following my Summer Escape Series, I mentioned that in addition to fun style and beauty posts, I'd be giving you the inside scoop on a few events on my summer calendar! On Tuesday I had the pleasure of attending the Stir Up Your Summer event sponsored by Smirnoff. The event was held at the fab Tribeca location of the Tenoverten nail salon, where my fellow bloggers and I were treated to hours of pampering. Manis, pedis, makeovers, tarot readings, and of course tasting the new Smirnoff Sorbet Light flavors were the best part of the night, and I had too much fun! Take a look at some of my favorite snaps from the night below.

Our cocktail choices for the evening 

The pomegranate punch was delicious! Luckily, we left with a few recipes that I can't wait to try out at home. Perfect for summer nights on a rooftop!

 Some of the ladies getting manis!

Tenoverten has their own line of pretty nail colors

I chose Essie's DJ Play That Song and Bottle Service for my mani colors

...and I noshed on a few bites of sushi while getting a pedi!

There was also a makeup station for touchups!

Thanks so much to GLAM and Smirnoff for hosting an awesome event! It was a sweltering day on Tuesday, but this event really put me in the mood for the season.

Beauty Inspiration: Jennifer Lopez's Live It Up

Miss J.LO is back with a new music video for her single, "Live It Up" and is killing it with the glow she's famous for. The 43-year-old stunner rocks two beauty looks perfect for the hotter weather. The first look is a smoky eye nude lip combo, and the second - an unexpected pop of color on the lips. We don't normally see Jennifer in a bold lip color, and I love her matching mani!

Summer Escape: C. Wonder by the Sea

If you follow me on Instagram, you would've seen a few photos from my day in Southampton with C. Wonder this past Friday. I thought I'd share just a few of my favorite snaps from the day here as well! I spent the day at Chris Burch's gorgeous estate with some of my favorite fab bloggers, had lunch, and a visit to C. Wonder's Southampton store. Definitely visit C. Wonder for cute summer items in-store now. 

Summer Escape Series: Style Refresh

For the second part of my Summer Escape Series, I'm focusing on a style refresh - fashion, beauty and accessories to amp up your look for the season! The pieces I picked are perfect for a day at the beach, or for a mini-vacay! I always treat myself to at least one bold summer piece, usually in a print or color I wouldn't normally reach for. My carryall is also full of summer beauty essentials - in this case, a pretty blue polish, and bronzer for a warm glow. And to give me an extra boost of energy and satisfy my sweet tooth - my Starbucks! I love the new look of the bottles (it makes them easy to carry), and of course the flavors. Caramel is my personal favorite, but there's also vanilla, and coffee + milk. I usually pack one or two when I'm headed out for a little pick-me-up throughout the day.

SHOP: The prettiest tropical print dress (also love this one and this one) | Perfect snakeskin sandals for the beach | Classic aviators for everyday | A wear-with-everything necklace (also love this one) | A bronzer for a natural glow | My favorite iced coffee | Nail Color in Not a Cloud in Sight
