Happy July!

I hope you enjoy every second of your holiday weekend. It’s always good to remember the freedoms and privileges we are afforded because we live in America – even with it’s faults. I begin to feel that summer is in full force when the 4th comes around, and I never fail to wonder where June has gone.

Obsessed with this

A friend from work pointed this out to me. Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. designed “the bottle” which is inspired by Italian women who accessorize with fresh flowers. How chic is that?

Summer of Rock

For some reason, it doesn’t bother me that Erin Wasson is completely typecast as the free-spirited hippy rocker. She wears it well.

Lara Stone: Vanity Fair July 2011

This is my favorite look for summer. Nothing plays up a tan like red lips. My go-to red lip for summer is CoverGirl Lip Perfection in Flame.

I’ve spent the past six months wishing for summer and now I can’t believe it’s here. I love everything about it: the sun, the heat, the late nights, balmy weather, pool time, flimsy dresses, tan lines, fresh fruit…This one is especially special – it’s the summer of love.
