Summer Brights

As if I wasn’t already dying to go to the beach…now I want to go wearing giant rock necklaces and tribal crop tops.

Summer Work Wear

I love these outfits for inspiration when the days are oh-so long and hot and you’d so rather be at the pool than in the office.

Natalia’s Split

Natalia Vodianova

My favorite model-mom Natalia Vodianova admitted her split from husband Justin Portman. It made me so sad because I have always thought they were particularly adorable. The story here.  Cute pictures of happier times below…

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.

Red Lips

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.
