Style Refresh

As the seasons change and we get into the warmer months, our daily routines always changes a bit. We like to think of these changes as our summer style and beauty “upgrade,” because the need for all of these changes is due to something that we love – Like the sun, warm weather, salt water…need we go on? There are so many quick and easy ways to upgrade to your daily routine. From a brighter mani, to SPF everything, and even a little change in my coffee routine, we are going to show you our idea of the perfect summer style refresh!

Summer Style Upgrade

Beginning with the basics, here are just seven, simple ways we've upgraded our style this summer:

1. Nivea Kiss of Protection, Lip SPF 30: Literally, feels like butter. Plus, we can’t stress the importance of protecting your lips! Don’t forget, they are important for many things ;)

2. Sonia Kashuk Sunkissed Bronzing Powder: It’s time we embrace our summer glow with a little help from a good bronzing powder. For under $10, the price can’t be beat.

3. Sephora Ribbon Hair Ties: Hair ties are essential on hot days. And this is one of those situations where you say to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?” A comfortable, no-pull hair tie that also looks great on your wrist? Sold! We also love that Sephora offers this colorful variety pack.

4. L’Oreal Nail Color, Not A Cloud In Sight: Tis the season to brighter and bolder hues! A new nail polish is the easiest way to upgrade your look with a pop of color.

5. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock: A no hassle, mess-free way to make sure our precious skin is protected from the sun, at all times.

6. Starbucks Iced Coffee Drinks: The essential beverage for the long, hot days of spring and summer! Plus, in the warmer seasons we’ve found that our schedules get a bit more hectic than usual, leaving us less time to brew that pot of coffee every morning. These ready-to-go iced coffee drinks are our solution! They come in so many delicious flavors (vanilla and caramel are our favorites!) so there’s always something to fit our ever-changing, daily cravings.

7. Starbucks Cold-To-Go Straws: We couldn’t resist these reusable straws for our coffee. There’s something about drinking out of a straw that just makes things better.

Of course, there are even more ways beyond these seven summer essentials to upgrade your style. New bathing suits, a new beach tote, mirrored sunglasses, strappy sandals and a bright lip take things to the next level for the fun-filled and fashionable summer ahead (see above)!

Oh, and those Starbucks Iced Coffee drinks, we highly recommend you try these delicious bursts of energy in a jar. You can also pick up a set of venti-sized straws here, while you’re at it!

The Perfect Pair

Blazer via Target, Local Celebrity Tee via Nordstrom, Blank NYC Flare Jeans c/o Nordstrom,
Rebecca Minkoff Chelsea Wayfarer Sunglasses, Stella & Dot Jewelry

A lot of things inspire me in my life. Besides the obvious like music, fashion and my puppies of course (they inspire me to do big things), flowers and nature really inspire me as well. And when I say "inspire," I mean that there's really always something special that influences a decision I make. A decision like what I buy when I go shopping! A cool quote and an even cooler graphic font, like the one on this tee, is what initially drew me in. The touch of flower print in the font makes it perfect for spring and summer and the cut off sleeves make it something a little more than just a basic tee. You can never have too many tee's in my book!

I also finally found the perfect pair of flare jeans! They are tight on the knees (important) and super flared at the bottom...and just what my closet needed! I just love this outfit so much, can you tell by how many pictures I had to post of it?

The tee and jeans are both from the Nordstrom Savvy department - I told you, you have to check it out! Oh, and, my tee says "Wild At Heart," but I'm short so you can't see the whole thing! :)

A Spring Trend Video


If you remember, I spent a day in a New York studio not too long ago, where I spent the day shooting a video with Marshalls. I shared on camera one of my favorite spring trends, why I'm loving it so much and how to wear it, of course. And now, I am finally able to reveal the spring trend video that I made that day. But first...some fun, behind the scenes photos of what went on off camera and what it took to make this video happen. There was a hair and make-up team, a videography crew, a media team, a stylist and her team (and her adorable puppy), five bloggers and a lot of clothes!

Spring Savvy

Bracelet & Ring c/o Charm Georgetown, Jeffrey Campbell Wedges, Michael Kors Watch

If you haven't checked out the new Nordstrom Savvy department yet, just leave it to use to tell you how great it is. Filled with the hottest brands, designs and trends that you will love and prices that are so good they don't even make sense, we like to think of it as a perfect mix of BP and TBD. The extraordinary Savvy team has even introduced us to a new favorite brand. From LA, ASTR is what Erika wore from head to toe to our Dos de Mayo party at the Pentagon City store. I love how she brightened up a neutral, leather crop top with these cute, tropical palazzo pants. You'll even find that the saucy, little bandeau top that goes with these pants is on sale now (here). Of course, Erika had to get that too. We're really digging a matching set these days.

Thank you to the Nordstrom Savvy team, we loved working with you! See you soon :)

Check out what I wore to the Dos de Mayo event here! Another matching set, of course.
