To-Buy: Treat Peppermint Patty

After a long weekend of parading around in bare feet 90% of the time, my soles are in need of some good loving. Most beauty brands have a peppermint foot lotion in their line, but Treat takes it one step further by offering a whipped cream-shea butter-aloe base with a macadamia nut-exfoliator. It accomplishes the task of two jobs in one while still smelling nice and minty fresh...plus the packaging is so cute! Treat Peppermint Patty, $20

Memorial Day Weekend Must-Haves

Jet-setting this weekend? Headed to the Hamptons? My low-key plans involve relaxed-chic style and minimal luggage. I'm planning on lots of cocktails on the deck, grilling on the bbq and a possible dinner in town. I'm relying more on accessories and makeup to change my look throughout the course of the weekend. My travel bag (believe it or not, I'm still using my 9 year old black nylon Prada super tote) will be filled with 4 fitted polos, 2 Bermuda shorts, one pair of jeans, 2 woven leather belts and, of course, my clear jellies and gold wedges. Add a pair of flip flops and a just-in-case sweater for good measure and I've got every outing covered.

As for jewelry, I'm snagging one of my new leather cord necklaces (perfect for poolside cocktails as well as brunch with the family the next day), three pairs of earrings and tons of gold chains, like my super mother of pearl shell pendant.

If you've been following along, you know I'm obsessed with every color available in Chanel's Glossimer lip gloss collection so I have plenty of variety at my disposal. Add a subtle tan courtesy of Jergen's Natural Glow, expertly-applied black Lancome Definicils mascara, the tiniest swipe of Nars Copacabana shimmer on my nose and cheekbones and I'm set.

Cheers and have a fabulous weekend!

Add this to my to-buy list: Marc by Marc Jacobs tote

I can't help it, I'm having another pink and orange moment (see last week's purchases). It's such a wacky summer color combination, but I just love it! Look what I may just score for myself today...this sweet Marc by Marc Jacobs tote

In My Bag: Pink & Green Notes

After hosting a smashing backyard bbq event this past weekend, it is now time to write thank you notes to all of my generous friends. Since the party decor was pink and green, I did a quick search for color-coordinated thank you note stationery to extend the theme one last time. My friends are going to think I've gone overboard on this preppy color combo, but I just love it! Crane's hot pink and lime green thank you notes; 10 for $14.

Lust List: Tory Burch ballerina flats

Ok, so when I posted the the picture of the new pink and orange polo I bought the other day, it sort of got me in the mood for acquiring many more things in the color orange. I was lusting after this pair of Tory Burch flats (so simple, so chic) when I noticed they also carry them in Equestrian orange. How happy am I now?!?! While you can't order them online, you have to call and place a special order, I think I'll make mention of this to my husband since there is still time to shop for Mother's Day!

Crazy for Pink & Orange!

I just picked up this $19.95 polo shirt from Gap (very 80s with the thick stripe, more modern slim fit, thank goodness) and am dying to get these $79 Jack Rogers Navajo sandals to match. A little too matchy-matchy in my opinion, but I'm just loving this color combination today for some reason!

Poll: Best Dressed at the Costume Institute's gala

Definitely one of the best looking red carpets in the world of fashion. I'm not a big Lindsay Lohan fan by any means, but she really looked great. Surprisingly elegant, on-trend and sophisticated.

Look what I found online: flip flop brooch

Perhaps you work in an office setting and flip flops just aren't appropriate corporate attire. Perhaps you are just not pedicure-ready yet. No matter, check out this sparkly flip flop brooch from our friends at AJ Fashion Jewellery in the UK. Very cute and, yes, they ship to the States.
