Summer is here and it's often a season of dressing casually to combat the heat and humidity. But as someone who has loved fashion for decades and always want to feel and look put together, I challenge myself constantly to put together easy casual summer looks that are comfortable and chic. And these are looks that I repeat each year because they are classic and timeless. From amusement parks, to neighborhood parks or weekend wanderings, it's still worth wearing something you love and feel great in. Here are a round-up of casual summer outfits to use replicate or use for

Sweater | Jeans (similar) | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses Friday Finds 6.14 1. I just got this colorful tote bag in and am going to be wearing it ALL summer long. It's humongous and also holds everything! 2. I wanted a simple pair of black sandals for summer and ordered these from Target to try. I will share once they arrive. 3. A tan/neutral blazer is a closet staple and I just ordered this one which is on major sale! 4. These pull on linen shorts look so chic! And they have a bunch of really good reviews and

Everything I Read in May 2024 1. Just For the Summer This is a really fun beach read though it got a bit more deep than I anticipated. LOL Justin posted on a Reddit thread how every girl that he dates breaks up with him and then finds her soul mate right after. He is convinced that it's a curse and doesn't know how to break it. Emma reads the thread and realizes that she faces the same issue. So Emma DM's Justin on a whim to laugh about the fact that she has the "curse" too. They begin talking

If there is one season when you want to wear all the glowy body products, it is definitely summer. The Patrick Ta Glow Balm has been on my wish list for a while. So I decided to finally purchase it and try it out. Patrick Ta products are hit or miss with me - I have really enjoyed some and others were not a fit. Patrick Ta is a celebrity makeup artist who started his own brand a few years ago and it is has quickly gained massive popularity. He is known for creating looks that are glowy, sultry and

NARS powder blushes are a makeup classic. Almost everyone I know has owned one at some point. There are so many gorgeous colors to choose from, they are long wearing and the pigment is rich and intense. They recently launched them in a newly upgraded texture and formula that is designed to be longer wearing with an even more weightless feel. Richer true-color payoff in the iconic colors that NARS fans have come to know and love. I have three shades to review in this post - the uber popular shade Orgasm, a gorgeous everyday rose shade Dolce Vita and

If the heat and humidity has you feeling ragged and exhausted, I am here with some products to give you the ultimate summer makeup glow-up! I shared a soft summer makeup look a few weeks ago and I thought I would give my take on a radiant summer makeup look in today's post. I love to achieve that lit from within look with the products I use. Think refined radiance, yes? This look would still be beautiful all year long but it's especially fun to amp up the glow in the warm weather. Giving the appearance of having spent a

Blazer | Vest | Jeans | Belt | Sandals | Sunglasses | Bag (similar) Friday Finds 6.7 1. I've been eyeing these mixed metal earrings for so long! They are currently on their way to me and I can't wait to style them! (code: MAREE15) 2. I am obsessed with all things skincare but I don't just focus on my face. I treat the skin on my body with just as much care. And I heard great things about this body serum and ordered it to try. 3. I'm into longer shorts this summer and there are so many good

Though I am a neutral gal at heart, summer outfits call for all the bright patterns, eye catching prints and vibrant colors in my opinion. If there is a season to upgrade your wardrobe and incorporate something more bold, summer is the time to do it. After spending nearly 15 years in NYC, summer dinners were a religion in the city. Outside dining was in full swing, the heat had cooled off, the people watching was epic and almost any cute summer outfit went in terms of what to wear. Keep it fun, keep it casual, keep it super dressy

I've never been a fan of dry shampoo. I have tried so many and every single one always left my hair feeling dirtier, which is the opposite of what they are supposed to do. Dry shampoos are designed to help eliminate oil on the scalp, refresh the hair, add volume and allow you to possibly not have to wash it every single day. I tried all the tricks and tips when using dry shampoo but nothing seemed to work. But I decided to try one again on a whim one day when my hair needed a bit of volume and

Glowy sunscreens are super popular right now and for good reason. Sun protection AND a healthy radiant finish to the skin?! Yes, please. But not all glowy sunscreens are created equal. I have tried a handful of them and some manage to even out the skin tone, impart a healthy radiance and give amazing sun protection. Other formulas are way too shiny and emphasize any and all imperfections. No, thank you. I have a roundup of glowy sunscreens I'm loving as well as some that I don't love as much. I wanted to include both in this post for a
