We are in the high of summer now and the sun is shining - it's wonderful! I'm loving the small gold accents in all your summer pieces. The subtle gold specs in fabrics, and the gold hues in make-up, and the glistening tan skin (not mine sadly). Here are a few of my favorite pieces: I hope all of you are having an amazing summer so far! There is plenty more of it left :-)

Photo via my Instagram: come follow me :-) Happy Monday! This past week/weekend was jam packed with work related stuff. Even though my work can at times be beautiful; great people, stunning events, elements of design - it's still work. I love what I do but at times it feels like I live for the weekend and all the while getting there I can turn into some work drone. Last week it was too beautiful to sit in an office all day so I made sure to get out for lunch. I walked two blocks to my new favorite spot, sweetgreen, and got their delicious lemonade and a salad. They always have good quotes up on their chalkboard and this one really resonated with me:
“Beware of looking for goals. Look for a way of life. Decide how you want to live and then see what you can do to make a living within that way of life.” To me that says it all. I want to start looking for ways to be happy each and every day with everything I have instead of looking towards future goals and breaking my back to make them happen. I wish you all the same, have an awesome week! Xo, Carly I just got back from a perfect girls getaway to the Hamptons this past weekend. I have never been before and we stumbled across this beautiful hotel, the Montauk Beach House. It was a very cool spot, laid back, and amazing people watching! The pool was perfection all day Saturday and the town was like a movie set. I didn't really know what to pack since I have never been and wasn't sure what style would be best. I played it simple and realized that it wasn't so "fancy" as I once thought. Everyone seemed put together effortlessly - just polished and cool. Here a few pieces I will be packing next time ;-) Where are you spending your long weekends this summer?
Xo, Carly This weekend I was able to wear just a tank and jeans and not be freezing. I was able to wear a maxi dress and the breeze felt like a nice relief. Which means summer is around the corner! Better get my faux glow on:
Have you every tried any of these? Have any feedback? Did I miss a self tanner that you love? I am so so pale; so I'd love to hear more if you got it!!
Xo, Carly We are half way through the week friends and nothing is better then dreaming of filling your closet with some light-weight fabrics in summer colors because summer is on it's way! I just booked a trip to the Hamptons with some girlfriends and this event Splendid is throwing at The Street in Chestnut Hill on May 31st is a perfect way to start my summer wardrobe.
