 MARA HOFFMAN BRAIDED BLACK SLOUCH PANTS

FOREVER 21 TEE

BILLY GIBBONS FLATS

ROUND METAL MIRROR RAY BANS

MADEWELL THE TRANSPORT TOTE

Really i'm just in love with these pants. I'm really proud of them because I made it out of a sample sale alive with them, in my size. They're Mara Hoffman who is one of my top ten favorite designers, and they feel so cool to walk in. It's not a mystery that all black is my go-to and I thought that this getup was the perfect outfit to go from work to play in.

SABON MUD FACE MASK

Thanks to my friends, I'm always breaking out of my shell and discovering new ways to take care of my hair, skin and body. I was recently introduced to this mud mask, which is the perfect remedy for the skin problems I've been having these days. I've never had a problem with oily skin, but lately that has changed, and it's likely that it was due to the summer season. 

Besides the fact that mud masks are just straight fun to put on, this one is great for its power to narrow pores while removing dead skin cells. You just leave on for fifteen minutes before removing with water. It feels great on the skin, smells delicious, and has a lasting clean feeling days afterwards! Make sure to use a moisturizer after to offset the dryness brought on when the clay from the treatment removes moisture from your pores. Sabon has one that it pairs with this, but I stuck with the Aveeno I already had. It can also be used for spot treatments in the case of blemishes, an up-scale version of the toothpaste trick.

MADE IN PHILADELPHIA ESSEX DRESS 

 I went a little full on Freeps this weekend, but what else is new. Let's talk about new labels though, Made In Philadelphia is a new line that I noticed Free People put out, it's super sleek style and this might be my favorite dress ever invented. It was perfect for a club atmosphere, which is what Atlantic City is all about and it was flattering for my body type, which I always seem to think is impossible unless I do a top/skirt combo and am in full control, so this a goodie

Below, I'm sporting the Voile slip, which I own in three colors, as do most of my coworkers, it's simply the best slip to have for a beach. Also the length is long enough where it works as a dress, but you have to wear a solid slip or tank/shorts combo underneath because there are lace accents that peek through.

The blouse that have on is great for the beach since its 100% sheer. It's made over-sized, and it's one of those pieces that is just too short to work as a dress, so you need to wear shorts with it. It's great when you wear it with a swimsuit because it suddenly becomes appropriate without a shirt underneath! 

Also my new favorite Sunnies are these round metal mirrored Ray Bans in silver, they fit my face perfectly for once and i'm obsessed.

Special thanks to my friends Taylor, Jackie, and Rotch being good sports by taking these photos! You're the bomb.com!

LAKE LANIER, GEORGIA

Let's make this short and sweet, just like my weekend. I made it to the ATL for the first time this weekend to visit family and friends. I ended up throwing the tourist agenda to the side for those days and just enjoyed the company I was in, soaking up the new scenes as a bonus. It ended up being the perfect not-so-planned plan, and exactly what I needed to set the tone for my summer. I highly recommend it.

 ONE TEASPOON CHAMBRAY ONESIE

I got the opportunity to work with my incredible photographer friend Mettie Ostrowski for the second time on a photo collaboration but this time we turned the camera around and she did my portrait. For our first shoot, I got up close and center with her and some gold foil. Mettie is an aspiring portrait photographer and art director and we thought up some great ideas for the future, so stay tuned!

For now, you get to see our casual beach shoot at Coney Island during sunset. After a day without sunblock and sunglasses, I wouldn't say i'm at my best, but I think there's something to say about exposing your face au naturale when you feel up to it.

Lets talk fashion though. Since i've worked at Anthro back in the day, i've grown to love chambray. Button ups, pull overs, and finally, this onesie. Jean and chambray short onesies are one of the trends this summer, and there are so many options in the shorterall realm. I had considered going for it and investing in one of those guys when I saw this One Teaspoon number. It's so lightweight, has square cut detailing on the side and some white leather straps accents, so it's truly one of a kind. I couldn't think of a better outfit to wear while i'm beaching it all summer.
