VINTAGE VIXEN: It's HOT!
by Tess
It is so scorching hot outside, all we feel like wearing are bodysuits/swimsuits as clothes! This one is especially cute- pair with a skirt or shorts for the day, and you're ready for sprinklers or a pool at a moment's notice!
How are you staying cool?

VINTAGE VIXEN: Bucket Bags for Summer
by Tess
I've been trying to commit to carrying a smaller purse for summer. I'm in love with the bucket bag as an easy carry-all-the-essentials solution. Love the cross body option for running around hassle-free in this heat. Adore these two non-black options below! So cute and easy. This classic vintage shape all of a sudden feels very modern, stylish and also practical. I want them both!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE NO MORE!
Yay! I just got back from a wonderful two weeks away after an amazing wedding! Here is a little bit of more to come! I dont' have professional pictures yet but here's a great pic of my husband and I walking down the aisle.The dress, if you are wondering, was custom made by my cousin who made couture wedding dresses professionally for years and did mine as a family favor. It is actually a two piece! The big skirt comes off to reveal a short satin dress. I didn't think this double-dress idea was even possible, but it worked out so well!
More to come!

HOMEY HONEY: Bedroom Love
By: Amanda
I recently purchased a new mattress. I have been fun looking at new bed sets and headboards. I came across this one at Urban Outfitters and knew it was the one for me. Not only did this headboard get great reviews online, but it also looks amazing. My comforter happens to be the same kind of design and now when I sleep I feel like a princess. Doesn't everyone want to feel that way when they wake up? Compared to other headboards it isn't badly priced either. The best part about it is that Urban Outfitters has free returns on this item if it isn't quite what you expected.

I have been planning my son's 4th birthday party over the last couple of weeks. It all comes together this Sunday. I found this awesome water tank at World Market and plan on using them to house the beverages. I can't wait to put a little old world charm into the party, which is vintage carnival themed. These would also be perfect if you are planning a 4th of July party or just to have for yourself. These will never go out of style.

Seaside Sails
By Jax
Can you feel that seabreeze? Who's going to the ocean this summer???? Growing up on an island (yes, Long Island makes me an island person!), I love the sea and all nautical fashion. This halter squarely fits into the category. Wear it to collect seashells, or for a seaside dinner.

COSMETICS CUTIE: Your Skin Will Beat the Heat
By Jen
It has been ridiculously hot and humid this week. Because of the severity of the temperature, I have been foregoing face make up in favor of a simple layer of SPF moisturizer. Although I am giving my face a bit of a break, I have not been able to escape the occasional beads of sweat and their accompanying shine.
Faced with shine, I turn to one product to help return my skin to its normal balance… Clean & Clear Instant Oil-Absorbing Sheets. These compact sheets can go anywhere and do the job of absorbing excess oil whether you are wearing make-up or going au naturel.
If you’re skin is facing extra shine this summer, invest in this budget beauty product. You’ll look fresh all summer long and your skin will surely beat the heat!

COMFY COQUETTE: Sex Kitten Slip On
I can't bear to go bare foot around the house, which can be a challenge in summer months -- who really wants to wear fuzzy slippers when it is 80-degrees outside?

Perfect for prancing around the house or by the pool, these flats are a must have.Made By: Steve Madden

HOMEY HONEY: Oh, Those Summer Nights
By: Amanda
I love summer nights outside. I love that it cools down a few degrees from the humidity of the daytime. I came across these tealight holders and knew it was perfect for some outdoor nighttime lighting. Instead of candles I pop in some LED tealights so I don't have to deal with remembering to blow the candles out. It creates a great mood and ambiance. I am thinking of bringing them in the house during the winter so it can take me back to those sumer nights.

The reversible belt is perhaps the greatest men's fashion accessory ever created. For boys on a budget, it's a godsend. A classy, sharp looking belt in two different colors for the price of one!

COSMETICS CUTIE: The Perfect Summer Glow
By Jen
I am not usually one for bronzer, but I got some sun over the weekend and decided I wanted to enhance my glow a little. Because I was out of my element, I decided to go with a bronzer that was basic and inexpensive. This led me to the Sephora Collection Sundisk in Copper.
This bronzer gives you a perfect sun kissed glow and if you have a natural tan, it enhances your skin tone and gives it some depth. Plus, this is a huge compact so the product will last for a long time and for $10, you can’t beat the value.
If you’re looking to give your skin a little something extra, try this bronzer. You’ll be sure to shine with that perfect summer glow!
