Last weekend, I had an awesome Governor’s Ball experience thanks to my good friends at Dove. They brought a whole crew of beauty bloggers and editors to the music festival and hosted a private cabana over looking the main stage. I’m a big music festival girl. I love the fashion, music, atmosphere (although the rain induced mudd from the night before I could have done without) and having that combined with my favorite beauty gals just made the day for me.
Hi loves! It’s been a go-go-go kind of week and I can’t wait to share all of the amazing launches happening over the next few months. (Stalk my instagram for a sneak peek). This weekend I’m headed to Governors Ball with Dove so there’s no better time to primp up! Although lets be honest, I never need an excuse to get glam.
Fortunately for the next two weekends, Topshop is partnering with Blo Blow Dry Bar, and Melt Bakery to host a Summer Concession Pop-Up at their 5th Avenue location. Come in for hair styling, a nail art bar, frozen treats and sip champagne while you shop!
For anyone not heading out to Governor’s Ball this weekend and hanging out in NYC, Dr. Martens is doing a cool event this Sunday evening with Love Hate Social Club, the tattoo artists from the reality TV show “NY Ink.”
Easily one of my summer highlights is going to the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. Everyone dresses to the nines in their best 1920’s/Pretty Woman inspired attire and drinks champagne all day — oh and there’s handsome men on horses, led by Argentine polo champion player Nacho Figueras playing polo in the background. It’s a visual fantasy and one I very much look forward to every year.

Whether you’re one for tradition or not, Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of white season. Now the fashion industry and whole ‘winter whites’ rivals this whole theme that began sometime in the late 1800s/early 1900s (no one really knows). The connotation being that white was for leisure, while dark clothing was for working people. The shade would dominate through Labor Day when it was then a faux pas to wear white after. Or so the socialites of that time would have you think — not Coco Chanel, she famously wore white year round. Although we all know she was ahead of her time.
It’s happening! Sunglass Hut is partnering with renowned global street artist, Theirry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash as part of their annual Art Series Collection.
Well kids, it’s been an exciting 3 weeks in Peru! I’ve traveled all over the country through Lima, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Huacachina, Trujillo and so much more that I can hardly believe this trip is coming to an end. While I’m putting together all of my travel guides for any of you planning a future tips, here’s a quick peak from a shoot James and I did while traveling through the Sacred Valley.

Day 3 (April 13th) could not have come with a better start. Glasses.com, the official eyewear sponsor of Coachella invited us to their VIP Glasses Half Full Coachella Party, which was like rehab for the soul. The space was so relaxing and beautiful, there was a live piano player and healthy bites from Fat Radish. Our fellow NYC pals, Vanity Projects we’re also at the event offering cool nail art and manicures. We lounged around the compound and visited the gifting suites from Sandro New York, Caeden headphones (which are a super cool design) and glasses.com. I found a pair of Rivet & Sway glasses that matched my hair perfectly and didn’t take them off the rest of the day (see pictured below).
After a super packed day 1 of Coachella (check out the full recap HERE), we decided for day 2 (Saturday, April 12th) we’d take the morning off and start the day with Pandora jewelry. Hosted at the Parker Hotel where we were staying, Pandora did a super cool activation during Coachella in which every day they partnered with a different designer and featured an exclusive runway show. Friday night they kicked off with Siwy Denim, Saturday with Nanette Lepore and Plenty by Tracy Reese and Sunday with WHit.
It’s hard to believe Coachella has come and gone! James and I had so much fun this season and having Patricia Field as our date is every bit as awesome as you would imagine and more! The three of us hit some miles in our Chevy Trax (which was the perfect travel car!) in our 4 days in Palm Springs (plus two in LA!).
We kicked off Coachella the night before the music festival at the “Not a Pool Party” kick off at Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs. Headlining the event was Elliphant, who unfortunately we left before she went on (had to rest up for the 1st day of Coachella)! We did however catch, PPL MVR, which was by far one of the strangest performances I have ever seen (and that says a lot).
