Happy Monday everyone! It’s Labor Day which means that Hamptons season is officially coming to a close — although ironically, I’ll be there for a bachelorette party next weekend so may be a bit of an overstatement. Even still, with summer slowly leaving us and with it my time out east, here’s a throwback to 7 great moments that made this a summer to remember.
1. Brunch with Bentley
It doesn’t get too much more posh then breakfast at the Beechnut Hill Farm Estate of Jeffrey Colle for Bentley’s.
This week, I’m posting fall previews to to kick off #STYLEMONDAY, I thought I’d show off one of my favorite fall fashion trends!

And not just as part of your puffy jacket or cold day fashion; as in literally paired with anything your dress pants to cocktail dresses. I for one am obsessed with big beanies — and actually rarely leave home without one in the fall and winter months since I’m ALWAYS cold. However,
Happy Friday! For this weeks #FreebieFridays we were inspired by the VMA’s and specifically Ciara who I had the pleasure of seeing on stage at last weeks. Man she can move! And from the red carpet to the stage, Ciara trusts Degree with motionSENSE to keep her constantly protected and smelling fresh.
This week, we’re giving away Ciara’s new self-titled album, autographed by Ciara and bottle of Degree motionSENSE to one lucky fan!
As the only deodorant with exclusive motionSENSE technology that’s activated by motion; the more you move (or dance!), the more it protects. And as part of their DO:MORE campaign, which encourages fans to do more of what they love, it doesn’t get too much better then Ciara to get inspired to push your limits.

After much anticipation, Jane Cosmetics is back and has officially re-launched at 500 ULTA beauty stores with plans to expand to 65 more stores by the end of October. I stopped by the brands launch celebration and had to pleasure of meeting the woman behind the brand, Lynn Tilton. She’s a pillar in this industry someone a lot of us look up to as she’s also the head of Stila Cosmetics and 70+ other companies. (Talk about a super entrepreneur). Offering quality makeup at affordable prices, Jane fills the niche between value and prestige cosmetics lines.
With the belief that true beauty comes from giving back and that confidence comes in many colors, Tilton created a line that empowered women to be
