Instagram Roundup: Whites + Poolside Stripes
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an Instagram outfit roundup on here but I wanted to share two summer looks that I recently posted.
As always, be sure to sign up for LiketoKnow.it and follow along there too!
Shop this look and other similar items below (exact dress here too and get these sunnies and other designer ones for a month FREE with code: TOASTING)!
Shop this look and what I wore Memorial Day weekend poolside below!
Here’s to Summer, Stripes & obviously, lots of SPF for yours truly.
never forget 9.11.01
Today I am taking a break from regular blogging to remember all those that were lost 13 years ago today.
My 14 year old brother called me this week to ask me to help him with his homework. I had no idea what he was talking about (I assured him he was better at math than me by this point). He then asked me where I was on September 11th, 2001 and to tell him everything I remembered.
It hit me that he was barley 1 year old that day and now starting high school just like I was on that day 13 years ago in history class. I told him everything about that day, exactly where I was and how scared I was go to NYC again. My aunt (the same one who this blog is dedicated to) owned a fashion accessory company and I grew up traveling to NYC with her every few months for shopping trips, shows, amazing dinners and New York Palace stays long before Blair Waldorf called it home. There was no city I loved more.
Today I am remembering and honoring all those that were lost that day in NYC, at the Pentagon down the road and in PA and all those lives that were lost since then fighting for our freedom.
I am thinking of all my friends up in NY and here in DC and am so proud to call our great nation’s capital home.
May we never forget and keep all our loved ones close today.

OOTD: Memorial Day Weekend
Another outfit post today on H&T – I think this outfit is fitting for patio parties, brunches and of course, Memorial Day weekend activities that may or may not include hosting and/or toasting.
Also, be sure to check out my Summertime Entertaining Tips on Fashion Washington to get you started this weekend!

how to: make-your-own-mojito-kit
I was so flattered when the ladies of Commerce Street Events told me that I inspired their Spring party favor at the Sips & Dinner dinner party. You probably know by now that I love myself a good favor and this one is proof that you can still enjoy them at 21+!
Alas, we’re sharing this DIY Make-Your-Own-Mojito-Kit that you and your guests can enjoy – think about how perfect these would be at a bachelorette weekend or bridal shower too!

- Mini Bottles of Light Rum
