Wear
Why not cheer up your summer wardrobe with this flirty dress from the new Kate Moss Top Shop collection? The fun colors and flowy style make it the perfect piece for a summer party!
Price: $90
Purchase: www.topshop.com
Decorate
The striped rugs from Dash and Albert are an inexpensive way to freshen up any space. Use one of their smaller rugs to brighten your kitchen or bathroom or even purchase one of their indoor/outdoor rugs to add some color to your outdoor area just in time for that Memorial Day bbq!
Price: $28-$400 (price depends on size and material)
Purchase: www.dashandalbert.com
Drink
There’s nothing new about Pimm’s Cup but in my opinion its one of the best summer drinks! It is refreshing and light enough to sip on all day. There are many different recipes, but this one from Martha Stewart looks delicious. It has more fruit than some of the others I’ve tried so if you don’t have all those ingredients some Pimm’s, 7up and lemonade should do the trick! Pimm’s is also good just on the rocks, which you might resort to after you have a few :)

Have an amazing Memorial Day weekend! Summer is finally here, yay!!

I’m a big fan of Tracy Matthews jewelry and was very happy to find out she’s having an online sample sale that includes an additional 20% off through Memorial Day if you enter the code mem2009 when you checkout. Her designs have a beautiful organic quality and her necklaces are great for layering! All of the above designs are included in the sample sale and are seriously marked down.

Miette

Today is my birthday and in my opinion one of the best things about birthdays is the cake (or at least the relief of not having to feel guilty about eating sweets). So, in celebration I decided to treat myself to the macarons from Miette. Their macarons are like biting into a little piece of heaven and if I could live off these perfect confections without being bigger than a house, I would.
But in addition to the pleasure of eating their macarons, is the pleasure of visiting Miette to purchase them. This patisserie is beautiful. It’s so feminine and delicate that you half expect Angelina Ballerina herself to pirouette up to the counter and order a princess cake. It’s refreshing to go into a store where presentation is as important as the product, which makes the whole process feel indulgent and special, the perfect birthday combination.
As I officially become a late twenty-something and my life becomes undeniably that of a real adult, it was wonderful to be in Miette and for a moment feel like a little girl surrounded by sweets, whose biggest decision was picking out the perfect cake that would hold the candles to be blown out for her perfect wish… even if it was just until they finished ringing up my purchase.
