Summer Beauty

July 15, 2020

It’s getting hot out there and it’s time for cotton dresses, flip flops and wide-brimmed hats. Summer means shedding a few layers and showing some skin. But it’s important to keep that skin, as well as your hair, protected from the sun.

Summer Beauty

I’ve rounded up my favorite skincare, beauty and haircare products that are sure to keep your body protected and hydrated all summer long. Instead of sweating, you’ll glow!

Skincare

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099229″]

Shiseido Benefiance Wrinkle Smoothing Day Cream SPF 23

This product was suggested to me during a hydrafacial at Sephora and I’ve been using it ever since. The scent and texture are luxurious, it just glides onto the skin.

Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++

I treat this like a primer. This cream is light and it serves as the perfect canvas for a flawless summer face.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

The Beauty Elixir from Caudalie is one of my favorite beauty products. Period. I have several bottles all over my house and I always keep a small bottle in my purse. It is so refreshing. Pro tip: Use it during and after a flight. You can thank me later.

Haircare

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat & UV Protective Primer

You protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays, why not protect your hair? I find that when I consistently use this spray before I heat style my hair my color lasts longer.

Ouai Texturizing Hairspray

This spray is light enough that it doesn’t weigh down your hair or make it crunchy. It provides just enough hold for those beachy waves.

Bumble And Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil UV Protective Dry Oil Finishing Spray

Finish your look off with this luxurious spray which not only protects your hair, it gives it a summery sheen.

FRESH Sugar Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 15

This is a product that I keep coming back to. It keeps my lips exfoliated and hydrated. It also protects them from the sun which is something that can often be overlooked. 

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099252″]

IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream with SPF 50+

I received a sample size tube of this and it has lasted me weeks. A little goes a very long way. Though it provides sheer coverage, this CC cream neutralizes redness while giving me a sun-kissed glow. 

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099253″]

Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Color in Reflection

I love cream eyeshadows but have had little luck finding one that doesn’t crease. Though this formula isn’t perfect, if I apply it over a thin layer of CC cream it stays put better than any other cream shadow I’ve tried. 

Bonus Points

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099259″]

Hydracy Water Bottle with Time Marker

If I’m dehydrated, my skin is dehydrated and no amount of makeup will help me out. I’ve shared my love for this water bottle before. It really helps me to stay up on my water intake.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099261″]

Esarora Ice Roller

Ideally you should keep your beauty products in the fridge but this stays in the freezer. After washing and drying my face I run this roller all over, paying particular attention to under my eyes. It gets rid of any puffiness and it’s very refreshing on a hot day.

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4099262″]

Eugenia Kim Sunny “Do Not Disturb” Hat

Why not employ fashion to help protect yourself against the sun’s harmful rays? This cheeky hat is a staple in my beach bag! 

So there you have it. These are my essential summer beauty products that I always have with me for any beach day or warm weather getaway. What are some of your favorite summer beauty products?

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

A very New York kind of magic. ✨ One minute we’re A very New York kind of magic. ✨

One minute we’re admiring the diamonds at the AMNH, where I am quietly debating if a 500-carat sapphire pairs best with pearls or my leather jacket, and the next, Aurora is blinking awake in her carriage to the sound of dozens of strangers belting out a classic at Strawberry Fields. 🥂

Honestly, slipping into a daydream when you are surrounded by that much unapologetic sparkle is practically a rite of passage—even for a little one catching a nap on the go. But rolling the stroller out into the fresh air for a spontaneous park-bench chorus? That is exactly the kind of city magic you just can’t plan.

Throw on your comfiest heels, grab an espresso, and let the city completely rewrite your family itinerary today. You never know where the detour will take you. 🚕 🍎

102 floors up, and right now, it truly feels like 102 floors up, and right now, it truly feels like we have the world at our feet. ✨

Celebrating 12 years in the very city where we got engaged—and where my own NYC story started—is pure magic. Watching our two girls thrive and fall completely in love with the city makes this milestone that much sweeter.

But let’s be unapologetically real for a second: marriage isn’t just about these glittering, top-of-the-world high notes. It’s about the grit behind the glam. It’s how you show up as an absolute team when the view isn’t so pretty, relying on each other through the tough, messy seasons that take real work.

Through the sky-high moments and the days that require all the hustle and heart we’ve got, there is absolutely no one else I’d rather navigate it all with.

Happy 12 years, Alex. Here’s to the climb, the view, and our beautiful, wonderful life together. 🥂🗽🖤

The only acceptable reason for a pre-dawn wake-up The only acceptable reason for a pre-dawn wake-up call. 🚕🥂🏙️

We are officially trading the quiet morning routine for the absolute magic and beautiful chaos of Manhattan! I wanted to start this trip off with a little bit of mystery, so before the girls even opened their eyes, the clues were waiting for them. There is nothing quite like that split-second realization when they figure out we are heading to the city.

The bags are packed, the sneakers are laced, and we are ready to take a bite out of the Big Apple.

Do you surprise your kids for trips, or do they help you count down the days? Let me know below! 👇

This is 40.🥂✨ For as long as I can remember, I ha This is 40.🥂✨

For as long as I can remember, I had this recurring dream. I’d be a little girl, sitting in front of a mirror, watching myself age. And right before I hit my 40th birthday, I would just… disappear. For years, I carried this quiet, nagging fear that my story was supposed to end before this decade even began.

But plot twist: I didn’t fade out. I just finally found my lighting.

I am officially 40, and I’m living a life I never could have scripted, let alone expected to love this much. I’m married to Alex—the wonderful guy I took to my senior prom, who I’ve been with for 20 years (married for almost 12!), and who I’ve been crushing on since I was even younger than Arielle. I’m raising the most amazing, insightful, and beautiful little girls who challenge me in the absolute best ways every single day.

I am completely in love with our beautiful, crazy chaos. I get to hustle at multiple jobs entirely on my own schedule, collaborate with dream brands in ways I never imagined, and bring my favorite people along for the ride.

Today was delightfully chill by design. But behind the scenes, I am deep in planning mode for a once-in-a-lifetime trip where everything is aligning perfectly, and I get to work with globally known brands and iconic landmarks.

I had a little revelation in the shower last week (I’ll share the full story soon), but to sum up exactly how I’m feeling right now: these last 40 years have been an incredibly wild, beautiful adventure. But with everything unfolding for me lately, I have this undeniable feeling that it was all just dress rehearsal.

The main act is just getting started. Watch out world—I’m coming for you. 🖤🍾

Since we’ve already established that my birthday is the official August holiday, I feel it’s only fair to remind you that the big day is actually tomorrow. Which means, yes, you still have precisely enough time to find me something suitably fabulous.

I’ll gladly accept vintage Chanel, a fresh box of pastries from that impossible-to-get-into French bakery, or simply an uninterrupted hour to drink something sparkling out of a coupe glass while wearing tulle and a leather jacket.

Here’s to another year of unapologetic ambition, wearing the killer heels even when I’m wrangling the girls, and adding a little extra rock ‘n’ roll edge to the everyday. 

Let the birthday festivities commence! 💖🍾
