B Craving: Summer nail art

My nails have received little attention lately besides the occasional bright color pop. With so many events this Summer they are in some need of deserving awesome nail art!

HOLIDAY WEEKEND // BEACH DAY // POOL PARTY

B On my radar

A few things I've stumbled upon and put on the must buy, must do, must try lists.

Grapefruit and Mint Mojitos // Splendid Print Shorts // Chipotle Rubbed Salmon Tacos // Wood Desktop Calendar // Julep Nail Color Daphne and Yumi

B Asks: What are you reading?

The relationship you can have with a kindle is a great one, though I'm sure many say the same things about tangible books. This isn't meant for a debate but on my last trip to Miami while discovering that my kindle was no longer in working order I had to forgo my electronic ways and buy an actual book. There were the negatives of the price point but it did bring me back to the traditional feeling of reading a book.

But let's be real, I am a 2012 girl and love my kindle! So with a short call with Amazon, voila a new one came to me as of last night. I recently completed Sea Change by Karen White, a historical/mystery novel that surprisingly was a good read for an impulse airport purchase and ready to get lost in a new story. What was the last book you read? Tell me in the comments and then we can tweet details about it excessively!

B Played: Outdoor patterns

It is rare but yes I have a balcony in New York City. It wasn't something that was necessary but after a long apartment process months again it just happened and I've been spoiled throughout my first Summer in the city. Early mornings enjoying my book with my coffee or lounging with some music and cocktails. In the summer it's best to get outside as often and have fun, so here I am with some outdoor pattern play. More play sure to come with my friend coming into town this weekend, ready for some girlfriend time!

B Craving salt air

After a break weekend in Miami (as many saw on my Instagram) followed by high heat in the city, I am seriously craving some beach time. With our Delaware beach house just a few hours away I am hoping I can escape for some quick time this summer. I am already preparing for what most likely be an impromptu trip with the new purchase of two swimsuits (on SALE) from Anthropologie. I had my eye on this one for a long while and couldn't resist when the last one available was in my size and the green was a must.

There's not much you need at the beach besides your suit, flip flops and a good book. Afterall when it comes to my hair, the salt air does all the work.

B Covered: Hair sun prep

This last weekend I finally got to take some time to soak up the sun. But unfortunately that means an awful week for my hair. When the weather changes we can all feel it. Before another quick trip to Miami this weekend I am stocking up on some products/tools to help my hair throughout this summer weather.

Protective sun hair treatment // wide tooth comb // suave for kids detangling spray // Fekkai beach waves spray

B Spills: Lets catch up

It was if I blinked and a month went by since my last post. Blogging is something that I miss when I can't find the time or am too overwhelmed to create. Not going to give excuses but just some updates on where I've been so that we can catch up.

Bought these beauties and can't kick them off. Best casual purchase for Summer.

The new little man in my life, my nephew Mason Sterner. I'm a very proud aunt as this is now my favorite new site.

Began and finished the first season of Scandal. Have you seen it? 

New find via Nordstrom Rack. It's a good feeling.
