Am I the only one who doesn’t splurge on summer fashion?
Yes, I love the sun and the beach, but summer styles never really do it for me! Because of that I never really splurge on pieces for my summer wardrobe. Anytime I invest in a pricey bathing suit or cover-up I end up cringing the moment they are covered in sand, sweat, and sunscreen!
So I decided to round-up my favorite budget summer styles today. Each one of these pieces are under $45, easy to style and won’t leave you with buyer’s remorse when the sand, sweat, and sunscreen hits them.
We are smack dab in the middle of summer and if you are anything like me you love to wind down with a little Rosé on a warm summer afternoon, or evening…or all day. So why not throw the ultimate Rosé Party?
And apparently, I am not the only one drinking Rosé this summer. There are over 150,000 Rosé cocktail ideas on Pinterest and searches for rosé cocktails are up over 138%! So with that in mind, I partnered up with the teams at Pinterest and Brit + Co to throw the Ultimate Rosé Party last Friday at the Brit + Co headquarters. We shared 5 simple ways to up your Rosé Party ways – check out the full Facebook live post below.

This was by far one of my favorite recipes from the rosé party! Not only are they delicious, they are BEYOND Instagramble!

The stunning set up for our Facebook Live Rosé Party!
If I learned one thing from teaming up with both the Pinterest and Brit + Co teams is that the devil is in the details. From blush colored flowers in reclaimed glass vases to edible flowers in the ice cubes + popsicles to adorable striped straws – They are ALL essentials when throwing the ultimate Rosé Party.
And, can we also take a moment to admire this stunning Rosé bottle from Tank Garage Winery? The Stars Like Ours Rosé is summer in a glass. This fresh vintage Rosé is filled with aromas of watermelon, strawberry, rose petals, mint and grapefruit rind. Perfect on its own or as the featured Rosé in our Rosé Ice Cube recipe!
And a little post-Rosé Party cheers in the Brit + Co garden. Our Facebook live was less than 15 minutes long…so I had to stick around to finish off all the cocktails, right?
What was your favorite recipe from the Rosé Party? Let me know in the comments.
I’ve stayed at the Meritage collection of properties in Napa about 25 times over the last few years. From Bottlerock here at the Meritage to Christmas across the street at the Vista Collina these properties have a lot to offer when you are staying in Napa.
The Meritage is a bit of an older property, but it has something to offer for everyone and is very family-friendly (kids pool with a splash pad, bowling alley -> lots of kids activities) and a very kid-friendly menu at all the restaurants.
The Vista Collina is the Meritage’s newer sister property right across the street. I stayed there with my family for Christmas and I would give it a hard 10/10. Everything is new and modern, the staff was AMAZING and you have a ton of wine tasting options right below your hotel room! Yep, you can walk out of the hotel and straight to some of the best tasting rooms in the Napa Valley. No need for an uber or DD -> you don’t need to stay at the Vista Collina to taste (we took advantage of the tasting rooms yesterday).
We all know that I come to Napa often, but there’s a reason that I always end up at this property and it’s the convenience!
Just about an hour away door to door from my house in San Francisco lies the Meritage Resort and Spa in the Napa Valley. Last week I packed bags for both me and Benji and hit the road to Napa with my girl Ashley from Two Peas in a Prada.
The Meritage invited us to spend some time at their stunning property to eat, drink, relax, and participate in their very first Wellness Wednesday.
Each month, Spa Terra at the Meritage Resort will offer a calming 75-minute yoga flow class overlooking the resort’s beautiful vineyards followed by a surprisingly hardy Spa superfoods brunch curated by Chef Ryan Rupp. Once you are fully relaxed and satisfied from brunch there is an option to enhance your afternoon with spa treatments at Spa Terra, offered at a 15% discount (we obviously did), followed by wine tasting in our robes at the Trinitas Cellars tasting room and a little pool time.

Say goodbye to the boring sad suits our moms wore and hello to this stunning ASOS Pink Skirt Suit!
Yes, I am living up to every basic millennial stereotype. Look at me posing in my pink jacquard fast fashion suit -> next to the perfect millennial pink wall with my little tiny sunglasses that I only purchased because Kanye told Kim that she had to wear them.
Aside from me being a basic bitch – this suit is AMAZING and because I waited so long to post these photos on the blog (like the lazy millennial that I am) NOW it’son sale! So snag your mom’s credit card and shop this suit and the rest of the epic ASOS sale!
What I Wore:
ASOS Pink Skirt Suit – Blazer: ASOS DESIGN, Tailored Floral Jacquard Blazer and Skirt: ASOS DESIGN, Floral Jacquard Mini Skirt
I love to make a statement, especially when it comes to my personal style.
You will rarely find me in a head-to-toe black look and I almost always find myself my favorite statement style pieces from ASOS – including this dress.
The ASOS Flutter Sleeve Dress from this post made its way into my shopping cart the moment it landed on the ASOS website (I check the New In tab every morning). It’s the perfect dress for any occasion, especially this time of the year. Think weddings, graduations or even a date night. The body is fully lined (very impressive) for the $119 price tag and the glittery polka dots make the dress easy to transition from day to night. This dress has been in my closet for less than 5 days and I have already worn it twice! Snag it here and take advantage of the “Time to Treat Yourself” sale at ASOS.
What I Wore:
Dress: ASOS, Flutter Sleeve Midi Dress with Hanky Hem in Glitter Spot
