Somewear: The In-Laws’ Lake House at Sunset

Though I won’t be visiting my in-laws’ place this weekend, I will be joining my sis and dining with her new in-laws.  I love this ensem, because it’s the perfect mix of “casual elegance.”  Rompers can be dressed up or down, but I’ve styled this one right in between by pairing a basic flat with dreamy geode goodness.

Somewear: Lakeside Dinner with Friends

As Memorial Day quickly approaches, I can’t help but think of the fun festivities that will be
going on all across America.  This spot seems like somewhere I’d love to be; it’s simple, but
sublime.  The teals, earthy tones, and stones on the shoes are all reminiscent of the lake.  And I
couldn’t resist how perfectly these earrings matched the Moroccon inspired motif of the romper! 
Bring out the beautiful purples in the print with a pop of color to the nails.  My sis and I both
love the one bangle look, so why not finish it off with this one, appropriately called “Make
Waves."

Somewear: Cabanas with Cocktails (Or Mandalay Bay on Memorial Day)

My girlfriend, Sarah, has put me to my first task: a fab, yet affordable* “Memorial
Day moment” for her trip to Vegas.  This dress is meant to be seen poolside with piña colada in hand and when you get too toasty under the Sin City sun, this goddess-like dress magically transforms into a skirt.  Which is perfect for baring your patriotic striped bikini that’s hidden underneath!

• Steve Madden, Turnpyke, $90
