Summer is in full swing! And as always going by WAY too fast. Here are a few things I’ve been loving lately.
This super cute dress for summer weddings
I’ve been on the hunt for a cute solid colored dress to wear to a close friends wedding. I finally (finally!) found this dress and I couldn’t love it more. It’s very comfortable and for me I don’t need to wear a bra with it.
Some comfy heels
Also on the topic of weddings, I’ve been wanted a comfier pair of heels. I find the angle of some heels to be really comfortable for my feet but these have a platformed front. I haven’t worn these to a wedding (yet!) but when I tried them on I was shocked at how comfortable they are.
Colorescience tinted sunscreen
My dermatologist recommended this tinted sunscreen and it’s so perfect for those low-key makeup days (aka most days for me…) I’ve been using the medium shade which is great for summer when I’m a bit more tan. I’ll see if I want to drop down to the fair come fall.
The sunscreen provides just the right amount of coverage while also having SPF 50. Since it’s a sunscreen and not moisturizer I recommend using your favorite moisturizer first under it.
Lululemon sneakers
Did you know that Lululemon now has sneakers? I’ve been wearing these for HIIT-style fitness classes and they are perfect. I have some bunion related issues and found the soles of the foot to have enough support without feeling too bulky.
FYI: Lululemon offers a 30 day trial for you to test them out.
Greenwich Village Athletic Club
Speaking of HIIT-style classes, I recently joined Greenwich Village Athletic Club. My workouts have been mostly barre classes for a few years now, which I still love and take, but I’ve been wanting to switch things up a bit.
GVA is an interesting group fitness studio where you workout with the same people at the same time twice a week and then can sign up for additional classes and activities like a run club. There’s a big focus on socializing — people stick around after to chat and have coffee together.
It’s hard and different than what I’ve been doing lately but I’ve been really enjoying it.
The Bear on Hulu
I’m late to the party on this one, but finally started watching The Bear on Hulu. It’s about a very accomplished chef that goes back home to Chicago to run his family’s restaurant after his brother passes away. The writing is great and the acting is incredible. I highly recommend it.
the Barbie movie
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you to go see the Barbie movie… but it really is hilarious and brilliant.
A rooftop movie at Rooftop Cinema Club
A friend and I went to see Pretty Women at the Rooftop Cinema Club in midtown east. The whole experience was fantastic. The chairs are comfy, they give you headphones, and there’s something really dreamy about sitting on a rooftop overlooking NYC watching a movie. I hope to go back again soon!
