We haven’t been to the races in years, but this hat makes me wish I went to opening day! I fell in love with floppy hats a few years ago and this is my new favorite. They really make an otherwise simple outfit look a little more glam (if you ask me). Now duck lip poses on the other hand….not so much. But I had to include the pic anyways.

P.S. I was featured on Arash Mazinani’s blog this weekend. I hope you will stop by and check it out!

I have been DYING to officially introduce you guys to Golden Tote. Ever since I was a little girl, I have been OBSESSED with grab bags. I don’t even remember the first time I bought one but I will NEVER forget how excited I was to open my bag to see what treasures I would find inside. And now as an adult, not much has changed. That’s where Golden Tote comes in. Here’s how it works:

I received the $149 bag and got to choose two items that I loved from their boutique. Then they surprised me with FIVE more items. I thought for sure there was no way I would actually like each piece that I received but I was seriously BLOWN away. I liked EVERY piece I got. The white dress I am wearing in the first pic was one of the items I chose, but this top was a surprise item. I mean….CUTE, right? Golden Tote is NOT a monthly subscription service so you can buy the one item bag (and get 2-3 pieces) OR the two item bag (and get 6-7 items) and see how you like it! But if you’re anything like me, you will be ITCHING to get another tote! All you have to do is fill out a quick & easy profile Q&A and about a week or so later, you will get your tote. And on top of the cute clothes, the tote is adorable too. Stay tuned for more outfit posts featuring my Golden Tote items.

OK, I think this might be my favorite Birchbox ever! Have I said that before? Well, this time I REEEEEAAALLY mean it. =) Also, I have had a ton of people ask me what I have listed on my profile because they want the same box as me. I am listing my profile answers at the bottom of this post in case you want to change yours or decide to subscribe and want to do the same. I do not know if this will get you the same box or not because I think they have 10 varieties of boxes that go out each month. But it’s worth a shot! =) Here is what I got in my June Birchbox:

Kérastase Masque Chroma Captive-Treatment: The heavy-duty mask deeply penetrates the hair shaft to enhance shine and luster. Zinc ionic technology strengthens bonds between coloring agents to boost vibrancy and lock color within the hair fiber, while water-repelling flax derivatives polish and smooth for increased shine and light reflection. Vitamin E and UV filters combat oxidation and sun damage, which further preserve color.

Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream: A moisturizing base of omega-rich squalene, organic shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil protects against the redness and irritation associated with shaving, while organic green tea extracts infuse skin with antioxidants.

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow!: Benefit’s exclusive Oxygen Wow Hydrating Complex helps increase cellular respiration, providing a youth-enhancing, plumping effect. Meanwhile, vitamins C & E help fight the signs of aging. The oil-free formula delivers broad-spectrum SPF 25 protection, while diffusing light for all-day radiance.

Birchbox Bobby Pins: Snag-free enamel and a slight upward bend at the tip helps these bobby pins slide easily over strands.

Color Club® Wanderlust Collection Nail Polish in “Pardon my French”: Each color is named after one of Birchbox’s international headquarters: Barcelona, London, New York, and Paris. London Calling, a sunny green, makes us think of the city’s myriad green spaces, while the fiery coral of Reign in Spain evokes summer days under the Mediterranean sun. Pardon My French’s lavender represents our love affair with the candy-colored arrays of macarons in the City of Light’s iconic bakeries. Finally, there’s Mod in Manhattan, a brilliant off-white that represents the glow of the mega-watt city at night.

PROFILE ANSWERS: Dedicated Enthusiast, Nail Polishes, Not my favorite, Products for a busy mom, SAMPLES SAMPLES SAMPLES, Adventurous/Classic/Trendy, Normal, Blonde, Color Treat/Curl/Blow Dry/Straighten, Caucasian, Light, Combo, Acne/Aging/Dark Spots/Dark Circles/Sensitivity/Sun Protection.

When I had my Crocs summer party, I sent all of my friends home with new Crocs. My girlfriend Angela chose these wedges in this linen “oat” color and after seeing them on her, I had to add them to my collection. I originally wanted the parrot green color but figured these will be more versatile. Oh, and you can see how I wore the flamingo pink wedges in the promotional video we shot in Miami. Gosh, that seems like FOREVER ago!

Hope you guys have a great weekend!
