In my early ‘20s, I had a lucky top. It was ivory, sleeveless, had a lace bodice, cinched at the waist and then went peplum. I wore it to absolutely everything that required a little extra luck. I got it at some random boutique so could never replace it after it had turned a weird color after the zillionth wash. I’ve been looking for my new lucky charm ever since and think I found it with this off the shoulder yellow top. This cutie has gotten me through a first date, a job interview (granted it was for a stylist…
How often do you feel the urge to travel? I’m not sure if it’s the realization that Labor Day is right around the corner or that Summer Fridays are about to disappear and I never got that sunny tan, but I’m feeling desperately in search of an adventure. I’ve been devouring travel magazines and screenshotting my favorite globe trotters’ Instagrams even more than usual now that my wanderlust is at an all-time summer high. I want to run through lavender fields in Provence, dive off an over-the-water bungalow in Bora Bora, catch some rays under the pink umbrellas in Miami,…
When Grant Melton’s rosé alfredo recipe hit the web earlier this summer, I swear 10 of my friends sent it to immediately. Clearly, my friends know me well lol! I mean, we all know rosé is gooooood and pasta is gooooood, so put the two together and I’m like ABSO-F*ING-LUTELY.

I suggest modifying the recipe just a bit and not using as much salt and garlic as the recipe calls for—that’s all up to your personal preference though! I…
So I know in your closet, you have your white jeans, black jeans and jeans in every shade of blue but do you have pink jeans??? And we aren’t talking about subtle blush jeans. I want ‘em PINK, you know? A million years ago when I was young and in college, I spent a summer in London for a study abroad program. My friends and I went to Paris for a weekend (UGH I MISS COLLEGE) and we found this cute boutique that had a pair of pink jeans. I obviously was going to buy them and got my butt…
My bestie Erica and I have been throwing parties together since the early 2000s! Thankfully, we have graduated from our high school days of curfews, hiding alcohol in trash bags, etc. I run Brooke du jour Events and Erica works at Darlington Avenue with her amazingly talented sister, Alexis, so we knew we had to get our heads together and plan a fabulous summer event! After much deliberation over various theme ideas (we are suckers for a good theme!), we decided to go with a summer picnic at Will Roger’s Park in Pacific Palisades with 20 of our best lady…
