Summer. Is. Here. This means getting your girlies together the moment the clock strikes 5 o’clock and gallivanting down 5th avenue to the rooftop of the Peninsula Hotel to sip (chug) rosé and catch the eff up. It also calls for frequent spur of the moment photoshoots, which in my Mary Poppins of a bag, I most “randomly” happen to carry my new favorite hair accessory (and summer’s hottest), the floral hair crown. Love Cult Gaia’s version.

When it comes to your beauty look, you truly want to go as natural as possible, (a face full of makeup would be overkill), especially for outside affairs or when you are wearing something as fabulous as the floral crown. The perfect accessory to compliment this look is the red lip of course. My fav red lippie of the moment is Lipstick Queen’s Sinner Deep Red. What I like about this color is that there is no shimmer or frosting…its pure matte AMAZINGNESS. Its the ultimate in full-coverage with 90% pigment and this creamy, long lasting, and moisturizing formula comes in a wide variety of colors, so there is literally something for everyone. This particular color is perfect Natalie because she is fair skinned and a true blond, making the effect oh so MAJ. 

Natalie was shot on the rooftop of the Peninsula Hotel wearing a Thakoon dress, of course.
