This past weekend I went to Lake Tahoe with my Mom to see the Saks Fifth Avenue presents Oscar de la Renta resort 2015 benefit for the League to Save Lake Tahoe. You can read about the event here. It was a fun and relaxing weekend getaway; and it was fun to take a trip with my Mom! We both figured out that we have not traveled alone, just the two of us, since I was in college! Although I missed my husband and three beautiful children dearly, it was nice to take a break and hang out with Mom.

I love earrings with unique details and which are able to stand out from my dark brown hair. These adorable earrings from jewelry designer Jenny Present are perfect since they offer a beautiful design with small sparkling details and the color contrasts nicely with my brunette hair.

I am very excited to have been introduced to Jenny Present and look forward to adding more jewelry pieces from her collection to my wardrobe in the future. I especially love the “Design Your Own” jewelry feature on Jenny Present’s website! You can make a special piece as a gift  or for yourself! Love that!

Jenny Present also has bridal jewelry which is perfect for the bride as well as her bridesmaids. Now those are beautiful bridal party gifts! 😉

My Jenny Present wish list is growing. I currently have my eyes on these earrings, this necklace and this fabulous bracelets.

A couple of week ago my family spent time with our friends at their lake house. It was a beautiful weekend with swimming, boating, fishing, jumping off rocks and more! Our kids had a lot of fun and we enjoyed spending time with our friends. 

Since we were on a lake, and one of our many activities was boating, I decided to go for a nautical look. This hat, which offers SPF protection, came in handy over the weekend and kept my face from being burned. The JCrew top I am wearing in these photos has also become a favorite of mine this summer. See how I styled it with a skirt here. The Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote I carried was perfect for storing towels, goggles for the kids, sunblock, and a sweatshirt just in case the weather changed.

Overall, the weekend was beautiful, fun and relaxing! I hope you have been able to get away this summer. What types of summer getaways do you enjoy?

Pictured: Earrings: Nordstrom (sold out, also love these) / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Petal” / Dress: Elie Tahari (sold out, also love this one) / Cuff: Vince Camuto / Nail Polish: c/o Dolce & Gabbana “Gaia” / Handbag: Chanel (also love SAVE or SPLURGE) / Shoes: SixtySeven / TOMS cuff shown with price tag, online here.

I wore this outfit to the TOMS event last Friday which was just as informative as it was fun! You can read more about it here. It was about 97 degrees outside, although my car said it was 101 degrees! I was so thankful the event was held in the shade 🙂 

When the weather is scorching, I love being able to wear a dress. This dress turned out to be light and airy which worked out well with the heat. I’m sad it is sold out, but thankfully Tahari has a similar style which I linked to above. 

The Vince Camuto cuff I wore to the event has quickly become a favorite of mine. It is comfortable and sleek; which is perfection in my book! I might have to go back and grab it in gold too!

I hope you have been able to escape from the heat wave we have been “enjoying.” To learn more about the TOMS event, please click here.
