What’s a girl to do when her one of her favorite brands calls her up and invites her to join them in Southamptons for the day?

Well, if that girl happens to be me, and that brand happens to be C. Wonder, then you frantically pack your overnight bags and hop aboard the next flight to NYC.  And that’s exactly what I got to do this past weekend.

C. Wonder, who’s mission is to deliver brightness to every corner of life, is a lifestyle brand that offers a diverse assortment of beautiful, versatile, and spirited products, from clothing, to accessories, to home decor, that pairs timeless design elements with fresh twists, such as unexpected color combinations and patterned linings. I originally fell in love with C. Wonder during a past trip to New York City for fashion week, and since that magical, maiden introduction, no trip to Manhattan has been complete without a a couple bucks spent shopping the exquisite shop, with my personal favorite location being the one at Columbus Circle!

This summer, C. Wonder is now offering a taste of their brand to the summering residents of Southampton, and to celebrate this new pop-up shop opening, they invited several bloggers, editors, and tastemakers out to their founder, Chris Burch’s (yes, that Burch), remarkable home. We were welcomed with 2 retro-wrapped automobiles from his 13-piece mini car collection, followed by a lavish home tour, a round of croquet on the lawn, and a tasty seaside-themed lunch and s’mores for dessert.

And what better way to work off our meal than with a power shopping trip to the Southampton store?! Of course, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to indulge in some C.Wonder goodies to take back to the Lone Star State, and naturally, I checked off some gift lists for Mama Kerr and my besties, too.

Love C.Wonder as much as I do, but aren’t able to visit one of their 19 stores? Don’t fret.  You can shop their collection online here!

Ready or not, here the heat comes! Dallas weather is on the cusp of “miserable heat,” which means gals are cleaning out the closets, moving the leather and the fur to the back, and filling empty space with shorts, linen, white jeans, and wedges.

Yes, ladies….’Tis the season: SHORTS SEASON.

So go get your spray tan, shave those legs, do a couple extra lunges, and find the sassiest wedges you can….because as the temperatures continue to rise, well, so do the hemlines ;)

PS. My friend Hunter Bell (who designed the shirt I am wearing in today’s post, as well as that insane aztec jumpsuit I wore a couple weeks ago) recently won NBC’s “Fashion Star” last week! Be sure to check out her new collections at Saks Fifth Avenue, Express, and Macy’s!

7FAM Floral Jeans & Nikki Reed

One of the coolest perks of getting to co-host “D: The Broadcast” every morning is that I get to meet some pretty legit folks….Enter: Nikki Reed.

You probably most likely remember her from the “Twilight” saga where she played opposite the likes of Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, and Kellan Lutz as a member of the blood-sucking Cullen family.  Or you might also know that she has an album and is married to fellow musician and “American Idol” contestant, Paul McDonald.

But did you know that this accomplished actress can now add jewelry designer to her resume? Miss Reed has recently launched a 5 piece collection for 7 For All Mankind, which was inspired by the denim lines’ current collection.  Nikki, who told me that she loves the personal storytelling that comes along with jewelry, wanted the price point to stay fairly inexpensive so it could be accessible to any range of customers.  The collection starts at $48 and no piece costs more than $80….stylish and wallet friendly?! Sounds like Nikki is a woman after my own heart!

ps. You can see the whole interview on “D: The Broadcast” early next week.
