Alexa’s Five Fav Things

Dive into warmer weather with our newest list of five fav things, courtesy of our Director of Brand, Alexa. Her five favs include an engrossing novel perfect for sunlit reading sessions, a freckle paint that delivers a sun-kissed glow, and other summer essentials. Here’s what she had to say:

---

1. 75 and Sunny Swimsuit -
   I absolutely love this swimsuit for summer. It comes in so many good colorways and I’m not sure how anyone can choose just one.

2. Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors -
   This novel is ideal for a lazy day spent reading in the sun. It’s so well written and reminds me of the TV show Modern Love or the book Normal People. It’s an authentic portrayal of an everyday relationship (the good and the bad) and is quite the love letter to NYC.

3. Salty Face Freckle Paint -
   This has been a go-to lately in my makeup routine + a little of this peachy pink Nars blush. It adds the perfect amount of “I’ve just been in Europe for a month” to the apples of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose.

4. Hot Honey Olives on a Bed of Whipped Feta -
   I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this recipe on Instagram during my daily browsing. Olives + feta + chili flakes = a drool-worthy recipe I can’t wait to serve as an appetizer the next time I host.

5. Havaianas Slim Square Flip Flop -
   If you haven’t heard, flip-flops are back! These particular flip-flops are perfect for a day at the beach or styled with a black mini skirt and summery top. So versatile and I love the added flair of the square toe.
