Sippin Saturdays ~ Rock the Last Bikinis of Summer

It's almost official. Next weekend pretty much closes the door on summer and although we have transitioned into fall for the most part on this site, we realize that we can still squeeze out some more summer looks on a case by case basis! This weekend I have been soaking up some much needed sun as most of my summer has been spent traveling. I am obsessed with Vitamin A which has amazing swimsuits (how cute is the model in their campaign) and of course in typical style around Kitten Lounge, it's all about the accessories which can be worn with a number of other looks.

I am not a Prada girl when it comes to their handbags, but I love the shoes and these platform wedges are super cute and have that great aged look. I also love the ombre bag by Yves Saint Laurent which can be worn well into the fall. This is so luxe (imagine it with a fab pair of skinny jeans, booties and large sunglasses) and can fit a number of my items that I bring with me - this screams jetset. I am obsessed with the Tiffany & Co Keys - I love large keys and it makes a fab statement when you're out and about wearing it. I feel that every season, I always feel a little bittersweet at the end of the summer - the days of hanging out on rooftops with perfect weather get less and less, the madness of Fashion Week is only days away, my birthday is on the 12th of next month and yet I'm always excited to begin a number of projects that are focused on the fall and the summer. Because of that, I always get a signature accessory at the end of the summer which bridges into my fall wardrobe. It's a way of keeping a bit of an amazing time with me while I go forward! The key is just a sentimental and huge symbol for me that this is one that I would love to have to remind me of the significance of summer 2010 (all the press trips, becoming a Crest Spokesmodel/Ambassador and so many items that I will begin to share as we roll out over the next few weeks)!

The reality is that as long as the weather feels amazing and we can continue to wear flip flops then the summer continues on if only in our minds! Follow the #KL31BdayStar picks for our essentials for fall and what's on my birthday list!

Wearable Wednesdays: Buckle Up

You should always Buckle Up! Whether you're in the car or out and about - but how? Well the best thing to do is to visit Bucklette which knows how to make sure that you're buckled and that all the things that you need are right on you! We've all had times when we wanted to leave the house to go to a party, an event, down the street and more! Sometimes you don't want to bring a bag - no matter how big it is or that you don't want to have large pockets trying to put items in there. The Bucklette takes these decisions off the table by creating a case that can be clipped on and then placed on a belt. These cases hold money, your key, ID and even your lipgloss! You know that everything is safe and that you can dance, hold a drink or even enjoy fireworks without having a bulky companion!

Trendy Thursdays: THINK CITRUS ~ Who Gets Your Approval

Sealofapprovalclutch
The other day I got a link from someone showing the cutest purses available at Anthropologie and totally affordable as well! Known as the Seal of Approval Clutch, this is definitely a must that should be in your closet. I love that they only cost $68 and you can get in the fuchsia or the orange. These are so cute and what a great way to make sure that you have the simplest bag that can incorporate so many elements: great style, KiDS (Keys, ID and Cash) and lip gloss as well. This is perfect to carry in your hand and to ensure that you won't look like you're holding a lot while you dance. The wooden oval is definitely my favorite part of this bag as well (the raffia is super cute as well).

Take some time to visit the site and make sure that you pick up some other cute finds from this site as well!
