It’s no secret that looking your best makes you feel like your best which is why I believe it’s so important to stick to a simple grooming routine. And if you’re feeling a little fancy, you’ll be happy to know that Walmart now offers elevated products in beauty and grooming from top of the line brands and with the finest ingredients. If you don’t use a loofa or a washcloth, try a bar soap with gentle exfoliating beads to use once a week to get rid of any dead skin. Since I’m clean shaven I like to use a triple blade razor for a close shave along with a shaving gel for sensitive skin.

My recent visit to upstate New York with COS was the latter kind of getaway, and even though we were relatively close to home, all my worries and responsibilities felt a thousand miles away. A short car ride from New York City took us to Sloatsburg, NY where we stayed at the beautiful Valley Rock Inn. Now normally I’m all about clashing prints and bold colors, but something about disconnecting from the noise and buzz of the city and escaping into the calm surroundings of art and nature during the trip helped me to reappreciate simplicity in dressing. Monochromatic outfits in muted colors replaced my usual graphic ensembles and it was the textures of the fabric and silhouettes of the clothes themselves that took center stage over pattern and prints.

So I just got back from an amazing vacation in Nice, France and for the first time in a long time Spencer and I drank all the rosé, visited all the beaches, and even enjoyed a nice private yacht charter along the French Riviera! It was the sweetest romantic getaway and also the perfect opportunity to flex some summer vacay style! For those of you living up these last few days of summer, I’ve rounded up all the outfits from my trip so you can get some inspo and escape in style for your next summer getaway!

The shoe of the summer is here and it comes in the form of the new Nike Air Max 270 React. I’ve collected my fair share of Air Max’s over the years and also have a pair of React’s too, so seeing these two technologies come together in one standout sneaker was definitely a big win for Nike in my book. The bold new air unit takes the shoe to new heights in style and comfort, while the React foam midsole provides exceptional cushioning to keep you moving throughout your busy days. When it comes to styling my Air Max 270 React sneakers, I think it’s best to let the shoe be the focal point of the look.
