Smirnoff Sorbet Soiree

My NYC summer officially started when heat and humidity struck Tuesday night.  Luckily, I was fortunate enough to kick the season off with cool comfort courtesy of Smirnoff Sorbet.  My fellow Glam trendsetters and I were lucky enough to spend the evening chilling down with cocktails in the theme of my favorite flavors of pomegranate, citrus and mango. 

The much needed ladies night out included posh manicures and pedicures at TenOverTen lounge in Tribeca.  As I observed the room, hot and bright pinks were the clear favorite among the crowd.  I myself chose Chanel’s 541 Tentation to brighten up my night.  A tarot card reader was on hand to dish out your fortune and a massage therapist worked out the knots of a long day.  If you needed to glam yourself further, two make-up artists were ready to give you a makeover.

A sushi chef prepared healthy nibbles (delicious) while actual sorbet was offered by a cute server.  Alas, the Smirnoff did not make it into the actual dessert.  However, the icy treat did complement the libations perfectly. 

Relaxing with my Glam blogging sisters was like a broadcast of summer trends to come.  My girls were wearing stripes or bright colors.  They paired simple, warm weather shorts and flirty dresses with chunky statement necklaces and rings to upgrade their look.  Of course, enjoying a summer night with the perfect cocktail is never out of style.

Your Most Stylish NYC Summer Ever

Has winter finally left? As we inch towards Memorial Day weekend, I am lining up my plans for the months to come.  I had a crappy winter, so my resolution is to enjoy summer in my city in style.

I am looking forward to bunch of nights out with my girls.  The first one is courtesy of Smirnoff Sorbet next week.  I can’t imagine a better way to expose my toes in summer appropriate footwear than a pedicure and massage.  New York City has become an expert at offering up combo spa/lounge/nightlife destinations for the woman who wants the full package and has no time… TenOverTen is the one I’ll be checking out next week.  I’ll let you know how it measures up!  

I plan on chic weekends by the beach.  I have a few dates already set to head east to the end of Long Island. I start by shopping for pretty things along Main Street in East Hampton.  Catherine Malandrino, Tory Burch and Calypso are my go-to shops for colorful style.  My go-to lunch stops are Levain bakery and the Seafood shop in Wainscott.  I end the day curling up with Hubby and a bottle of wine on a quite beach in Amagansett to watch the sunset.

 In between weekends, there are of course the warm days in between.  Luckily, New York keeps the staycation vibe going with tons of free concerts, movies and cultural events.  Bryant Park is host to much of the fashion crowd with their film series on Monday nights.  It has become one big gourmet picnic for my colleagues and me over the years.

 If you need to chill, there are fashion related exhibits in the air conditioned buildings of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (check out Punk: Chaos to Couture) and the Museum at FIT (RetroSpective opens next Wednesday).   Don’t forget museum parties… The MOMA opens late on Thursdays with live music starting July, The Met has a martini bar on their rooftop garden and the Rubin Museum turns into the K2 lounge with tapas, culture and cocktails on Friday nights.
