1. What beauty product is most essential to your summer glow?
I’m really into Clarins Multi-Active Day Cream SPF 20. Not only does the radiance-boosting moisturizer protect me from the sun, but it contributes to my summer glow by hydrating my skin and targeting fine lines. It’s like a three-in-one! I keep one jar on my vanity and one in my purse for those busy summer days.
2. What are your top three ways to spend a summer day with Scout?
There are so many things we love to do together! One favorite is grabbing a treat. I’m a huge donut and ice cream fan, so London Scout and I love to scout the city for different ice cream stops we’ve never tried before. We also adore the Pop-Up Pool at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 2. It’s a pool that was created out of old shipping containers. They added sand, beach umbrellas, food, and music. It’s such a great place to go, and they even have karaoke at nights — score! Finally, Central Park is a classic. It’s an amazing place to visit in the summer. We regularly go to explore, play, and have picnics.
3. How would you describe your approach to summer style, and how would you describe Scout’s? Tell us your top three tried-and-true summer wardrobe staples.
I think comfort is key for both mom and kid. We both like the playground chic look, which means boyfriend jeans and a tee for me, and a cool pair of culottes for her. I’m a huge sneaker fan and tend to get us matching pairs because anything is cute in smaller sizes.
When it comes to my top three summer wardrobe staples, I’d have to pick cut-off shorts, a good leather jacket, and sunglasses. Sunnies are a necessity in any wardrobe. They hide tired eyes (parenting is amazing, but it can be exhausting) and they give everything an elevated look. I’m also a huge fan of cut-off shorts in the summer. You can wear them with sandals, heels, flats, or sneakers. The possibilities are endless. Finally, a good leather jacket is a must! They’re seasonless and give any outfit an amazing glam effect. I usually purchase summer leathers and wear them at night when it cools off.
