The Olympics gave the nod toward wearing patriotic colors and various sporty fashion trends as we rooted for Team USA, but athletic-inspired fashion hasn’t run its full course, pun intended. Get ready for yet another summer sporting event fave, the US Open, with the Grand Slam Priti Nail Kit to further foster your spirit.
Using existing colors from their permanent collection, Priti has created hues to embody the glorified courts of this tennis championship: Miss Jeckyl for the US and Australian Open’s blue courts, Barbarossa for the French Open’s signature clay courts, and White Ballet Dahlia and Peporomia Pixie for Wimbledon’s all white dress code amongst grassy green courts.
The collection is available at www.pritinyc.com, and the full kit costs $37.50 (ndividual polishes retail for $12.50). Show your support for the fourth and final tennis major with polishes bound to be an ace!

Love the scent of clean laundry? Downy has ingeniously taken it one step further with the creation of Downy Infusions, a liquid fabric softener previously known as Downy Simple Pleasures, available in six luxurious scents: Honey Flower, Lavender Serenity, Orchid Allure, Spice Blossom, Citrus Spice, and Sage Jasmine. I recommend treating your linens to one spectacular scent, and wash your delicates in another. Pair the new scent of Downy Unstopables Beads in Shimmer with it’s mate — the Honey Flower from the Infusions line for extra longevity and lasting power, up until your next wash!

Leaving with some samples in tow, I can’t wait to do my laundry and test them out; I think that is certainly a first!

Maxi dresses have been a fashion trend for quite some time. They’re cool and effortless and a great way to beat the summer heat. However as with any fashion trend, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. While the timeless style of a maxi is unbeatable, sometimes it’s necessary to shake things up a little.
