Memorial Weekend Prep

Before you head out for your Memorial Weekend getaway, whether you’re going upstate, the Hamptons, or Fire Island, make sure to check off our Minkette prep guide. Follow our relaxing steps below to put yourself at ease before the weekend festivities, then grab your Rebecca Minkoff Sunnies and enjoy!

#1. Relax! No need to freak out just yet….Get a soothing massage. 

  • Bliss Spa is one of our favorite relaxation spots with award winning massages.

#2. Put your best face forward…Get a facial.

  • John Barret Salon at Berdorf Goodman has a private treatment room where aestheticians analyze your skin then go to work. You will emerge with glowing skin, soothed muscles and the greatest sense of beauty.

#3. Fake it to make it… Get a spray tan.

  • Future Tan Salon and Spa not only gets you a base but provides lemon-scented towelettes, bottled water, tea lights, and vanilla diffusers for a calming effect.

#4. Take care of the small stuff…Get a mani/pedi.

  • TenOverTen makes the experience of getting a simple mani-pedi seem anything but.

Spotted: Sophia Bush Rocks Rebecca Minkoff

Sophia Bush always looks flawless on the red carpet. We love her patterned black dress with a mini front cut-out accessorized with the Rebecca Minkoff Fling Clutch. The clutch is a perfect combination of elegance with a touch of edge – thanks to the gold studs.

Something Neon

Arielle of Something Navy is embracing the spring/summer wardrobe transition in a sweater/shorts number that mixes neon brights with black and white florals – one of our favorite looks for summer. The combination of the Rebecca Minkoff Sunset V-Neck Sweater in neon yellow with trending floral shorts and ombre pumps is a daring pattern mix that this style maven so perfectly pulls off. We’ll definitely be stealing tips from this ensemble for our Memorial Day style!

Minkette Beauty: Memorial Day Mani

It’s time to celebrate Memorial Weekend, and nothing says vacation like a fun manicure. We fell in LOVE with a beach ball inspired nail tutorial we found in College Fashion by Samantha, a Georgetown University student. Check out the easy steps below and have fun away this weekend!
Materials:
  • Base coat and top coat
  • White, red, blue and yellow nail polish
  • Eyeliner brush
  • Small rhinestones

Directions:

  1. Put on the base coat.
  2. Paint your entire nail white and let dry for a few minutes before moving on.
  3. Take one of the three colors and make a dot in the middle of your nail.
  4. Put some polish on the side of your eyeliner brush and gently drag it in a even stroke from the middle of your nail to the outside, to outline the first triangle. (You could also use scotch tape and a normal brush for really precise lines.) Once you have the outline, it will be easy to fill in with the regular polish brush.
  5. Repeat step four with all three colors, leaving white triangles between each; think of making six even slices of pie, three white and three in color. This can also be a little tricky, so more on that later!
  6. After making the last triangle, put a dab of polish in the center where the three triangles meet, and place a rhinestone there to mimic the circle that’s on the top and bottom of beach balls.
  7. Repeat on all of your nails, then apply a top coat to seal the rhinestones on and make the design last!

Thursday Night Hot Spot: Jack’s Wife Freda

Meet Jack’s Wife Freda - the spiffy new Soho café where husband and wife owners have drawn on their New York restaurant backgrounds and their family histories to bring appealing new flavor to an urban archetype. Dean Jankelowitz and his wife, Maya, met while working at Balthazar and have now created an amazing hangout with style and savvy all-day service. The food is an interesting collection of culturally specific dishes from different parts of the world, many of which will be familiar to those who know Middle Eastern or Israeli cooking. Hurry Minkettes, you will love it.
