Memorial Day weekend must haves

Memorial Day is just around the corner and with it comes beach trips, picnics, and the start of barbecue season. From the mid-day drinking, the food, and massive amounts of sunshine right on down to the relaxed vibe, barbecues are the perfect answer to the stressed out social events that dot your calendar all year long. While you may be able to get away with wearing any old thing to your family gatherings, it takes a little more effort to look casually thrown together while beating the sweltering Atlanta heat at someone else’s home. Keep it semi-casual, no need to break out in hives over what actually constitutes semi-casual, and break out some of your cutest, color saturated spring/summer essentials once the invites begin rolling in.

Nothing says warm weather is here like bright colors, and no bright screams summer like lemony yellows. Try a citrus colored top or ankle length jean, like ones pictured, or add a hint of citron to your nails for a vibrant pop of color sure to brighten up your day, like Chanel’s Le Vernis in Mimosa available at Bloomingdales at Perimeter and Lenox Square. No matter what you wear, be sure to slather up with SPF and protect your peepers with a great pair of sunglasses, like the by Oliver Peoples available at Solstice in Lenox Square Mall, and enjoy your long weekend in style.
