Summer is officially here! Despite it already being stiflingly hot in the sunshine state, I’m welcoming this lazy, hazy season with open arms and C and I are on a mission to make the most of it. We kicked it off two weeks ago with an overnight stay in Treasure Island to meet up with friends for a day at the beach. I booked a last-minute suite at the new boutique Treasure Island Beach Resort, which is officially my new favorite destination; 10/10 would recommend if you want to splurge on a luxe oceanfront hotel for a relaxing weekend.

The delicious gourmet burger concoctions in their restaurant, BRGR, are almost enough to justify the trip: after nearly 4 hours of beach volleyball, my husband took down a monstrosity of a cheeseburger covered in crispy onions, bacon and a fried egg; I polished off a black-and-blue burger with a big side of fries. Sun-soaked and food-coma’d, we passed out in our suite at 7pm, and it was glorious.

Now that we’ve documented that epic sandwich for posterity, let’s get to the things I loved around the web last week!

I bought this multi-tasking clean beauty lip and cheek color* in ‘spell’ after seeing @makeupblake use it in an Instagram tutorial, and it’s one of my favorite beauty buys of the last several months.

I finally watched the first season of Killing Eve on Hulu and loved it. I’m also really into the soundtrack on Spotify; here’s an interesting look at how the soundtrack was made and why music is an integral part of the series.

I think I’m on board with this linen-pajamas-as-summer-daywear theory.
