chill new experiences on balmy days. We’ve taken inspiration from stunning sunsets, Moroccan architectural geometries and dynamic lines that create movement to move our adventures forward.

And Style Gets Social this season as we continue our adventures deeper into ultra-cool Brooklyn, NY. Breezy silhouettes, soft hues and bare shoulders have inspired us to indulge in gorgeous local sites and sweet sundaes.

fringes and stripes. The silhouettes are relaxed and soirée-ready for parties that

heat up as the sun goes down.

Stay neutral while making a statement.

To stain lips with a wash of bright color, use Revlon ColorBurst in Juicy Papaya mixed with NARS Sheer Lipstick in Manhunt. The two textures create a natural finish that is bold but grounded.

Swipe on your go-to blush for very subtle contour that adds a healthy, glowing-from-within flush to sun-tanned cheeks.

Brighten up the eyes with warm neutral shades that have a hint of glossy sheen. Use a gel eyeshadow formula to capture the nuances of Summer sunshine over your lids as you go through the day.

Next, use the YSL Effet Faux Cils Shocking Felt-Tip Eyeliner to draw a thin, sleek line that hugs the upper lash line. This defines the eyes while staying natural.

No visit to Brooklyn is complete without a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and a visit to The River Café. Experience the world-famous pizza at Grimaldi’s, and then go for a whirl at Jane’s Carousel. Be sure to pack a picnic and a cozy blanket for outdoor screenings of film classics in Dumbo’s Brooklyn Bridge Park.

In three words: beaches, boardwalks and rides. For the brave of heart, the wooden Cyclone roller coaster is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. For a uniquely festive experience, check out the Mermaid Parade that marks the start of the Summer season and features a medley of mermaids and sea creatures.

Prospect Park is one of Brooklyn’s most beautiful and iconic settings. The best time to visit? During the annual Celebrate Brooklyn! outdoor performing arts festival. From internationally acclaimed musicians performing at the park’s Bandshell, to emerging cutting-edge artists, Celebrate Brooklyn! is a cultural attraction not to miss.

Wander into this white-washed, French-inspired haven in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and be transported. Indulge in macarons in a breathtaking array of flavors and colors. Catch up with a friend over fresh-brewed coffee or breeze in for an amazing gelato.

Experience nature in the middle of Brooklyn. Get lost amidst the specialty “gardens within the Garden.” Get transported in the breathtaking Steinhardt Conservatory – a peaceful oasis of verdant leaves and colorful flora that bloom in full splendor. Climate-themed pavilions transport us from the desert to the tropics.

FAVORITE VACATION SPOT .

Missy: Birmingham, AL. Emily: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii and moved back to my parents’ hometown of Birmingham, AL at a year old.

Missy: Classic with a twist.Emily: I don’t really have a style. I really feel most comfortable in leggings and a flowy top or fun jacket. Also, I’m such a shoe freak. Love shoes!

Missy: I love clothes, but hate to shop. So W by Worth was a no-brainier to make my life easier. I met Winn Crockard in the nail salon and she asked me if I was interested. I said, “sure, I’ll try it.” Eleven years later, minus a brief hiatus, I’m still here!Emily: Missy Cox recruited me to help her sell. I thought going to someone’s home to buy clothes was the strangest thing I had ever heard of. I started because I needed extra money because I had two babies and needed to have some fun money. That was 10 years ago. WOW.

Emily: Missy was on her own for a couple of years: then I came aboard in 2006! She then took a few years off, but came back and now sells with me. She also takes on regional recruiting as a Director of Business Development. My focus is just on sales, which is the piece of business I love most. Our different interests and strengths give us the perfect balance for a successful business.

Missy: Emily and I are both laid back but also very goal-oriented. We like to challenge ourselves, but it’s always fun. Emily: I guess it works because she is super organized and she’s all about the technical side of commerce. I wish I lived in Downton Abbey days; I’m such an old-fashioned girl and love the social aspect. We are opposites in a lot of ways but the same in many, too. I have known Missy since the third grade. We used to play at each other’s houses in grade school.

Missy: Keep it simple - heavy cocktails, light hors d’oeuvres :) Emily: Invite fun people.

Missy: The Worth 25th Anniversary meeting in NYC. I love getting together with all my friends from across the country.Emily: Going to NYC.

Missy: Beaver Creek, CO with my family.Emily: Italy or Greece.

I have fresh flowers in the entry hall, kitchen, bar and guest bath. I prefer to have evening parties so I can light every candle in the house and set the tone for achic gathering.

D R E S S C O D E

Some of my parties come to life because I find the perfect hostess dress. Entertaining at home gives me permission to wear something long, whether it be a casual maxi dress, or a full length skirt with espadrilles, or a pair of palazzo pants! I love the drama of it. Sometimes I’ll wear shorts with a dressy blouse and wedge sandals, but I personally can’t wait to put on the striped sheath dress from Summer 2016.

T H I R S T Q U E N C H E R SEven in the Summer I like to have most of the party set up inside the house with the food on my marble island in the kitchen and a full bar. Our guests know that we will always offer champagne (a must!), cocktails and martinis.

S E A S O N ’ S E A T I N G SSummer is the perfect time to have a cold seafood platter, which is an impressive and effortless hostess trick. Everything is fresh and delicious and easy! For a 4th of July party last Summer, I served oysters on a galvanized steel two-tier star shaped platter. It was so fun and apropos. I also had a huge bowl of shrimp cocktail (always a crowd pleaser) with an over-abundance of sliced lemons for a bold dose of bright color. And, of course, no party is complete without a classic tray of smoked salmon with capers and a big bowl of ceviche.

President of W by Worth, Courtney Denby, indulges us in a few of her chic Summer hostess insights as soirée season begins: “I love to entertain in the Summer because it is less expected than during the Winter holiday season.”
