Favorite Finds by Everything Evelyne

By: Evelyne Marks

Evelyne’s “Savoring the Last of Summer” Finds:

 As we start to say goodbye to long beach days and ease into cozy sunsets, there’s nothing like a beautiful fragrance to help you transition into the next season. One of my current go-to favorites is the Born in Roma Donna Extradose Parfum by Valentino Beauty. It’s a dreamy floral and amber scent with rich hints of vanilla, blackcurrant and rum — seriously, it smells divine.

 And don’t forget the special man in your life! The Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Parfum is a warm, irresistible blend of vanilla, lavandin and vetiver. With it's rich, masculine notes, it’s the perfect “just because” surprise.

Island Escapes & OC Staycations

Sometimes you just need to press pause and get out of the OC — and that’s exactly what I did with a recent trip to Hawaii. It was beautiful: refreshing, grounding and full of inspiration.

But when I want to stay close to home and still feel like I’m worlds away, Pelican Hill is my go-to escape. Perched upon 504 acres of unrivaled coastal beauty in Newport Beach, Pelican Hill is a sanctuary of seclusion. It’s perfect for a romantic staycation or a family weekend retreat. I always come back feeling rested and in love with our little corner of California all over again.

 I love how Newport Beach Living Magazine always shines a spotlight on fun getaways and local gems — whether you’re jet-setting or staying close to home, they’ve got you covered.

Dinner Dates & Forever Friendships

 If you’re staying local and want a dinner spot that feels like a getaway in itself, A Restaurant in Long Beach is a total vibe. Jeff and I recently met up with some of our besties, Ron and his amazing fiancée Sylvia and it was a night to remember. Jeff’s known Ron for over 30 years, and Sylvia is his perfect match — we love them so much!

 I wore my favorite Alice and Olivia tunic (on repeat lately!), paired with white shorts and some gold kitten heels. (Discover this style and more of my looks here: www.linktr.ee/everythingevelyne.) If you haven’t been to A Restaurant yet, here’s your sign. The food, the ambiance, the company — chef’s kiss.

 As we soak up the last golden moments of summer and prepare to welcome the cozy charm of fall, I hope you find time to treat yourself — whether it’s with a new fragrance, a spontaneous trip, or a fabulous dinner with friends.

With Love,
