Jennifer Lopez Kicked Off Her 55th Birthday Weekend In The Chicest Summer Set

It’s that more-or-less midway point of summer that starts to feel like Groundhog’s Day — with so long to go until fall, a serious refresh is more that necessary. There are all the standard sorts of jumpstarts you can make to get reinvigorated for the long, hot weeks ahead (a closet clean-out comes to mind), but really, it’s the small things that can make the biggest difference. Experiment with the crocodile nail trend at your next salon visit, grab a new matching set outfit for an upcoming night out, or indulge in a retro moment with the season’s top throwback hair accessory. If your summer slump up is significant, consider taking a page out of J.Lo’s book and throw a party based on your favorite streaming series — an excuse to dress up, host friends, and get some fresh Instagram pictures while you’re at it.
