With this being the last weekend of summer (gahhh)

With this being the last weekend of summer (gahhh), I can’t help but reflect on the joy of outdoor dining we’ve had here in NYC!! I never want it to end 🤗. Just this past week, my dear @laredo_photographer and I were invited to experience @odo.nyc’s new Japanese Western outdoor dining menu by Michelin-starred chef Hiroki Odo, and boy did they deliver!! We tasted our way through 6 (possibly more 😂) courses and finished with the most delicious Sake🍦!! Swipe to see how our evening progressed from demure photo op to downright belly-full lol. As per usual, we laughed and ate for hours. Thank you so very much to the lovely #odonyc team for having us and do check them out and support our glorious restaurant industry here in New York!! All my love xx MM

So much fun illustrating for @GiorgioArmani this past weekend at their East Hampton pop-up boutique 👯‍♀️✨🤩!!

My loves, I'm SO elated to share with you the very special limited edition💄💋 pouch design I created for the press launch of @CoverFX's Monochromatic Lip Color!! This is their first-ever lip color product and was designed to match their 6 bestselling Monochromatic Blush Duos. It is ultra-pigmented for high-impact color in a single swipe, and has moisturizing Vitamin E and C to nourish your lips with a soft, velvety feel. My lip pouch was created exclusively for the launch to be seeded with influencers & editors so it is *not* available to purchase, but all 6 shades of the lip color range are available now on coverfx.com and will be on ulta.com on 9/8!! Tap the 🛍 tag or head on over to @CoverFX for more!! Lots of love xx MM 📸 @laredo_photographer

My favourite summer 2020 accessory?! My MASK 🤩😷👯‍♀️!! Nothing says I care about my life, my loved ones, and my fellow humans more than wearing this lil friend everyday out here in New York. And though I rarely post outfit photos on my feed, I felt it was especially important to show my support in wearing one. I hate to reiterate the point that this isn’t over but...it isn’t!! Let’s all do our part. And while I have your attention, which summer “lewk” is your favorite? 1, 2, 3, or 4?! #wearamask #weareinthistogether
