The Summer I Turned Pretty Party | Season 3 Premier

If you have a teenage daughter, you most likely know about the show that makes us wish we lived on the East Coast every summer. A beautiful beach house, where hydrangeas are in full bloom, and teenage love takes center stage. Does Belly end up with Jeremiah or Conrad? Whatever brother you’re rooting for, those boys are sure to make the teenage girls hearts swoon as they watch. We are team Jeremiah, so all eyes are on him.

The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on Jenny Han’s book, is about to premier Season 3 on Amazon…which means it’s a great reason to throw a summer party. Invite your girlfriends, or host your daughters friends for the premier. If you miss it June 16, a new episode will post every week.

Here’s some of our favorite Cousin’s Beach finds, including an invite, which you can purchase and download here.

Closer look at the invite below.

Master’s-Inspired Fashion

It’s Master’s week. Master’s is one of the happiest weeks of the year for Jessica’s husband…and he’s not the only one. The tradition, the excellence, the beauty, the golf – all of it is loved and appreciated by men (and women) everywhere.

We’ve been inspired by the green in our wardrobe. Spring is the perfect time to invest in some green, whether you will be watching the Master’s this week or not. Check out the cute green options below.

If athletic cute is your vibe, this look is for you. Jessica is actually wearing it to the Master’s this year.

Christmas Gift Guide For Teen Girls

We’ve started shopping for Christmas. Many retailers are having Black Friday-ish sales right now, and we are trying to check off our long list of to do’s and people to buy for. We have more shopping lists headed your way, but for now, it’s all about the teen girls. We are blessed with a teen and tween girl, and they have been VERY vocal about what they are eyeing for Christmas this year.

Belt Bag, LuLu, $38: This belt bag is a teen and adult favorite. Just the right size for a phone, money, lip gloss, gum, etc. Great price point, too.

Ice flow, Stanley – We love our Stanley’s. This style is great for school, sports, etc. The Stanley’s with the straw are not ideal for travel with the straw, so this one comes in clutch when on-the-go.

Marshmallow blanket, $169 from Urban Outfitters – I can see teen girls using this all the time, plus its fun texture on the bed. Looks so cozy and fluffy just like a marshmallow.

Colorful pom pom beanie, North Face $32: If you ask us, a beanie is just not complete with the pom pom. This is a cute style. Several colors available.

FujiFilk Instax Mini Photo Printer, Amazon $100: Teens love their photos, and we seem to develop less and less photos. This is a fun way the teens can print their photos in-house and hang them to display. This light set comes with clips – cute room decor and perfect spot for all those photo memories.

Stuff bag, Amazon $12: Such a cute bag for all the little things.

Ugg Mini, Nordstrom $150: This is on my list, and my daughters, Nordstrom. They are a high-sell out risk, so best to gran now and return if you need later. Also, shop around other retailers if Nordy’s doesn’t have the one you’re looking for.

High rise boyfriend joggers, Gap $50 (extra 40% off right now, so run): I have these and love them. And…my daughter steals them on a regular basis, which means it is teen-approved.

Bear Hug Sherpa Jacket, $35 (on sale from $60): This is so cozy, and on it’s SALE!! Teens will wear this all the time. We may add one to our list as well. Cozy every day, all day for us.

High rise relaxed jean, Abercrombie $90: High-rise relaxed or wide leg jeans are the look right now. We like these because there are no holes, so they can be worn more places. Abercrombie often has sales for jeans, so we will look out for that.

Rare beauty liquid blush, Sephora $24 – Teen girls are into this. I love my blush stick, so I’ll stick with that for now. But the girls are into Selena Gomez blush at the moment. Good price point, and an great stocking stuffer.

Laneige lip butter – Yep, just like the name, it feels like butter on your lips. Grapefruit is our favorite scent. There’s not much color, just good shine.

Sol de Janeiro perfume, Sephora – This scent is my daughter’s favorite. You can get all the products in this limited edition kit, which is $42 ($60 value)

Disco Ball Diffuser, Amazon $30: We love our diffusers and use them daily. Teens will love the twinkle of the disco ball. Plus, they can bring a little Taylor Swift mirrorball vibes into their bedroom, while breathing in Lavender, or any beneficial essential oils.

Heart Hands, Amazon $25: If you have a swiftie fan this is a bonus because this is one of her things, and girls can wrap their bracelets around the base of the hands + plus it serves as cute room decor.

Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour Movie Party Inspo

Taylor Swift came to town, and then left town…and our kids didn’t go to the concert. We tried to buy tickets, but we were waitlisted, and tears were shed by our teenage girls. I have no doubt our girls will continue to dream big, and hope that one day she will come to town again. Until then, listening to T. Swift on our home speakers is good enough…and also enough to drive our boys crazy. 🙂

Our girls are thrilled about experiencing a glimpse of concert magic with the movie coming to theaters Oct. 2023. We are going to celebrate with a Swiftie party – bracelets, dinner, dancing and singing to all the era music, followed by a drive to the theater for The Era Movie. We will be sure to share photos. Here’s some inspo for our T. Swift party, so you can use some of it to create your own.

Swiftie Party Decor

Swiftie Goody Bags

  • Colorful, flat clay beads. A main party activity is the bracelet making, but if your in a rush, or don’t plan to make beads, you can always buy a pre-made pack of bracelets and add to the bag.
  • Resealable bag – we made ours, and plan on posting to Etsy ASAP. Please email us at hello@jsorelle.com if you want to order some in the meantime. We have the following bags, meet me at midnight, in my Taylor era, I can still make the whole place shimmer, and fearless (photos below)
  • Heart-shaped sunglasses
  • Vintage postcards – these can also be used for decor on the wall or table
  • Blue under eye mask
  • Pink, under eye mask
  • Tickets – we made our own (see below). If you want the file, grab here.

These ideas don’t just work for a movie premier, but also for any Taylor Swift-themed party or sleepover. You will be sure to make the whole party shimmer!
