I love summer traditions: Friday mornings spent packing the car for theweekend trip to the lake. 4th of July floating under the fireworks, peachpies and summer BBQs in the backyard....

Jason Wu for the afternoon party, Fendi for the traditional celebration, andAlberta Ferretti for the Black Tie event [as seen above].
