WHITE HOT WAYS to SAY HELLO SUMMER


When the heat is on, keep your style in check with a few simple style savers that will have you looking your absolute best all season long.

BE VERSATILE:  Summer days can vary and so can the way you spend them.  One easy-to-style piece can effortlessly take you from business lunch to a beach day luxe.  This bold blue standout by Gap pairs perfectly with a striped blazer and sleek clutch for the workday.  On the weekend the same silhouette glides right over your two-piece, as it and your favorite pair of flip flops take you to the beach.  Still want another option?  Grab your favorite oxford blouse and belt it over this three-in-one dress and you're ready for a Saturday stroll through the shops.

TAKE COVER:  Spending a lazy day at the pool?  Don't forget to take along a pretty little cover up.  There's really nothing quite as glamorous as lounging poolside with a great pair of sunnies, a sleek headband and a terrific coverup.  Oh so glam.  This colorful striped design by Roxy is a perfect choice.

WHITE NOW:  With Memorial Day behind us, we've all welcomed back our warm weather whites.  When in doubt, it is the color to wear.  Always chic, whether paired with its contrasting hue of black or used to play up bright and colorful prints and patterns.  White is always right, not to mention the simplest wardrobe way to stay cool.

BE SWEPT AWAY:  Long to medium hair simply begs to be swept up during hot, sultry spells.  Take advantage of this style opportunity by tying on a top knot or sporting a messy bun.  Simply perfect.

FANCY FEET:  We all know the love story between a girl and her shoes.  Well, somehow that affair intensifies with the rise in temperatures.  Sandals, wedges, Saludos and strappy styles all share the spotlight when the weather warms up.  With that, the options are endless.  From embellished designs to minimalist styles, there's literally something (make that several choices and counting) for everyone.   A favorite to try: Tory Burch's Miller sandal.


TEA FOR TWO:  Dining al fresco is a favorite summer past time.  Add some more sweetness to a great date night with some cheerful little cocktails that refreshingly revive your mood.


GET CHEEKY:  Makeup meltdown doesn't have to be a part of your daily routine.  To keep your look fresh, try using some skin friendly, hydrating color like this Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee from Josie Maran.  Easy to build and easy to blend, this luscious, long-lasting color gives your complexion a healthy, lit from within radiant glow.  


With ideas like this at the ready, you can confidently face those sweet and steamy days ahead.  In fact, you may even be looking forward to them now.  Stay beautiful and thanks so much for reading!

XO,
