Summer Is Here!

Whether you live in one of the hottest places on earth or a comfortable vacation spot, dressing classy for the summer can be hard…especially for women!

Before you start redoing your summer wardrobe, your first step is to clean your wardrobe and store everything that can’t be worn this summer. Storing your winter clothes not only keeps your mind from trying to get you to wear something that’s not season appropriate; but it also increases your closet real-estate which gives you loads of room for your summer shopping.

When shopping for the summer there are a few wardrobe staples that every woman should have:

1. A Flattering Bathing Suit

A great fitting flattering one or two piece bathing suit will last for years to come. Because we are developing our wardrobe staples make sure you pick one that’s black, white or navy so that you’ll always have a swimsuit that doesn’t go out of style. Of course, you can build upon that base later.

2. A Strapless Convertible Bra

This is a very important staple in a woman’s wardrobe, especially in the summer. Showing your bra straps is a major ‘no no’, especially when wearing strapless dresses, tank tops and halters. Invest in a convertible strapless bra that can be rearranged in as many possibilities as your wardrobe.

3. A Built In Bra Tank

Sometimes you just can’t wear a bra under everything. A built in bra tank allows you to feel the summer breeze without sacrificing support or the illusion of support.

4. A Ribbed Cotton Tank

Originally made for men, these shirts are now fashionably acceptable for women and can be incorporated within your wardrobe. You can wear them with jeans and a scarf, a suit jacket, or alone with lots of accessories.

5. Cotton Clothing

Whether it’s a light weight top in range of colours and prints or a comfortable printed dress, cotton clothing will keep you fashionable while feeling great in the summer heat.

6. A Strapless Dress

A strapless dress in black, navy, white can be incorporated into your wardrobe seamlessly. Try a maxi dress paired with a great mesh top or jean jacket with sandals or a shorter evening style strapless dress for those summer nights.

7. Knee Length Shorts

Not only do knee length shorts keep you looking cool, but they come in a variety of styles and look very sophisticated and chic when paired with summer tops.

8. Drawstring Pants

You’d be amazed at the combinations you can develop with a few pairs of classy drawstring linen pants. A navy, white and black pair are essential for a stylish summer wardrobe.

These are a few of your summer basics to get through the rest of this summer. Many of these pieces can easily transition to autumn by using a technique called layering.

Remember…

Every Girl Has An “It” Look That Works

Whether it’s a natural look that’s simple or a subtle dramatic look to add some spunk, the finishing process is still the same. Here are

3 Steps Conquer Your Amazing Finale:

1. Use A Gentle Cleanser

Every morning and every night you should use a gentle cleanser to keep your skin free of build-up. When you are cleansing your face use upward strokes. These upward strokes not only help fight gravity and prevent future wrinkles, but they help prevent skin irritation.

2. Use A Toner To Freshen Up Your Skin

A moisturiser to hydrate (don’t forget the SPF) and exfoliate at least 2 to 3 times per week.

3. Create An All Day Flawless Daytime Look Using Loose Powder.

After applying your foundation and concealer,distribute loose powder evenly over the entire face and neck to set your foundation and concealer. Throughout the day you can apply pressed powder with a sponge or powder brush.

So, What’s The Secret To That Flawless Finish?

You guessed it, loose powder. Here are a few additional tips to help you apply it for you skin and age.

• Be sure to choose a powder that’s 3 shades lighter than your foundation
• If you are over the age of 30 do not use the powder under your eyes because it can make wrinkles stand out.
• If your skin is extra shiny and loose powder doesn’t get rid of all the oil, use oil blotting sheets.
