Breezy Summer Essentials

Marie Claire
The essence of summer is sheer simplicity.  We thought we would take a moment to remind everyone of the simple pleasures of summer waiting to unfold...

A weekend getaway with the added bonus of a lighter suitcase... a few essentials are all you need.  Swimsuit, tunic, t-shirt, sandals, sunscreen, sundress and a great read...

Zara
A super lightweight and versatile knit dress that can be dressed up or down.  So very packable and transformative with some fun jewelry....

Trina Turk
A little punch of color goes a long way.  If you are among the lucky who can sport a two piece, this suit has a bit of coverage and is packed with style.

Melissa Odabash

Whether sauntering across the pool deck or having a sunset cocktail...this melon colored tunic does double duty....pair it with white capris or throw it over your bathing suit as a coverup.

San Diego Hat Company

Hiding from the paparazzi or those ultra violet rays.....you are covered with a wide brimmed hat that is packable and crushproof.

Trader and Company

The more uses it has, the better we like it....a fantastic sturdy tote that takes you from farmer's market to pool side....picnics, summer concerts, sailing with friends, tote the kids' sweatshirts and beach pails...you get the idea.  Must channel inner French girl!

Vince Camuto Sandal

These slide on sandals are a lovely metallic tone which transitions from day to night.  If gold is not your thing, they come in a love pewter tone too!


A fantastic summer read that you will not want to put down....and yet, you don't want it to draw to an end as well.....what is the indescribable thing about reading a book on a lazy summer afternoon?

Trovata Weekender

A gorgeous bag with just enough room to store all of your summer essentials. This bag is durable and roomy, crisp and polished, and yet still so very understated...

Really, that is all you need.  A few lovely pieces and a fabulous bag to store them in.  May your breezy summer days carry you off on a few relaxed and laid back adventures.

To Summer!

In a Clutch

It's a special occasion and you really do look Mahhhhhvelous.  But wait, you need something to carry your lipstick in for touch ups.

Enter the poor forgotten clutch.  
So often an afterthought as you do that last check in the mirror before leaving home.  
And yet such an important function.  

TANO

Kate Spade



Whether for casual, business, or an elegant affair, the clutch makes a statement of its own.



Pay attention to scale. ie. If you are tall and a full figured woman,
skip the mini clutch and opt for a sizeable clutch. 
ASOS




Try to think outside of the box with interesting embellishments

Santi 'Pearl' Clutch



And unexpected materials, like patent leather.

Jill Sander


 Just add mini floss, lipstick, mini mints, multi functional Rose Salve,
your slim cell, credit card and a crisp $20.




And you're ready to take on the world.

We Advise the Visor

Ahhh the visor.  
For that casual occasion be it tennis, golf, a trip to the ball park, what better way to protect your face?  Sun protection without later experiencing the dreaded hat head look.


Ugh!

Consider deep conditioning and a braid or chingnon if you are poolside or at the beach.
Be sure to spritz a sunscreen product on the crown of your head for protection of your hair and scalp.

Also helps to extend your hair color.
