Wishing all a glorious summer of soaking up the sun....don't forget the hat and sunscreen though. The Closet Rapture Duo will be taking off time until the fall. Watch for the metamorphosis...
Our Best,

Breezy Summer Essentials
 |
| Marie Claire |
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...
A super lightweight and versatile knit dress that can be dressed up or down. So very packable and transformative with some fun jewelry....
 |
| Zara |
 |
| 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!

Move Over Black....The Little White Dress
 |
| Rachel McAdams and Uma Thurman Cannes Film Festival 2011 wireimage.com |
There was also plenty of white to be found in the spring runway shows, from lace to modern sleekness. Why wait for Memorial Day Weekend to wear white... we've been wearing it all winter. This year, white is the new black.

Ladies, you can still feel sexy...even vampy in white. Perhaps you can pair an unexpected color or accessory with your LWD. White goes with anything....If you wish to elongate your legs, choose a nude sandal or heel to sport with your dress.
 |
| Dolce and Gabbana |
Lace can add a feminine touch without being too prim and proper. These dresses are ladylike but modern.
 |
| Fendi |
This dress is a statement piece that says, "I'm Here!" Paired with a perfect red lipstick and sleek hair, she's sure to turn some heads at a summer affair.
 |
| Banana Republic |
Do you have a little white dress in your closet? Consider one for your essential wardrobe basics. The little white dress is destined to become a classic...just like the LBD. You may end up turning a few heads!

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!
Many colors and styles available in:
Canvas
Woven Materials

| Nordstrom.com |
 |

Slickered
 |
| Elle.com |
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.

Summer Preparation Series
As summer approaches it's time to take positive steps toward preparing to show a bit more skin. This can truly be a scary time for many women...that dreaded dressing room mirror! In an effort to help I'll be covering the best ways to look chic and confident poolside or at the beach. Topics will include:
A few years ago Miraclesuit Swimwear arrived on the scene and proved to be a life saver for many. For myself the choices were so few that i feared i might be spotted in one of the five color combinations available. Cut to 2010...Now there are a plethora of what I refer to as Shapewear Swimwear. Tommy Hilfiger, Land's End, Ralph Lauren, La Blanca, Gottex, and many others are offering suits with control panels this season. Let's take a closer look at Land's End. They offer six, count them, SIX collections of women's swimwear with some serious control. Each collection boasts five to eight colors or patterns to choose from. 'All Over' control versus 'Tummy Control' is offered. Do you have a long, short or regular torso? Are you a plus size? The choices are staggering. Let me go on the record and say that i believe you MUST try on many bathing suits to determine which fit is best. So online shopping can be tricky. I think i will continue to search for the perfect shapewear suit with a high cut leg...so many choices!!
