Ready for the summer? I’d say yes, and no… Yes, I can’t wait to starting rocking some summer dresses and shorts, but no, I am not excited for the 8 month Summer in Los Angeles. Anyway, Juicy Couture has launched their new spring summer 2010 collection, and it’s making me excited!
I truly love summer but I love my makeup more and this sun isnt helping. If you find yourself complaining about how the sun is “melting” your makeup I got a list of products I use myself and on clients. These items will definately help if you need major coverage without looking melty or cakey:
STEP #1
MAC OIL CONTROL LOTION: Oily face? Massage your clean face with this lotion focusing on your oily areas. I use it every day before any primers or foundations. buy here
STEP #2
The perfect sneaker for the summer is one that stands out. Black is sooo last Winter! We still have some Summer time, so take advantage! They’ll look great with pretty much anything, I wear my orange vans with jean shorts, skinny jeans or even a super casual dress. Buy these here.
Banksy- one of the most wanted guerrilla artists for “art terrorism”. I’m absolutely in love with his work. I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to take a trip to the UK for the summer, I definitely would if I could. Heres a little preview of what the U.S. is missing out on:
From left: Masai Dress ($78), Edenvale Dress ($88), Serengeti Dress ($78)
Quicksilver is usually the a line you think of when you think womens fashion. Suprisingly, they are definitely coming out with some hot stuff. Not only are they cute, but their affordable. I know when you think Quicksilver, you think of dudes and waves, but this is definitely anything but that. They infused the rocker look, boho, and casual cool to get these awesome pieces of clothing. Their dresses definitely are my favorites. Shop online now right here.

Spotted these over at Killah Beez.
Summertime is not only a time to have fun and enjoy yourself, but take care of your body, and especially your beautiful hair! One of my favorite hair brands, Redken’s Color Extend Sun Sparkling Shield has the perfect ingredients to instantly detangle, boost moisture and softness, and add shine to your hair when UV rays are harsh and damaging. The Sparkling Shield leave-in smoother infuses deep hydration into sun-exposed, moisture-thirsty hair and the UV shield helps prevent fading. Your hair will have a healthy shine, texture, and style that lasts all day.

Unfortunately we can’t all be as flawless as Adriana Lima but we can definitely work with what we got. Since the summer weather is finally here I am going to give a couple skin Do’s and Don’ts that will be vital for the next couple months.
If I learned anything from Lifeguarding for 3 years it’s that sun block is a MUST!! Yes we all want to tan but getting burned is a different story. Be sure to put on sun block AND/OR tanning spray or lotion with SPF. If you do however happen to forget and get sun burned, Bring out the Aloe Vera.
Chap stick is good at any time of the year, month or day but during summer it is crucial. I’m big on lip care and one of my personal favorites is Burt’s Bee’s Sun Protecting chap stick with SPF 8. There’s nothing more unattractive than cracked, chapped lips so ladies, In the name of all things holy keep them lips nice and moist….you never know when you might use them 
FEET!! It’s summer….which means bring out the sandals, heels, chanclas or if your on the beach no shoes for that matter. Please do us all and yourself a favor and keep the feet neat. Pedi’s are a must. Dead skin?? Come on women, were better than that. If you don’t have time or money for a pedi feel free to do it yourself. Keep a foot scrub and file in the shower and start workin!
Vans has come together with surf company Captain Fin Co. who is best known for their great artwork on, well… fins! Joel Tudor and Alex Knost from the Captain Fin Co. team designed two shoes with matching t-shirts which all feature the classic Captain Fin Co. logo.
Yea… everyone has probably been obsessed with the “anchor” sometime in their life. I absolutely love em, don’t really know why. The story for another time. I definitely want to get those maroon shoes. They would be perfect for the summer paired up with short shorts and a wife beater. Keep a look out!
More pics after the jump! Also, check out their site and peep their lil blog on the left!
Yes, it’s summer time! You know what that means…keepin’ those bikini lines tight! Because no one likes to see the Amazonian Rain Forrest down there. Time to get that buzz cut! Whether you’re a topiary girl, a landing strip or bare naked- this Bliss Bikini kit is a must have for this Summer!
The kit takes you from hair to as bare as you want to go with a precision wet and dry trimmer, precision comb that adjusts to 5 length settings, and a micro shaver. You are on your own for fancy shapes, but this is the trimmer that can guide you in your topiary fantasies.
What we really like about Bikini Perfect is the nifty assortment of Bliss Spa body care products that come in a beauty bag with each version of the grooming system—the basic kit includes a Bliss Ingrown Hair eliminating Pad and Bliss Lemon Sage Body Butter. Get it at Sephora for only $60.
