summer is here

10 TIPS FOR TAKING YOUR WARDROBE FROM SPRING TO SUMMER

1- BUY 5 NEW WHITE TEE SHIRTS (I LOVE J CREW) THEY ARE SO SOFT AND NOT TOO EXPENSIVE WWW.JCREW.COM

2)- PACK UP YOUR WINTERWEAR! HIT THE CONTAINER STORE AND GET SPACE BAGS/UNDERBED CONTAINERS AND ORGANIZERS FOR BATHING SUITS, SUMMER SCARVES, AND SANDALS. YOU SHOULD SHOP IN YOUR CLOSET BEFORE SHOPPING FOR SUMMER!

3- INVEST IN WHITE FLIP-FLOPS. YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WEAR HEELS TO BE SEXY. ADD A PAIR OF WHITE FLIP FLOPS (I LOVE HAVIANNAS) TO A CUTE SUMMER DRESS. COMFORT IS KEY!

4- GET RID OF ANYTHING IN YOUR CLOSET YOU HAVENT WORN IN A YEAR! IF YOU DIDN’T WEAR IT LAST SUMMER YOU ARE NOT WEARING IT THIS SUMMER….DONATE IT AND MAKE ROOM FOR FAB OPTIONS.

5- INVEST IN A GOOD BRA- A NUDE BRA WILL GO UNDER ANYTHING AND MAKE ANY OUTFIT LOOK BETTER. WHAT YOU WEAR UNDERNEATH IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU ARE WEARING! I LOVE COMMANDO’S.

6- MAN OR WOMAN: GET A WHITE BUTTON DOWN. I LOVE BROOK’S BROTHERS BECAUSE IT IS MADE WITH A NO-WRINKLE MATERIAL THAT YOU CAN WASH AND THROW IN THE DRYER. I LOVE WEARING A WBD TO THE BEACH. SO SEXY!

7- SELF TANNER! THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN WALKING ONTO THE BEACH PALE (NOT TO MENTION THE SUN IS BAD FOR YOU!) I LOVE CLARINS SELF TANNER…AND NO, IT DOSEN’T MAKE YOU TURN ORANGE!

8- MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PAIR OF JEANS THAT FIT YOU. NOTHING IS SEXIER THAN A GREAT PAIR OF JEANS BUT MOST PEOPLE HAVE TOO MANY PAIRS THAT DON’T FIT PERFECTLY.  I LOVE MY RIPPED SEVENS MADE OF ORGANIC COTTON. WWW.SEVENOFALLMANKIND.COM

9- HAVE A PARTY DRESS (FOR MEN, OUTFIT) READY! YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN LAST MINUTE PLANS WILL COME UP…HAVE SOMETHING FAB YOU CAN GRAB THAT FITS YOU PERFECTLY.

10- HAVE A FRIEND YOU TRUST. THE MIRROR WILL SOMETIMES LIE TO YOU. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO WILL SAY “AHHHH TAKE THAT OUTFIT OFF!”

HAPPY SUMMER!
