Tie Me Up: Knotted Shirt Style

When a knotted shirt comes to mind, I envision a cowgirl wearing a plaid, red, tight, sleeveless and midriff baring knotted shirt. Of course, things have changed since the 90s and this season’s knotted shirts a bit different! Think of a relaxed, collared button-up gone blouse. Brands like Equipment and Theory have designed effortless and relaxed knotted shirts in ultra-luxe fabrics. Pair solid or pattern knotted shirt with a fabulous pair of denim, wide leg pant or maxi skirt for a super chic and casual look.

Video Time: Dry Shampoo How-To

What every girl needs: dry shampoo. Stylists recommend that we should not wash our hair every day. Doing that will strip your hair of its natural oils that keep it healthy and shiny. In between washes, try using a dry shampoo (powder or spray) that will keep your scalp smelling and feeling fresh and oil-free at the roots.

Driving the Wedge

My ultimate go-to for heels that are sky high and provide the most comfort are wedges (duh!). Wooden, cork, espadrilles, flatform, hidden, wrapped and architectural wedges all sport the best finishing touch for a fab spring and summer look. Thanks to the arch support in wedges, your feet will last a lot longer (thank God!) so don’t hesitate when selecting which shoes to sport for a full day of festivities. 

Here are the wedges I’m loving for this season:

Steve Madden

Dior

Marc by Marc Jacobs

Miz Mooz

Nine West

Paloma Barcelo

Rebecca Minkoff

Take the Heat

With summer around the corner, there’s much to look forward to: sun, beach vacations, pool parties and lots of heat! All of which are great and wonderful to look forward to, but your makeup bag may need some more room. Can your make up and hair take the heat? Avoid melting foundation, smudged mascara, running eyeliner and a frizzy mane while soaking up the sun poolside at a rooftop party. Stay flawless in the heat this summer with the help of these fab products below:

Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover

Keep your foundation from melting dripping into the pool with a base that keeps everything together and protects your skin with SPF 15.

Argon Oil Hair Serum

 Your strands will stay smooth and flawless from root to tip with Argon Oil Hair Serum which penetrates your hair before humidity does to keep your tresses frizz-free.

Dior Dior Show Waterproof Mascara

Take a dive without worrying about coming up from underwater with black streaks of mascara painting your pretty lil’ face. Go ahead and splash away– this mascara ain’t going anywhere!

Make Up Forever Waterproof Eyeliner

Be confident your eyeliner stays exactly what it’s supposed to be…a line! No smudging or smearing with these bad boys!

Sailing Away

Maybe it’s the ‘sailor’ in me, but the nautical look has got me hooked! Clean stripes, dark navy, crisp white and a fresh pair of Sperrys have me going overboard! The nautical look is so refreshing that you can’t go wrong working this look in spring and summer. There are so many different options to rock the nautical look: shorts, denim, tanks, sweaters dresses, blazers, wedges and Sperrys. Don’t be afraid to combine different textures like linen and seersucker. Mixing in a camel belt and a bright colored handbag and accessories in red and yellow are the perfect accents to take this look up a couple notches.

Sperrys in metallic gold
