Summer Must Haves
- Open-Back Tops: Rarely does a trend transcend the gap between fashion and function, which is all the more reason to nab a few of these sexy shirts. A great inspiration piece to motivate you to tone up yet another (sigh) area that sees the light of day during the summer months.
- Platform Wedges: Now's the time to ditch those stilettos in favor of a more feet-friendly option. Paired with a flowy dress or short-shorts, wedges give a dressier vibe to easy summer style—and a chance to show off your new pedi.
- Nude Makeup: Admit it—it's been over 10 years since Jennifer Lopez rocked the all-white outfit in If You Had My Love, but that J. Lo glow is just as enviable as ever. Compliment your hard-earned tan with nude lip and eye colors with just a hint of shimmer.
- Denim Shorts: Channel your inner Daisy Duke with this summer staple. With so many varieties of length, wash, and style available, you're sure to find an upgrade from the old DIY cut-offs you love.
- Feather Accessories: From those hot leather minidresses to killer accessorizing, Disney's Pocahontas had a lot to teach us about sexy summer dressing. Follow her lead with earthy-inspired feather earrings, necklaces and braided-leather headbands.
- Loose Tanks: Keep the proportions of skintight denim in check with a comfy loose tank. Summer vacation means packing light--utilizing a top that's both beach cover-up and easy-to-dress up.
- Floral Hair Clips: Even if your hula needs work, you can still work it with a pretty plumeria hair clip. Looks equally gorgeous with a polished ponytail or sexy beach waves. Remember, over left ear means you're taken and over the right ear means available!
- Floppy Sun Hat: Whether it's poolside in Vegas or your locals-only beach, give your get-up some glamour in a wide-brimmed sunhat. Keeping your face wrinkle-free never looked so good.
- Flowy Floral Dresses: Since Woodstock of '69 to this year's Coachella, the flowy floral-print dress has been the fan-favorite of festival babes everywhere. Stretch the feeling of your peace and love weekend all summer long in this feminine frock.
