Freshen Up—Staying Refreshed in the Summer Heat

Written by Diane Aiello

Beauty Editor Diane Aiello finds the loot to keep you refreshed in the summer heat wave.

Shopping List- White Hot

Written by Claire Perkins

We are so cranky. The temp is topping 115, we can't breathe in the car it's so hot, and the pool is un-swimmable because we can't walk on the deck and water is warm. Why do we live here again?

This week, all we can think of are white, airy clothes. And because scrubs (and nudity) aren't an option, here are our picks.

Shopping List- Jumping for Joy! Hot Jumpsuits

Written by Claire Perkins

Jumpsuits can be awfully scary. They have a reputation of riding up unflatteringly and fitting awkwardly, so they've never quite been universally accepted. Plus, it's just too easy to fall back on our favorite black trousers or like-a-glove Paige jeans and a tried-and-true top.

Shopping List- Statement Necklaces

written by Claire Perkins

Tell us, what kind of impact are you making with your Havaianas flip-flops, cotton tube dress and bikini? We understand it can be downright painful to make a fashion statement when the temps are where they are (116 in the car!), but you can add an instant kick to any simple summer outfit with one step. Enter the statement necklace. Lucky for those of us in hot climates, these explosive, luxurious pieces can be found all over the place right now, and will jazz up your outfits for the rest of the year.
