STAY FASHIONABLY COOL IN THE SUMMER HEAT!


Whether you live in East New York, Jersey, The ‘Burbs, out West, or Down South, I’m sure you’ve been trying to adjust to this summer’s scorching weather! — Here in New York, the temperature has gone all the way up to about 109° degrees! So, staying cool [and fashionable] is a must.

- A lightweight dress like the teal one pictured above is an essential summer piece. The color is vibrant, the silhouette is simple, and it’s available at Target stores and Target.com in up to 6 different colors, for only $19.99!! — And for you girls like myself who aren’t too fond of your arms, it has (short) sleeves!

- Heavy and over-sized handbags definitely are NOT an option! Hit up Charlotte Russe for a fabulous cross-body bag. I own the same snakeskin one above, and I LOVE IT! — You can either wear it folded (as shown), or with the top half standing up like a bucket bag if your belongings need a bit more room.

- This summer’s go-to hairstyle is the top-knot. You can rock yours sleek and pulled tightly into a high bun like actress Christina Milian (pictured above), or loosely styled if you’re currently rocking braids or twists. No need for a fussy look.

- Cork wedges are super trendy this season! They’re comfy, yet chic. If you’re not into the height, go for an even comfier style like a flat pair of gladiator or thong sandals. **Here, I must also stress the need to hit up your local ‘Nail 2 Cute’ nail salon for a nice pedicure!

Another essential to staying cool yet cute this summer, is a hat. Whether it be floppy, straw, or a trendy trilby, hats not only provide shade, but aid in completing your summertime look. Charlotte Russe has a few great ones starting at only $12.50!
