Fashion Crush – Romantic Summer Dresses


Summer is simply a romantic season, with warm evenings, long walks, sunshine and starry nights, and maybe even a little bit of exotic travel.  This year’s most dreamy dresses are romantic in floaty fabrics, softer prints, less structured silhouettes, and sweet touches like ruffles, lace, and florals.  One of the key trends for summer is a higher neckline and a more modest look with long delicate sleeves on midi and maxi length dresses, but if bare shoulders appeal to you, you won’t be disappointed.  Don’t resist the urge to be soft and pretty, to let go of tight and constricting styles for summer, and to look like a love story heroine. Nothing could be fresher and sweeter.  Long live romance!

Jane Birkin – Style Crush

Born in England but with a French soul Jane Birkin has become a style legend. Her look has been so outside of fashion that it became its own fashion, a look that has been channeled by Kate Moss to fashion designers and brands, to bloggers like Alexa Chung.

Jane has never looked like she was trying to hard or that her look was “studied”.  It was just Jane being Jane, with her tomboy figure, fringed bangs, and laid-back style. It was as if this tall, willowy creature with the big eyes and long hair just threw on her jeans and at-shirt, a lick of mascara and she was off, creating a French style esthetic that hasn’t changed since then.  For Jane, bras and shoes were optional. 
 

Becoming Jane is as easy as wearing flared jeans, fitted t-shirts, white button down shirts, jean shorts, stripes, and midriff-baring crop tops.  There is no easier summer beauty look than Jane’s, and straight-haired tomboys need only a rosy blush, and mascara worn on both the top and bottom lashes to play up the wide-eyed look.
 

There is good reason Jane’s style and beauty endures to this day.  It is incredibly sexy and youthful for a woman to be natural, and to wear simple, classic things that make you notice her rather than her makeup or what she is wearing.  She doesn’t need any embellishment or to transform into something else.  French women to this day can thank Jane making simple jeans, t-shirts, men’s shirts, skinny necklaces, natural hair, and fresh-faced beauty with a dash of mascara the look that today is considered the epitome of French girl cool.

Perfect Peachy Pout: Summer's Freshest Lip


The perfect peachy pout is a look that suits everyone and looks amazing in summer, and can go from sexy to sophisticated depending on the formula you choose.  Peach tones give skin a healthy glow that says “I just ate a creamiscle at the beach”.  Choose matte for work days, glossy for steamy nights, and moisturizing balms for weekends. 

Here are my top new picks for summer: 




Lighten up your color palette for summer and let your skin be the star attraction. Less product, less contrast, less definition, more glow, more natural skin tone, and more compliments!
