Summer provides a great opportunity for vacation time with our loved ones. If you are scheduling you next vaca with the family, include plans to pack your favorite AprilMarin dress! After daytime fun enjoying the summer sun, vacations always include a night-on-the-town dinner (and perhaps dance) with that special someone. Both the Lily Dress and Rose Dress are perfect romantic evening attire with fun, flirty flair. The fullness of either skirt will offer the perfect playful flow while you dance the night away.

The Rose Dress has several unique details, including covered front buttons, a square neckline, short folded sleeves and a matching belt. The Lily Dress is practically a two-in-one because when paired with some cute flats, it doubles as a daytime dress as well! It’s multi-use helps to keep the packing light. Best of all, your custom AprilMarin dress always has a perfect fit, so no worries about looking great!

Skin cancer and wrinkles are so out, and therefore, protecting yourself from the sun is in!  The sun is a signature of summer, but its harmful rays can hurt.  Here are a few fashionable ways to protect yourself while catching some rays.

Sun block is key!  There are so many easy ways to apply, so there is definitely no excuse not too.  Tons of lotions and makeups already have an SPF in them and are simple enough to apply before you even leave the house in your daily makeup routine.  We suggest using a tinted moisturizer with SPF instead of a foundation, or an SPF included bronzer.  Some of these are Clinique’s Moisture Sheer Tint SPF 15 and Murad’s Firming Bronzer SPF 15; there are many more, so find one that suits your lifestyle best!  Also, with new misting sunscreen sprays, this protection is easier to use than ever.  SPF of 15 to 30 are recommended for daily activities, and when you’re purposely in the sun, higher SPFs of 30 to 50 would benefit your skin.

Hats always make a statement, but they can also guard your face from a burn.  A big floppy hat is fun and can be worn to any outdoor occasion, or if you’re going casual, throw on a cute fedora or baseball cap.  Anyway you where one will shield your skin from the sun.  Also, sunglasses aren’t called “shades” for no reason, and are an obvious summer fashion must that will defend your eyes from rays.

If you are just looking for a tan, there are plenty of sunless self-tanners that aren’t harmful like the sun.  Many have been perfected to be odor and streak-free, or you can head to your local tanning salon for an airbrush tan.  These are great options that give you the result you want now, without the harmful (and sometimes ugly) effects later.

Hope these help! Have a fun and safe summer!!

You can perfect any fashion trend in the book, but trendy hair always completes the look.  There are several simple in dos that will add a hint of girly, flirty, fun or sophistication to your look this summer.

Due to fashion trends of 2008, shorter haircuts are now growing out.  Trends are now going even shorter.  The pixie cut is the way to go if you are a stick-out-of the-crowd kind of girl.  Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes are famous for this cut, but I just

L-O-V-E Elisha Cuthbert’s.

If you aren’t as daring, or are letting your hair grow out from your last hair excursion, do not fear, the bob is here.  The cut sits at the nape of the neck, and is perfect for the hot summer days and is an easy to style cut, especially since messy out-of-bed-short-hair is in.  Longhaired girl and afraid of the scissors?  You can still enjoy this trend!  Grab bobby pins that match your hair and pin it up and under to the nape of the neck.

Check out how Heidi Klum’s bob frames her face perfectly

Not looking for a cut, but still want to try something new?  Braids are possibly the quickest way to do so.  Starting above one eyebrow, French braid towards the other side of your head and bobby pin behind the ear and under some hair.  This brings an instant innocence, yet glamour, to any look.  As seen below on Lauren Conrad.

Also, new braided hairpieces help those with shorter hair or the inability to braid (its ok, some people just can’t seem to get it down!)  Finding one that matched your hair perfectly may be hard, but once you do, just slip it in and go!  We love that this style can be worn casual or dressed up.  Sienna Miller pulls off this look beautifully.

Mermaid and beachy waves are an obvious summer do.  Perfect again for any occasion, these waves are sexy and sophisticated.  When you aren’t at the beach, but want to catch these waves, take 1-2 inch pieces of hair and wrap them around hot curlers, pin them and let ‘em cool.  Take them out and pull a large-tooth comb through your hair.  You’ll end up with big soft waves.  Use a soft hairspray for hold.

Finding something to wear on a rainy day is hard enough, never mind trying to find the right shoes to wear. Rain boots work sometimes, but what about when rain boots aren’t particularly appropriate, you plan on wearing your favorite heals to work, or when you think the bad weather is about to ruin a special event? We have an answer to this terrifying situation – grab your raincoat and your Shuellas.

“Shuellas?” you might ask. As seen on Good Morning America and The Today Show, Shuellas are your go-to “shoe umbrellas.” Available in black, pink, yellow or green, this waterproof shoe cover fits a heeled foot perfectly. Designed to be tighter around the calf (versus a wider open-top rain boot), the Shuella prevents rain from entering the boot and further ruining your day. The anti-slip sole is another must have feature, and the included cloth to wipe excess water and custom carry tote help clean and stow the unique product. The look is funky, but worth it. Who likes carrying around clunky rain boots or ruining your priceless pumps any way? Let us know what you think!
