Summer Style

Hitting the vacation spots this year doesn't mean you give up on style. Here are a few examples from top designers making great looking clothes that will keep you in style for months to come.

From designer Toton Comella: Awesome swimsuits if you've got the shape [yes, I have said it before, not all swimsuits are designed for every body type] and wish to actually do some swimming. The less the suit, the more it's designed for getting that perfect tan if you don't own a private beach or have the privacy of your yacht where clothes are optional. No free shows, ladies, you don't want to end up embarrassed in some tabloid.

Great outfits you can duplicate when you browse the shops or get that jolt of java.

Great casual looks for the guys from Hermes:

No need for heavy makeup on the beach or daytime strolling through the local shops. You need some color on your skin with a sun block, light mascara, and lip protection, nothing heavy.

From Bobbi Brown, I like the heavier eye with the rest of the face minimal and neutral. Remember to pick one area of the face to emphasize, the eyes or lips, not both, or you will look clownish. Always remember your flawless skin comes first. If you have less than perfect skin, keep the eye makeup and lips to a minimum, and work on perfecting the color and tone of the skin. 

Remember, beauty comes from within. No pizza, fries, or tons of dairy products. Fruit, vegetables, salads, with minimal bread [wheat can clog the pores and give you a dull complexion], and you're on your way to better looking skin.

Oh, and when relaxing, it's okay to let your pets have the couch.
