LIPSTICK: Honey Moon by MAC *limited edition (the perfect nude that doesn't make you look like a corpse)
LIP BALM: Burt's Bees (it works and is natural)
EYE SHADOW: Claire De Lune by MAC *limited edition (the perfect slightly shimmery daytime shadow)
BRONZER: Refined Golden by MAC
FACE SUNSCREEN: Health Skin Protection SPF 35 by Obagi (doesn't cause breakouts)
SUNSCREEN: Pacific Mango SPF 35 (Four Seasons' Spa Collection--paraben free)
AFTER SUN LOTION: Aubrey (nothing bad in it)
LOTION: After Bath in Kukui Nut Coconut by Epicuren (Smell like the tropics and you don't have to worry about bad chemicals or parabens )
Cleander: Effaclar by La Roche-Posay
Toner: Biomedic by La Roche-Posay
DRESS: Gucci-esque purple and red bohemian tunic dress by Blue Angels (I've only seen this dress at Planet Blue. Yay! I won't bump into other chicks wearing my dress. Planet Blue on Montana Ave. has two left, though.)
CHEAP DRESS: White Embroidered '60s shift dress from H&M ('60 chic that doesn't look cheap)
CHEAP BEACH COVER UPS: Gauze skirt by Elan. (Basically anything gauze by Elan or Becca such as this tunic. I bought a white sleeveless v-neck tunic at H&M that I use as a cover up, too)
BEACH COVER UP: "Stella" Mini Dress or Baby Doll by Vitamin A (seems like the perfect stylish cover up in loads of colors)
LINGERIE: Intimissimi for Victoria's Secret
SUMMER PANTS: linen (reg. length and capri) by H&M or Lucky Brand.
HEELS: Bolo Alcala in Natural (These go with everything and make packing so much less stressful)
FLIP FLOPS: Whatever is comfortable and cute. I also have Gizeh style Birkenstocks.
BEACH TOWEL: Seahorse towel by Seaton
SCARF: Tie-dyed wool scarf (I suggest buying a scarf like this one or the one here. I also like Patrick Robinson's linen scarf for Target. Scarves are perfect to bring on a plane with you when you're going somewhere warm. You can also wear them at night instead of a cardigan.)
Note: I will be updating this list. Please leave your summer picks in the comment section.
Comments
In warm weather, I love to wear Escada's Magnetism fragrance. Also, Fat Tire's Skinny Dip summer seasonal beer with a slice of lemon is great-- tastes just like a Belgian ale but with like 100 calories. Leaves room for all the McConnell's ice cream (made in Santa Barbara) that I like to eat in summertime!
