Favorites… Summer Hair Products
Summer is a time when hair doesn’t necessarily look it’s absolute best – but it should – cause you’re rocking a tan and feeling great! Factor in humidity, sun damage and chlorine, and hair can tend to be coarse, frizzy and even dull.

You may know Valerie Boster as the Vogue Magazine bookings editor (a very prestigious job, indeed). Or perhaps, from the society pages of glossy magazines. You may even recognize her name from the plethora of charities that she lends her name and time to.

INSPIRATION: Isabel Lucas
In a recent post I noted that I was mildly obsessed with Isabel Lucas as of late, and here’s why: the Australian model and actress is both sexy and glamorous. She’s got the Old Hollywood charm mixed with something a bit more contemporary. Whether, she’s gallivanting around in haute couture or chilling in one of her hippy get-ups, she is equally beautiful, equally interesting, and equally herself. The clothes and makeup don’t seem to matter, Isabel radiates an effortless, ethereal beauty that comes from within. She has that timeless thing that only true classic beauties are able to emanate. She’s young, but I predict that she’s on her way to beauty icon status…

FAVORITES: Natural Sunscreens
Summer is most definitely here (finally!) and I, for one, have gotten my first tan of the season. I, of course, applied SPF to both face and body and, in my current quest to switch to as many natural and organic products as possible, I used a natural sun block for the very first time: Alba’s Aloe Vanilla SUNBLOCK Mineral SPF 30. It was fabulous. Rich, super creamy with an incredibly fragrant vanilla smell. Not like those beachy, sunscreen smells we remember years (and tans) past. This was more like a lotion scent, something I could wear around for the day and not get nauseated by.

Girl Crush: Rosie Huntington Whiteley
I’m a girl that can appreciate another girl’s beauty. My guy friends find this quality really “cool” as I’m constantly on the hunt for hot chicks to set them up with. While I’ll be the first to tell you that beauty is SO MUCH MORE than exterior, there is something to be said for first impressions – what first catches your eye.
