Endless Summer… Hair

Although summer’s beachy days are coming to a close- hot beach waves can be worn all year. One of the oldest tricks in the book is driving down to the beach and filling up a spray bottle with ocean salt water…then spritzing some on while your hair is still damp and watch it dry into sexy beach waves that are flattering on just about anyone.

If you don’t have the luxury of living by the ocean, or ocean water daily doesn’t sound super appealing, don’t worry- there are a few great products designed to recreate that beach girl look.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray- great on just about all hair types. Locks in that killer wave and gives great texture.

Sunsilk Waves of Envy, Sea Mist- promises texture AND softness, a wining combination. The killer drugstore price tag of $3.99 doesn’t hurt either.

Garnier Fructis Surf Cream- the only cream “surf” product I have seen- but offers great hold which is a nice added plus. I would imagine this is best for women with thicker hair.

Sedu Beach Spray- makers of the best flat iron I have ever tried have also launched a great wave spray. Great for all colors and offers a shimmery, rippled wave effect.

Enjoy the Endless Summer.

Cost- $3.00+

Yellow Fever

Drew Barrymore and Ellen Page look mellow (and fab) in yellow on the cover of Marie Claire this October (promoting their upcoming movie, Whip It). This buttery yellow is so yummy that while yellow is more of a springtime color, it screams culture of cute worthy for fall! Remember to keep the fabrics in the silky, satin family or crinkly taffeta group to keep the look rich for fall. Any heavier structured look will keep this flaxen mode in style and in season.

To jazz up the outfit: Pair a yellow top or dandelion gold strapless dress with emerald or jade jewel tone accessories to make this fresh, springtime color — autumn ready.
