My Top Five Must-Haves for Summer 09

Summer is just around the corner, are you ready? You will be with these five must-haves for summer!

1. Sandals - Throw out those old ratty flip flops for a pair of  Gladiator sandals. This style of shoe became popular last year. This summer, it is all about the embellishments. I bought a pair of Steve Maddens sandals this year and I love them. Embellished with beads, sequins and stones, you can never go wrong. Go to SteveMadden.com to purchase your pair today. But before you do, make sure you check out your local Ross, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls to see if they have a pair in stock for less.

2. Sunscreen -There is a lot of talk about the dangers of excess sun exposure. Make sure you protect yourself against the sun with the best of the best. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock in SPF 55, 70 and 85 is a great sunblock. It’s sweat-proof, waterproof and it won’t clog your pores! For more information, check it out for yourself at Neutrogena.com.

3. Racerback Tanks -One of my favorite trends this season are the racerback tanks. I love that designers are being even more creative with the racerback tanks by adding lace or knitting the back adding for a truly unique top that can be dressed up with jeans and pumps for a night on the town or dressed down with shorts and sandals for a fun day at the beach. You can find this racerback tank at any Free People store or at FreePeople.com.

4. Brighten Up Your Lips - I am a big fan of hot pink nail polish in the summer. This summer, why not a bright pink lipstick? Replace your dark red lipstick and save it for the fall time. For summer, brighten up your lips with a shocking pink or a vibrant red for a fresh, summer look. For bright lip stick, I would recommend trying MAC Cosmetics for a vibrant color that compliments your skin tone.

5. Lilac Eyes - After you brighten up your lips, don’t forget about your eyes. Nothing shows the start of a new season like the changing of eye shadow colors. I use Nars Cosmetics Duo Eyeshadow in Violetta. For even more fun, play up your eyes with purple eyeliner.
