1. The hippie in me can’t help it, but the absolute best about this dress is the material. It’s silk which goes perfect with this heat. Ecote silk paisley smocked dress $58 @ Urban Outfitters | 2. I know, I’m complaining about the heat and then I add a sweater?! What?! If you know Houston summers, you know the AC is going to make all indoors seem 3. The Roman sandal feel helps me feel like my legs are not so bare. Elizabeth & James wrap sanlike igloos. A cover-up is a must. Oscar de la Renta sweater @ Neiman Marcus |3 dals @ Neiman Marcus | 4. These earrings are lightweight and add a little something bright around my face. Gold-fill authentic Mexican chandelier earrings, stylist’s own | 5. OK, delete what I have ever said about any self-tanners in the past. These towelettes are the BEST I have ever tried. Promise! One towelette covers my entire body and dries instantly. I put lotion on right afterward and in a couple of hours I have the most amazing tan. People ask me about my tan all day. It’s simple, no spills and if you can manage to cover your body completely, you will love these. My sister and I are obsessed…and running out. Need to run to Neiman’s ASAP! Kate Somerville self-tanning towelettes @ Neiman Marcus | 6. Europe’s best kept secret is available in the States! This hairspray is AMAZING! Used in all the fashion shows, this stuff holds without making hair stiff and adds shine. Even better, it smells delightful. L’Oreal Elnett Stronghold hairspray $14.99 for 11oz. @ Target
