Summer Must Haves!

Every fabulous beach babe needs a fabulous beach hat. (Think Samantha in Sex and the City, but practical.) Many wide-brim hats are now made with UV-blocking materials and cost lest than $40. Pin on a colorful flower to mix it up a bit.

Invest in a light-weight sundress. Who says you can't look good AND be comfortable? White is my color pick for the summer - just avoid the bbq sauce.

Trade in a fridge full of plastic water bottles for a single eco-friendly style statement. I like SIGG's reusable, aluminum water bottle. Bonus - it won't leak any harmful chemicals into your water (you know you've heard the rumors) and the dog won't use it as a chew toy.

With the invention of the camera phone, we are never without a camera. Make your photos more fun with a photo enhancing iPhone application like CameraBag. You can instantly create polariods or add photo filters that simulate real camera effects. If you don't want to shell out the 2 bucks, there some free iPhone apps that can do more basic retouching like cropping and changing color. A little color (or lack there of) can make even a camera phone image look like art.
