Summer is all about wearing clothes that will keep you cool, but beautiful and sexy at the same time.  The key is knowing when to accessorize, and being versatile with your outfits. At times you don’t even have to try hard to look cute; putting on a pair of shades, a hat or fun colored heels can make all the difference in your outfit. For instance, Vanessa Hudgens (above) is wearing a pair of leopard print pants, which is all she needs to make a sexy statement. Wearing certain colors can also be a great way to keep it simple but sexy. We love Gwyneth’s silver & black ensemble. The dress is a statement garment with hints of black, to which she adds a black clutch and black strappy sandals to match. In keeping with the summery look, dress in bright colors and prints that make you pop.

Another important thing to note for this summer is the peachy, pale pink colored dresses and skirts that’ll make you feel so sweet and sexy. Also, don’t forget to keep makeup simple because it’s too hot to be wearing foundation, powder and bronzer. Stick with a tinted moisturizer and smokey eyes like Ashley Tisdale and Mindy Kaling (below).

With so much makeup on the market, it’s hard to know what to buy that’ll actually work for you and not cost a fortune. As you know, over the years makeup has become really expensive; even drugstore brands aren’t that reasonably priced. Here are few of the hottest trends you have to try that won’t break your pocket:     

1. Eyes
 As summer rolls in, you’ll want to wear bright colored eyeliner and eyeshadow because it will make your eyes pop and add a splash of color to any outfit. Try the eyeliner and eyeshadows below to create Rihanna’s bold, blue look:

This formula is alcohol-free so it won’t dry your skin and it’s also oil-free so it won’t clog your pores.

Who says you can’t show off your hair during the holiday season? For Christmas or New Years’ parties,  you’ll want to walk into a room in style. Depending on whether your hair is short, long, or with bangs, you should go out fashionably using what you already have.  Jessica Alba shows off her thick bangs with an updo while Diane Kruger goes with stylish waves. Riri’s pixie cut looks adorable in blonde, falling ever so slighty accross her forehead. Lastly, Zoe Kravitz and Hillary Duff keep their long locks in layers.

Ladies, at some point in our lives we have and will experience a loss of hair volume or hair thinning.  As we age the volume and diameter of our hair begins to lessen. Jessica, Victoria and Kate have naturally thin hair and have found cute ways to work with what they have by either adding bangs, an asymmetrical bob or a simple updo. Other women, however are not as lucky and actually have hair that is thinning due to health issues such as PCOS, a hormone imbalance, or menopause.

Here are a few tips to thicken and add volume to your hair:

1. Evaluate what type of hair thinning you are experiencing; is it health related? If so, go to see doctor and get it checked out. This needs to be fixed from the inside first.
2. If you are experiencing some other type of hair thinning, here are some tips for you:
   1. Take zinc. Zinc is an essential hair vitamin that helps strengthen the hair shaft and stimulates hair growth
   2. Wash with Phyto Revitalizing shampoo for thinning hair. Hair looks stronger in just a few washes

   3. Wash with Mane n Tail Shampoo & Conditioner. This product takes about a month to show complete results of strong healthy hair.
   4. Use a leave in treatment at least once a week
   5. Get a haircut that suits you and gives a little oomph like Jessica Alba and Victoria Beckham
   6. Put your hair up in a traditional updo like Kate Bosworth
   7. Dye hair a few shades darker to add dimension to the hair. Be careful, overdying can also cause hair loss.
