Work of Art: Art inspired tops with graphics or cool prints paired with denim bottoms
Raise The Bar: Highwaisted anything; skirts, slacks, jeans, shorts (bonus- panties and swimsuit bottoms)
Neon Neo: Turn up the volume! apparel and makeup- the louder the better (bonus running shoes if you're a runner or walker)
Patient Pastel: Get in touch with your softer side and turn down the color by trying the pastel family. Keep it light and flowy with soft colors (bonus - shear fabrics and nail polish in pastel)
Red, White, and Blue:
Red shoes- sandals, flats, and pumps
White watch-perfect for every summer
Denim-top, skirts, and shorts
Stripes, Stars, Polka Dots: Play up your feminine side and try these prints on your tops, skirts, and summer dresses
Mini and Maxi: Go to the extreme when deciding on a length for your skirts and dresses. Try floor length or super short. (bonus- hot shorts)
Colors Decoded: Try using a single color head to toe but with different shades and fabrics (nude, white, green, etc). You can also try this with makeup too. Apply the same color on your eyes, cheeks, and lips.
Be Bold: As a bonus look on using color, instead of using the monochromatic theme, go for bold and mix solid bright colors; blue top with red shorts!
Ice Cold: Stay cool in warm weather- switch out your daily cup of hot green tea, for tea on ice. Bonus, try Panera's take on Iced Green Tea. It tastes great, offers just enough sweetness, and cools you down in 90 degree temps.
Stay fresh and be green: Try a natural deodorant, Herbal Clear- aloe fresh with vitamins A and E. Please note that you will need to apply 6-8 swipes for deodorant to properly work.

Cure your Toes: Prep your feet for summer and sandals by soaking them in a bowl of warm milk for fifeteen minutes. The acid from the milk softens the skin. Epsom salt is another natural remedy- let feet soak for ten minutes in a bowl with warm water and Epsom Salt. While feet are wet, use a wooden foot file or pumice stone to smooth and remove dead skin. To soften and protect feet, moisturize with a natural foot lotion. Lock everything in by wearing a pair of white socks overnight.
