Beat the Heat!

Hello my gorgeous people!

       Most of you may be experiencing this heat wave sweeping across the country, but that doesn't mean you can't beat it. I know 100-degree weather is pretty intimidating (especially here in Miami), but there are still ways you can outsmart the heat and look nevertheless, fabulous. Here are some must-haves when it comes to battling with the scorching heat!

1. unscented sun protection! This Aveeno hydrosport is really light weight and will block those intense sun rays from burning your skin regardless of complexion color.  They also have a light-weight facial one that is 30 SPF.

2. A great accessory to optimize your whole look is some head gear. A hat serves it's dual purpose of protecting your face and sealing your swag! Depending on your style, choose your favorite kind of hat and make it your best friend this summer. This is one that you'll see everywhere but still one of my favorites!



3. If it's one material that is absolutely essential in my closet each summer, is Linen! Not only does it let my body breathe but it's very flattering too. You can dress Linen up or down with adding the right accessories. Some other great materials trending are crotchet and chiffon!
4.  I have a thing for dressing up my water bottles in cute sleeves and snagging thermals with abstract prints. For weather that would probably melt your rubber soles right into the cement your walking on, it's crucial to stay hydrated. Of course, as fashionistas, we can't just walk around with a blue label of Zephyrhills. Thank God someone thought of us. You can drink your preferred water (spring, purified, sparkling, tap) from a thermal with your favorite patterns and art on them. Here are some of my favorite kinds!


5. Let's not forget about fighting back the humidity with some great protection for our hair. During extreme weather changes and aggression, our hair gets beat up and we end up looking like Cramer from Seinfeld. Whether it's straight, curly, thick or thin, it definitely needs to be protected. This product by Kerastase is awesome. It's a little costly but when it comes my hair, I can't really put a cap on it. Nevertheless, whatever hair brand you follow religiously, make sure it protects from hair-damaging conditions. Also, instead of a regular pony tail, try a side braid to lock up your hair from the weather :)


With Love,
Nikki


Song of the Month

Hello Luvies!

I know we've been slacking on song of the month lately n I apologize. I've been really busy graduating college and moving halfway across the world n setting my whole life up again that I haven't had much time to blog. I am currently half way set up so I should be able to blog a little more. In the meantime enjoy Chris Brown's techno-ey song featuring Seven. My sister didn't really like it but I'm a techno junkie n i do :)



With Love,

Breakfast at Tiffany's

So after a much needed mani & pedi, me and my friend Haya fromalluringdistraction headed to YogBerry for some frozen yogurt, it was my first time there and i LOVED it, I took Mango Papaya and Mixed Berry flavors topped off with raspberries and blackberries it was DELICIOUS!
We then headed to her house to watch *drumroll* Breakfast at Tiffany's =D Ive been wanting to see that movie ever since I knew about Audrey Hepburn and I finally watched it! It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but I still enjoyed Audrey Hepburn's performance.
Haya painted her nails Tiffany Blue, it was perfect timing :p

I painted my nails Orange! :)

Thank You Crafty Critique!

So Madison over at Crafty Critique stopped by today to drop off these lovelies :) They are flowers that she has made and decided to giveaway after she went crazy making a ton of them :p She had a giveaway where you would tell her what you would use the flowers for and she would mail you one! Since she lives 10 minutes away, she decided to drop them off instead. Anyways I told her that I'd turn them into hair pieces and now that I physically have them, thats exactly what I am going to do. Perfect hair piece for a summer outfit. 
Thank you again Madison! :) 


Lovely Flowers
With Love, Reem
