One of the hottest trends for this summer are maxi dresses. Being both comfortable and versatile, a maxi dress is going to be one of the best pieces for you to spend your cash on this summer. With so many different styles available, how is one to choose? One of my favorite styles of maxi dresses are those that feature graphic and tribal prints. It helps keep the dress from being too basic and cuts down the need for accessories. This makes graphic print maxi dresses, such as these Graphic Print Maxi Dresses From T-Bags, your perfect go-to look for summer.

My favorite out of all of the styles offered by T-Bags is the Braided Tie Triangle Halter Dress. The cut makes it possible for it to be the perfect casual dress for the day by throwing on some t-strap or gladiator style sandals, large sunglasses, and natural hair and make up. However, it can also be dressed up for nighttime wear with some patent leather sandals and a patent leather clutch. This dress comes in three different patterns and shades. All of which would be the perfect statement piece for your summer wardrobe. From left to right, pictured above, the colors are : Taupe, Glacier, and Chili. These dresses are available through Revolve Clothing, here.

While days spend at the beach or by the pool mean that you want a quick and easy make up routine, it doesn’t mean that you don’t also want to look naturally flawless either. In fact, just a few cosmetic items can really help you look put together and stunning while still looking like you don’t have a drop of make up on your face. Read on for some Tips For Flawless Natural Make Up.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make any time of the year is not properly prepping their skin for make up. Start with freshly cleansed and moisturized skin. Make sure that you are using a facial moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15. Or, mix a small amount of sun block in with your moisturizer of choice. Protecting your skin against the harmful rays of the sun is one of the best ways that you can help keep it looking gorgeous.

Applying a thin layer of foundation primer after your moisturizer is a great step. Primers not only help your make up go on smoother and easier, but they also help it last longer without re-application. This makes them perfect for warm summer days when the last thing you want to do is worry about touching up your make up. My personal favorite is Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer.

While foundation will be too heavy for many occasions, a good tinted moisturizer is great to have on hand. Tinted moisturizers have all the benefits of foundation (evening out your complexion, warding off shine, etc.) while looking completely natural. I’ve heard that Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer is one of the best tinted moisturizers on the market out there. Personally, I prefer to mix liquid foundation with my regular moisturizer. Not only does this ensure that I know how my skin will react to the moisturizer, but it also allows me to customize the coverage level. Want something that’s easy to toss into your purse for touch ups? Pick up Benefit Some Kind-A Gorgeous Foundation Faker. Read my review if you like, but know that I don’t leave home without it.

One cult product that I had yet to try was NARS Lip Gloss. It’s also been named a Best of Sephora product as well as a Best of Beauty product by Allure Magazine. NARS advertises that this gloss is very shiny and highly pigmented. Both claims are true. It’s also incredibly moisturizing and lasts for hours. Another thing that I loved is that it’s not a sticky gloss. To me, there’s nothing worse than walking down the street and having your hair get stuck in your gloss every 10 seconds. Thankfully, that doesn’t happen with this NARS gloss. The gloss also comes with a sponge tipped wand applicator, that is easy to use and not at all messy.

The shade that I purchased is Orgasm, which is a great peachy-pink color. After buying this gloss, I believe that I’ve found my new signature gloss. I’m just bummed that my Sephora didn’t have the Orgasm Lip Gloss And Nail Polish Gift Set, which is a Sephora exclusive. You can pick some up on the official NARS website, here, or from Sephora, here.

In my recent ventures into celebrity style outfits, there was one person whose pictures I kept seeing on the web who continued to impress me with their effortless style - Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz. Some of you are probably scratching your heads right now, trying to figure out the appeal, right? Wentz’s style is comfortable, effortless, and, best of all, unisex. Even he has admitted to snagging items from wife Ashlee Simpson’s wardrobe to wear himself. I loved what he was wearing in the picture above, and it’s something that I would wear myself. Hopefully some of you guys like it as well.

Start by layering a basic tank, like the Forever 21 Pocket Racerback Tank in Blue underneath a great button up woven shirt. I love the Abercrombie & Fitch Greta Shirt in Plaid and thought that it was perfect for this look. Wentz is wearing skinny jeans in the picture above, but I found some great straight leg jeans that would be perfect. They are the Forever 21 Chloe Straight Leg Jean in Grey. The Vans Abby Boat Shoe in Navy are also the perfect match for this look. Don’t want to spend the cash on the Vans but want the look? Pick up the Forever 21 Catalina Canvas Sneaker. Given the time of year, cute knit hats are hard to find. I loved the idea of wearing the Urban Outfitters Knit Cabbie Hat in Hunter with this outfit though. It’s casual but also a classic style. I’d add in one funky menswear styled accessory, such as the Dean Leather Buckle Watch in Grey to complete this look.

The make up featured in the post Beauty Trends From Alberta Ferretti’s Fall Runway and some messy flat ironed hair would look great. Try straightening your hair with a flat iron, then tousle with some pomade or texturizing mouse.
