Here Comes The Sun

{ Via J. Crew }

Are you ready for it? I LOVE the sun! The Vitamin D does wonders for the body and soul. But we need to be careful by using "Mineral" based SPF. The toxic chemicals in chemical sunscreen can be absorbed into your bloodstream. You don't want that. This post is filled with everything under the sun: sunscreen, sunglasses, sundresses and the tools to fake a sunkissed glow.

Temple Square Sunglasses
Make a sunny statement in these for under $40.

Anthropologie

Cropped Linen Side Tie Pant

I noramlly don't go for a cropped pant, but these are a decent length. What I like best is that "paper bag" waist. It's a cute touch.

Club Monaco

Burberry Sunglasses

Gilt is having a three day sale on designer sunnies. Most are $100 and under. These were  $308, and now are $100.

Though they make different kinds of mineral sunscreen, it is the brush on powder that people love. It makes a lot of sense.

This self tanner is at the top of the charts for best tanning product. I finally tried it last year. LOVED it! I will be using it again this Summer. It's so easy to use, without a scent, and never once did it turn orange. I recommend trying the $20 travel kit.
