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.

Are You Team Mineral Or Chemical?

The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to be good to your skin. I am most certainly team mineral, and avoid chemicals wherever possible. If you get sun poisoning like my family has a tendency to do, it is most likely the chemicals in your sunscreen.
