Beach Bag Ready?

The summer is almost here, and the beach is calling! For any woman that cares for their image, they won't despise their look at the beach. Either at the lake, or the park, or wherever you need to have a beach bag handy to get you through the day, check these essentials to keep you looking fabulous, but not overdone and yet, still looking flawless.

Here are my favorites:


a. A gorgeous swimsuit is mandatory. For those that want to show more skin, and a good breast support, this Mara Hoffman bikini is absolutey amazing. Prints are a must and this has the perfect embroidered exotic style and removable straps. Seen here.

b. The wide brim of a '70s-glam straw hat protects your face and from the sun and looks very sexy. This floppy hat could be an option.

c. Water is essential to keep you hydrated. Always carry it around in this Red Bobble(r) Water Bottle from here.

d. Carry everything in style and forget about the leather bag. A straw tote bag is perfect for the beach. Try this one from J Crew.

e. This might be the most essential pick for your bag! Skin protection! Swap your superthick formulas for a light, but superbly effective, sunscreen. This one from Kiehl's does the job perfectly.

f. Keep you lips covered and protected with a nice tinted lip from Burt's Bee's.

g. You should avoid wearing makeup at the beach, but a little boost to your eyes give you the glam look. Always go for a waterproof mascara to avoid smudged dark eyes. Try this one from Covergirl - LashBlast Volume Mega Volume Waterproof.

h. The best hairstyle for the summer? Natural beach waves. For a little assistance creating perfectly relaxed ripples, spritz hair with Fekkai Marine Summer Hair Beach Waves and scrunch with your fingers.

i. To keep everything organized in your bag, keep your personal belongings or cosmetics in this cute pouch bag.

j. Oversize frames like these from Tom Ford aren't merely stylish—they also keep the delicate skin around your eyes protected from aging UV rays.

k. Forget the big, heavy beach towel. Go for a light and easy to pack scarf or pareo. Not only let's you lay on it but covers you in a cooler after day from the beach or you can just wear it as a skirt.

l. The perfect footwear, should be comfy and flat for the beach - Jute Upper Beach Sandal from Zara

Up in the clouds.

My current favorite nail polish right now is the Revlon Top Speed Cloud! I just love it's pastel bluish slightly lavender shade.
Have it on my nails, love it and can't wait to go out showing off my toes in some nice open sandals! (Please warm weather come over to my side).

This set evolves around the theme and this light shade of blue is just perfect for a warm day! Breezy and light:

Eco fashion is hot!

Today on earth day, the consciousness of making an effort to live in a better world come up. There shouldn't be one day without making a stand and trying to improve our routine and options to help our earth becoming better from human harm. 
We can all make a stand, specially on fashion. Sustainability is something important that allows people to combine style with respect for nature, and how to look good and not lose any integrity.

So what does it mean "eco-fashion"? No, not walking around there looking like a jungle woman... it refers  to a method of designing and making clothes that use environmentally friendly fabrics and responsible production techniques.
More and more designers are using this method. It’s not only designers like Stella McCartney and Noir who have a conscience, even affordable brands like Topshop, Marks and Spencers, and H&M are going organic (and have been for some time).

It should be more than a trend. It should be part of our daily lives... So keep in mind: Green is the new black!



a. The word Ela means Mother Earth in Sanskrit, and is the label name of an organic and sustainable fashion label produced, designed and developed in New Delhi, India. The collection, designed by Joyjit Talukdar, was launched by the Creative Group at New Delhi Fashion Week, and features organic un-dyed and unbleached cotton, in combination with milk and bamboo jersey
b. Recycled Sterling Silver Ring
c. Drink from tap water and get rid of the plastic bottles. This bottle is a great project
d. Fairtrade & Organic cotton mini skirt by Annie Greenabelle at Topshop
e., g., i. Pieces from the H&M Conscious Collection. Everything is recycled and organic.
f. Opal Clutch  by Mad Imports
h. Organic lipstick Nvey Eco
j. OlsenHaus recycled Babylon flat
