Hey!
I just got back from the Hamptons. After spending a while tanning, playing in the sand, and swimming in the ocean, I think I might have the beach look down pat, and so do celebrities. Do you? If not, read on for head to toe essentials.
Hair: Think beachy waves are the only style acceptable? You’re wrong. Now, Katniss side-plaits, bitty buns, high ponys, and my personal favorite, tiny little braids randomly woven in are making an entrance.
Blake Lively
To get this: Put texturing spray in dry or wet hair. Then, take five small pieces (at minimum) and braid, then secure them. Finish the look of with hair mousse to help your curls.
Face/makeup: At the seashore, a minimal look is key, so all you need to shine (no pun intended) is nude gloss and a little glittery blush/shadow.
Michelle Trachtenberg
To get this: Use a lip and cheek stain to give yourself a little color. Than, mix a few neutral eye shadows. Add a little metallic sparkle, some mascara and powder, and voila! Hello, gorgeous!
Neck{lace}: When wearing a neutral suit, a big and bright necklace can complete your look. But be careful! If any of the outfit, cover-up included, is colorful or geo printed, then a big accessory can be overkill.
Solange Knowles
Get the look with this silver multi-row bead collar necklace
Outfit: A cover-up is obviously necessary, but who says dresses are the only option? Light cardigans and button-down, over any bathing suit, are just as cute.
Kate Moss
-Get the look: Whether tied up or left down, buttoned or not, this shirt over a classic white bikini is sure to put all eyes on you.
Nails: Who says your outfit is the only thing is the only thing that can stand out? With matching nails in a cool print, your hands may just steal the show.
Zooey Deschanel
Get the look: Paint nails all white (or any color) , then let dry. Use a nail pen to color the tips black (or, again, any color). Draw 3 small dots down from the center of your nail, and a small bow-tie under the last dot. Let dry, then cover your nails with a top coat.
Shoes: Anything waterproof will work. Flipflops and gladiators are especially cute. Even though I love them, please leave your heels at home!
Can’t go wrong with Haviannas!
