The Weekend Special!

This week we were busy making weekend plans that involved boating and beaching! The first of those antics of the season, for that matter. And since a weekend of lounging about in the sun came completely unexpected, I’ve put together my fool-proof guide on how to fake your beach ready lifestyle like it ain’t no thang! Get ready to step out of winter hibernation and into the carefree wilds of summer! Nothing better. Weekend Special Boating

The Main Players:

1. MAC “Skin Sheen Leg Spray” (here) - In my teen years I lived by this as a “here for one day only” temporary tan. Unless you’re an arctic swim-enthusiast I’d say we don’t need to worry about any accidental vanishing tan incidents,  so this is the perfect option to build an insta-tan. Of course, I stand by St. Tropez for a long-term tanning commitment … a lifestyle I fully encourage.

2. Steve Madden “Xtrime Wedges” (here) - Because a fabulous boating shoe is A) A practical necessity and B) really gives your sporting/lounging look that extra ounce of cool. *May be met with resistance from certain male-types who lack a certain je ne cais basic understanding of this concept.

3. Cool Change Sarong (here): So here’s the thing. When it’s not quite full-on swim weather, you can play with a bit of trickery by way of wardrobe. If you haven’t been self-tanning all winter, you certainly don’t have time to get a full-body glow going on before the weekend, but you can most definitely pretend you do! Wear it as a dress (tie around your neck for a halter-dress) and a sarong looks both St. Tropez-chic, while also showing off your “tan.” Nobody needs to know that said tan only occurs on half your body.

4. Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Face (here) – Is it just me or is that name an unnecessary and rambly way of saying its self tanner for your face? Anyway, totally obsessed with this product. I refuse to use pretty much every facial self-tanner, but this is super natural and glow-y and won’t cause a teenage acne outbreak. Werrrrk.

4. Coconut Oil: I have a love letter all about Coconut Oil coming soon, but until then, I’ll leave you with one piece of wisdom  achieve beach-y waves by using coconut oil as your styling product. Work in a small amount to your ends and work upwards to add texture and extreme  shine to your waves. Plus it doubles as a repairing agent to any damage. Oh and you’ll smell heavenly … best.

5. Nars Bronzer in “Laguna” (here) – I’ve written about this product before and will continue  until the end of time … when it comes to powdered bronzer, it just doesn’t get better. A day in the sun hidden behind giant sunnies  is the perfect time to create an epic cheekbone moment and this is the perfect way to do that. I love this because it’s not too shimmer-y or glimmer-y and just creates a very natural, deep looking tan.

6. Accessorize Gatsby Polka Dot Cloche hat (here): A hat is the master of all trickery. I swear, you throw on a hat and without fail you’ll score extra chic points from all your fans. Or friends. So even if you’re feeling less than beach-ready, you’ll instantly look the part.

7. River Island CatEye Sunnies (here): Because if all else fails, a pair of gold sunglasses won’t let you down. You just can’t question a girl in gold sunglasses. Trust. And if someone does, a hair flip and a “____ hair, don’t care” will suffice.

Okay, hopefully I haven’t forgotten anything! Have a fabulous weekend,

Addendum!

VEET

Totally just realized I forgot a critical component to this plan: VEET! Duh…. as a hair-free enthusiast, I don’t know how this slipped my mind. Got a little carried away with tanning I think. Anyway, this in-shower removal cream is the easiest, hassle free way of taking care of any winter overgrowth situations. Have fun!
