Lipstick Lifestyle

Hot and humid days that turn into rainy, chilly evenings can cause many wardrobe malfunctions as, and we hate to say it, summer turns to fall. But sometimes we get lucky and find a piece that is so versatile that it carries us through from one season to the next, many, many times.

The Tonal Drawstring Tunic from Armani Exchange just happens to be one of those pieces. Available in sizes x-small to x-large, it can be worn as either a top or a tunic and both on or off the shoulders. Front pockets and a low drawstring create a blousy effect that floats away from the body. Available in rosewater and blue ice and paired with jeans or tights, the look is universally flattering.

We love summer and the hot weather and the cute clothes that come with it, but sometimes a tank top just doesn’t cut it as your outfit of choice. That’s why we’re loving this flirty little blouse from H&M (available in sizes 2-12). It adds a certain breeziness to your wardrobe with it’s ruffled cap-sleeve, pretty bow tie and delicate buttons.

It’s the perfect piece to take you from an office meeting to cocktails on the patio after work. Pair it with jeans or a cute pencil skirt and you’ll be sure to turn heads with your summer glow and easy breezy style.

And isn’t purple a royal colour?

How would you like to treat “bacne” while looking cute and sporty? The clever people at SUN:SOUL have done just that by developing a way to harness the power of the sun’s healthy, healing rays while protecting against harmful UV exposure.

blumöd, a collection of stylish sporty tops and hats, are made with a revolutionary technology that isolates and amplifies the sun’s natural blue light, offering you an improvement on the appearance of troubled skin.

The special fabric triggers a process called Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT), in which blue light reacts with tiny molecules generated by skin bacteria, called porphyrins, mixing it with oxygen to suppress bacterial growth. You only need to have your blumöd item on for a few hours a week to see an improvement in the appearance of your skin. Wear it for your daily power walk with the pooch or while out-and-about doing your daily duties.

In addition to looking stylin’ and easing those pesky pimples, these clever garments and accessories provide an additional barrier to harmful UV rays with a UPF of 50+.

Available in long sleeved shirt (XS-XL), unisex shirt (XS-XXL), and also a sun hat (M-L), sport visor (OS) and baseball cap (OS)
