The Everything Issue
T
he title says it all. The July 2013 issue is going to show you a bit of everything that is out there right now. With so many fantastic colors, prints, cuts and styles out on the web, our fingers couldn’t browse fast enough. Every time we clicked on a new page there was a new item to lust after whether it was the Lanvin snakeskin wedges featured on our Editors’ Picks page, or the See by Chloé duffle bag in our Make a Splash story. The list just seems to go on and on and on. Also, we are very excited to have the accomplished and talented Stylist, Joiee Thorpe, joining us as a guest editor for this issue. Not only does she have a brilliant sense of fashion, but she has also made a big mark in the television world. You can spot Joiee’s work on shows such as the Today Show and Good Morning America. In this issue, she’s going to be showing you some of the hottest things this season that you must pack for your upcoming getaways. You will definitely want to check it out.

Summer hair products our staff can’t live without! John Frieda Go Blonder Collection, $12.99 “It gives me professional hair care at home and can lighten my look up to 1-2 shades. These products add natural-looking highlights for a perfect, sun-kissed look.” – Hellie
Kérastase Noctogenist Voile Nuit Revitalizing Treatment $77.00 “The lightweight leave-in treatment works overnight to repair damage, restore moisture and boost shine. Not only does my hair feel soft, smooth, silky and completely manageable when I wake up, but it also smells amazing! “ – Holly
Morrocanoil Treatment Oil $42 “I LOVE this product. I put it in wet hair, then style and my hair is super shiny and healthy. I also love their restorative hair mask!” – Joiee
Alterna Bamboo Beach Sun Recovery Spray, $20 “My ultra-highlighted hair needs some extra TLC in the summer sun, so this leave-in conditioner spray is a great way to help protect from UV rays and keep my color bright and non-brassy. It also smells deliciously tropical and coconut-y!” – Stephanie
Schwarzkopf OSiS + Dust It Powder, $22 “This mattifying powder blew my mind. I love how easily it texturizes my hair and gives it instant volume. Just remember that a little goes a long way.” – Joyce 3

Haute Handbags: The 4 Pu
#1
The Trendy Tote – It’s no surprise that a tote will top the list of
summer must haves, what with the simple structure and timeless design. This time around, designers added playful twists to the basic tote, such as punchy colors, contrasting tones (hello black and white!), sophisticated shoppers, beachwear essentials and textural leathers. Stylist tip – If you’re still digging color-blocking at much as we are, opt for a monochromatic tote to complete the look. Jason Wu $943
Charlotte Olympia $966
Charlotte Olympia $1262

The Mighty Mighty Minimalist – One thing is for certain – a minimalist bag will get you through this summer. It’s versatile and classic with a smooth leather look and one color note. Plus, it’ll be your go-to bestie when you’re in a pinch, especially when you need a quick wardrobe fix from day to night or when you find yourself searching for the perfect accessory to complement your new sexy LBD. Furla $428

The Mini Must Have - In case you were wondering what the
chicest piece of arm candy will be this summer, let it be said- the pill box clutch. The boxy shape and miniature structure make this small handheld stunner achingly cool and utterly crush-worthy. Look for geometric patterns, sequined designs, eclectic prints, Perspex styles and trendy hardware to really make this statement clutch stand out. Miu Miu $1195
Burberry $650
Jason Wu $1202

The Covetable Carry-all – We’re working girls. We’re jet-setters. We’re sisters, cousins, aunts and friends on-the-go meeting for brunches, attending wedding showers and popping in for an after-work cocktail. So, clearly our purse needs to match our fast-paced, busy lifestyle. And a carryall is the only one that can literally hold all of it (yes, even the most random of items!) This season the best of the bunch feature detachable clutches for evening, unexpected fabrics and summery prints. 21
