Mousse Hair Gel & Spray

It's Blogger Tuesday, fashionistas! And as always, maybe even more than always, I am stoked to introduce you to today's blogger-with-flair, Ms. Whitney of a toast. This gal's got it all--style, charm, wit, sass and class. Plus, she blogs about her life as an ex-NYC resident who flitted on down to Memphis to take on her dream job as Director of Communications of a sorority. (Could she be more fun? Obviously not. I wish I was that fun...) If you do one thing today, check out her hilarious blog. I'm so serious.Okay, well technically you have two things on the agenda today. Read on about Whitney's awesome style and then check out her blog. You won't be disappointed.Invest in a wrap dress. The most universally flattering frock known to womankind, you must find a way to get a fabulous wrap dress into your closet. Whitney's gorgeous-and-sleek silvery dress is a versatile and super-pretty option that will take you from summer with heels, to winter with a pair of stockings and a blazer. Anything this versatile goes beyond a want. It's a need. A must-have!Get bold with your bag this summer. No wallflower bags this season, ladies! Go bright and bold with an oversize tote in a vivid hue, like Whitney's plum carryall. If you're not one to wear a whole lot of color, then start with a bag. It's the least scary item in which you can get a little daring. From electric blue to leopard, patchwork to graffiti, anything goes this season.Try the less-is-more accessory approach. I used to OD on accessories for the sake of having a little fun with my outfits. But lately, I've been all about the no-fuss, less-is-more look. I love that Whitney's just sporting a single bold bracelet, and keeps her neckline clean and elegant to show off her feminine collarbone. It's definitely a look you should try, especially for evening wear (stars like Mila Kunis and Sandra Bullock rocked the style on the Oscar red carpet this year!). Simplicity is chic this season.Waves are summer-approved! I'm not big on straight hair in the summer, unless it's your natural texture (few of us are blessed with stick-straight locks!). For warm weather, I think softer is best, like Whitney's loose, flowing waves. For everyday, scrunch a little volumizing mousse through your locks and let air dry. If you're going out, let hair air dry sans product to keep the natural oils intact, and then curl with hot rollers for a look similar to Whitney's.That's all, folks! Follow these tips and you've got a winning summer formula. Okay. Now go check out Whitney's blog!Image Source: Courtesy of Whitney @ a toast. ... more
