It has hit a high of 88 degrees in NYC this weekend and humid! In this kind of weather it is hard to put together an outfit that is cute and pulled together but also keeps you cool in the sweltering heat. Here is what I have put together to do just that. Flowy white breathable skirt Sheer Illustion Belted Striped Maxi by Baby Phat, Ocean Palace Bustier from Modcloth.com, Vintage Sunglasses Topshop, Jewel Not Clutch Nine West and TOMS Savannah Wedge.

I came across this playful photoshoot by Alice + Olivia. So fun and cute! And it really makes the clothes pop.
Red Flower Natural Luxurious Hair Products
I recently had the chance to try Red Flower's natural hair products. I was first introduced to Red Flower at a hotel in Arizona called Valley Ho where they had red flower body wash in the shower. Red Flower makes fabulous smelling products that are all natural. Red Flower does a great job of creating a natural product line that still feels luxurious. And the Italian Blood Orange Cleansing Hair Wash and Softening Hair Conditioner are no exception to that rule. I have fine hair and wash my hair everyday so finding a shampoo that doesn't weigh down my hair and keeps it shiny can be challenging. I am really impressed by Red Flower's hair products and love the refreshing scent of the Blood Orange.
Mother's Day Fashion Lolly Clothing
We are so excited about Lolly clothings latest fashion collection. Lolly is the perfect pairing of city edginess and bohemian comfort—our favorite! The Lucy Dress is one of my favorite pieces from the collection. It is super soft and flowy with luminous colors and pattern. We chose to style the Lucy Dress for all of those moms out there for Mother's Day in two ways. One for the working mom and one for the stay at home mom. Here are our two looks.

Navy and Pink: Great Color Combination
I absolutely love the color combinations in this outfit. The navy blue dress perfectly punctuates the hot pink flowers and mint green accents. And the dark blue nail polish pulls it all. I have got to go search my closet now for navy and hot pink.

Pink Hair
I have to admit I have been strangely attracted to the latest hair color phenomenon...pink hair. I think it works especially well on blond and strawberry blond hair like the ones pictured here and it definitely screams rebel so unless you are in a creative field you may not be able to pull it off.
Polka Dot Fashion
Vintage inspired polka dots are so fun. This polka dot skirt in denim with the big bow and Sonia Rykiel sunglasses make for such a cute look.
