Meeeoww

It's a jungle out there, my little urban kittens, and when the pavement gets cooking, so should you.  Look to the safari (read:  YSL and Elie Tahari) for inspiration and breeze through the heat in an airy white shirt, linen-blend shorts and strappy flats.  A python-print clutch and cat-eye sunnies (meeeowww!) add just enough jungle boogie to your bounce. Bare your beautiful feline features with a touch of tinted moisturizer, a hint of gloss and a coat of waterproof mascara and you'll be ready to explore - from the bustling city streets to the sandswept shore.  Anyone want to lend me a Jeep?

On a day like today, I wish I could dive into a pool full of icy cold water and spend all day splashing around in it. This week, I'm going to avoid heavy blacks, hot reds and rich oranges and instead, turn to my cool hues and bright blues for a sartorial respite from the heat.  This look from Zara isn't new but it's refreshing just the same.  Ideally, I'll be wearing white all week but I love the idea of adding a pop of cool Pippa blue over top when I head indoors for another drink.  Silver sandals and a great metallic silver cuff will keep you looking totally chilled out.  Ahhh...
