August is here in a literal blaze of glory. Well, glory is stretching it a bit because I don’t recall saying so many derogatory words about other glorious occurrences. We’ve spent more in the last two summers getting new air conditioner parts than the price of a pony-hair Dolce & Gabbana handbag, and the purse is WAY cuter than the dang a/c unit. Probably not as cool.

So what are we to do with this heat wave and piercing sun rays? Protect of course!
Sunscreen is a must. Moisturizer with sunscreen, foundation with sunscreen. You can even mist your face later with a sunscreen.

Finally, wear a hat if you are really going to protect your face. After seeing how much it’s going to cost to treat the sunspots I have from years of sunscreen free swimming as a youth, ugh! Who knew a dang hat could have saved me so much! This and other cute, physician endorssed hats available at Dermadoctor.com.

Lastly…one hot outift for this crazy heat:

I love this halter top at Dillards, $68. Just a bit of beaded decor at the top, but a light-weight little number, in this lapis color or black.

Several other halter style tops there that I liked by Michael Kors and BCBGMAXAZRIA. Keep cool, look hot.

Check back tomorrow for more ways to beat the heat, the UV rays, and look great doing so!
