The weather has become sultry and steamy here in Victoria.  We’re smack in the middle of a heat wave, and every day seems to get hotter than the last.  My favourite way to beat the heat?  With a slinky slip, light makeup and beachy hair.

I am wearing:

– White satin slip (thrifted from Friperie in Fitzroy)

– Black flatforms from Big W

– Cubic zirconia heart studs (Nana’s)

– Hammered silver bangle (birthday present from my friend Adam)

– “Love” ring (thrifted)

– Rectangle silver ring

-Silver band ring (thrifted)

When the weather warms up, my fine hair has a tendency to get lank and wilted.  I’ve started embracing texturizing sprays to give it a bit more pep.  I just spray a little onto dry hair, give it a scrunch and then marvel and my soft, hippie-inspired waves.  It’s the easiest summer ‘do going round.  I also love texturizing sprays for giving my hair a bit more shape when I’m putting it into a bun or a loose braid.  It makes the hair go all choppy and chunky, like sexy bed waves.  Gorgeous.

I kept my makeup very relaxed, just a bit of tinted moisturizer, lipgloss and bronzer.  I’m in love with creme eyeshadows at the moment, and this molten bronze one is perfect for smudging over the lids for a carefree shadow.

In my view, keeping your outfits simple, sexy and unfussy is the best way to deal with super-hot days.  What do you think?
