In the summer I’m all about rocking a cute dress whether its day or night. It’s almost too hot to wear anything else! So I wanted to share a favorite summer look that I wore to a charity event recently. This pretty in pink dress is short, flirty and feminine with cut out details on the side for a little hint of sexy. Pair it with high heels for a night on the town or some sparkly flats for day. And while we’re at it, lets talk about my new favorite summer hairstyle – the crown braid! I’ve been wearing my hair natural and its so long plus does not cooperate well with summer humidity so it’s the perfect style to keep my hair off my neck and I don’t have to worry about too much about my hair frizzing up in the hot weather. Here’s a great tutorial on how to create this braided doo and be sure to check the links below to see what I’m wearing plus some of the beauty products my go-to makeup artist Renee used to get this makeup look!
