I refuse to accept that summer is winding down, and since I will not let go of the warm weather I'm also not letting go of one of my favorite spring/summer trends: Aztec. I love any trend with a hint of bohemian influence in it, so the combination of neutral shades mixed with bold distinct tribal patterns are my current obsession. Here are some of my favorite ways to do Aztec.

Spring is officially in full effect, and summer will be just around the corner - which means it's hardcore sunglass season. While I am a big fan of following sunglass trends I still hold true to the idea that the trend has to compliment your features, otherwise what's the point?!

Some of the hot trends this summer may seem intimidating, but fear not fashionistas there are frames for everyone. I've combed through ton of sunglasses and picked a few (yes there were more favorites I just couldn't fit here) of my favorite trendy frames & mixed in a couple tried-and-true styles to give you my must-have sunglasses for spring/summer 2011.

Cat Eye Inspired by the dolls of the 1950's, an outfit wasn't complete until topped off by a purfect pair of frames. My cat eye picks include: Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 'Chelsea', Elizabeth and James 'Fairfax', and Chloë Sevigny For Opening Ceremony 'Darling'.

John Lennon Trend is inspired by the icon himself, John Lennon, and the sunglasses he was so famous for wearing. Defined by the smaller, round circular style, which is not easy for all to wear; but for those who do - the statement is universally recognizable. I personally can't get away with this style so my nod to the trend is my House of Harlow 1960 'Sasha' sunglasses, or The Row 'Round-frame acetate'.

Even though it sure doesn't feel like spring here on the east coast quite yet there is no time like the present to cure those dry chapped lips that winter has left us with. Dry skin & lips are two of my most dreaded beauty problems through the winter because both problems are so sever for me.

Very few products even make a dent on my dry skin during the height of winter, let alone cure it. So when I find products that I truly felt made a difference for me I feel compelled to pass along the wisdom.

Here is my run down of some of my favorite products that make winter bearable & lipstick more wearable.

I am huge fan of Bobbi Brown cosmetics because of the ease of use, high quality, and fantastic results. Brown herself also promotes such a healthy message to the makeup community & women in general.

Below I have picked some of my favorite items that I use daily, especially the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. Currently I use Black Ink (black) & Sepia Ink (brown) as my go-to eyeliner for myself, as well as in my kit.

It's long lasting and smudge, tear, sweat, water-proof formula makes it a no brainer for weddings & special events. I also love Bobbi Brown's color correcter, concealer, and foundation/finishing powder to create that signature flawless Bobbi Brown complexion.
