]]> Are you ready for hot girl summer yet? It is time to prepare for a summer full of parties, fun with friends, and confidence. This summer, we’ve found the best products and items to live your best life.

Blazer

A blazer is a classic fashion must-have, not just for the office. Oversized blazers with biker shorts or just a white tee with a pastel blazer – this staple adds style to every outfit and makes you feel powerful and confident. There are many fits and colours and patterns to choose from: Try a classic white blazer for a chic and sophisticated look or a cropped pastel blazer for a spring and summer outfit.

Hoops

Love them or hate them – the hoop is going nowhere! Whether you opt for overstated or understated, hoop earrings are a great accessory to add an extra touch of bling when you’re on the go.

Scarf

Models like Gigi Hadid love hair accessories like a scarf. Hair accessories from the ‘60s seem to have a comeback, and we are here for it. Hair scarves give you the glamours, and chic Old Hollywood look while also protecting your hair from sun and wind or concealing a bad hair day.

Beats Earphones

Earphones are a Hot Girl Summer essential! Whether listening to Lizzo’s recent song or a crime podcast, earphones are perfect for long walks, working out in the gym or relaxing on the beach. We love Beats for their great noise-cancellation and audio quality, so you can always focus on your music or podcast without getting interrupted. They also come in fun colours to match your aesthetic and have great battery life.

Amina Muaddi Shoes

The half Romanian and half Jordanian designer just knows what we want. Her fun shoes “break all rules of footwear” with architectural shapes, crystals, and bold colours give you an instant main character feeling. Known for their sophisticated and elegant heels and mules, they are a must-have for every girl.

Gems Bag

Every hot girl needs a hot bag to carry her essentials and makeup around when meeting friends or dancing at parties. What is more desirable than a bag embellished with gems and crystals? These eye-catching bags elevate every outfit and let you outshine everyone else. The Dolce&Gabanna tote bag is bold and eye-catching yet sophisticated and elegant. If you want more trendy, go for the viral Prada Cleo satin bag and make everyone jealous.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses not only protect your eyes from UV rays. They also give you an elegant and mysterious look and elevate every outfit. It is important to find sunglasses that compliment your face, so be mindful of the shape and colour of your new it-piece. We love the cat-eye silhouettes as they flattering on almost every face, for example the Saint Lauren New Wave Lily sunglasses.

Sexy Black Dress

The little black dress is the ultimate wardrobe staple for a reason. They are sophisticated, elegant and always trendy. You can never go wrong with a black dress, whether you go to brunch or to a party. Here are our favourite picks:

Mini Perfume

A hot girl is always on the go. To make sure you smell good during your Hot Girl Summer always carry a mini perfume in your handbag to refresh your fragrance and always smell amazing.

Travel Charger

There is nothing worse than a dead phone. How are you supposed to take photos of your fantastic outfit? How can you text your friends? How can you call an Uber after a night out? Always be prepared and carry a travel charger in your purse to charge your phone in emergencies.

SPF

We all know how important sun protection is. Always apply a good amount of suncream in the morning before leaving the house and reapply it every two hours. You can use a SPF mist that won’t ruin your makeup but still protects you from UV rays if you are wearing makeup.

Waterproof Mascara

Waterproof mascara makes sense. There is no worse look than mascara streaks running down your face. Whether sweating in the gym or swimming on a hot day, your mascara should stay in place without smudging. Try the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Waterproof Mascara for clean and smudge-free makeup that survives every situation.

Sandals

Shoes you can wear to the beach, brunch, parties, and walks? Sandals allow your feet to breath in warm weather and look stylish. You can dress them up in the evening with a luxurious dress and handbag, or dress them down during the day with a flowy summer dress.

Shorts

As Hot Girls are always on the run, they need fashionable and practical clothes at the same time. While skirts and dresses restrict our movements, shorts are comfortable and carefree. In combination with an elegant blouse, they can look feminine. You can pair them with a crop top and a blazer for a trendy look.

Swimwear

Swimwear is a big part of a Hot Girl’s wardrobe. Hot, sexy or elegant – we found swimwear for everyone to flatter your body.

Face Gems

You can’t go wrong with adding fun elements to your summer makeup look, and face gems are perfect for this. Whether you’re going to a festival, the beach or a party, face gems are sure to make a statement all whilst looking glamorous.

]]> It’s official! Lizzo’s new album ‘Special’ is coming and if her first single from the album (released this week) is anything to judge by, it’s set to be her most nostalgic and feel-good work yet. Dropping just yesterday, the first single released from the 3x Grammy award-winning singer’s album was a 70s disco-inspired track named “About Damn Time”. The track’s name was ironically fitting as we have been long awaiting the star’s new work since her recent hiatus.

After teasing us about the release of her new empowering single on the Late Late Show earlier this month, the track’s full music video dropped yesterday- and it didn’t disappoint! In a humorous scene, Lizzo’s new video opens with the star sitting in a ‘stressed and sexy’ support group where the star is called upon to recite a poem about being, well, stressed and sexy. The video then cuts to Lizzo in a royal blue sequined jumpsuit with ultra bouncy 70s-inspired curls that match the track’s nostalgic disco, funk-pop sound.

The star is notorious for music that inspires listeners to love themselves, a message that oozes from ‘About Damn Time’s hopeful lyrics. Opening the song with lyrics ‘it’s bad bitch o’ clock’, it’s clear from the first second of listening to this tune that it’s set to be the empowering soundtrack to our upcoming ‘hot girl summer’. To celebrate the release of her new track, the star is set to host and perform her song on NBC’s upcoming Saturday Night Live show this month. Lizzo’s feature on the show will make her one of the few superstars to perform and host SNL simultaneously and she will become the third black female to perform both duties in the show’s history.

But, it’s not just through her television feats that Lizzo has been promoting the launch of her new single. Posting to Instagram just yesterday, the star treated her followers to a short clip from ‘About Damn Time’s’ music video, admitting that she put her whole ‘Lizzussy into this one’. The news of the track’s launch on Lizzo’s Instagram (unsurprisingly) had the star’s followers thrilled as her comment section was filled with congratulations and commendations, even big names on the platform like Shirlene Quigley were impressed by the song, commenting ‘it’s so good! I love it’.

It’s clear the singer meant what she said about not holding back in her new song! Not only has Lizzo released a new album this month, but she has also treated us with the release of her new shapewear line ‘YITTY’ and brought a new hit show to Amazon Prime named ‘Watch Out For The Big Girls’. The show follows the star on a hunt to find backing dancers for her upcoming tour; aiming to provide opportunities to people who don’t usually see themselves represented on the main stage.

Lizzo’s music and work have elevated the body positive movement, encouraging everyone to love themselves despite society’s expectations and we can’t wait to see what the rest of her album will bring. Pre-order ‘Special’ now for the July 15th release. In the meantime,

listen to Lizzo’s new track ‘About Damn Time’ on Spotify, Apple Music and all other major music streamers!

]]> Summer is full of wonderful things, and ditching the full coverage products is one of them. Below is our collection of summer-ready, lightweight cosmetics with staying power to fill your makeup bag with this season.

Hourglass Cosmetics Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick

This product will cover any redness or rosacea without catching on dry patches. The packaging is fuss-free, ideal for traveling and super chic.

Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer

If a full face of foundation feels stifling to you in the summer heat, it’s best to opt for a tinted moisturizer. One of the best on the market right now is the Victoria Beckham Beauty Golden Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, in collaboration with Augustinus Baber. With its cell-boosting qualities and glowy rather than glittery formula, you’ll be left with a unified and luminous complexion. Alternatively, try the L’Oreal Paris Skin Paradise Tinted Moisturiser with SPF20 for a more budget-friendly yet dewy and mega-hydrated finish.

Benefit Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer

The Boi-ing Concealer is all you need for summer. With 10 hours of waterproof wear and a sheer yet buildable result, there is no better way to perfect your skin without it feel heavy/cakey.

Fenty beauty cream blush

The way forward this summer, cream blushes are ideal to stand the test of time in the heat. Fenty’s formula is lightweight, smooth and is beautifully enhancing on the skin for that natural flushed look.

Yves Saint Laurent Couture Brow

Feathery brows are all the rage this summer and the Couture Brow will help you fix, structure and intensify your eyebrows for long-lasting results.

Glossier Pro Tip Eyeliner

A super easy-to-use eyeliner. It’s densely pigmented, buildable, dries quickly and stays put for up to 12 hours.

Lancome Juicy Shaker Lip Gloss

Who doesn’t love a hydrating lipgloss for the summer? Lancome’s gloss will give you a pop of colour whilst nourishing dry skin. The packaging is pretty cool, too.

Heading to the beach? We’ve found some of the best summer superheroes to ensure you have a fabulous day out.

SPF

Obviously, we are going to mention this first. An absolute essential, choose a waterproof sunscreen and reapply regularly. There is a huge range to fit your wants and needs – if you hate the feeling of sand sticking to you try the Vichy Ideal Soleil Anti-Sand Cream, Its ultra-dry finish will leave you clean as a whistle. If you’re looking for something to put over your makeup, try the La Roche Posay Anthelios Invisible Face Mist SPF50 for a breathable veil of protection that is also moisturizing.

Waterproof Mascara

Because there is no worse look than black streaks down your cheeks. Try the L’oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara recommended by celebrity makeup artist Delina Medhin. She says, “This is a classic mascara it layers beautifully, and it’s one that you’ll see in almost every makeup artist’s kit.”

Detangling Spray

Saltwater, sun, and sand is a recipe for matted hair. The Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer blends the nourishing benefits of a leave-in conditioner while detangling to leave you with a glossy finish. Knots, be gone.

A Cooling Mist

Keeping cool during a blistering heatwave at the beach is no easy feat, but cooling sprays are here for your rescue. Glossier’s Soothing Facial Mist is fuss-free, treats stressed skin and reduces the appearance of any nasty heat rashes. It also contains Rosewater and aloe, which will help you appear more awake.

Lip Balm

Don’t forget your lips need some TLC when you’re spending all day in the sun. Opt for one with SPF like the Protective Lip Balm SPF 30 by Aesop. It has no white residue and leaves a slight translucent gleam, a great all-rounder.

Glowy Body Moisturisers

Show off your skin and add some glow! The Anastasia Beverly Hills Shimmer Body Oil is lightweight, non-sticky and packs some serious sheen. Skin will look hydrated and healthy.

]]> Hello heatwave! As temperatures rise, comfort declines and we’re in desperate need of products that will help us hit that proverbial refresh button. Check out our collection below, to help you stay cool as a cucumber on those sticky summer days.

Fenty Beauty Blotting Papers

The perfect solution for oily skin and shine, these little papers will keep your makeup looking like it’s been freshly applied. The compact is lipstick-sized, portable and straight-up chic – Rihanna has finally made blotting papers look sexy (well, sexier).

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Undereye Patches

Mrs. Bieber has just hopped on Instagram stories to share what she uses for that envy-inducing ‘I have just had eight hours of sleep’ look and it turns out it’s the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Undereye Patches coming in at around 20 quid. A winning formula, it’s caffeine-infused to stimulate microcirculation and de-puff tired eyes while the seawater, aloe and lavender work to calm and hydrate the sensitive skin.

Chantecaille Limited Edition Aqua Blush

For some sheer, rosy summer colour this blush is a staple. Instantly enhancing your complexion while the water-charged formula refreshes the face, this philanthropic French brand will give you all kinds of cooling dewiness.

Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Hydrating Multi-Protection Mist

Made with 98% natural ingredients that will moisturize, refresh and protect the skin from the sun and environmental stressors, this is the perfect companion to have in your makeup bag.

DIOR Diorshow Cooling Stick Eyeshadow

A game-changer. In a range of bright shades, the formulas are 40% water that will give you an immediate cooling sensation and a wet-effect colour result.

Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask

Inspired by the ‘cold plunge’ step of the Scandinavian sauna experience, this mask will deeply purify and diminish pores with an exhilarating chill. Formulated with antioxidant-rich botanicals (alpine, willowherb and snow lotus that have adapted to thrive in extreme cold) this will sweep away impurities.

Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal Cooling Jelly

We often forget about protecting our scalps, but it’s so important during these scorching summer months – after all, it’s part of our bodies that will see the most sun. Try this soothing conditioner to help alleviate irritation and decongest the scalp with its blend of coconut oil, peppermint and tea tree.

Susanne Kaufmann Cooling Leg And Vein Spray

Give your feet and legs the TLC they need with this blend of cooling menthol and plant extract designed to refresh and lighten.

]]> We all know that sun proofing your face is important, especially now we’ve finally reached double-digit weather. However, we wanted to ask the questions that not everyone is likely to know the answer too – like do we have to wear sunscreen all year round? What about indoors? What actually is a tan?

To help educate us we’ve recruited the help of Dr Tomassian, a dermatologist from Kansas. Best known for his interesting and informative social media channels, he has rocketed to fame amassing over a million followers on TikTok alone.

@dr.tomassian

What’s sunscreen really doing for your skin? #eltamdpartner #sunscreen #summer #antiaging

♬ Grammarg – BLVKSHP

We all know that the sun can do all sorts to the skin – but what is a tan?

Getting a tan is your body’s response to UV damage. You can get immediate tanning from UVA(tanning beds) which is just oxidation and redistribution of pigment (melanin) or delayed tanning which is your body’s response to create more pigment producing cells and pigment. Both processes are your body’s attempt to protect itself from further UV damage.

How does SPF actually protect our skin from the sun?

SPF either blocks or converts harmful UV damage (UVA/UVB) from damaging the skin. UVA/UVB exposure leads to mutations within your cells DNA, cell death, and with chronic exposure leads to skin cancer, hyperpigmentation and break down of collagen.

There are a lot of tanning oils with SPF in them, which seems counterintuitive. Do they actually work?

This is really just marketing. Yes, having a low SPF (4-15) will give you some UV protection, however, it is typically not adequate enough and will just convince people that tanning is okay. To be clear tan skin is damaged skin.

What type of SPF should I wear? What are the arguments for ‘physical’ ‘synthetic’ and ‘chemical’ sunscreens?

There is a famous saying in dermatology, “the best sunscreen is the one you will use. “ Just make sure it is broad-spectrum and SPF 30 or greater. Mineral sunscreens contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which are chemically inert and reflect UV damage. They tend to take longer to blend in and may have a white cast if not tinted. Chemical sunscreens are absorbed into the skin and convert UV damage to longer less harmful wavelengths. These tend to blend in well and are great for those with facial hair.

Which sunscreen would you recommend to those who break out easily?

I recommend mineral-based sunscreens for those who easily break out or have sensitive skin.

What’s the most common mistake you see women making with sunscreen and what’s your advice to fix it?

Not using enough. Many people think that the SPF in their makeup is enough for the day. Though your makeup has sunscreen, you likely need to use quite a bit of it to get the desired level of SPF. Incorporating a mineral-tinted SPF as your foundation can be a great way to get two uses out of your sunscreen.

In what order should we be applying our SPF in our skincare routine?

SPF should always be the last step of your routine.

How often should we be reapplying sunscreen, and what’s the best way to do this if we are wearing makeup?

Ideally every 2 hours, especially if you are out in the sun all day. However, that is not realistic for many people. I would try to reapply every 3-4 hrs and especially before you know you are going out in the sun. I find that many women like using SPF powders or mist is a convenient way to reapply over makeup.

What SPF products are in your toiletry bag? Any recommendations?

Currently I have been using Mdsolarsciences Mineral Tinted SPF 30 and daily perfecting SPF moisturizer, Supergoop glowscreen and unseen sunscreen, La roche posay ultra light invisible SPF 60, and ELTAMD UV restore. Honestly these are all great products for men and women to try!

What are some common SPF myths you want to be debunked?

“The higher the SPF the better.” – This is not always true, after SPF 30, you are not getting much more benefit from your sunscreen, but can potentially lead to more irritation especially if chemical-based.

“Sunscreen can cause cancer” – This can be further from the truth. There was a recent study showing benzene as a contaminant in several sunscreen products, however, this had nothing to do with the sunscreen ingredients themselves.

“You don’t need SPF if you are inside” – FALSE! If you have any windows in your house you are still getting UV damage. UVA is able to penetrate windows and glass, so make it a habit and wear sunscreen every day.

Now we know about SPF for our skin – but what about our hair? You probably have a go-to sunscreen for hot weather, but most of us don’t think of how damaging the sun can be for our strands. Excessive sun exposure is one of the most damaging factors for the structure of your hair and here Dr Tommalison explains why.

SPF is typically associated with sunscreens for your skin – why does our hair need sun protection?

Just like our skin, our hair can be easily damaged by UV radiation. UV damage leads to loss of hair protein (keratin), decrease hair shaft integrity, and alterations in hair pigment.

How does UV protection products for the hair work?

Just like the sunscreen for skin, sunscreens for the hair can be either mineral or chemical based. The either reflect(mineral) or absorb and convert(chemical) UV damage.

Can women with fine hair use SPF products or will they weigh the hair down? Which type of hair will benefit most from SPF?

Women and men with all hair types can benefit from SPF products. Many of the products on the market are either powders or mists which are lightweight. This is especially important to use if you have fine sparse hair as using some form of SPF protection will also help protect the underlying exposed skin.

Which is your favorite brand and why?

No favourites but I have used Sunbum and Coola, I like both products

Would you recommend using SPF all year round?

The answer is simply YES. A product that decreases my chance for cancer and limits signs of aging…Sign me up!

Dr Tomassian’s top SPF picks:

So now you are armed with the knowledge on how to protect yourself all year round. With hundreds of different formulas on the shelves, it’s so easy to find products that cater for your skin or hair type, and there’s no better time to invest in savvy SPF products to supercharge your skincare routine.

]]> Just as you thought hot girl summer couldn’t get any better, here comes Miaou’s debut into the swimwear scene to help you slay those beach looks. Infused with a 90’s aesthetics, the 42-piece ready-to-wear swimwear is as exciting as it gets when your favourite independent IG brand becomes mainstream and gains the popularity it deserves.

“It felt like a natural direction for the brand to go. I live by the beach, so I wear bikinis all year,” Elkaim told WWD. “We developed three styles: the Kauai, the Bambi and the Demi.”

Known for its printed corsets and low-rise flared pants, this collection boasts string bikini tops with matching cropped cardigans, all exquisitely made with retro, almost psychedelic prints. The designs have the quintessential balance between trendiness and creativity, not to mention the stunning combination of fabrics – including mesh – with form-fitting, and vegan leathers, and premium quality lycra. And what’s better than shopping from a sustainability-focused label, especially when coupled with such sensual silhouettes and exciting prints.

Miaou actively focuses on sustainability by using deadstock fabrics, an assortment of shoppable vintage fashions, and production methods that reduce drastically the consumption of water as opposed to other mainstream swimwear labels. In addition, all of the swimwear is made of an eco-nylon fabrication. And how cute are these money-printed bikinis?!

The designer’s inspiration behind the collection was traveling, the sort of escapism we all experienced during the pandemic.

“I began designing this in confinement, when the idea of traveling felt so far away, I took some of my favorite vintage swimsuits that I already owned, reworked them for months on end, and reimagined them in our signature prints.”

Alexia Eklaim To Refinery29

Alexia Eklaim, the power woman behind the collection, worked closely with the photographer Emily Lipson to create an evocative campaign, able to set a vision for the brand that redirected the audience to foreign places, at least through their images. In these images, models live extravagantly on yachts and all-white mansions, living their life authentically embracing the 90’s lifestyle, at least in terms of design items such as chain belts, whale tails, corset tops and cut out maillots.

The Parisian-born, Los Angeles bred designer wanted to make a collection that hugged every shape and size, in all the right places. She allegedly found the perfect pair of jeans at a vintage store in Paris, and ever since had envisioned to re-create a collection that emulated the excitement she felt whilst trying out those pants, as she struggled to find clothes that embraced her hourglass figure.

Her designs have been worn by her now friends Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Carlotta Kohl, Paloma Elsesser, and more. Part of the designer’s success, even before launching her brand, was her presence on social media and engagement with celebrities. Miaou hosted parties both during New York and Paris fashion week, and it became ever so desirable by celebrities to attend these events.

There might be a sunglasses-shaped hole in our summer wardrobes right now, and with summer plans finally taking shape and summer outfits finally being put to use, now is a perfect time to find something to fill that glasses void. Thankfully, coming to our rescue with perfect timing; the Saweetie x Quay Australia collaboration. Excited yet?

Photo Credit: Quay Australia

Quay Australia has announced its latest collaboration filled with glamorous and luxurious sunglasses, and it’s all in partnership with the Icy Girl.

The collaboration solidifies Saweetie’s status as a fashion girl even further, and deservedly so. The collection features brightly coloured shades with fancy ombre and studded designs. Whilst hot pinks, corals, black and tan tones dominate the collection, highlights include the ‘No Cap’ frames, featuring rose-tinted glass and golden link style arms, as well as the Black ‘Harper Studded’ pair featuring mini golden studs in a butterfly style frame.

In a press release, Saweetie shared her thoughts on the exciting collaboration; ‘Everyone knows I love my accessories and sunglasses, so I’m hella excited about my collection with Quay. The styles are all luxe but affordable, so all my ICY Babies can get glammed out and look ‘GOODT’ with a ‘t’ just in time for summer’.

The looking ‘GOODT’ in Saweetie x Quay Australia shades is also accompanied with a sense of feeling ‘GOODT’, since the collaboration also has Quay announcing the return of their ‘Education is Quay scheme, which awards scholarships of $100,000 in collaboration with Saweetie, who graduated from the University of Southern California herself.

The collection is the perfect range to choose from for your summer accessories, and it’s always good to know that not only are you buying from a collaboration that actively supports the dreams of others, but also helps you get to really feelin’ yourself when wearing ‘em. We’re looking forward to a Saweetie style GOODT girl summer.
