Fight the Frizz

Ugh–This Weather Sucks For Hair: 10 Fool-Proof Products For Fighting Frizz Sure, it’s easy to maintain perfectly styled hair in nice, cool weather. But as soon as the heat starts rising, and with it the humidity levels, our hair does too. If you’re getting bigger and bigger hair these days (and not in the intended “Texas” way), then you’re probably in need of a good anti-frizz styling product. The sweltering heat and humidity can turn even perfectly blown out hair to fro status within seconds, and then it’s virtually impossible to go backwards from there. Luckily, there are tons of hair products that will defrizz, detangle and smooth your locks instantly—there are even special frizz-fighting brushes and blow dryers too. If you’re looking for manageable summer hair, check out the slideshow…

Reds
How To Pick The Right Bathing Suit You may prefer the beach to the pool, or surfing the waves to lounging in the sun, but there’s one thing we can all agree on: shopping for new swimwear is downright intimidating. How to pick the right bathing suit is one of life’s most vexing sartorial dilemmas, which is why we’ve enlisted the help of Shoshanna Gruss. The designer launched her eponymous clothing line Shoshanna in 1998, which was followed by Shoshanna Swimwear in 2001, after she was inspired by her own swimsuit setbacks. Clearly, she’s an expert in this department, so whether you want to minimize your midsection or create the illusion of more curves, you can kiss your dressing room woes goodbye after reading today’s story.

DIY: Runway-Insipred Raffia Earrings

Reds
When creating their Sicily-inspired S/S 13 collection, no detail was too small for designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. You could see the Italian island’s rich and vibrant culture in everything from street theater puppet prints to brightly hued crochet wedges. Even the collection’s crowd-pleasing jewelry, most notably the Clip On Pom Pom Raffia Earrings ($565), nodded to the brand’s Mediterranean theme. While we're not in the print-making business and haven't crocheted any shoes lately, we had a hunch we could create our own version of the mixed-media earrings--with a little help from D.I.Y. expert Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This, that is! -Forever 21 Filigree Drop Earrings ($4) -Raffia Ribbon ($13/yard spool) in Red, Yellow, Navy, and Orange -Assorted Beads and Stones (Erica used a mix ofwooden beads ($0.01 per bead), rose quartz stone ($7 per strand), and lapis stones ($8 per…
