Samantha’s July Favorites

In lieu of our Charming Tuesday posts, Samantha and I have decided to post our top five “favorites” for each month. This way, we can include more items instead of just sticking to our beauty essentials. So, to kick off our new segment, here are Samantha’s:

1. Books – The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner and Construct a Couple by Talli Roland. Highly recommend both these books!

2. Beauty – I recently bought Secret’s Clinical Strength deodorant, and don’t have to worry anymore in the hot summer days. If I am going out and want to slip something in my clutch, I grab a small bottle of Victoria Secret’s Very Sexy perfume. Love the way this smells!

3. Hair – With the hot and humid summer days, frizz can be a real problem. I just purchased Bed Head Hard Head Hairspray, and it works wonders. It seems to literally freeze my hair in place, and the frizz gets cut down dramatically. Sometimes it can make my strands stiff, but I’ll take that over the frizz!

4. Clothes – Dresses are all the rage for me in the summer. I will rarely be seen in much else, and I’m not much of a shorts-type gal. I love the long flowing maxi dresses, and a great website to check out awesome deals is Hautelook.com. http://www.hautelook.com/short/3Fbc7

5. Shoes – Wedges still seem to be very in this season, and I stocked up earlier in the year with a few cute pairs. These also can be more comfortable on a night than stiletto’s, but you don’t lose any fashion points either!
