During the summer months manicures are maintained at a rapid pace, especially if there is an approaching wedding and the summer is full of celebrations, or a recent engagement has made an appearance. So, here are my top Essie polish picks that feel synonymous with brides!
I’ve seen some pretty spectacular wedding shoes worn by some of our brides over the years, so we shopped some of our favorite styles available now (you can shop too by clicking the links below). We all know, sometimes you just have to suffer comfort for beauty, so it’s always good to have a backup pair like some wedges or flats for when hitting the dance floor!
Jimmy Choo has long been a favorite with brides. These favorites are from Net-A-Porter.
Kate Spade is a classic choice and often combines comfort with style for brides. We love-
Christian Louboutin has oodles of devoted fans, celebrities and brides alike- note the ever elusive legend of the “blue soled” bridal line!
We loved this brides’ Roger Vivier shoes so much they made the cover of my last book, Weddings by Tara Guerard
Now that we are in the midst of a heat wave and summer weddings are in full swing, I wanted to share some of my favorite must have products. They are all clean and natural so you can feel good about them too.
1. Aveda Sun Care Protective Veil -spray this as a sunblock for your hair, will prevent brittle and breakage before all of the styling needed on your big day. 2. Skinfix Hand Repair Lotion– using natural oils this lotion will keep your hands (manicures and ring fingers most importantly) feeling and looking their best. 3. This Josie Maran Argan Oil Sunscreen feels and smells so good going on, nothing like sunscreen, and doesn’t require tons of reapplication. I love that it’s a pump too. 4. Don’t know what lotion was before this silky blend from Tata Harper. 5. This Honest Company lip balm is yummy, lightweight (not chunky at all) and smells divine! 6. Even though it’s marketed as children’s bug spray, it’s all organic and quite moisturizing, so why not? This 2 oz bottle from Babyganics travels easy also.
