Five reasons why you will wear whites all summer

It is hot and at time truly oppressive outdoors, especially with humidity being higher than normal in So Cal. I was in downtown this morning and literally I thought the asphalt was melting under my heels. And trust me there were a ton of other miserable people who were huffing and puffing (and yes sweating profusely) trying to navigate the heated concrete mess that is LA downtown at 93 degree Fahrenheit.

Skimpy swimsuit + flowy maxi dress

Beachgoer

Temperature is approaching full summer mode in So Cal so I suppose it is time to start looking for some summer wardrobe refreshers. Truth be told, I basically live in heals, so I will generally not even look at flats but these DSQUARED2 flower rubber sandals may just be the exception.
