Celebrities Tell Us How to Survive The Summer With Style

editor

The key to surviving summer, and not ending up a sweaty mess, is having the right must-haves in your closet or, better yet, at the ready in your bag. My summer survivor kit is filled with items that celebrities have told us they can't live without. See what Kim Kardashian, Christie Brinkley and adorable Adrienne Bailon of The Cheetah Girls consider their summer essentials.



When Kim suggested a summer jumper, I admit I was a little apprehensive but I've completely come around to the idea. I like anything that's efficient and comfortable, like the one I'm wearing from Forever 21. These are good for the beach and beyond.

The 'Today' Show's Hoda Kotb won't leave the house without sunglasses. We found a ton of great ones— all under $20 dollars.  Let our "face shape" guide help you pick the best style to flatter your face.

Even the original California Girl, Christie Brinkley, won't face summer without sunblock. We found a fun new Hawaiian Tropic option with a mirror embedded in the bottle so you can make sure you've rubbed it all in.

The Cheetah Girls' Adrienne Bailon suggests hot sandals and fun nail colors. I'm loving the neon colors, right now, especially hot pink.  And since it is bathing suit time, my own suggestion is a new Venus Embrace razor. I just tried one recently and am loving it. So I had to share.  What do you consider your summer essentials? Send us an email or post a comment below.

      Those 5 blade razors! My son's friend tried one and almost had to have a transfusion from all the nicks. Jumpsuit looks cute but going to the bathroom is a super hassle.

      Definetly prefer using venus w/ edge shaving cream(like the mango), to using VEET or NAIR; no burns and nice smooth areas shaved. Lasts several days.
