  The skin advice was basically an ad for Olay.

  Not only does Olay test on animals, but it's bad for humans, too. At least one of the products suggested have Stearyl Alcohol as an ingredient, and alcahol dries out the skin.

  The lady is also applying make-up incorrectly, so I wouldn't listen to a word she says. Makeup artis should know better than to touch a client's skin with all their fingers. Hands are one of the dirtiest parts of the body, which is why PROFESSIONALS use sponges and brushes, with no more than one or two fingers (to reduce the spread of bacteria, since dirt and bacteria clog up pores.)

  The lady is giving product placement! She isn't telling us which type of products to look for, but expecting us to buy into a brand. And it's not even a good one at that!

  Only in Hollywood would there be a fashion item as silly as a "summer scarf." I live in the South and during most of the summer we have temps in the 90s and occasionally over 100°. The last thing I want is to wrap a scarf around my neck so I can sweat more. No one wears those here. I also grew up in a cold climate and scarves were worn in the winter, period. I can just imagine showing up somewhere in the middle of August with a scarf on. People who look at me like I'd lost my mind.

  I've been helping women dress for years and here's what I've discovered about wearing scarves:

  No more complicated scarf ties like the 80’s & 90’s. No more heavy silk squares that would look best draped over a table, or in a frame and hung on your wall. Just a sweep a long rectangular light-weight cotton scarf around your neck and your last year’s outfit becomes ’today’.

  The art of the wrap:

  If your neck is long wrap, wrap your scarf up close to your chin.

  If your neck is short, keep the scarf loose and away from your neck.

  If your face is wide, keep the scarf wrap wide — if you wrap twice around your neck, make the second wider — maybe even a little over your shoulder.

  If your face is long, keep the first wrap long and loose. The swoop needs to be as long as your face.

  If your body is wider than three face widths (looking from the front view), wrap the scarf loose and wide with the ends hanging long (this length creates a long narrow impression.)

  Choose colors in the scarf that bring out the color of your eyes, hair, or skin. Make sure any white has the same brightness as the whites of your eyes. Keep the brightness of any print in check: We want to see you first, not the scarf. Be creative, the scarf can have different colors than your outfit, but there needs to be some color in it that relates to your outfit and to you.

  I love the scarf trend. I've found great affordable scarves at H&M and even online at Forever21! A great way to be trendy is to match a scarf up to a contrast color ex. wearing a blue top? match it up with a gold scarf!

  It's cute but a scarf in the high humidity and heat of the South?! Not gonna happen! I already drench in sweat in a summer dress and flip flops!

  They're cute but I think it's silly for summer. Too hot! At least here in the South..
