SPF.  Whether you’re headed to the beach, for a run, or window shopping on a sunny day, it is really important to protect your skin with SPF. The products below work double duty as a light coverage foundation and provide the added benefit of sun protection. If you need more coverage, add concealer where there is redness or darkness under the eyes. Word to the wise— the term tinted moisturizer does not mean there is guaranteed moisturizer in the product. Be sure to hydrate the skin before applying the coverage. Shop these products here (clockwise from top left): Nars Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 // Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 // Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 // Smashbox BB Cream SPF 35 // Dior Hydralife BB Cream SPF 30 // Bobbi Brown oil-free Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15

Fashionable Films— A Series.

     

Films are such a wonderful way to eject yourself into a lifestyle, a time period, or character. This series is my ode to the beauty and mystery behind stylish females from decades of story lines and fashion statements.

Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp are quite the pair in this cat-and-mouse drama, which took place mostly in Venice (what a backdrop!). Angelina’s character Elise dresses in feminine fabrics, elaborate jewelry, and classic lines. For about a week after the film I dressed exclusively in romantic up-dos, art deco jewels, black turtlenecks, and red lipstick. Check back for more on this series of Fashionable Films.
