Warm weather is here, and it's time to give your look as much sizzle as the outdoor temperature, because looking good is always in style.
Celebrity fashion stylist Natalie Saidi offers some tips to get your skin, wardrobe and makeup ready for warm weather:
__Higher is better:__ This bathing suit season, high-cut looks are in style for one-pieces as well as bikinis.
__Baubles and bling are in:__ Look for fashion jewelry in bright tones and sparkly stones. Turquoise and diamond earrings, a chunky necklace of iridescent hues and big, bold bangles all make an attention-grabbing statement for summer.
__Skin is in:__ Crop tops are back, so get ready to show off some skin. Also hot this summer are strapless or off-the-shoulder dresses, plunging V-necks and backless gowns.
__Cut it out:__ Dresses, T-shirts, tank tops, pants and more are all sporting cut-out designs this season. That hint of sun-kissed skin shouts sultry and sexy.
__Focus on the final touch:__ Hair and makeup are the crowning touches that pull any look together, and lipstick is the jewel in the crown. Hot lipstick colors this summer are dark reds, bright orange, nude and dark purple.
