Did you know you can now shop the Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy all online TOGETHER now?  They've made it easy with a combined shopping cart for all of them.  Like a top from Banana Republic and pants from the Gap?  Well pair them with some flats from Old Navy...  or however you like!  I think that's pretty cool!

(1.)  Blue Striped French Cuff Shirt at Gap.com for $48

(2.)  Racerback Dress at Banana Republic for $118

(3.)  Beaded Top at Banana Republic for $89

(4.)  Cotton Puff Sleeve Trench Coat at Banana Republic for $150

All of these items are sold at NIMLI.com, an online retailer of eco-friendly goods.  This chiffon top is too cute, and retails for $110.  Looking for a more casual tee?  The "Tree T" would be so adorable with some jeans on the weekend.  It costs $32, and comes in a couple of colors.  Pair either of the shirts with this handmade ring.  The ring costs $55, and I think it's great because it's a little piece of art for your hand! 

Halle Berry is one of those celebs that you can't help but envy -- natural beauty is not easy to come by!!  But everyone's gotta have some beauty secrets!  Enter celebrity skin care expert Olga Lorencin from the celeb-frequented Kinara Spa in LA, who dishes on what keeps Halle's skin looking so good!:  

Major Amounts of Sunblock:  I mean, so much that the facialist suggests carrying a bottle in your purse and keeping one in your glove compartment!  Try Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock With Helioplex, SPF 70 ($9.99 at Amazon), or certain situations call for different measures!:

If you have sensitive skin, try an oil-free lotion such as Neutrogena Healthy Defense Sunblock Oil-Free UVA/UVB SPF 45 ($7.99 at Amazon).

If you're off to a tropical locale, try a sunscreen with zinc, which gives you added protection, like Blue Lizard Australian Suncream SPF 30+ ($12.99 at Amazon).

Facials & Professional Treatments:  Get a professional treatment at the beginning of the season to unclog pores so you can start fresh.   Says the skin care guru:

Breakouts during the summer months are often due to an increase in sunblock application."

Or would you rather DIY??  Get a homecare facial to cut through the dead skin to reveal what glows beneath!  If you really want to do it like a celeb, try the Kinara Red Carpet Facial Kit ($145), which is very expensive, I know.  But hey, you get 32 facials out of it!

Anti-Oxidant Serum of Choice:   Use a good anti-oxidant serum every morning to protect your skin.  The recommended option is SkinCeuticals CE & Ferulic Acid Serum ($102.75 at Amazon), which is a discount from its usual $139, mind you (those celebs really know how to live it up, don't they?!).   An added bonus is that she swears it prevents premature aging too.  

(Um, as a side note, the skin care expert also warns not to bleach skin during the summer months because products containing bleach should be used after the summer heat.  So are we to assume that lovely Halle bleaches her skin?  Hmmmmm......)
