Last week, in between of thunderstorms, flash flood warnings and recurrent rain showers, we had couple of sunny and hot days in New York/New Jersey area. One such day, my white skater skirt came out to play. This is such a fun piece to style and mix and match and I can see myself repeating this pretty skirt a lot this summer.

With Summer weather in full swing, the rising temperatures mean we now have the freedom to shed the layers and dress in feminine outfits that usually involve baring of the legs! Whether you love short shorts a la Daisy Duke, or prefer a longer hemlines in your summer dresses and skirts, one thing is certain, you need to give some extra TLC to your legs after a long cold winter season. No more hiding behind woolen tights and winter hosiery - no matter how cute - it is time to reveal  your smooth legs.

To prep for summer legs, the most important steps are shaving, daily hydration and sun protection. But daily shaving can create trouble for people with extra sensitive skin. I, for one, suffer from a mild condition of KP and need extra precaution while shaving the legs frequently during summer time. The most important tool for the summer care of  my legs is a quality razor that not only does the job well, but can keep my legs hydrated and safe from unnecessary nicks. Schick Hydro Silk sensitive care razor comes with a moisturizing serum that is activated by simply adding water. This razor provides a close shave, as well as the added benefit of skin care while shaving!

I get all the products I need for my summer legs care routine at Walmart. You can take advantage of the savings on Schick ( $2 off on any razor) and Skintimate products with the coupons available HERE.

Before and after sun protection and care is every bit as important for smooth, healthy legs as it is for your face. Hawaiian Tropic has some really wonderful products to luxuriate your legs like their  ultra conditioning sun screen lotions and after sun lotions in beachy, tropical scents.

Lookbook : Neon Accents

Neon Accent Scarf, Modern Scarf, Zara Neon Pumps, Lime green shoes
 I love switching the look of a basic jeans and shirt outfit with some bright accessories. This neon accented scarf from Express comes in handy when I need to turn a simple outfit into a polished one. The fabric is buttery soft and the pattern is sophisticated yet playful - and as cliché as it sounds, I can't help but declare that it goes with everything!! The Zara mid heel lime yellow pumps are a match made in wardrobe heaven for this scarf. These two pieces bring the cheerful color to any basic Spring outfit, even on a Monday! ;-)
