Style Icon: Kourtney Kardashian

Most of you know Kourtney Kardashian as the older sister of Kim Kardashian. This reality star and entrepreneur is beginning to shine on her own. Kourtney and her sisters started a line for Bebe and they created their own fashion line. In my opinion, she is the most fashionable out of all her sisters. Her style seems very effortless. She is my personal style icon because she shows how certain looks will look on us short girls.

What do you think about her style?

Summer Must Have: 10 things that should be in your beach bag

1. Water - At the beach it is important to stay hydrated. The sun and the chance of swallowing salt water can both make you dehydrated.

2. Sunscreen - we don't want skin cancer or to get a sunburn (and yes black people get sunburned too lol)

3. Towel (uhhh....duh lol) also... keep a towel in your car (if you drove to the beach) so you wont get your seats wet.

4. Snack (or a meal, if you will be at the beach for a long time)

5. Cover Up, big t shirt, a maxi dress...or whatever you choose to put over your bathing suit. In case you plan on going somewhere after the beach or if you don't want to walk around in your bathing suit after you leave the beach.

6. Book/magazine (for those who don't really get in the water)

7. Goggles (for those who LOVE getting in the water)

8. Lip balm or moisturizer with SPF in it. the salt water tends to draw all the moisture out of your body, including your lips.

9. Camera (or phone on your camera make sure to put it in your bag in a safe place so it wont get wet. i hate getting sand in my phone).

10. I always forget this and its probably the least important.... extra Hair ties. I hate when my hair gets everywhere and I always forget to bring a clip or hair tie.

What is your must have item to bring to the beach?

Get Rihanna's Look

I love Rihanna's style because it so versatile. Sometimes she wears daring outfits and on simple occasions she dresses accordingly.

This look is so simple, comfortable, affordable, and cute. This outfit contains basics that should be in most wardrobes. I'm sure most of us have these items in our closets. If not, I'll give you some places where you can pick up similar items.

$78 from Levi's

A jean jacket is essential and so classic. It can be worn more casual (like Rihanna's look) or put on top of a dress. Even during chilly summer nights, a jean jacket could be useful.

Forever 21 - $3.50

In the picture I cant tell if Ri has on a white t-shirt or a tank top so i chose a tank top because it would be more cooling during these warmer months. Racerback tanks can be worn under jackets, on top of bathing suits when going to the pool or beach, as a sleeping shirt, skies the limit.

White House Black Market - $25.88

Keds - $34.99

Basic sneakers are always great to have....for comfort ability.

Torrid - $11.98

Forever 21 - $5.80

Music Monday: Drake

Drake - Marvin's Room

I'm not a big fan of drake. His music is a hit or miss to me, some of his songs I like and some of them I hate. This one is a hit (in my opinion lol). So many artists have already done remakes of this song and it's only been out a few weeks, that is a sign of a good song.

Tell me what you think of the song and video.

Health/Fitness Tip of the Week

Health:

Have a cheat day (or item) once a week. Nothing over the top but something to treat yourself, especially if you eat healthy most of the time. Even if its just one doughnut, a couple scoops of ice cream, a small slice of cake, or even a slice of pizza. Foods are only "bad" if you eat them all the time. It's okay to treat yourself to a prize once in a while.

Fitness Tip:

If you are trying to lose weight, dont weigh yourself everyday. Most of the time when you are working out you are gaining muscle as well. Its better to write down your measurements than to write down your weight. This has pissed me off lol, I hate looking at the scale and not seeing the number move when i've been busting my a** in workouts everyday. But i've realized as im dropping lbs im gaining muscle.

I'm sure most of you guys already know this. Just thought I'd share the information for those who don't.
