Have you ever noticed that when it comes to summer time apparel, some of the cutest, flirtiest, sexiest dresses are in fact, not dresses at all and actually beach cover-ups? There have been many times that I’m frolicking around on the sand and surf in a pretty cover-up and have wondered to myself if I could get away with wearing it outside of a beach or pool setting. The problem is, many beach cover-ups, as flattering as they are, are too short or too sheer to wear into public without garnering a police report, or multitudes of shocked stares. That’s no longer a problem now as designers have heard our plight and have been producing many fun and sexy cover-ups that can easily double as a sweet or sensual summer dress, perfect for hot daytime activities. As many cover-ups are more casual in style, all you need is a pair of pretty sandals, like a jeweled or metallic version, or even some wedges, to help complete an enviable summer look. Just opt for pieces that aren’t too sheer and that graze the thighs at a slightly longer length. Worried about a low neckline? A simple cami will do the trick! Click on the slideshow to see some of my favorite beach cover-ups that work just as well as a summer dress! |
Renowned in the beauty industry as the best in brushes and a Good Design Award winner, Hakuhodo‘s line features premium bristles and first-rate craftsmanship. NYC-based makeup artist Jessa Blades, champion of organic products and founder of Blades Natural Beauty, tipped CH to the line recently, highly recommending the handmade brushes for their quality.
The company’s blue chip status comes from the traditional techniques of their Japanese brush-making heritage, which they put to use for a variety of styles. Made from natural hair—ranging from Blue Squirrel to weasel—their output includes the S100 Series (top), the Kokutan Series (above left, right), which includes standard and portable brushes, and private label brushes for cosmetics companies.
The line also offers a few non-makeup brushes with the Japanese Traditions collection (above left), modelled after traditional art brushes.
Vetted for the highest quality hair, artisans make the brushes in Hakuhodo’s factory in Kumano, Japan using a traditional sculpting method that leaves the superfine hair tips intact for superior makeup application. After removing crooked and low-quality hairs from each brush with a special hand-sorting technique, the brush is sculpted into a mountain shape angled to follow the contours of a face. The result is a brush that not only performs but is easy to use, and (as Hakuhodo cites as their mission), “the perfect tool.”
The brushes sell online directly from Hakuhodo with prices ranging from $11 to $100 and more.
