We couldn't think of a better way to bid farewell to summer than this ad for Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue featuring hunk of bronzed and burning love David Gandy and the luckiest model in the world: Anna Jagodzinska. The vision of David in a white Speedo makes us ache among other things for the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean and the Capri sunshine reflecting off his ripped abs. Press play, and whisk yourself to a sea of sensual delights.
It's one of two parting gifts of summer - compliments of Dolce & Gabbana. We've planned this chic and functional beach tote to be the last hurrah of the season: a special bonus when you buy a 3.3 oz bottle of Light Blue for men or women. If you want it, just enter LIGHTBLUEHER at checkout.
Here's to your last days of warm weather! We hope they're infused with the glorious scent of Sicilian citrus and blended with a breathy make-out scene. Don't forget protection... or your SPF! Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Introducing: Bumble & Bumble Bumble & Bumble hair products have finally arrived at select Sephora stores. I'm an avid Bumble user and may have what some people call an obsession with their Surf Spray—a salt-infused formula that gives you a sexy just-left-the-beach look. I also shampoo with Gentle and condition with Thickening. Then, I style with Sumotech pomade and finish it all off with my beloved salt spray. So you can imagine how happy I am that they’re now on my home turf.
They have formulas for normal, dry, or thick hair—plus they have color-specific collections to make your highlights and dye last longer. Remember, the line is only available in 10 stores right now. So you may be “forced” to take a vacation (oh bummer, right?) to the city nearest to you to stock up on these favored formulas. Stay tuned for more buzz on Bumble & Bumble at Sephora.
Here’s a list of stores with Bumble & Bumble now:
Short Hills, NJ Times Square, New York City Union Square, San Francisco Thousand Oaks, CA Canoga Park, CA Cambridge, MA Atlanta, GA McLean, VA Boca Raton, FL Dallas, TX
Happy 9/02/10!! I’m so excited about today that I used two exclamation points on purpose, can’t stop tweeting about the Peach Pit and The Blaze and if it were office appropriate I would have donned my Baja and high-rise jeans. I grew up with the kids of West Beverly and it isn’t uncommon for me to hum da-da. da-da, da-da-da. don-don whenever I want to psych myself for something important a-la the Spring Dance. I’ve also been reminiscing with all my Brens and Kels via IM about our favorite eps (Hello—the rave! And what about that dinner in Paris?), scenery spots (the late years beach house was the best-est) moments (graduation; “why don’t get your own life and stop stealing mine?”; every. single. concert at the Peach Pit After Dark) and, of course, beauty looks. Bangs, sun-protected skin and full brows topped the list. I, like many of my friends, sported them all. I was even spotted in a few body suits in those days, but my top look of the time was the deeply painted lips. In fact, it’s my choice for a favorite personal retro look. Now, it’s your turn: If you had to choose, which one of your old-school makeup looks would be your Ode to Joy? Swak –Jenna Mahoney
