Like really hot.

Is there a national heat wave or something? Jimminy Christmas it's boiling outside. And it's not just hot, its HUMID. What a terrible combination. For those of you who are foreigners to NYC heat, its downright awful. These tall buildings might look pretty at night when they're all lit up and fancy looking, but the truth is, they allow no air to flow through the city. It's like an oven! Ugh and yuck. 

If you are like me and need to cool down this summer, I've picked a few of my favorite go-to items for when it's utterly unbearable outside. These light-weight fabrics keep you cool when you feel like you want to melt. Here are a few from one of my favorite designers, Max Azria for BCBG:

So light and airy, this BCBG Silk Drawstring Dress will be super comfy whether you are walking around the city or lounging poolside. The print is beautiful as well, it will really draw attention to your impeccable fashion sense! For day wear, pair it with strappy gladiators and big sunglasses to complete your look.

How divine is this BCBG Tiered Sleeveless Dress? It's like you're on your way to play in a very fashionable tennis match! I heart this. White is sooooo in this summer, so stylize this up with neutral and white accessories to emphasize this glamorous color.

Love love love this BCBG Printed Sleeveless Dress! And the shape of the neckline is so flattering! I would live in this dress if I didn't have other amazing dresses to strut around in, but you get the point. It is perfect. So modern and so chic and so versatile. Wear this during the day or jazz it up with sky high, black leather strappy heels and transition this to a night out look. Mixing the bright colors and dark shoes will instantly shoot you way ahead of the fashion curve!

And finally, the maxi of all maxi dresses. This BCBG Tiered Maxi Dress is gorgeous. And if you belt it, as shown here, you infuse added interest and I guarantee you everyone will be envious. I mean look at it, ah-mazing.

I just checked the weather, it is a stifling 96 degrees. I'm sorry, but that is outrageous. Good thing I have a chilled bottle of my delicious Pinot Grigio and a few light-weight and absolutely adorable dresses to keep me cool and looking, as always, incredible :-)
