Summer Must-Have: An Easy, Yet Sexy, Day-to-Night Look If you already have your quick and easy beach hairstyle and your no-fuss makeup look then it'll be a snap to transition from the beach towel to the barstool come happy hour. If your hair was in braids all day, take the braids out and finger comb hair for a sexy beach-y texture. Or if you did a more slicked back look, try adding a fun headband or hair accessory to dress up your 'do. Or, if your curly hair is still damp from your swim, try gliding a texturizing cream, like Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Texture, $20, on damp hair to minimize frizz and define curls before letting it air dry.

For makeup, something as simple as a quick swipe of lipstick (we're loving bright shades like Estee Lauder Pure Color Gloss Stick in Orange Poppy, $18.50) or a thin line of bright eyeliner on your eyes will give your look the oomph it needs.

Can't do without sunscreen year round in the FL sunshine, but I'm starting to wonder about the self tanner. I like the tan look but if it leads to cancer, forget about it!

This list was a little boring. Not sure why it didn't grab me--I love summer!

I use the Coppertone Tanning lotion and it's pretty awesome.
