Shades of Summer

La Prairie’s first sunscreen. With more than 90% of the visible signs of aging attributed to UV rays, it’s no surprise that “wear sunscreen every day” is a mantra repeated by dermatologists around the world. The usual excuses for not using it – it’s sticky, smelly and doesn’t sit well under makeup – no longer apply thanks to La Prairie’s first ever high-SPF sunscreen. The Cellular Swiss Protection Veil SPF 50 blocks both UVA and UVB rays, has a luxurious texture that is absorbed quickly and leaves skin primed for the application of makeup. Its Smart White Crystal formula brightens skin and fights dullness, as well as inhibiting melanin production. This colorless formula is perfect for men, so buy one for yours and stash it in his bag. Cellular Swiss UV Protection Veil SPF 50, $185 for 50ml, laprairie.com

TOTALLY TROPICAL Take the jungle with you wherever you go.

For pre-fall, Dolce & Gabbana embrace the tropics with a banana leaf print – made famous by the iconic Martinique wallpaper at the Beverly Hills Hotel, designed by Don Loper in 1942. Dolce & Gabbana’s fresh take on the print can be seen throughout the collection, but for a playful summer look we love the bralette paired with high-waisted shorts. A matching jacket can be thrown on for cool summer nights. Complete the look with a structured rattan bag, cute fluffy pompom sandals and, for a cheeky finishing touch, banana earrings. +1 877 703 4872, dolceandgabbana.com
