What Celebrities and Other Fashionable People Will Be Wearing this Season: Summer Fashion Trends (II)

Also in for summer:

* Cute, non-fussy beach cover-ups.
The look is simple and functional; don't overdo. Think a simple cotton tank in one cheerful color (steer clear of black or brown!) or a graphic floral print. It's very European to wear a matching swimsuit and coverup combo; only sport this look if you want attention.

* Lavender pearl jewelry.
We already said that luminous freshwater pink pearls go great with summer fashions and sun-kissed skin. Equally hot? Metallic lavender pearls. They're a new twist on classic white and they flatter every skin tone.

* Shell jewelry.
Toss on a shell cuff bracelet or mother-of-pearl pendant for chic summer style. Natural materials look gorgeous against summer skin (the kind that comes from self-tanner, natch).

* Straw hats.
Find a big, floppy hat with a wide brim that will cover your head completely (save your skin now; it will thank you later). A black ribbon, straw flowers or some sort of simple accent is always cute. (Jessica Alba is a fan of the straw hat, and sports one in InStyle.)

* Metallic nails.
Keep nails short to rock this trend, of which Mischa Barton is a fan. Two polishes to try: Maybelline Express Finish Advanced Wear Fast-Dry Nail Enamel in Silver Speed, available in drugstores, and Essie Loophole, available in salons.

* Waterproof mascara.
A must-have summer accessory, waterproof mascara will have you looking chic après swimming without the dreaded raccoon eye. Almay, Bourjois, Clinique and Max Factor all make great waterproof mascaras. Tip: Lighten up for summer by trying something other than basic black. Brown mascara, green mascara and blue mascara are al unexpected eye-poppers.

* Last but certainly not least (my derm made me include this):
Don't forget the ultimate summer accessory: sunscreen.
