With due respect to Martha and the Vandellas, summer, more or less, is here, and the time is right to get outside and enjoy it. Dancing is optional, but please watch for oncoming traffic.

It happens every year, this vicious cycle-type of thing. Technically, we are given holiday "vacation" at some point during December, but no one actually goes on vacation because of the craze of the holidays. It ends up that a lot of people take their holiday vacations...in January.

We've got you covered for a gorgeous getaway, and since we've already been to a tropical resort, let's escape to a winter wonderland. So what if you don't ski or snowboard? You are a diva on the Denali glacier-scape, and in one of the season's hot color trends: black and white.

Sunglasses - Sunglasses are more than just an accessory, girl. Though it seems counter-intuitive, the sun's rays out on the snowy mountains are just as strong, if not stronger than out on the beach because you're being hit with reflections. Usually I snicker at women who sport those ridiculously over-sized sunglasses, but out on the tundra, the larger size will do you good by providing a physical barrier between the sun and the precious skin around your eyes. Valentino's Grommet Shield Sunglasses with shiny black frames and gray lenses should do the trick.

Turtleneck Sweater - A lot of your body heat is lost from the neck and head, and since you don't plan on covering up that gorgeous mane, at least wear a turtleneck sweater to keep your neck warm. Victoria's Secret's Boucle Turtleneck sweater will do just that, and make sure you look great as you peel off your jacket when you come back indoors.
