Dita Von Teese is what you would call a "Jack-of-all-trades," as her resume could be extensively long as Eloise's Christmas list. Here's a few careers she has dabbled into: business mogul, lingerie designer, singer, model, author, actress, stylist, costume designer and burlesque performer. In addition, she is a muse to many, ranging from musician Marilyn Manson to fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. Dita's iconic glamorous style can help you conquer the boiling hot summer heat, with one outfit at a time.

Maxi Dress

For casual activities, errand runs or group hangouts, a fitted maxi dress will provide a completed look with ease and comfort. A pair of quirky sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun and the haters.

High-Rise Pants

Vacations or day trips can call for physical activity. A crop top and a pair of high-rise pants make for the perfect outfit in case of Instagram photos and unforgettable adventures. Slip on a pair of flats or tennis sneakers for easy travel.

Printed Sundress

Concerts and music festivals can equal sweaty people and hungry mosquitoes. Easily dodge these bullets by wearing a light sundress with long sleeves. Throw on a pair of wedges for exploring the wonders of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll without getting stuck in sticky grass.

Suit and Skirt

A suit skirt is appropriate for special scenarios. For instance, you heard some nasty gossip and need to put a dame in her place. A fitted suit can flatter your figure while leather gloves and cat-eye shades amplify the classic film-noir vibes. Add more drama with stilettos and a clutch.

Parasol

Beach parties or pool-side hangouts can wreck havoc to your complexion. Protect your skin from possible sunburns with a delicate parasol. You can find one online or in vintage clothing stores.

Pencil Dress

For formal occasions, a pencil dress can intensify feminine curves with slim tailored waists and enhancing necklines. Pick out bright colors, like pink, peach, and yellow for attending summer soirees. Add a brooch for vintage glamour with a swipe of red lipstick.

Capri Pants

A pair of dark-colored capri pants is suitable for all occasions while referencing classic Hollywood stars like Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe. To add more drama, opt for pants with a high waist and a pair of black high heels.

Sunny Swimsuit

A bright swimsuit is great for a weekend holiday or paradise getaway. For more of a comfortable option, try a one-piece bathing suit with unique patterns and various cut- outs. Add a vintage touch by choosing swimsuit bottoms that fall short just above the thigh.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
