7 Beauty, Wellness & Style Ideas to Finish Summer Strong

August is that sweet in-between moment when summer is still in full swing with fall quietly waiting in the wings.

In this month’s blog post we share 7 beauty, wellness and style ideas to help you finish summer feeling fresh, polished and ready for whatever September brings.

Think of it as your end-of-summer refresh—with one foot still in the sunshine and the other stepping confidently toward fall. Enjoy!

#1 Bark — A.K.A. Dark Chocolate Brown

Dark chocolate brown is having a major moment, and we’re not complaining. This rich, sophisticated neutral works beautifully with summer whites and natural textures now, then transitions effortlessly into your fall wardrobe. This is one trend you won’t have to retire when summer ends!

#2 Farm-to-Table Dressing

Bring an early taste of fall to your late-summer wardrobe by adding a few rich, earthy shades to your summer rotation—think eggplant, roasted corn, olive green, tomato red and blueberry. Throw some fall florals into the mix and you will be ready for two seasons at the same time!

#3 Summer Skin

Your toiletry bag deserves a seasonal refresh, too. From Trader Joe’s summer essentials to a favorite foaming self-tanner, superfood soap, magnesium lotion and nourishing body oils, we’ve rounded up a few of our go-to products for keeping skin looking and feeling its best.

#4 Seasonless Sunnies

The right pair can instantly change the feel of an outfit while beautifully framing your features. Oversized, aviator, square, rectangular, round, oval or cat-eye—there’s a silhouette for every face and every personality. Find a shape you love and consider your sunglasses a year-round style staple.

#5 Nutrition on the Go

Summer schedules can be anything but routine. With a little planning, protein powders, sports hydration and energy drinks are easy to pack and enjoy wherever the season takes you. Arbonne is our go-to brand for convenient nutrition on the go any time of year. The products are easy to stash in your kitchen, purse, tote, car—or even your beach bag. Add water and you’re ready to go! Note: Become a preferred Arbonne customer and save 20% on all orders now and in the future.

#6 Wedding Guest Accessories

With wedding season still going strong, it might be time for you to think beyond your wedding guest attire and invest in a few accessories that can give all your special occasion outfits an updated look. The right accessories can make favorite special occasion dresses and separates feel brand new, helping you look polished without buying something new for every invitation.

#7 Accessory Enhancers

Finally, ready to fall back in love with accessorizing? We’ve rounded up a few clever finds that can do just that, from mosquito scarves and oversized headbands to double eyeglass cases, jewelry totes and magnetic necklace clasps. A few small upgrades can make getting dressed—and accessorizing—feel so much easier now (and later!)

Here’s to savoring every last bit of summer while getting a little more prepared for what comes next. Happy August!
