Harper's Bazaar | August 2013 | Candice Swanepoel | Cover Story

Candice Swanepoel may be a South African beauty, but she really brought out the American Splendor in this month's issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine. Although Bazaar focused on nature's beauty for Fall, I find it so relevant to Summer!

Every Summer, American and foreign tourists travel our states to behold exotic locations, Thor's Hammer, Lurray Caverns, or Route 66. And, of course unique favorites, Native American cultural centers including the Yakama Nation Museum which I was so fond of growing up.

[ Cut ] Out

There is a trend taking place right now that is on the "dicey" side. Dresses that have been cut, chopped up, and stamped out to perfection have been seen on the red carpet by countless celebrities.

Pictured below is a page from the April issue of Vogue showing stars such as Karlie Kloss, Emily Blunt, and Kerry Washington turning heads in their cut-out dresses by Michael Kors and Prada.

If you're dying to get this look for yourself, but you're not willing to murder your savings account to achieve couture (though I will be the last to judge you if you choose to do so!), do not shed one tear! Check out the look I got for WAY less at Ross! It's sexy and fun, and it's cut in all the right places!
