Summers in Texas are something to be endured while fervently awaiting our delightfully mild falls and winters.  And so, alas, my summer style secrets are centered more around </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">survival </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">than celebration. </span></div><div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">To whit:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/RVEqVL38Y5XBbW6nZ5rsoj8AgUpHMQEhbMRNwFYZvII?feat=embedwebsite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tKUwC7TQWt0/TBK8trW64iI/AAAAAAAARPw/_1LNuGVc1ZA/s400/Desktop17.jpg" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When the full blast of a Houston summer settles in, I find that many fragrances transform from ethereal and delightful to heavy and musky; they just can't stand up to the heat and humidity. And so, once the thermostat starts inching past 90 degrees, I swap out my perfumes for a few lighter, more summer-appropriate choices.  I don't have a single,signature perfume, I like to rotate scents out as the mood strikes.A few of my summer standbys are: 1. Fresh's </span><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P220908&categoryId=C18600&shouldPaginate=true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Strawberry Flowers</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, 2.

I just can't suffer through it. Fortunately, since leaving the stuffy confines of a law firm, my life as in-house counsel is now casual enough for me to indulge my love of cropped pants and capris. Generally, I think a Laurie Petrie look is the most flattering and office-appropriate style: tailored, slim cut and ending just above the ankles.

My own sheets are courtesy of </span><a href="http://www.wshome.com/shop/bedding-sets/sheets-bed-sheet-sets/index.cfm?page=viewall"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Williams-Sonoma Home</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> and I love them.   Like any good quality cotton sheet, they just get softer and better with time.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"></span><br /><div align="justify"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HS-6lKkZxYKsv7MgpaXB8j8AgUpHMQEhbMRNwFYZvII?feat=embedwebsite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tKUwC7TQWt0/TBK8s7Qpk-I/AAAAAAAARP4/wh8vqAvXrlg/s400/Desktop18.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">When it comes to alcohol, aside from the occasional margarita, I stick almost exclusively to wine -- and red wine in particular. Unfortunately, red wine in the summer is not especially refreshing, so I tend to switch over to Sangria. While the homemade stuff is always best (leave it out in the sun as you would iced tea for great results), if you're in the mood for a quick fix, I love Target's boxed Sangria -- (or, </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">wine cube</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> as Tarjay coins it).  Just be sure to transfer it to a pretty pitcher before serving to avoid the inevitable judgment.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/BsOUNUuwH3AagTlamJ_4dD8AgUpHMQEhbMRNwFYZvII?feat=embedwebsite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_tKUwC7TQWt0/TBK-UJp6OtI/AAAAAAAARPo/KL0Eg9S9kWg/s400/Desktop21.jpg" /></span></a></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/BsOUNUuwH3AagTlamJ_4dD8AgUpHMQEhbMRNwFYZvII?feat=embedwebsite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">As a full-on shoe addict, summer is the perfect excuse to indulge in a few pairs of flirty, spare sandals and flip-flops.
