It's Don't Fry Day (Har Har)—Now Take It Seriously with These 4 SPF Tips!

I'm having a bit of "awareness day" fatigue, but national Don't Fry Day (today!) is one that I can get behind (though I cannot forgive that pun).

Excuse us while we copy every detail of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's AmfAR look. The model's shiny, undone waves, soft smoky eyes, and crisp all-white ensemble is exactly how we want to show up to every summer party. [Refinery29]

One men's underwear line—determined to break down the stereotype of beefy underwear models—is enforcing a strict no stuffing, no crotch shot, no chiseled abs policy. Sorry for the Friday buzzkill. [New York Times]

We're not sure why, but we find ourselves studiously monitoring every slight change in Lauren Conrad's hair (beachy waves, messy beachy waves, beachy waves with rainbow tips).
