“It’s 110 degrees in September out there? No
way!” 
“Yes way,” the aspiring starlet replied,
foundation dripping down her face into her Starbucks.

It’s L.A.’s hot little secret: While the rest of the country
pulls on nubby sweaters, beanies, and infinity scarves, the beach weather temps
in Los Angeles are still heating up. Sure, we celebrate Labor Day Weekend with
the rest of the country and bemoan the end of summer, but it’s sort of a ruse.
You can’t wear a wool coat here now anymore than you can rake the leaves of a palm
tree. My solution for dealing? Highlight the positives: I can clean up at J Crew’s
“end of summer” sale and fruit season need not come to an end. This
iPhone case from Yes Way Rosé is
the perfect accessory to stylishly remind Angelenos that we live in a town
where the sun shines 360 days a year. Throw another peach on the grill and
crack open another bottle of Rose. We’ll save our Hot Toddy’s for June.
