A cool linen dress, hoop earrings, crazy stylish straw hat and tote, and coconut oil? Yep, this week's Top Picks are officially brought to you by summer. Add a delicious (and eco-conscious) cook book, and you are patio- and poolside-ready. Enjoy!Angela: I'm all about the body oils right now and I can't get enough of the Coconut one from Herbivore. Natural and organic and it smells and feels divine. What's not to love? (Available at Bellacara, $36)Meaghan: It’s officially summer, which means I officially will be wearing my long hair looped in a chignon for the next few weeks rather than suffer the unbearable heat under a blanket of hair. These sterling silver and freshwater pearl hoops will be the perfect airy accessory to my French-girl-in-a-swamp look...paired with a flow-y Ganni dress, of course! (Available at Alexandria and Co., $150)Celeste: Linen love in the palest pink. A sweet color in a chic and modern design, perfect for helping you to keep cool all summer long. (Available at Kiskadee, $143)Amy: Sam Kass, former chef to the Obamas and White House food policy advisor, makes it easier to do a little better for your diet -- and the environment -- every day. With 90 simple yet delicious recipes, you can surely find something yummy for your 4th of July cookout. I hear the BBQ chicken is quite tasty! (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $32.50)Elizabeth: If you want to make sure you are the most stylish person on the beach this 4th of July, make sure you grab some new accessories that just arrived from Yosuzi. The hats are all made by hand from 100 percent Iraka Palm and take at least 8 hours to complete. At the beach, the pool, or out for dinner, these bags and hats will get noticed.
