Dita Von Teese is what you would call a "Jack-of-all-trades," as her resume could be extensively long as Eloise's Christmas list. Here's a few careers she has dabbled into: business mogul, lingerie designer, singer, model, author, actress, stylist, costume designer and burlesque performer. In addition, she is a muse to many, ranging from musician Marilyn Manson to fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. Dita's iconic glamorous style can help you conquer the boiling hot summer heat, with one outfit at a time.

Maxi Dress

For casual activities, errand runs or group hangouts, a fitted maxi dress will provide a completed look with ease and comfort. A pair of quirky sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun and the haters.

High-Rise Pants

Vacations or day trips can call for physical activity. A crop top and a pair of high-rise pants make for the perfect outfit in case of Instagram photos and unforgettable adventures. Slip on a pair of flats or tennis sneakers for easy travel.

Printed Sundress

Concerts and music festivals can equal sweaty people and hungry mosquitoes. Easily dodge these bullets by wearing a light sundress with long sleeves. Throw on a pair of wedges for exploring the wonders of sex, drugs and rock 'n roll without getting stuck in sticky grass.

Suit and Skirt

A suit skirt is appropriate for special scenarios. For instance, you heard some nasty gossip and need to put a dame in her place. A fitted suit can flatter your figure while leather gloves and cat-eye shades amplify the classic film-noir vibes. Add more drama with stilettos and a clutch.

Parasol

Beach parties or pool-side hangouts can wreck havoc to your complexion. Protect your skin from possible sunburns with a delicate parasol. You can find one online or in vintage clothing stores.

Pencil Dress

For formal occasions, a pencil dress can intensify feminine curves with slim tailored waists and enhancing necklines. Pick out bright colors, like pink, peach, and yellow for attending summer soirees. Add a brooch for vintage glamour with a swipe of red lipstick.

Capri Pants

A pair of dark-colored capri pants is suitable for all occasions while referencing classic Hollywood stars like Natalie Wood and Marilyn Monroe. To add more drama, opt for pants with a high waist and a pair of black high heels.

Sunny Swimsuit

A bright swimsuit is great for a weekend holiday or paradise getaway. For more of a comfortable option, try a one-piece bathing suit with unique patterns and various cut- outs. Add a vintage touch by choosing swimsuit bottoms that fall short just above the thigh.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
