Sunglasses

Keep your eyes protected this summer, sunglasses are all the new rave. Sunglasses are functional and funky and they are a great way to express yourself. I have no clue why but every type of shade that you can possibly think of is all coming back. 60's thick frame, 70's circles, 80's crazy colors, 90's huge lenses, 2000's aviators. Somehow oddly enough even heart shapped sunglasses found their way into today's style. Whatever type of sunglasses you pick, be crazy and be you. 

Short Hair

The weather is getting warmer so  your hair should be getting shorter. This season its all about hair to your shoulders, if not shorter. It's enough with the long hair, now is the time to make a change. Be bold, be different! I recently cut my hair short and I love it, something about it just makes me feel upbeat and easy going. Shorter hair makes you look thinner and allows people to focus on your face, not just on your long hair which is dragging you down. Cutting your hair also makes it look much healthier and tends to give it a certain shine. Short hair is very easy to control and doesn't involve too much work. I believe you cant go wrong with having hair of the length between your shoulders and your chin . Of course there's always the fear that chopping your long locks off will make you look like a mom, tired and lazy. I have a few tips to do the non-mom bob. First, texture, texture, texture, make sure your hair isn't flat and lifeless. There are many creams and shampoos you can use to create this effortless texture. With short hair its very easy and quick to curl. If your like me and you struggle with curling hair, you should try the flat iron waves. Twist your hair and straighten, its that quick and easy. So if you were wondering whats next for your hair, chop it off! Go the short way, it's effortless, beautiful, and looks great on everyone. If you decided to chop off your hair or have any questions, comment below I would love to reply ;)

Thank you for reading my blog, hopefully this year I will have more time to post. May 2015 be a great year for all of you!

Black is the New Black

This summer I traveled in Europe, in some of the biggest fashion cities. I realized that most of the time when outfits really popped out to me, was when the girls were wearing black. I love the color black because it can be casual and cool yet fancy. Black can literally be worn whenever, and wherever you want. Its versatility and simplicity intrigues me. Many times wearing black is very slimming and can also hide your unwanted curves. Personally, when I wear black, I like to keep a calm palate throughout the rest of my outfit. I almost feel that black is a color which should be  admired, rather then distracted by another bold color. Don't take me wrong, I love pairing up black with other colors. My three favorite colors to pair up black with are; olive green, maroon, and white. If you decide to just wear black then you have to always remember to accessorize. A bold necklace and a nice purse are great things to add to a simple black outfit. Try it out and play with your outfit. Black is a great color to personalize and be creative with. Don't be afraid to take risks and express yourself.

Summer Styles

Depending on where you live, summer is a difficult season to dress cute because it's hot and humid and you don't feel like having your clothes cling onto you. When I'm picking out what to wear I normally revert to my high waisted shorts and a crop top. High waisted shorts are extremely figure flattering to any body type. High waisted shorts make you look like you have long legs, a toned stomach, and a cute butt. There are so many different styles to choose from. There are basic jeans, to flower print, to galaxy themed. There are more classy ones that you can dress up with a nicer, more simple top and a bold necklace. It is very much in style at the moment to wear high waisted shorts with a graphic tee crop top. It makes you look cool and fashion forward. You can give off many different vibes depending on how you dress it up. I really enjoy the look of high waisted shorts and a crop top because crop tops are perfect for the summer. They have a lot of air circulation and in general keeps you much cooler than a regular tee or tank.  Have a cool and sweatless summer ;)

Leather

Leather has become a major material in clothing recently. I do not mean the heavy real leather, like leather jackets that you would normally
picture, they are very expensive. I mean fo-leather; it is very affordable and extremely modern. This season the rocker look is trending! You will be seeing a lot of black and white, and interesting materials. I think leather shirts are probably one of the coolest things out there at the moment. Not necessarily a shirt all covered in leather, but more a shirt that has clever placings of leather on it. It can look almost innocent but add some rocking gray jeans, and black combat boots, and you can look like a bad-ass. This look can totally boost your self-esteem, and make you feel confident and cool. Leather dresses are so amazingly genius. Even to a fancier event or a causal party, leather dresses could add personality and give you the extra attention you are looking for! I think if you add leather to any part of your outfit it will make you be noticed and give you an edge.

Ombré

 The problem with me is I get bored of my hair very quickly. So I decided to let it grow and try this new summer trend that I love so much. I recently dyed my hair ombré, and I love it! If you are worried about ruining your hair but love ombré and want to try this, don't worry. If an experienced person is bleaching your hair and paying attention while they are doing it, your hair should not get destroyed. Depending on how dark your hair is that is what decides how much bleach you need. They have to use bleach and use two different shades of dye. This didn't necessarily hurt my hair it just changed it a bit. Now my hair is a bit more dry and wavy-ish. I don't think this is only from my ombré though, my hair was already changing a little before I dyed it. Hair changes every five to seven years because of hormonal change. Ombré is colors that shade into each other graduated from dark to light. Generally ombré is done on brunettes. It doesn't normally show up very clear on blondes because then it would just be light to lighter. When you come to your colorist to dye your hair be prepared and have done the research. Come with pictures to show because there are many different ways ombré can be done. If your hair is all dried and done but you are not happy with the color, either its too dark or too light, don't be afraid to tell them. They should understand and try to fix it. This is what happened to me but now I am very happy with it. I know many people also try doing their own ombré. I do not recommend this because everyone I know who tried it was not 100% satisfied.  I also personally wouldn't trust myself with this. I hope if you do decided to ombré your hair, you end up loving it as much as I love mine.
