Instagram Favs.

As much as I would like to say I'm perfect and don't pick favorites, I do. In fact I'm coming to you live from geometry class,which is not my favorite. {oops} As y'all know, I'm slightly addicted to Instagram. And taking my Instagram pictures might as well be a sport, I mean there's lighting, angles, space, saturation. you get the gist. Over the almost year that Lauren and I have been around the fashion scene I've taken some pictures that if I do say so myself, are pretty great. 

I took this one after school while I was waiting for my brother to pick his trumpet up from the rental shop. It had just been on of those days that your really do physically need a venti.

This was probably taken around 3:30 am. Lets just say that I'm a night owl and I could teach a class on procrastination, especially when it comes to packing. I was laying my clothes out for a beach day when I realized how perfect they looked together!

This vest. ohhhhh this vest. The j.crew herringbone vest has been called many things and it is most likeley to be called "bæ" or "my love" that how much I love this vest, so when I got it, I obviously HAD to Instagram it.

I often say that fall is my favorite season. But the more I think about it, Early Spring is my favorite, followed by fall. This Picture is actually from a lookbook and the weather was absolutely perfect!

It was a dark and stormy...Saturday. Lauren and I ate brunch at the fresh market and strolled to the Lilly store where I found this gorgeous top.

This picture is also from early spring. It was finally warm and we had just taken the cover off of our pool, and I loved the contrast between the light blue and bright red.

Trend I'm Loving : Peasant Tops.

Recently, I have been wearing these loose flowy tops all the time. I love how comfy they are and how great they look for fall! here are some of my favorites: 

This top is from sheinside. It seemed to be a scam website, so i was skeptical to order from them at first but everything actually arrived and is about forever 21 quality!  

This top is from aerie about 2 years ago, but I haven't worn it in so long! I've recently re-discovered it  and it is like falling in love all over again. 

This top is from american eagle, and I also Haven't worn it in forever, but its so cute! My only complaint is that it tens to fall off my shoulders. :/

Super Easy Messy Bun Tutorial

 The messy bun is one of those tricky hairstyles that looks easy, but when you try it you're like....uhh never mind.  After trying tons and tons of Pinterest tutorials , I've finally found one that is super easy!  It took me 2 tries to get it just right, and I consider myself to be hair impaired. So if I can do it, then so can you!

seen in a previous post and also on Instagram

step one.

Brush your hair up to remove any bumps for when you put it in a ponytail.

step two. 

Make a high pony right on top of your head, but don't tie it.

step three.

twist the ponytail all the way to the end

the pony should eventually start twisting in on itself.

step five. 

twist the pony all the way into a bun, and tuck the end piece underneath. Secure all around with bobby pins.

 step six.

Done! no need to pull strands out, it will loosen into a messier bun by the end of the day.

August Favourites

  

1. TopGear

Everyone has that ONE tv show that they are just absolutely obsessed with. I have never been a fan of typical "teenage girl shows" such as #PLL or or "switched at birth" or whatever. I'm more of a fan of discovery-channel-type shows {feel free to call the a nerd} I also am a huge car guru, yet another "un-girly" aspect of my life. Smash those two together with HILARIOUS british presenters who tend goof around more than anything and this is what you get. It will always be in my top 5 shows!

2. OGX Lemon Highlights

As you know, I was at the beach earlier this month, and at the beach there is sunshine. WOW! My hair has natural highlights, but they don't quite show up as much as I would like. Lemon juice contains acid, which is a natural bleach, and it can be activated by heat. I have definitely noticed that my highlights have come out more!

3. Starbucks Caramel Macchiato 

My favorite Starbucks drink used to be any frappuccino, but now they seem to be too sweet. Recently I've been loving macchiato because it is not so sweet, yet is still cold and delicious.{I get mine with extra caramel} It is the perfect pick me up for after school when all I want to do is sleep!

4. Tarte "The Slenderizer" contouring brush

Instead of using a brush to apply bronzer, blend it, and apply highlighter, you can use one! The quality is great and I absolutely love how soft the bristles are. 

5. Tory Burch "Bombe leather clutch"

This clutch is the perfect size for the daily errands or an afternoon on the town, I do like that it has two sections, a main one, and then one in the flap of the purse, so that it has double the space! It is great to fit sunglasses, wallet, phone and keys into. My only complaint would be that the strap could be longer, but I'm sure you could order a longer chain.

6.  Creaseless Hair Ties

I have been straightening my hair a lot this past month, which means when I wear my hair in a ponytail to go to bed there is a huge crease in my hair when i wake up, which is not fun. With these hair ties that is no longer a problem. They also come in super adorable patterns & colors!

7. My Home Board On Pinterest

This may come off as super conceited, but this is not what I meant! I have been more obsessed with home decoration and beautiful white pickett fence houses than I usually am this month. My main fuel for this addiction {like all of my other addictions} is Pinterest. Literally all of the things I have pinned on that board I am In love with. They are just so perfect!
