Denim on Denim

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and think to myself, "I have nothing to wear." I know we all have those days when you don't feel like wearing ANYTHING in your closet. You can't help it, but you have absolutely no motivation to dress in pretty colors or wear a sophisticated blazer with block colors. You no longer have to dread those days! Fall on my go-to shoes: brown combat boots! With such little effort, combat boots add so much personality to anything and everything. I'm also a huge denim girl. I love how you can pair denim with anything, including more denim! I know it says crazy, but layering denim on denim is so hot especially when they're different colors. These are my two favorite casual pieces together. 

Sock Bun

Rarely, I have an amazing day of hair. We've all had them, when we wake up and our hair looks like we just styled it; I absolutely adore these days. But on those sadder days, I wake up with crazy hair and I HAVE to do something about it. It takes so much time to straighten, curl, or braid my hair and sometimes I'm just not in the mood to do all that work. That's when I revert to the sock bun! It's so easy and it looks adorable. You're first few times might be tricky, but trust me if I can do it, so can you! It took me some practice until I got mine to look the way I wanted. The perfect sock bun will come!

What you need:

• a clean sock
• scissors 
• rubberband/ hair elastic 

10 Easy Steps:

1. Cut off the toe of your sock

2. Pick one side of the sock

3. Roll the toe-less sock into a donut shape and keep rolling it back

4. Put your hair in a high ponytail or whatever spot on your head you want it to be

5. Brush out your ponytail (it makes it easier)

6. Put the hair inside the rolled sock

7. Make sure the rolled sock is up to the end of your hair

8. Tuck in the tips of your hair around the sock

9. Keep rolling your hair around the sock until it reaches your head

10. Check to make sure no part of the sock is showing. If it does, lightly move your hair so it covers

Enjoy your perfect sock bun and get ready for tons of compliments! :)

Easy, Breezy, Beautiful

I know I already told you all that I love mint in this post, but I really do love the color mint! So of course I have to rep my mint skirt! On this skirt, the pleats create such a light and airy vibe. The great thing about it is, is that it looks feminine on any girl. 

Make sure you try combining different textures and patterns, because it can make all the difference in an outfit. So please, please, please start wearing some mint! Do it for me :) 

Hat Solution

For some odd reason, I instantly feel more stylish when I throw on a hat. I love the look of hats, especially fedoras. Hats are great but it's an easy fix to a boring outfit. Quick tip: if the colored band on your hat doesn't match your outfit, put on a different colored ribbon that matches! It takes a matter of seconds.

Dream List

Lanvin Draped Satin Maxi Skirt $4,260

We've probably all made a “Wish List” at some point in our lives, but have you ever made a “Dream List?” It might sound extreme, but I make both! A dream list (a term made up by me thank you very much) consists of things you could only get in your wildest dreams. Literally, ANYTHING can go on your “Dream List;” the crazier the better! If you would want $2000 socks, put them down on your list! But whatever you put on your list must be the perfect style, item, color you want. This list ensures I’m buying the absolute best of an item, because I’m going to throw down the dow, it better be good! I make this “Dream List” so that I buy something that I really want, not just an instant-buy. I always keep this list right by my side when I’m shopping so I can compare items to it. This technique allows you to buy an item you really want, but at a cheaper price. 

Here is my current dream list!
