The Lob

This year there seems to be a split between two major hairstyles. The super long hair, and the lob/long bob. I tried growing out my hair, but it wasn't sitting well with me, it was starting to thin out a little on the ends and it didn't frame my face the way I wanted it to. When summer started, I started to notice the growing number of lobs among celebrities and in pictures on Pinterest. I absolutely fell in love with the style. It is chic, fashionable, and works with literally every face shape! So yesterday I decided to get my hair cut. 

*Sorry about the photo quality! I've misplaced my camera, so I've been using my phone*

I personally love the style and am super glad I decided to try it out! I was particularly enjoying myself today when I took my dog out for a walk since I didn't have to worry about my hair warming up my neck too much. I was strutting in my new shoes feeling comfortable yet somewhat cutesy/dressy. 

Ok even though this post is about my hair, I have to write about these shoes just a little bit... They are absolutely the most comfortable shoes ever. And I got them for such a cheap price ($17.00) Honestly it feels like I'm walking on clouds when I wear them lol. And they are super casual and I just love them haha.

So what do you think, lob or long hair? And what are the best shoe deals you've come upon?? Comment down below! 

Finally Spring?

It is finally warming up where I live, and I am super excited! Lately we have been having freezing rain and temperatures and I am getting so tired of it... My favorite seasons are spring and fall because, to me, the weather is just perfect! I'm excited to finally show off some spring time fashion ;)

Here is an outfit I put together to celebrate the coming of spring for a party I went to the other night (although it was still kind of chilly when I wore it, hence the cardigan)

Dress: forever 21

shoes: Clark's Indigo

I can't tell you how much I love this dress! It gives off a very classy-cute vibe that I just adore. You'll probably see me post a lot of outfits with clothing from forever 21. It has to be my all time favorite store to shop from and I cannot recommend it enough! 

I also love the shoes I was wearing that night. The design of the shoes somehow made wearing high heels super comfortable and not painful to stand in all night at all! Unfortunately I can't remember which store I bought the shoes from (because I know I got them cheaper than the price online), however I know that the brand name is Indigo by Clark. 

That night my hair was being incredibly difficult and I couldn't figure out what to do with it! I spent more time than I want to admit in the bathroom testing out different hair-dos then taking it down and starting over... Finally, I surrendered and asked my mother for some help and I was extremely pleased with the outcome! 

This was exactly the kind of hair I was looking for. Not too fancy and extravagant, but more simple while still looking like I cared enough to put something together, haha. Sometimes I forget that my mom is always here to help out with things (even small things like doing my hair.) 

So what to you all think? What was the best part of the outfit, or what would you change?

Braids and Flats

So I've always wanted to try one of those gorgeous french braid/messy bun up-dos, and today I finally did! It was actually a lot easier to do than I thought it would be. For some reason, just seeing other girls pull it off so beautifully intimidated me, so I was scared to try it out on my own. But I couldn't be happier with the results!

I feel like my bun could have been a bit messier, but I think you get the picture ;) I love this look and how it accentuates my subtle ombre. I've been debating about whether to go full ombre with blond tips or just stick with my dark to light brown, what do you all think? Oh and in case you don't already know how to do this braided bun, I used this tutorial and just worked from there. 

Today I also wanted to show off one of my favorite pairs of shoes that I constantly get complements on. 

I absolutely ADORE these shoes! They are simple black flats but have a gold band that wraps around your ankles that are simply gorgeous ;) Not only are they cute, but I got them extremely cheap as well. I got these shoes from Ross, which for those of you not in the U.S. is a store similar to TJ/TK Maxx with a lot of discount clothing. I find that if you look in the right spots you can find those diamonds in the rough. I got these for about $10.00, which was totally worth it. Heres a picture of them up close:

The brand name of these shoes is Steve Madden, you can find more of their shoes here. They aren't as cheap as I found this specific pair for, but a lot of their shoes are to die for! 

Denim Shirts

So I'm totally in love with denim shirts right now. Especially the super baggy ones. I just find that you can do loads of different styles with them that are super stylin' <3 So I decided to take a few pictures of a couple ways I wear them :)

First off the photographer-

Completed with my very own camera case and cannon camera (actually it is my mothers, but we don't need to get into that...). I just love this look with the baggy shirt, black leggings and some sort of black bag you have to strap over. Cute. Simple. Gotta love it.

Next is the nerdy flirt-

Which I might add is not nerdy, or very flirty, at all. I feel like anytime you tuck in a shirt and add glasses to something everyone slaps the name "nerdy" on it without a second thought, but oh well who really cares -I don't- Haha, anyways, this look is a super cute buttoned to the top, tucked in, messy pony-tailed master piece. And I thought I'd throw in the glasses just for fun. 

Third is for a lazy day-

Yeah, so this picture is incredibly ugly, but when I actually noticed how gross I looked, I was too lazy to take another -oh the irony- But the look itself isn't half bad. There isn't much to it, just slap on an undershirt (mine is black) and put the denim shirt on top of that and voila- you got the lazy look. I should have put my hair into a messy bun, cause I think that completes the look better than a pony tail, but you get the idea.

And lastly is the half tuck-

I personally like this look, and the nerdy flirty look the best. Most of the time I like finishing off this look with a fishtail or french braid but letting it down is just as good. :) This picture doesn't exactly do it justice, but I promise its a super cute look with a "I don't really care" type feel along with a sort of artsy vibe. Well I guess you could say they all have artsy vibes, but oh well, whatevs. 

So obviously these aren't all of the styles you can wear a denim shirt in, in fact there are sooo many more I couldn't possibly blog about them all. However, these are the styles that I like best, and even though you probably don't need me to show you how to wear a shirt, -at least I would hope not...-  maybe I gave you some ideas for future outfits? Or not, it doesn't really matter to me. Either way, I hope you stick around for more blogs and I hope this wasn't at all a waste of time for you ;)
