Outfit Of The Day: Summer Florals

Floral jeans and a denim button up are staple items in my wardrobe right now. They can both be worn seperately with a completely different look, or in this summery casual look I am wearing above. This outfit is perfect for a day that is not extremely hot, but it is still very warm. It is also very casual while still being a bit daring and super trendy!

I always toggle between wearing my denim button up down or crop it up by tying it in the front. Either way works for the look , but for chose to tie it up to give a fun, carefree vibe. I paired a purple cami underneath to bring out the purple and pink flowers in my floral jeans.

My shoes are just everyday flats that sparkle in silver glitter! As you may have figured out, these are the same skinny jeans I wore in an earlier OOTD post, I just rolled them up to make them more heat appropriate. My jewlery consists of my favorite Betsey Johnson boyfriend watch, a flower ring, and a butterfly ring. Can you see my nails sporting the butterfly design as well?

If you would like to know where any of the items I am wearing are from just comment below!

How To Wear: High Waisted Shorts

Emma Roberts

Selena Gomez

Miley Cyrus

High waisted shorts are a HOT trend for summer and now that they have become so popular it is hard to make them stand out. The shorts are becoming more and more popilar because they throw a retro twist onto what has become the new modern "short shorts". High waisted shorts work for just about anyone and give the body a small waist and an hourglass shape. Emma Roberts gives high waisted shorts a girly chic look by pairing them with a sheer, flowy blouse and black peep toe heels. Adding girly touches like the sheer blouse and a nice handbag make a pair of denim shorts into an amazing outfit. Selena Gomez takes high waisted shorts into a summer-y vibe by wearing them in a starfish print with a midriff bearing top. The nude heels lengthen her legs and although the look is bold and daring, Selena is still rocking the look with confidence! Miley Cyrus goes hipster and casual with the look by taking a loose rock tee and tucking it into her short. The flats, jean jacket, and round sunglasses give the look fashion power!

Are you sporting high waisted shorts this summer?

DIY Nails: Butterfly Wings

Butterflies are such beautiful, interesting creatures. They are so inspiring and they had to be used in some type of artwork which just happened to be on my nails. I actually saw a picture of a butterfly nail design and I just had to recreate it with my own twist! All you need for this nail design is a bright nail polish color such as the pink, black nail polish as well as a black nail striper, and white polish. You also need a dotting tool or a tooth pick.

1. Begin with clean nails and coat them with a clear base coat. This will help your nail polish show up more vibrant and stay on longer.
2. Coat your entire nails with a bright nail polish of your choice. Use about 1-2 coats.
3. Take your black nail polish or striper and paint a small section on the side of each nail.
4. Continue the line across the tip of your nail in a diagnol line.
5. Take your nail striper and draw a diagnol line from the bottom corner to the top corner of your nail.
6. Draw 3 slighty curved lines conntecting your original black lines. Let the nails dry.
7. Take a dotting tool or tooth pick and put polka dots across the tips and side of your nails. Let the nails dry.
8. After your nails have dried, coat them with a clear top coat and continue to let them dry.

This nail tutorial is actually very easy to recreate and requires very few materials. Remember to be patient and practice makes perfect when trying out new nail designs. Be sure to show off your lovely mani!

Fashion 101: Bold and Fab



Kat Graham

I am always looking at pictures of Kat Graham because she is super daring with all her looks and doesn't care if everybody is not a fan of her style. Kat's outfit and beauty look for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards was extremely beautiful to me and showcased her best features. It is totally bold and fab! Kat slicked back her hair and used minimal make-up which let her outfit and accessories take center stage. Sometimes it is okay to let your outfit be the big bang of a look because it still makes heads turn. Since the dress has a slit it shows off her fab legs and the earrings make you look straight at her face. Recreate the same concept in your very own look by toning down your beauty and hair look and putting on a bold outfit that shows off!

Summer Series: Hot Hair

Lauren Conrad

Ashley Benson



Shailene Woodley

Summer gets extremely hot and sometimes it's too much to have long locks hitting against your body. Summer is also the best time to try out new styles, especially for your hair. I love how Lauren Conrad keeps her long locks all year round and is always finding new ways to spice it up. Lauren's hairstyle above is very easy to do and gets your hair out of your face. You can either french braid a section of hair backwards or simply just braid two sections and clip them back. So simple! Ashley Benson took a major chop of her long wavy hair and it is super edgy, just what she is going for. The natural wavy hair and messy aspect is the best part of her new 'do.  Short hair can be very versatile just like long hair because it can still be curled, braided, pinned, anything! It also prevents you from being even more overheated! Lastly Shailene Woodley goes trendy by pulling her hair up into a high bun that can either be messy or slick, whatever look your going for! A bun is very versatile because it can work for both formal and casual occassion and also helps when your in the process of growing out your hair.

Beauty 101: Lovely Lips

Kate Bosworth

Lip color is all the rage for summerand lovely lippies can make your entire beauty look pop! I love Kate Bosworth soft, but bold pink lip color. Her lip color comes off as more as a glossy color because it is not too matte and has just the right amount of shimmer. Try to find a nice lip color that has shimmer in it since it is summer and nothing should be too matte or dull. Lip glosses with major tint and pigmentation are great to use because they are easy to reapply and stay on for a good amount of time. The best colors to try are pinks, purples, and reds of any shade r tone that fit your skin tone well. You may end up purchasing more than one to get the color just right, it's all about experimenting sometimes! A big tip is that if a color doesn't work, try blotting the color or pairing another color on top. Remember, if your lips aren't in tip top shape, use chapstick or the toothbrush method to exfoliate and brush away dead parts of your lips.
