I HATE Floral!

Hey you guys! It's been a while sense I've posted, how is everyone?

Okay, so I get the floral is a huge trend, it seems like it has been going on for a while, and hasn't fell of yet. But still, floral reminds me of my grandma, and I'm not wearing anything that reminds me of a 50 year old couch!

But……
   
      I recently went to Wet Seal (although you should know the same print is also sold at Forever 21 and I think Rue 21 as well) and I'm actually really into the sunflower floral print! For summer I think this print will continue the floral print trend. For the first time yesterday, I wore a floral dress, who knew!

 I know that black nails don't seem like a spring trend, but I think is cute! And of course I know black hasn't been a leading color trend for nails in a while but did you see the picture???
 This may be a controversial blouse, but I like! Although pairing it with some denim jeans would tone down the stretched print a little, these grunge blue jeans in the picture would also look cute! For a warmer spring look, this would be super cute with some high waisted either stone wash shorts or regular black shorts.
 I actually prefer the black background with the sunflower pattern. I think it make the flowers pop and it's kind of edgy in a sweet way! You could take this print to so many styles and I think that's what's most interesting. This skirt can be found at tillys, and I think would be paired great with any white or maybe even creme blouse.
 If you are really into the floral pattern, I think you'll enjoy the sunflower with a white background, it's a fresh look and I think it would be super cute for spring.
 Can we just take a moment to admire how beautiful these pants are? They can be found on asos.com and I haven't seen any similar pants with a navy blue background. Personally, I'm a lover of harem pants still, they're so comfortable and so easy to wear. I seriously want these, how about you? Buy me a pair?
 If the heavy floral print seems too busy for you, this subtle blouse is super cute and tones down the print nicely!


I hope I gave you a little inspiration, and if you like my blog please follow and support it, tell your friends and check in daily for a new blog :)

New Trend: Overalls ??

Hey you guys! Hope you're all having a lovely day!
    Lately, I've been noticing the overalls trend being pushed. What do you all think about the trend? I personally can't see many people being able to pull that style off, I think overalls are hard to style! And frankly, the remind me of my childhood which I try to forget! Maybe I'm the only one whose been noticing this trend that's being hyped… ?

If I were to get into this overall craze, I like the shorts better than the pants, they look more spring like! It's kind of vintage and that style is still kinda going strong this season. Florals and the whole Frida Kahlo inspiration is hyped all over social media. I think it can be cute, but it is certainly not my cup of tea, I'll leave that up to women like Lana del Ray!


Flower child looks go well with overalls, but they can also be a chill dress down look for the spring and traveling! Not to mention an outfit like this is very cheap and I'm all about saving!

If you're not a flower child, there are grunge approaches to wearing overalls. The look below is so cool and edgy. It's a nice play on the overall style that I wouldn't have consider to look so cool! Wearing high tops or ankle boots like in the photo below would be a good look with overalls. Another shoe that I think would go great with this trend are sneaker wedges. If street and urban style is your type of hype, I say you should try it!

Another interesting play I saw on the overalls were this scarf! A cute infinity scarf looks simple chic and pretty comfortable. If you don't want to wear heels wearing vintage red shoes would also pair well with the striped shirt and scarf.

                 Ultimately, there are a lot of different ways to style this trend, and the fact that you could go to your local Goodwill to buy a high fashion outfit being sported in magazines like VOGUE sounds like a deal breaker to me! I guess I would have never guessed for overalls to become a trend, but fashion can definitely surprise you! I think it's a pretty innovative idea that could be styled with a lot of creativity, or even simplicity if just paired with a plain ol' t shirt. I kind of hope the trend picks up, it would be interesting to see more styles for this look!

Hope I helped, xo

    Leave me comments about what you think of the upcoming overall trend!

According to me:: Ombre Craze Isn't Over!

Ombre

Although many of you may already be up to trend with this style.. ombre refers to hair color fading from dark to light, or vice versa.

One positive that I personally see in ombre is the minimal degree of damage being done to

 the hair. When only the tips are ombre, you are not damaging your roots. I try to use as

 little chemical in my hair care preferences. Because who wants to touch up roots every 

month?!

So if you are considering to dye your hair, but you are a little weary about the upkeep and

 having to frequently dye your new growth; ombre is a great low maintenance technique 

you should consider. There are plenty of different styles of ombre that I've been discovering

 through research. Here are a few:

Now of course I can't speak for everyone… but I will; Kim K's ombre is pretty flawless, and a little bad a. I'm too lame for that. 
I've always been in love with red and blond hair, yay or nay?

Another thing I'm too lame for… If I could pull this off believe me I sooo would. It's a risky play on ombre and I'm pretty into it. So if you've got more balls than me, I say try it :)

Ombre can literally work for anyone, just give it a try! These are only a few of many different styles.



If your hair is relaxed like myself, beauticians will try to discourage you from any other 

chemical being applied to your hair. And they're right, especially if it is long, but there are 

plenty of health restoration products at your local beauty supply store. If you are not 

satisfied with the outcome, WAIT A COUPLE WEEKS TO RE-DYE. You don't want to damage 

your hair over hair dye, it really isn't worth it. Also, it is best to dye hair a week after your 

last perm.
This just so happens to be one of my favorite style gurus on YouTube BeautyByJJ, her choice of color looks sooo beautiful, but I'm darker than her so I wanted to find a really close reference to my skin tone. Otherwise this would be suitable for anyone (I'm just a bit picky)!
I'm also really in love with Estelle's ombre, it's a more subtle color, but it is great for those who are ebony toned.



In April I will be dying my hair ombre professionally. There are a few YouTube videos that I will link. But I'm way too lame to attempt something so permanent! I will be posting pictures of my hair in April to show you guys.


Much love, xo

PROM SEASONNN!

Hey lovelies, hope all is well.

Prom is coming up soon!

If you're like me, this is not information you are hearing for the first time. I've been planning for about a 

month or two now, and I have come to realize there aren't many blogs or websites who help in the 

process of planning. Even my partner in crime Pinterest doesn't have much to offer on this topic! It's 

can be pretty stressful if you're on a budget like me, so I thought I'd share a couple tips on how to 

save money and look good too! 

I will post a link to my Pinterest board for prom, but my style may be different than what you may be looking for. The main thing that isn't so subjective are couples pictures, hair styles and make up. Hope this is some assistance :)


     Most importantly, my first task at hand was to find a dress. Now contrary to popular belief, try not to 

search to much online about different silhouettes and colors that will suite you. Because, in the end, you 

may not even find what you are looking for, but maybe you'll find something even better and surprise

 yourself! The best thing to do is ask around and see what the best stores are in your area. But take 

these names down with caution!! No girl wants to show up at her prom to find another girl wearing 

your dress. If you see a rack full of the same dress, chances are someone else will buy it in your town, 

especially if you live in all small town like I do!

I have purchased my prom dress already, I went to several stores downtown trying to avoid places too close to home that I knew all my friends would be going to. I highly suggest going to a location where one of a kind dresses are made. It may sound a little silly, but hispanic owned malls or stores that sell Quinciniera dresses are very repitable stores. Most of them make their dresses one of a kind, and are fairly cheap. If you are residing in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, there is a mall called The Grande Plaza, which have many stores in there family owned and not too expensive. This is where I found my dress that I am in love with! Hopefully you can check it out because their choices are endless!

I will be posting more about prom, but only in sections so the information isn't too overwhelming.
