7/20/2019 0 Comments WHAT TO PACK FOR A SUMMER TRIP hello and happy Saturday! Summer is in full swing and since I just finished up a wonderful vacation, I thought I'd share what I packed for my trip! I'm leaving out the boring stuff like toothpaste, contacts, and phone chargers and instead focusing on the fun aspect of packing- the clothes!  PACKING TIPS & TRICKS★ first off, it is important to pack outfits that can transition between warm and cool weather and from daytime to nighttime. ★ another tip is to make sure you are packing pieces that can be easily mixed and matched with one another. ★ my favorite tip is to take flat-lay photographs of the outfit combos you are packing so you can visualize all the looks. ★ I've said this time and time again, but ACCESSORIZING IS EVERYTHING. Remember to pack bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses, scrunchies, etc. ★ lastly, be sure to think about what activities you'll be doing on vacation, who you're going with, and what type of environment you'll be in (i.e., urban, outdoors, etc.) when picking outfits. WHAT I PACKED In retrospect, I think I packed some pretty solid pieces for my vacation. I travelled all through northern Michigan for about a week and then ended the trip in Mackinac Island for a few days. The vacation consisted of a combination of outdoor activities (zip lining, biking, swimming), walking around towns, and going out to eat. Packing a combo of fancier and casual outfits was definitely the way to go for this particular trip.  Lastly, you can't forget about the slightly less fashionable essentials- i.e. socks, underwear, workout clothes, etc. I like to make a check list of all clothing items I need to ensure I don't forget any of these less glamorous pieces. enjoy your upcoming summer trips and have a great weekend :)

7/13/2019 0 Comments ☆How to look put together☆ Let's face it, no one looks great all the time, except maybe the Kardashians. There are a lot of tricks, however, we non-celebrities can use to make ourselves look stylish and put together. In this blog post I'm sharing my top tricks for always looking put together! TIP No. 1: paint your nails☆Nothing says "I have my life together" like a good manicure. Having two week old nail polish chipping off, however, screams "I'm busy, stressed, and don't have time to fix my nails." If you really are busy, stressed, and don't have time to upkeep a nail color, simply apply a clear coat- it gives your nails a shine & no one will notice when the polish wears off. TIP no 2: brush/style your hair☆If you want to look put together, the bedhead has got to go (unless, of course, you're going for a beachy vibe). Taking 2 minutes to brush through your hair instantly gives you a more polished appearance. TIP no 3: wear matching socks☆No judgement here, we've all worn different socks at the same time, but this simple switch to wearing a pair of matching socks goes a long way in helping you look put together. TIP no 4: tuck in your shirt☆This tip literally takes 2 seconds to do. When you tuck in your shirt, it gives you more of a shape, as well as keeps an outfit from looking sloppy. If you are in the mood to wear a comfy t-shirt but still want to look presentable, try tucking your shirt into whatever pants/skirt you are wearing! TIP no 5: ADD A TOUCH OF MAKEUP☆Don't take this tip the wrong way- you do not need makeup to look beautiful. Adding a little concealer, however, goes a long way in brightening up your face and making you look awake and fresh-faced. A little concealer, bb cream, and a swoop of mascara instantly wakes up your face and enhances your natural features. TIP no 6: accessorize☆Last but most certainly not least, accessorizing is a MUST. You are all likely tired of me sharing this fashion tip, but adding necklaces, a purse, hat, or statement belt transforms a plain outfit into a stylish, put together look! That's it for this Saturday's post! I hope you found these tips helpful and I look forward to sharing a new blog post next weekend :)  7/6/2019 0 Comments ☆MY GO-TO #OOTD hello & happy Saturday! A few months ago I wrote a blog post on the importance of having a go-to outfit. Well, this look I'm showing you today is that outfit. {if you want to read more about the importance of a go-to outfit, click the link below!} My everyday sense of style consists of mostly denim & t-shirt combos, so it's only fitting that my go-to outfit is a fun tee and Tommy jeans. My current fave tee is a shirt which reads "If you want to impress me, bring me chick-fil-a on a Sunday." I love how it's a conversation starter and adds major personality to my outfit. The rest of my go-to look includes my trusty Tommy Hilfiger jeans, favorite white chunky sneakers, a trendy clear plastic purse, and of course some gold jewelry! This is my most worn, favorite look due to its comfort & flair.
