Hair Bow Tutorial

I'm a girly girl so naturally when I learned how to do a hair bow, I was hooked. How can you not love a hairstyle this fun...oh and the best part is that it's so easy. I promise it takes almost no effort and you can fix this up within a minute. Perfect for those days when you have little time to do something with your hair and want to have a fun attitude for the day.

 Pull hair into a high ponytail.  Pull hair halfway through rubber band so you have a high bun at top and your ends to the front of your head.

Pull apart your bun. Pull back your ends over the center of your pulled apart bun. Use a bobby pin to secure everything.

Oh look, you've got a bow in your hair!!

Into Action

 The weekend went by so fast but luckily it was a really productive weekend for me. Chris and I have been wanting to move in together and finally went to look at a few places to call our home. It's pretty exciting to finally get everything into motion and start talking about decoration plans. We also went shopping at the mall...it's been months since I've been to the mall. I usually do most of my shopping online now or at the thrift store. I ended up picking up this blouse from Forever 21 along with a few other things. Olive has always been one of my favorite colors but I didn't own anything in it. So glad to finally add it to my closet.

Monochromatically Speaking

Denim Button Up: Target, Skirt: Thrifted

Here's another all blue outfit...and yes I promise, I'm wearing shoes. lol. I love the casual girly feel of this look with a denim top and shimmery skirt. It's a fun combination. These were some lost forgotten photos from about a month that I found on my laptop today. I remember asking Chris that day to take some photos of what I was wearing and the camera died on us about 3 photos in. We ended up sitting in the grass and talking until the sun went down. Somehow my camera turned back on while he was messing with it and he was able to snap a few photos of the sunset...aren't they just gorgeous? He likes to take pictures of scenery, nature, flowers...all that good stuff. I think he's amazing. 

Hope you all have a relaxing weekend.

Into the Blue

Blouse: Target, Skirt: F21, Wedges: Thrifted Rocket Dog 

Just a simple outfit. Blue on blue, mixed of different shades and texture. I didn't feel like dressing it up with heels so I went with summer wedges. Wearing a skirt like this can be dangerous in the wind. Dangerous but fun. I love the way it flows in the wind. This was a movie date outfit. To be quite honest   I've been having a lot of movie date outfits lately. Three in the past week to be exact.
