Simple and cute hairstyles for everyday wear

                            Today I went back to work and it just was a reminder that Summer is coming to an end. It just made me think back to hairstyles I tried this summer. I really enjoyed finding different hairstyles to try. I found most of the hairstyles I used on Pinterest. You can really stay there searching and searching for different ideas forever lol. A few posts back I wrote about a few hairstyles I tried and all were quick and easy to do. What I love about these hairstyles is not only can they be used in the Summertime, they are too cute and can be transitioned to the fall season. With my hair being shorter or a type of lob style I looked for different ways to style it. I love a cute bun and I like how they can be styled by either wearing your hair up or down. The hairstyle I tried was a half-up do and put a high bun on top. However, I have also seen it be called a knot or top knot hairstyle. One of my lovely friends Michelle, her and I are in love with fashion and talking about it. When her and I get together we always say it is trouble because we love to shop (a lot) lol and we can share different tips and what fashion or hairstyle we like to try. I love her style and I am sharing her hair of the day she used when she went to a concert. She wore a hair up hair down hairstyle. What is so cute about this style is how she added curls to it. This hairstyle also went perfect with what she wore it was blue jeans shorts and a tank with a plaid shirt around her waist, tights with combat boots. She also tries different hairstyles wearing her hair to the side as a side pony tail (who doesn't love a good side ponytail) and also buns with or without headbands. The hairstyles we tried can be dressed up or down. What is a hairstyle you have tried? Comment below we would love to hear from you!

Fall wear

         When I moved to a new city I was happy to see there would be a Nordstrom close by me! I have been finding such cute items here and plus they are on sale (huge plus)!! Shown below are my items I picked for the Fall season, I had been wanting an  Olive color utility vest and when I saw one there I had to have it. What I like about it, was the length of it and how it can be worn with booties for the Fall season. However, not only could you wear a utility vest for the Fall season pair it with shorts and a tee and converse or sandals and wear in the Spring or Summer. I have also been looking for blouses I can wear to work and the weekend. I ordered the Lush brand, Olive color 3/4 sleeve blouse and when I received it I loved it! I have already worn it to work, but I can't wait to wear it with jeans and booties. There are a variety of colors to pick from, but I just loved the Olive color because I feel it such a great color for the Fall season. I have also been looking for distressed jeans and the BLANKNYC 'Skinny Dipper' Distressed Skinny Jeans are a must have!! I can't wait to receive them!
The prices are marked down and go back up in 3 days!! Visit nordstrom.com to search their Anniversary sale #nsale and pick your fall items today! I have also went to the Nordstromrack store and bought such cute blouses, they were on sale as well! I snagged items that I can wear right now for Summer and transition to the Fall season! I soon will be wearing and posting the blouses I bought at Nordstromrack on my blog for ootd!

Chambray everyday

          Earlier today we got a little rain in our area! I'm not too fond of the rain because of course you can't do too much and the humidity makes your hair (or at least mine) gets frizzy. However, today it was nice because I was able to wear my chambray blouse. I just feel you can wear a chambray blouse, dress or romper everyday! The material is so comfortable and you can wear any type of shoes with it. It is also a go to outfit to go out on a date or dinner with the girls. Style it with heels and jewelry and you are ready to hit the town! On rainy days I usually try to curl my hair, due to my hair being thick and it can look frizzy. Back in April I cut my hair, similar to a lob style and had always wanted to try the choppy curl look. Though I didn't quite to the choppy curls, it such a cute style to learn! Looking forward to styling it like this again. I also noticed today my hair is growing. I couldn't get to cut my hair too much (like a lob style) because my hair was in layers that I am really thinking about cutting it again to get that style. In my opinion shorter hair is easier to style, it doesn't take too long to do! What is your rainy day hair of the day and outfit? Comment below I would love to hear from you!

Versatile Tank tops

                           Tank tops are one of those items all women have in their closets. They are easy to style because they go with pretty much everything.  I like to exercise (to an extend lol), but one workout I love to do is yoga. I been enjoying getting back to my yoga routine not only because it is great I also get to use these tanks with workout tights. It's just great to find an item that can easily be style with everything in your closet. Plus when  you just want a quick ootd, these tanks are versatile and can be dressed up or down. Since it has been a hot summer (as always lol), these tank tops are great to wear with shorts. However, if you want to wear jeans they pair great with them too. If you worry about wearing jeans in the summer, tank tops give you an reassurance that you will feel cool, while looking stylish. I purchased my tank tops from old navy, they have such cute items! What I love about these tanks is how different each one is. I bought one tank (not shown in the blog), it has a high neck and a flowy style. The other two (blue and pink) are high neck as well, but they open from the back. A tulip open from the back style (as described at old navy). The last tank (shown in the picture) is a stripe tank and has thin straps and what I liked when I saw this tank is how you can add a hat to this outfit. So cute for the summertime. One last thing to add is that all were on sale!! 3 of them were $2!! The stripe was $6, bargain shopping is the best! If you haven't gone by old navy check them out for their great deals. Also tanks are a great item to transition into the fall season. What is your favorite tank top? Comment below I would love to hear from you!

Messy bun with a braid

                                        Today was one of those days where you feel lazy and resort to put on something comfy. I was wearing tights, but I just felt I wanted to wear something else. I am not one to get dressed right away, because sometimes I feel I have nothing to wear. I'm sure readers can relate haha. Though I just wanted to be comfortable and I put on my favorite pair of jeans. I had also bought some cute sandals from old navy (which were on sale) and I been wanting to wear them everyday if I can! I have been enjoying the summertime because I have the time and energy to try different hairstyles. I love a messy bun look, you can wear it high up on  your head or low. It just looks great with anything you wear. I decided to pair the messy bun look with a braid. I have bangs that I wear to the side, but today I didn't want to style them. This hairstyle allowed me to braid my bangs and then all I did was just twisted my hair and got a messy bun look.  This day was all about relaxed vibes. What do you wear on lazy days? Comment below I would love to hear from you!

Simple and cute hairstyles

              Lately, I had been looking for simple, but cute hairstyles. I have always loved a braid hairstyle, they are easy to do and plus they make your hairstyle look cute with little effort needed. In the summertime, you look for quick and easy styles that will make you feel fresh. I haven't been in the mood to straighten my hair or style it with a blow dryer. However, if I do wear it down I try to look and wear it up when I can. With the styles I had been wearing (shown in the pictures), they take less then five minutes to do. I styled my hair in two pictures (top), which I straighten my hair the previous day and then in the other one I styled it in a pony tail and added a braid to it. The other day I just did a quick blow dry and wore it half up then added a braid on one side. I love to look at Pinterest for hairstyle ideas and been wanting to try a crown braid. It of course looks better in the tutorials, haha but I did try my best. I let my hair air-dry to give it a wavy/messy look and then I added thick braids on both sides. Then I used bobby pins to twist them together. Since it was my first time to try this style I didn't get quite to this look, but I still was happy with it because it was easy to do! I seen in the pictures you can loosen up the braid and then wrap each braid to each other on both sides. There are so many ways to wear braids and can't wait to try more. They are great to wear on hot summer days, to the pool or simply when you want quick easy styles! What is your favorite hairstyle? Comment below I would love to hear from you!

Summertime wear

              This summer I have been living in these blue jean shorts (shown below). Well not literally, haha but I do wear them as much as I can. We look for cool and comfort in the summer and this is exactly what these shorts provide. I bought these shorts back in May and I knew they would come in handy. What I like about these shorts is the length and style. They aren't too short and the cuff fold makes it look as they are a short length. However, they aren't. These shorts are easy to style because they go with pretty much every blouse/shirt and shoe. They had a lighter stone wash color, but not in my size. Either way I am happy with this purchase and look forward to styling them through this summer. What is your favorite summertime wear? Comment below I would love to hear from you.
