The Met Gala is often called fashion’s Oscars, where every famous Oscar star and fashions most influential names all come together on one night. I pretty much only ever watch award shows to see the fashion choices the celebs will be stepping onto the Red Carpet in, and while the Met Gala isn’t exactly an awards show it has just as much hype in the fashion world. There were definitely a lot of amazing and not so amazing choices in my mind this year. Here are my favorites for best […] Continue reading →

Less is more. This is a phrase that as I have gotten older I have grown to have a much better understanding of, but sometimes it can still be hard to do. It’s the phrase that all of our moms uttered to us at one point or another regarding a specific makeup or wardrobe choice…most likely this was followed up by a seriously serious eye role on our behalf. I was recently reminded of this phrase and my own fashion mishaps when I was in the dressing room the other day. While I was […] Continue reading →

These are the products that I am absolutely in love with right now. Amika Obliphica Hair […] Continue reading →

Braids once again are all the rage this season and I couldn’t be happier. Ever since I was a little kid I have loved braids! They work on people of all ages from kids to adults. They can be used to keep hair out of your face during a workout, or a quick fix when you are running late in the morning and don’t have time to shower before work. Since I have a lot of hair braids have always been my best companion for looking put together in a flash! The best thing about braids is that […] Continue reading →

I have been seeing Fishtail braids everywhere this season which I absolutely love! Fishtail braids may look complicated but they are actually even simpler than doing a french braid.

Next, take a small piece of hair from the outer area of the left section of hair and cross it over to the right. Now from the outer area of the right […] Continue reading →

I cannot believe that I did not figure this great trick out sooner! As you all know I have lived on the beach my whole life and have always loved how great my very curly hair looks in the summer with the humidity. I know strange right? But humidity actually does make my curls look nicer and more defined. I would always love how my hair would look when I got back from the beach and would hate to have to wash it before going out because it would just never look as good. Finally this summer I […] Continue reading →
