5 of My Favorite Hairstyles

{Shoutout to Chloe for telling me I have great hair and inspiring this post #dwc}

I really like my hair, like I'm not even going to lie. I didn't name my blog after my hair color for no reason, I really do like my hair. Unfortunately, I'm pretty uncreative and I wear my hair in a routine of basic styles.. Here are my favorites:


One braid // A simple as it sounds, a braid can be so chic. I, being the unskilled person that I am, can't french braid for my life, so I love that a regular braid can be pulled off just as well. Tousle your hair a little and you're good to go! So easy...


Tousled Ponytail // TBH this is like my favorite hairstyle everrrr... I'm pretty much obsessed. My trick for achieving this hair style is to put myhair in a low ponytail and then tighten it the way kids do in second grade (aka pull both of the sides so it's yanked up) and then tada! Sometimes I get a funky giant loop in the middle of my head but it usually works out if I keep pulling and teasing...


Topknot // I don't wear my hair in topknots too often out in public, but they're super easy and just kind of fun to do! I loved wearing them in the summer to get my hair off my neck.. they're just fun!!


Half up- half down //  You probably all think I'm lazy because my hairstyles are mostly all two step processes. In this case, step 1. pick your front pieces and step 2. put them in a little ponytail. Haha this one is probably my most often worn style.


Just down // I don't usually do this because I have a weird sort of cowlick in the front of my hair so it always falls in my face, but sometimes I love being simple and doing nothing with myself!

How do you wear your hair?

PS- In case you are wondering, I don't do anything to my hair to get it like how it looks in the last picture (or any of the pictures in fact!). That is how it is naturally after it air dries from a shower! I don't even brush it... is that weird?

Fur


I want a fur. Like, I really just want a fur vest or scarf or snood or maybe even a jacket if I just went crazy. I tried on {this} Ugg sheepskin vest but I wasn't really down for paying $1,000 although the comfort was almost unreal... Here are a few of my favorites:

la fiorentina ($200) // steve madden ($50)
topshop ($130) // jack ($70)

Do you have a fur?? If so, where is it from or where do you suggest I find one?

BCBG

I did a little shopping this weekend and found myself trying on a whole bunch of BCBGeneration and BCBGMazazria clothes... although I didn't purchase any of them, the fall collections are really cute!!


I tried on this sweater, but unfortunately it was a little too small and they didn't have the next size up. It was a huge bummer because this is such a good price for something so versatile!



I saw this as I was walking out of the store yesterday, but I love it and might just have to back for it! I'm in love with those elbow patches!


I loved this top. I tried it on and it was so comfortable, but honestly it made me look a little fat because it's kind of tight but very stretchy!

Have you made any BCBG purchases recently?

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini Tote

I knew I wanted a nude/tan leather cross body bag for Christmas, and I've been searching high and low for the perfect option. I finally found one that just knocks my socks off.... It's literally perfect! Introducing... the Rebecca Minkoff MAB Mini Tote!


This is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen... It's a regular tote but it's mini!!! So precious... I'm a little worried though that "bittersweet" could be more orange than tan, but if so, there's always that navy option #navyornothing ;)


Seriously, I'm obsessed!! It's just about the cutttesst thing everrr!
