Must-Have Monday: Patterned Pants

Hey Everyone!

Welcome back to another Must-Have Monday!

Today's must have is an awesome spring trend: patterned pants! I have always wanted a pair on patterned pants but I was worried that they would draw too much attention to my legs. However, I found a pair and this was not the case. These pants are so chic and comfortable and with the right styling tips they look amazing. That being said, today's post has some tips so you can try this must-have trend too!

1. Show a little skin: on a warm spring day, try a simple crop top with high-waisted patterned pants. Add heels for a more sophisticated look, and don't forget killer accessories!

2. Loosen-up: If your patterned pants are more on the tight side, try a loose tee. And if you wanna add a little more, where a chic sunhat!

3. Accessorize with Colour: If you have coloured pants, choose a colour from them that you like and match your purse to that colour while keeping the top neutral

4. Pick and Choose: similar to number 3, if your pants have some colour, choose one colour and match it with your top. A button down top always adds an extra level of sophistication.

5. Chambray: Chambray tops work with anything, including patterned pants, just button it up and tuck it in. You can also add a little something extra with a bright coloured purse.

6. Blazer: Try patterned pants in the office by throwing on a blazer and heels.  

7. Get loose and tuck it in: Similar to number 2, opt for a loose tee, but add some extra class by tucking it in, and don't forget a matching purse!

That's it for today! Enjoy the rest of your Monday!

How to: Wear a Romper

Welcome back fashionistas!

Today's post is inspired by a purchases I made last week: a romper. It made me wonder how I can wear it with out looking too casual or childish. So I did some research and found a few helpful ideas that can make wearing one a cinch! 

If you are not sure what exactly a romper is... it's basically a one piece with shorts.

Since a romper isn't the easiest piece of clothing to pull off, these six rules will help you to wear one and look fabulous!

1. Make sure it's not too tight. Rompers aren't supposed to look like second skin, also you want to avoid a camel-toe...

2. Watch the length. Your butt cheeks shouldn't be peeking out; the bottom of the romper should reach the ends of your fingertips, or at least cover your entire bottom.

3. Choose a solid-colored romper. Though floral patterns are fun and cute. solid colors tend to look classier, or try a denim pattern like the one below

4. Break up the outfit with a belt. Doing this keeps the romper from looking like an adult onesie.

5. Layer up. Rompers are easy- breezy, but adding a cute jean or military-style jacket over one makes the whole look feel more put-together.

6. Wear a wedge with it. Rompers are casual as it is, so don't just throw on flip-flops. A little effort can go a long way.

As you can see, there are many ways to make a romper look sophisticated and classy! Use these six rules and you will look perfect all summer long in your one piece!

How to: Perfect Beach Waves

Hello fashionistas!

As summer approaches it is important to know how to create the seasons hottest hair trend: beach waves. It can be difficult, but this guide will help you get the perfect hair for summer, whether you have straight, wavy, or curly hair, and if you are actually going to the beach or not!

Bumble and bumble. Surf Spray, $25

Straight: Wash hair and let air dry, then apply a texturizing spray. With a medium sized curling iron, take 2-inch sections of hair and wrap it around the barrel. You don't want your hair to look too perfect so take messy sections. After the curls cool, finger comb and spritz in more texturizing spray if needed. 

A good product to try for texturizing spray is Bumble and bumble surf spray, $25 sephora.com

Miss Jessie’s Pillow Soft Curls, $22, missjessies.com

Wavy: Start with day-old locks for a little extra texture. If you want to get tousled waves fresh out of the shower, apply a curl cream, put your hair in a loose bun, let it dry, then touch up any flat sections with a large barrel curling iron. Flip your head upside down, spray all over with a texturizing spray, and lightly scrunch the curls with your hands! 



Curly: Blow out your hair with a round brush to straighten your hair out a bit before creating the waves. Apply an anti-frizz serum before you grab your blow dryer, so summer humidity won’t ruin your look. Then, use a medium-sized curling iron to create loose waves and add a surf spray for texture. 
Try Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Extra-Strength Forula, $9, drugstore.com

Marc Anthony Beach Waves spray, $10,
amazon.com

There you have it! How to get the perfect beach waves no matter what type of hair you have. Click here for the full article from Seventeen Magazine.

Personally, after I wash my hair I scrunch it with Marc Anthony Beach Waves spray, then, when my hair is still slightly damp, I tie it in a loose bun. Once I take it out...BAM... perfect beach waves!
I recommend that if you aren't happy with your beach waves, watch a couple of youtube videos, they are always super helpful!

Thanks for reading today's post and I hope it was helpful!
Have a great day, and see you next time!
