Barely There Waves

I've been really into swapping my classic flat iron curls for a more relaxed wave. It took some experimenting, but I finally found a technique for barely there bed-head waves that didn't require me to go out and buy a wand or curling iron, and for that I am thankful.

You'll need: Flat Iron, Dry Shampoo, Heat Protectant & Hairspray

My flat iron and I created a tutorial for you, in case you wanted to experiment with it. What I love about this technique is how easy it is, or in other words, how lazy it lets you be. You don't even have to curl your entire strand of hair – the ends are straight – and that means minimal damage, too. 

A Million Bucks

You know that old saying, "It ain't fall until the fur comes out," right? No? Well, it's a thing, I promise. At least for me, it is. I can't put my finger on it, but wearing fur makes me feel like a million bucks, so the minute it gets cold enough to pull this vest out, I'm doing it.

The only dream I have at this present moment is to somehow live a life where luxurious fur coats, vests & shawls are a part of my everyday wardrobe.

Speaking of things I can't quite put my finger on, can anyone tell me why/how Thanksgiving is this week? I know everyone is already asking it, but where did 2015 go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was laying out my goals and dreams for the year. See proof here.

The only dream I have at this present moment is to somehow live a life where luxurious fur coats, vests and shawls are a part of my everyday wardrobe. Silly, perhaps, but if there was something that made you feel like a million bucks, you'd want it all the time, too, no?

No More Boyfriend Jeans

Some days you lazily roll out of bed and want nothing more than to wrap yourself up in a loose tee, oversized flannel and throw on your just-so-distressed boyfriend jeans. Not only is it comfortable, it can make you look effortlessly chic, too.

But there is a little bit of a problem with our favorite trend, ladies. It's sorta-kinda-really sexist. Calling our loose fitting jeans or button ups "The Boyfriend" feels like we're giving guys more credit than they deserve. Why does our fabulous style choices have to be claimed by our respective men-folk? 

Watch below for my full on analysis of this pressing issue.

Back Home

I may be speaking too soon, but I finally feel settled in after my trip last week. I don't know why, but everything felt all over the place the moment I landed back home. I mean, you don't just bounce back from a trip to New York, right?

Being in the south for over ten years has spoiled me. How do I keep warm without looking like I've rolled myself up in 20 different blankets?

It was nice coming back to Atlanta as it transitioned from gray rainy-ness to mild fall weather. I'm currently reevaluating my entire wardrobe as I begin packing up to make my move. There's no way I could wear this midi dress & trench vest ($14!) in New York this time of year.

In the next month, I'll be spending time time doing a lot of research on how to survive a northern winter. Being in the south for over ten years has spoiled me. How do I keep warm without looking like I've rolled myself up in 20 different blankets? Please, if you care about me at all, send help.
