Shopping Shall We?

This is the perfect outfit for window shopping with the besties! It remains cute as a button while being easy to slip in and out of for all those fun, new clothes you are going to try on! Even though the look is simplistic, the accessories glam it up, styling pink and gold dangle earrings (or opt for pink rose studs for a more comfortable feel), and a stack of gold bracelets. However, it doesn't stop here because you can't forget the necessary shades to protect your eyes from the sun, wrist wallet to hold your phone and some cash, and of course cute shoes such as these crochet Toms for obvious reasons. Now go strut your stuff as you try on every window's display! Comment below what is your favorite piece of clothing or accessories to shop for :)

Cutie on your Mind (or rather on the Screen)?

I love to kick back and spend the night out with my best girl friends every once in a while (I am actually doing so tonight)! I always have the desire to express myself through fashion even on the laziest of days so the movies are no exception. This outfit shown above has just the right amount of both comfort and high class sass! A simple white v-neck keep it casual when paired with those high-waisted bold tribal print shorts. And to keep the color scheme going, matching your accessories such as those strappy wedges, black sunglasses, and gold necklace. Now off to the movie theatre to watch the lastest romance or comedy! Do you like the outfit? What would you change? Comment below your opinions :)

Dance the Night Away with Your Favorite Band

Last week I went to a Train/TheScript/Gavin Degraw concert (which was so incredible!), but leading up to it, I was bewildered! I wanted to wear something that was both comfortable yet fashionable in the sense that others would admire or want to wear it. I ended up wearing an outfit similar to this and absolutely loved it. This look works for country concerts (switch out combat boots for cowboy boots), rock concerts (go for darker washes and black instead of brown boots), or even alternative bands (which I would keep this looks the same for). Wearing high waisted jean shorts is comfy and easy to dance around in while looking great paired with a loose floral tank (make sure to wear a skin colored bra underneath just in case your shirt flies up while dancing). Simple yet artistic jewelry like this bird long necklace, and a feather ring pulls the look together as it matches the studs on the combat boots. Opt for either combat boots or boating shoes like Sperry's to ensure that your toes don't get stomped on and are comfortable for dancing/walking around all night!

Meeting with the Big Leagues

Going on college visits this summer? You definitely will need to look professional yet comfy and cool at the same time. Hard to do sometimes! Try going with a look like this: not too tight jean shorts, a loose but fitting button up shirt (buttoned up with about 2 or 3 buttons on top undone), and an over-sized but form-flattering blazer (with sleeves cuffed)! Keep the jewelry simple like a ring, couple of bangles, and a short necklace. Opt for your nails painted (no chips) to look like you have yourself together (french manicures would work great for this!). Remember to shake their hands, ask questions, and be yourself! Good luck :)

Lace, Cropped tanks, and floral shorts... YES PLEASE!

Combing some of the season's best new trends: cropped tops, and patterned shorts! I love to keep it comfy on those really humid, hot days so this would definitely be my go to outfit. Pairing a white lace cropped tank with blue and off-white floral shorts is just adorable, and who can forget those comfy gray keds and the sunnies! Ditch the face and eye makeup, and go for sunglasses and a bold coral lip :)

Too Hot for a Smokey Eye!

In the summer time, I often find my makeup looks to be much simpler if even there at all. Instead of doing those common brown smokey eyes, go for a more fun yet easier look! Dust on some neutral or sand colored eye shadow on your lid and take one of your favorite colors in a waterproof eye liner and liner your eyes.(You can go simpler with only the top or only the bottom.) Make sure it is dry then apply mascara, opt for either length or volumizing instead of both so it makes the look more laid back. Dab on your lip balm with SPF and of you go with your day without having to worry about all that makeup on your face smearing! What colors would you do? Have you tried this before?

Try a single flower instead of a crown!

Let's face it we all get tired of our usual hairstyles. I would love to try pinning my hair back in a normal half updo and adding two fishtail braids from the sides. Not done yet! Connect the braids in the middle of the back of your head with one of these flowers attached to a bobby pin!
I realize you may not have one of these, but they are just as easy to make. Go to the craft store and buy a couple of little flowers or buy a lei and cut out one of the flowers. Then hot glue the flower to a bobby pin and WALLAH! (You can also add additional glitter or sparkles to the flower for a classier look!)

P.S. These would be gorgeous for a prom hairstyles for a lavender colored dress!

Paris and its Perks

Who wouldn't love a day in Paris, France? Tag along with your best friend and show off your style in this look! A simple white tank with a cute saying combined with these nude colored high-waisted shorts bejeweled at the bottom. Obviously with all the sight seeing your feet are going to be tired so opt for some white strappy sandals instead of those heels. Lastly, can't forget the accessories! A gold studded purse is big enough to carry your wallet, phone, and all your favorite makeup products (Is it possible to carry to many lip glosses and lip balms??) and looks great as it compliments the gold chain necklace. What would you wear to Paris if you had the chance? Comment below or send us an email at loveanditslooks@gmail.com :)

Watermelon? Don't mind if I paint?

As we all know, watermelon is a must for the summer. BBQ'ed meats, corn, and some watermelon is practically the meal of the summer along with potato chips! These watermelon nails are adorable, and all you need is a red, dark green, lighter green (optional), and black nail polishes. Simply paint your whole nail red, then thickly line the top of the nails with the dark green. After this dries, take a toothpick and draw squiggly lines with the lighter green on top of the dark green, and use the other end of the toothpick to dot black polka dots on the red! Simple but definitely an eye-catcher! What is your favorite fruit? Ever paint your nails like it? Comment below or send us an email at loveanditslooks@gmail.com
