Princess Diaries

Hi everybody!

There's this dress. It's not an ordinary dress. It's bright pink and covered in beautiful embroidery all along the neck and hemline. It's the kind of dress that demands to be seen, and it makes me feel so fancy. It's such a bold piece that the accessories have to be minimal. Instead, I amped up the hair and makeup. I applied complementary gold shadow and made sure my skin looked flawless. As for the hair, I wore hair extensions for the first time and styled it in a half-up do. I really like these extensions, because they're soft and a bit lighter than my own hair, so it provides the subtle ombré I've always wanted. It also reminded me of how low-maintenance my current hair is. Overall, I just felt so glam taking these pictures, and I wish everyday could feel this amazing!

I hope you enjoyed!

Show Your Stripes + 2 Year Anniversary

Hi everybody!

Today marks this blog's two year anniversary! Woo! In honor of this milestone, I made a few changes to the blog, including a brand new header. I designed it myself, and included a few of my favorite things, like cupcakes and red lipstick. If I were ever a cartoon, this is what I'd look like - I have to keep the brow game strong, haha!A change was long overdue, considering I've had the same header for the past two years. I'm very proud of my little blog here, and I hope you know that every single post has been a joy to create. I look forward to making many more.

As for today's outfit, I'm totally excited about it. Most of the pieces were on sale at The Gap, and sales make me super happy. I have this navy and white striped top, which is very airy and loose fitting. I love stripes, they're my favorite pattern. Next I have this amazing pair of bright blue jeans. I knew it was meant to be when the last pair were in my exact size - no tailoring needed! Finally, I have these incredibly comfortable black sandals. The grandpa-style straps seem to be very in right now, and I'm not complaining!

I hope you enjoyed!

Flower Child

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is super comfy and relaxed. I really channeled my inner flower child with this look. On top I have this awesome blue and white striped crop top that I scored for a decent price at Forever 21. Then I paired it with an old favorite, this navy swishy skirt. I added bright pink accessories, like the floral headband, pink wrap-around bracelet, and pink rose. It was really fun having a prop to play with, maybe I'll do it more often!

I hope you enjoyed!

Lapis Lazuli Polka Dots

Hi everybody!

Today's outfit is cute and casual for a summer day out. I even got a compliment on it today! It's far too hot out to meander about in anything other than shorts or skirts. I found this lovely statement skirt on sale at J Crew. It has a bright, bold pattern that swishes about as I walk. Since it's so eye-catching, the rest of the outfit is rather complimentary with a plain white tee, and neutral accessories.

I hope you enjoyed!

New Hair!

Hey everybody!

Today I got a drastic haircut! It's a change I've been meaning to make for a while now. I decided to donate my hair, so that I couldn't chicken out at the last minute. I managed to donate 14 inches to Locks of Love! It's a very weird feeling suddenly getting rid of so much hair. My head feels lighter, my hair feels healthier, and my hair hasn't gotten caught on anything anymore. My new hairdo should also be easier to maintain. I'm so happy with my new short hair!

Hope you enjoyed!
