Beaded Beauty

Dress: Thrifted F21, Wedges: F21, Clutch: Jenny Packam

While in Austin there was so much to do (many happy moments over the weekend) but Chris and I managed to sneak in an outfit shoot at least one of the days. Even though I went for a blogging event, I wanted to spend some alone time with Chris just wandering the city and have fun making memories in a new city for us. In between classes and the prom party that night we walked around downtown and found a place to have lunch...oh and of course I couldn't resist a little shopping. This is the dress I wore the second day we were there. It's kind of perfect for me because I'm so bad at accessorizing but this dress has such a standout bodice I don't really need anything...win win.

Lucky Stripes

 Dress worn as top: Marshalls, Skirt: F21, Heels: Thrifted

Usually during the summer you wouldn't catch me wearing a long skirt. I thought for dinner though, I might just switch it up. Me and Chris went out for a "last meal" dinner. You know the ones you have before a new workout and nutrition plan and you eat whatever you want. Yeah, it was so good. What's better than pasta, wine, and sitting across from the best guy? I'm a lucky girl.

Hair Bow Tutorial

I'm a girly girl so naturally when I learned how to do a hair bow, I was hooked. How can you not love a hairstyle this fun...oh and the best part is that it's so easy. I promise it takes almost no effort and you can fix this up within a minute. Perfect for those days when you have little time to do something with your hair and want to have a fun attitude for the day.

 Pull hair into a high ponytail.  Pull hair halfway through rubber band so you have a high bun at top and your ends to the front of your head.

Pull apart your bun. Pull back your ends over the center of your pulled apart bun. Use a bobby pin to secure everything.

Oh look, you've got a bow in your hair!!
