Nude Nights

There is a reason that Nude is on trend right now and it goes back to my summer philosophy: look cute, but don’t try too hard.
Summer nights can be hot and sticky and black just feels too heavy. A neutral dress feels light and airy, easy to throw on and will highlight the tan you got at the beach.
Here are a few I found on shopbop that I am loving…

Product Review: Phyto Instant hydrating conditioner



The other day I was at Kasai, that salon I told you about here, when the stylist pointed out that my hair was pretty damaged from the highlights I got a few months back. This sadly is NOT news to me. I have been battling with the effects of the bleach since the very first wash which I also mentioned here and here .

I have breakage in the front of my hair which is apparently the most delicate and as a result I have been battling flyaways. You can kind of see it in this picture…and it really drives me crazy!


The stylist told me about this leave in conditioner which she said will help….
She was definitely not kidding. This stuff not only is great as a conditioner, but if you use it to tame flyaways instead of hairspray you don’t get that crunchy effect.

I also got the Serum that I told you about here and I am loving that stuff too.

I got this stuff at the salon, but Phyto is available at Sephora.

Also I just wanted to say…
Congrats to Valerie of Red Vines for Breakfast and my BBFF Amanda from A.Co Est. 1984 for being featured in FabSugar’s Look’s of the week!! Check them out here

Festivus on the brain…

Aside from Christmas, Fourth of July is my favorite time of the year. BBQ’s, beaches, frosty beverages, good friends…

It’s one of those holidays though that I always want to look cute, but I don’t want to have to try too hard.

Here are a few items I found on Asos that I thought were simple but chic.

Casual Friday

I have been looking forward to it being Friday all week and now that’s it’s finally here I have so much to do! I’ve had a friend staying with me for the whole month of June and she finally left yesterday. While I love having company and love seeing my friends, it does feel nice to get my house back :) Of course now I have to start preparing for my BF to come next weekend for the fourth of July :) :) This is where the so much to do comes in.

Went out and about on the town with this outfit. By the beach we get June Gloom and the weather has been pretty mild so jeans made perfect sense. I am hoping it warms up by next weekend! Fourth of July festivities are my favorite!!

Have a great weekend!!

I Can’t Stop Listening To….

I am absolutely nuts about Christina Aguilera’s new album Bionic. It is a girl anthem record from start to finish! I have had it on repeat on my ipod when working out, in my car when driving and in my house when I’m putting on make up. It is feel good and fun and I highly recommend it!

Christina has been like Madonna over the years trying on different personas and taking fashion risks. Some have been good some not so much, but I definitely see her as someone who has embraced her sexuality as well as her femininity and made no apologies for it.

I think it’s an inspiration to all of us girls no matter if you are single, married, have children or whatever…you are a woman, embrace it and be fearless!!
