Fall ♡

Here are a few of my favorite shots from my most recent Brandy Melville photo shoot. We were very inspired by the fall time; cozy accessories, leaves, and the sunset :)

4 Quick & Easy Hairstyles! ★

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying your week so far :)

After my Victoria's Secret Inspired hair tutorial here, I have been getting a lot of requests to do another hair tutorial. This time instead of showing you guys how I were to do these looks via pictures, I decided to film another video seeing as how many people enjoyed the first one.

I know it's back to school and work time for many right now, so I thought of a few hair styles that can be done between 2-10 minutes when you're in a rush in the morning. These are just some of my favorite ways to wear my hair when I have no time to style it. Plus, I love not having to use heat on my hair and damage it even further. The video to these looks will be inserted at the end :)

Half-up, half-down braided boho look

I have so many different ways of doing this look. Sometimes instead of using an elastic, I just clip my hair back and sometimes instead of having a middle part I do a side part. It's all up to how you want to re-create it for your personal style.

Twisted side braid

This one is something I decided to do as a dupe for the fishtail braid. I know that for many people, the fishtail can take them a lot of time. This is just a quicker way but equally as nice!

Low twisted bun

 This style honestly takes one minute. It's so simple but so pretty. I wear this almost on a daily basis.

Upside down french braided sock bun

This is by far my favorite look. I love how it looks like a normal sock bun, but when you turn around there's a french braid. I like to wear my braid loose but it's up to you how tight you want it :)

*UPDATE*

This is how I did the look on my friends hair :)

Thank you guys for continuing to support me!!

Love you!

Here's the video showing you how I do these looks!! ❤

Victoria's Secret Inspired Hair

I don't think it's possible for me to count the amount of times people ask me how I style my hair. I find it even more amusing to see their reactions when I tell them I use a straightener to get my curls. So today I decided to show you guys how I get my "Victoria's Secret" inspired hair look. It looks great on any hair type and all lengths. I used to rock it every day with my long hair, but ever since I got it cut I haven't tried it out because I thought it wouldn't look as good. Well, I was wrong. I've been really enjoying how it looks with my hair length at the moment. If I play around with it and tease it a little, it gives an edgier, rocker vibe. Plus, if ever I want long hair again I can just use extensions.

You will need:

-Straightener
-Hair brush
-Clips and hair ties to hold your hair in sections
-Heat Protectant
-Moroccan or Argan oil
-Smoothing cream

I purchased my ghd straightener in Australia and it is by far my favorite

Bumble and Bumble have such great hair products. This
is perfect for smoothing out my hair after styling.

Great heat protectant and leaves hair looking shiny
You spray it throughout your hair before you use any heat on it

This stuff smells amazing and lasts in your hair all day.
I rub it through my fingers and then spread it out evenly
on the ends of my hair.

How to curl with straightener:

Grab a section of hair with your straightener

Twist it once around the straightener

Pull down as if you were straightening your hair normally, while keeping the twist

That's it! I clip my hair into three sections (bottom of my ears to the bottom of my scalp, then my crown to the bottom of my ears, and finally I finish with the top section of my head). I like to do one strand away from my face and then one strand towards my face so that the curls look more textured rather than all one way. The strands around my face I curl away, not towards so it gives a more "wind blown" look. Also, you can use hairspray to keep the curls in place, but I enjoy the feeling of non-crunchy hair, plus my curls hold all day long without any.

How it looks from the back

I keep the top section of my hair (near the roots) straight so the curls look more fallen

How it looked with my outfit for the day

I Hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Let me know if you tried it and how it worked out :)

**I will be dyeing my hair soon, so I'll do a whole blog about that experience!

OOTD: Red.

Happy weekend everyone! Today I decided to show you guys my outfit of the day. I've been so obsessed with thin, soft, flowy sweaters this past winter and I'm completely in love with one in particular from Brandy Melville. It has white and beige thin horizontal stripes and it's a high-low style (meaning the front is higher than the back). I paired it with my biker, leather looking leggings from tobi.com and my knee high boots from Free People. My scarf is from Forever21, my socks are from Urban Outfitters, and my leather purse is from Little Burgundy. I wore red lips to compliment my purse and to add a pop of color to my outfit.
