Summer Hair 101
Summer is made for salty sweaty hair. After spending the day outside (whether at the beach, rooftop BBQ, or running around the City) my hair is typically a mess. I love throwing in a small can of dry shampoo (now using Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo) in my day bag. Amika's travel size can is a perfect fit for your make-up bag and can easily be tossed in your day bag. One of the highlights of this dry shampoo is that you don't need a combo to get it through your tousles. Spray your scalp and finger it into your hair. This will give your hair a cleaner look, which is great for after beach drinks or just touching your hair up after spending the day outside.
I also like to use Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo as a style tool. The best time to style your hair, especially for us girls with pin straight hair, is when you hair is a little greasy. Too keep my hair (especially my bangs) from looking totally dirty I spray Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo before curling and styling my hair. Not only does it fresh up my hair but holds my curls.
Do you use dry shampoos, if so which ones?

Now Trending: Flared Jeans
Maybe it's a bit of the hippy girl in me, I've always been a fan of flared jeans. Before skinny jeans were all over the place, I've in jeans that had a bit of a kick to them. This summer, I'm totally embracing the trend. I like pairing flared jeans with oversized tops, like this peplum top from H&M, and a pair of heels to balance the look out.
Are you rocking the flared jeans trend this season?

Style Guide: How to Wear a Jumpsuit to a Summer Wedding
How I Wore the Look:
My husband and I attended his aunt and uncle's wedding vow renewals. It was a casual affair at his grandparents house in Maryland, where they had originally exchanged their vows 26 years ago. Though these photos are a recreation of the look, this is what I wore to the affair. It was perfect for a sticky evening outside, and stuffing my face with cake. The jumpsuit can easily transition from casual to dressy with a switch of accessories. I can't wait to dress this jumper up for work!
Would you wear a jumpsuit to a summer wedding?

This summer I am all about Flamingos!! From the first time I saw the flamingo print on Kate Spade's summer collection, I've been HOOKED. Flamingos remind me of sun, beach, and just overall summer happiness. FLAMINGO EVERYTHING PLEASE!

Since we went to Key West for our anniversary I couldn't think of a better place to rock the flamingo shirt. I wore this look out to dinner and drinks Saturday night in Key West. I had to pair this shirt with a feathery skirt! And I'm glad that I did, I got so many complainants on my look! More then I thought I would.
What do you think of the flamingo print?

This past weekend my husband and I took a quick trip to Key West to celebrate our one year anniversary. The number one essential for this trip was a dress that can transition from the streets to the beach. We spent time outside of the hotel exploring what Key West had to offer. Before hitting the beach Saturday, we spent it out wandering the streets and hitting up Blue Heaven for brunch. This Zara dress was the perfect day dress and beach dress. The transition from the streets to the beach was an easy one...flip flops and stripping down to your bikini!
How was your weekend?
