Nail Art/Designs seem to be the next trend- I'm seeing the coolest designs EVERYWHERE and I think it's so fun to look at! There are so many that I want to try and DIY but I realize that it'll be hard to do my right hand so I never end up trying any of them (how COOL are the Halloween nails, I'm obsessing over the skeleton design!). Also, a lot of these nail designs look better on longer nails and I always end up cutting my nails, it's so hard for me to grow them out..I hate the feeling of my nails being too long.  After doing this post though it has inspired me to try to grow them out again...we'll see what happens!

Subtle Prints

Happy Friday! Subtle prints like mini florals and stripes (my top is very thinly striped) made our outfits coordinate in its own way- basic colors like black/white/browns/greys mixed in with random colors here and there are always my go-to type outfits, 1 colored item and the rest basic..easy!

Can't believe it's OCTOBER next week...Oct is the official start to the holidays (if you don't know already Halloween is one of our FAVORITE holidays!) so as excited as we are that Oct is right around the corner...it's also freaking us out that it's...right around the corner. We haven't even planned out our costumes yet and usually we know WAY ahead of time what were going to be...

time needs to slow down a little.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Buylove, Inspired: Summer..Lovin' Hats!

I recently got back from a quick vacation to Hawaii and got BURNED from laying out on the beach every day. A nice summer hat would have came in handy to protect my face from the sun, I've been seeing so many cute ones around but it's so hard to find the right one for my face shape! There's just way too many colors, styles, and patterns available I feel like it's going to take me forever to decide on one. This post has inspired me though to narrow down what kind of style I want to make it easier for myself and I think I'm leaning more towards the brown straw type floppy hats! I'm determined to find a cute one to last me through the rest of summer- wish me luck on my quest to find the perfect summer hat ;)

Maxi-ing Out!

I've been on the search for a cute Maxi dress! Honestly though, I never felt like I would be able to pull off the maxi look because of my height- I always thought maxi dresses looked better on taller girls but Celia found a few that looked GOOD (Celia's 5'2 and I'm 5'4) so I thought I'd start looking for one again. As I was searching for maxi dresses I started to find jumpsuit type maxis and I fell in love with the new style!

Maxis are PERFECT for those lazy days- days where you just don't want to think about what you have to wear but you don't want to be too bummed out in sweats either. They're comfortable, perfect for SPRING, and easy to dress up and down (wear them with sandals OR throw on heels/wedges for a night out!). Believe it or not, TARGET has some really cute maxis that are both comfortable, fun colored, and priced just right! Forever 21 also has some good choices and if you want to try out the jumpsuit style like I did (they're SO comfortable) you should! I can easily dress up the jumpsuit maxi with heels for a night out too ;)
