Day-After Hair Guide

I am always busy and sometimes don't have them time to catch a shower in the mornings. Most of y'all have heard of "dry shampoo", but for those who haven't, it's probably one of the most amazing thing ever to have been created. Dry shampoos come in either a spray or a powder form, and when sprayed on your hair, will eliminate the oils from it immediately. It's kind of like taking a shower with out even touching water. I love dry shampoo, because it's easy to toss in your purse and effortless to make your hair back to looking good.  Below is a few recommended dry shampoos that I have personally tried that you should check out. (Most of the dry shampoos can be found at your local drug store, or super mart)
{I tried this one when I was in middle school, and still love it to this day! It comes in 9 different scents so you can give them all a try. The one shown here is cherry}
{This is will will always be my all time favorite. I bought it as a "what the heck" one day, and am slightly obsessed with it. I tend to see these more at Urban Outfitters than anywhere else.}

{This is the one that I am currently using. I like it a lot, but would personally recommend the two above before this one.}
{Now, I haven't tried this one but I have read GREAT reviews on it. This is most likely the next shampoo that I am going to try}


The way that I use my dry shampoo, is:
1. Spray dry shampoo at the roots where needed
2. Let it sit for a couple of seconds
3. Optional + if time allows blow dry on a medium setting
4. Massage in the dry shampoo where you sprayed
5. Scrunch your roots with your finger tips to give volume
6. You're done + looking great 


Hope this has helped {requested post},

Most Wearable 2014 Spring Fashion Trends


{shown from T to B: Jason Wu, Prabal Gurung}
This Spring you can expect to see several pastel colors to be in stores. Pastels are always a favorite and can be almost promised to be seen during the Spring season. The best part of the pastel trend is that it will never go out of style. So find some great pieces that you can both dress up and dress down and keep them around for years to come.

The boxy cropped jacket will be a wardrobe must have this season. This silhouette comes in hundreds of different prints from floral to stripped, or even the print shown above. With all these prints you are guaranteed to be able to mix and match with other prints as well.

I'm so excited that these are in. Every girl loves their boyfriend's button down, but does their shirt have a contrasting color and/or a textured collar and cuff? Didn't think so. Make sure you have this style in your closet this Spring. I know I will!

Believe it or not, but look what is back in for this season. That's right, the wide-leg. It's such an easy, ultra chic look that's easy to dress up or down. For those girls that don't reach six foot tall, try to find a pair of high waisted wide-leg pant so that it will elongate your frame. (you're welcome).

I love this tea length skirt. It's perfect for the spring and the pastel colors are a beautiful touch to these delicate pieces. You could pair a crop top with this piece to show a little skin or keep it modern and sexy by showing a little arm or even some shoulder.

Personally, I'm a little surprised that these are just now considered "in", when I just saw them last year in a clothing store. Anyways, I am a big fan on the contrasting stripe down the pant line. It gives the edge that it's been missing. I'm hoping to see more of these this Spring season because they are easy to wear and are fun to dress.

 The shift blouse is easy and much more sophisticated than your regular t-shirt. It's elbow length and boxy. I have seen several celebrities wearing this look already and it's adorable. I don't have one in my closet yet, but you bet that I will pretty soon.

YAY! I have a few of these in my wardrobe already. I love the collarless coat. You still get the preppy look but just minus the collar. Most of my coats are black so the next in my closet will be some sort of print. 

Hope this has given you a few fashion previews of what you could be expecting in the Spring season. I'm already saving up money so that I can go and snatch these pieces before anyone else does! Even though these were just a few of the Spring look, make sure to check out the video below to see more that will be in this years 2014 Spring collection.
