#OOTD Summer Fun Outfit!!

    Hey Lovelies! So today I have a fun outfit to show you! I was going to lunch with some people, and I was getting compliments from everyone! So I knew if random people were complimenting me, then I definitely need to show it to my lovely viewers! I love this outfit especially now, cause it is perfect for summer! It shows some midrift, but not too much! The skirt I just got and I am in love, I love the floral print; finally I have found the perfect circle skirt! I like this crop top because it is light weight and perfect for hot summer days! I just feel like the wedges just finish the outfit! Since so much is going on with the floral and stripes, I decided to add just a gold bracelet! 


Red Stripe Crop Top: American Eagle 
Floral Circle Skirt: Forever 21

DIY Hair Masks!!



Hey lovelies!! I do so many fashion posts, not many hair posts. So today I am talking about two hair DIY masks that you could make right in your kitchen with ingredients mostly everyone has, or can get very easily!! The first one is dealing with dull, lifeless hair! You will be able to revive your lustrous strands making them have a little more body and shine! The second mask will be a damage repair mask! I know that some deep conditioning masks can be pricey and not everyone can afford them, so I have the best mask that isn't to pricey and works just as well. 

Mask 1: Revive Dull Strands:
    You will need 1 over ripe banana and a wide tooth comb. Mash the banana into a paste consistency. Apply it to hair, wet or dry. Let it sit in your hair for 30 minutes. After, use a wide tooth comb to get the banana out of your hair and shampoo and condition thoroughly. You will have glossy and shiny hair in no time!!

Mask 2: Damage Repair:
    You will need 2 eggs, 2 tbsp. (tablespoons) of olive oil, 1/2 ripe avocado, and 2 oz. (ounces) of water. Combine all the ingredients into a bowl, then apply it to dry hair with your fingers. Let it sit in your hair for 10 minutes. Rinse and shampoo thoroughly. This mask is great because it adds vitamins and fatty acids into the cuticles of the hair, fixing the damage!

So, those are the two masks, revive dull strands and repair damage!! I hope you try these two masks out and like them!! Have a great day and come back for some more fun!! P.S. -- leave in the comments what other posts you would like to see me do - fashion, beauty, and lifestyle!! 

Thanks,

Are You a Perfume Expert??

Hey Lovelies!! I love to wear perfume; to me it makes me feel girlie and complete!! I always think of it as the finishing product to any great outfit. I know everyone does the old technique of the spray and walk through but, you may not know how to put on your perfume the right way. So, today I will be talking about the right way to apply perfume to make it vibrant and last longer. Let’s begin… 


 • Always use a fragrance free body wash and moisturizer. 

 • Perfume lasts longer when applied to a moisturized area. 

 • You should apply your perfume right after the shower when you are damp, and right before you put clothes on. 

 • Your pulse areas are where you should put your perfume; for example on the inner wrists and back of ears. 

 • Don’t rub your wrists together; this can make you skins natural oils and your perfume to mix, thus making an altered scent from the friction of the movement. 

• Your pulse will diffuse your perfume making it last longer. I hope you liked this post!! Now you are the expert at applying perfume!! Come back for more fun!! Thanks!

Back To School Outfit Ideas!!


Hey Lovelies!! I have a fashion post today!! So since it is back to school season now, I decided to pick 5 outfits for the first week of school!! No matter if you’re going into middle school, high school, or college, you can get inspiration from at least one of these outfits!! Just remember try to keep in mind your dress code, if you have one; you can critique these outfits to better suit you!! So let’s begin!!

1. Casual and Comfy!! I chose to pair this black crop top from H&M with high waist lace shorts from Forever 21. To bring the shirt and shorts together I decided to add this belt which matches with these strappy sandals from Target!!

2. Sophisticated and Chic!! I paired this floral crop top from Forever 21 with high waist shorts also from Forever 21. The bronzy gold strappy sandals, in my opinion, really go well with the colors in the shirt. P.S. how cool is the back of this shirt!!

3. Laid Back and Cute!! The turquoise linen shirt is from Forever 21 which pairs nicely with the geometric printed leggings also from Forever 21. The sandals are from Target; I really like how they look, I don’t know why but they look tribally to me, oddly enough!!

4. Rock and Sassy!! I love the overalls trend, so I decided to wear a denim pair from Blank NYC. I put an embellished crop top under from Forever 21. You could always put a shirt under to cover up more or just through on a light weight cardigan!!


5. Girlie and Pretty!! I love this maxi dress is a little short so that I can see my Steve Madden Wedges. I like how the white stripes in the dress go with the shoes!!!

I hope you liked these outfits and remember to rock your style to the fullest!! Thanks and have a great day!!
