A regular trend I have been noticing throughout the fashion industry is lots and lots of patches on clothing, specifically florals. I have been attracted to the simple look of having just a basic tee with some really detailed embroidering.
I feel like my style is changing, and it constantly does. The more I have noticed in my wardrobe are basic tops with floral patches and stitching, more vibrant pieces, and very relaxed fit clothing. I have always enjoyed clothes that are just a little bit bigger on me: the boyfriend fit to be exact.
I have the freedom to move around and tuck my tops in without uncomfortably tight sleeves and necklines. I recently bought this rose applique tee from H&M. H&M and many other higher street retailers are getting on top of the current trends.
I have also been shamelessly obsessed with my John Lennon sunnies. For my face, in particular, these shades flatter round faces so much, if you can believe it. They're simple and edgy—I'm all about it.
I just paired these two with classic ripped black jeans and my brown leather Chelsea boots. My fall look this year isn't as berry lip or scarf filled as I had hoped because the weather is still 70 degrees. I think winter will let me get more into my fall wardrobe. It's been a struggle transitioning with my closet this year because the weather has been so unpredictable. Does anyone feel the same way?

It's honestly been so long since the last time I bought new makeup that wasn't something I had already owned before. I've just been so content with the makeup I have and use constantly that I feel like I have no need (or money cause your college girl is broke) to go out and just buy new stuff yet. I have been tempted by the new Fenty range and the new palettes that are coming out, but I love what I already have.
With that said, I have made some guilty Mac purchases when I was in Nordstrom Rack because they were at a considerably low price for what they are normally retailed for. I think these two products are the most recent purchases I have made and I am totally okay with it!
This first product I chose was a stretch from my normal makeup that I use. And to be honest, it was kind of an accident because I don't usually like cream based anything that's supposed to be a powder. However, the Mac Casual Lips and Cheek Color in Keep It Loose is probably my new favorite blush. It's a subtle peachy pink and is perfect for this time of year when the air begins to get crisp. The creaminess doesn't bother me that much because it blends really nicely and doesn't cake on like many cream-based blushes and cheek colors sometimes do.
My next purchase was a new eyeliner pen because I have loved the sleekness of them and their longevity. With pencil liners, I feel like I always touch my eye makeup and fixing it, but this one stays in place and is so easy to use. The Mac Penultimate Liner is a thin and very opaque pen that is easy for all eyeliner beginners.
Blush has been something that I haven't really gone deep into because I have loved the way bronzers golden up my face more than blush brings out the redness, but this one doesn't and just adds a soft pigment to my cheeks. I have had a lot of luck lately with Mac and would recommend looking at your local Norstrom Rack for some really good deals on their products now.
It's been a while since I have talked about anything hair, and that's mainly because my hair routine hasn't really changed. It's pretty darn simple, actually. I usually wear my hair natural and I've only been styling it with a one-inch curling wand every so often. My product usage in my hair is also very minimal and not-so-complicated either. For a while, I've been using texturizing sprays to add a bit of "umpf" to my hair. I've been loving the messy lob look for a while now, but I have struggled to find the right product that doesn't leave my do sticky and bodyless.
Since I only really use one product in my hair, I felt like I could splurge a little on one that would actually work. I have heard all about Ouai products through the media: beauty gurus, YouTubers, magazines, and the Kardashians all swear by it, but that wasn't the only reason I wanted to get this specific brand.
This texturizing hairspray acts as a dry shampoo and a hairspray. You get an oil absorbing product that also holds style, which I really like. Plus, the smell of it is great and tropical, too. For a while, I have been obsessed with the Not Your Mother's Texturizing Spray, but wanted something that could also be used to keep the look in place.
I know that my hair probably won't change drastically in the next couple of months, but I am still looking for new ways to style it because I'm bored, to be honest. I love the lob look, but sometimes I just need a quick and easy way to make my hair look good without having to worry about curling it every day. Let me know for all of you "lobbers" out there what the best and easiest way to style your hair is!
