Friday Five: Last Minute Ways to Look Patriotic











Happy 4th Everyone! No matter where you go today, almost everyone will be sporting some sort of red, white, or blue. If you haven't had time to think about it, it's easy to get frustrated when trying to incorporate all three colors - the red shirt you thought you had seems to have magically disappeared from your closet and you don't own anything with an American Flag on it. Well here are some last minute ways you may be able to find helpful to complete your red, white, and blue!





Last Minute Ways to be Patriotic




1. Red Lips - If you cannot find anything red to wear, why not try it out on your lips? A quick run to the drugstore is all you need. If you're not used to the whole red lip look, I recommend going for more of tinted lip balm or butter.


2. Nail Polish - This is one of the most common ways to look a little more patriotic. Grab any red, white, and/or blue nail polish, allow yourself a little time to dry and you're good to go!


3. Blue Eyeliner - I know I have a couple of these laying around in my makeup drawer, so if you do too, add a little blue eyeliner to your water line instead of the usual black.


4. Red Bandana - Here's an easy way to incorporate some red into your look. Use a red bandana as a headband. It not only gets you your instant red, but it gets your hair out of your face!


5. Blue Denim - I'm going to safely assume that everyone owns at least some sort of blue denim. It's probably one of the easiest ways to incorporate blue into your outfit. Think about it, I think blue denim has always been the new black.







Have an amazing, fun, and safe 4th of July Weekend!

Tell Me About It, Stud


If you ever see me out, you will most likely find me wearing stud earrings. I have currently been wearing my pair of pearl earrings, but have been loving some of the colors and trends that I've been seeing this season. Some fun trends to keep an eye out for are floral studs, mainly daisies, and the color turquoise (I've included a few below!). When in doubt, you can never go wrong with any solid gold toned stud - like how cute are those arrows? I'm also really loving the Sunny Daisy stud earrings (third row, first one in) and the Tai Stone studs in mint (third row, fourth one in).

Scarfed Up: Spring Scarves


The weather is getting warmer and we are putting away our chunky, bulky cable knit scarves until next season (my boyfriend likes to refer to mine as neck braces). However, this does not mean that we cannot still accessorize with a light-weight scarf. I love wearing scarves in the Spring because it adds so much extra color and can change the whole look of what you're wearing. For instance, if you are wearing a plain white tee, some boyfriend jeans, and a pair of Converse, adding a scarf with a pop of color or print will give your look that little something extra. Below are some scarves that I've picked out that I would totally wear this time of year. I'm especially loving the floral H&M scarf (first row, second one in), and the striped scarf by Steve Madden (second row, first one in). These are all either $50 or under!

Make a Statement

If anyone follows me on Instagram, you already know that I have a teeny obsession with statement necklaces. I just think they are so beautiful and can add so much style, color, or drama to anything you're wearing. Statement necklaces have been trending for quite some time now and I plan to keep this trend ongoing in my personal wardrobe. Here are some statement pieces that I've had my eye on - all under $50!
