Quick & Easy Bun Tutorial

Hi friends, I know a lot of us are either lazy, in a hurry, or our hair just isn't working with us. (All of which I've dealt with numerous times), so I decided to post a quick and easy bun tutorial! Yay! 



Materials Needed:
Hair Tie(s)
Bobby Pins

Instructions:
1) Gather all hair as if putting up into a high pony tail.
2) With your free hand take your hair and tightly twist it around forming the bun.
3) Secure with Hair Tie
4) Pull the bun (optional)
5) Wrap another hair tie (also optional if you feel the bun is loose)
6) Apply bobby pins to keep the bun in place or fix any stray hairs
7) Style by pulling down some fringe or even accessorize!

A [messy] bun is definitely one of my go-to looks if I woke up late and don't have time to do my hair, or if I'm having a 'bad' hair day. I know, we've all been there ladies, right? Perfect for if you're in a rush and on the go and takes not even a minute! I actually can make this bun in about less than 30 seconds (no exaggeration, maybe because I've 'mastered' the look haha)

Boho Babe Series X Hipster Pocahontas

Hey guys, this is the final look (late upload, but better late than never right?) in my #BohoBabeSeries

I'm getting a Pocahontas vibe from this outfit (who is one of my fave Disney Princesses!) This look is perfect for Coachella! A light and breezy dress with a Denim shirt tied around the hips gives a casual, yet flirty look. And if it gets cold, throw on the Denim for an Americana look. 

Look #3: A pop of color

I am diggin' the wind in this photo.
Just call me the hipster Pocahontas - painting with all the colors of the wind haha

Light and breezy dresses are a must for bohemian or coachella fashion, and with this white dress,
you'll be lookin' like an angel in the desert. (;



Denim definitely has to be a closet staple for everyone!
It's perfect for that minimal and casual look.

Bangles are the way to go when going Boho! I love the intricate designs
and how each bangle is different. 

I am in love with this tatoo ring! 
The 'diamond' was a lovely teal color that would go along well with the bracelet and necklace, 
but it looks faded in the photo.

This necklace totally flashes back to when Pocahontas receives her mother's necklace, right?! (;

Boho Babe Series X Peasant Top

Hey everyone! This is the second outfit in my #BohoBabeSeries This look is perfect for Spring and Summer. It's casual, yet flirty. 

Outfit Idea #2: Peasant Top X Jeans
I was also thinking of Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" song when writing about this outfit lol! 'Blue jeans, White shirt, walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn..." haha. Anyways, back to the outfit!



Distressed, or "Ripped Jeans" are a Bohemian closet staple.
These jeans are from American Eagle and are super comfortable!



Peasant Tops are very comfortable and pretty loose, allowing you to feel light and free throughout the day.
 I am in love this off-shoulder top with crotchet detailing.  

Okay now, I may or may not be obsessed with these tattoos.
 These are temporary glitter tattoos, (I think that's what these are called, lol)
 Regardless, these come in various cute designs that can substitute for jewelry and act as an accessory on their own! 
I rarely wear bracelets because they always tend to fall off my tiny wrists,
but I loved the subtle colors on these which also matched my necklace.

Boho Babe Series x Paisley & Lace

Hey everyone, long time no blog!
As you know, Coachella has passed, and I sadly did not attend. ): It's on my Bucketlist to experience the festival. I am absolutely in love love love with the concept of Coachella: music, celebrities, dancing, FOOD, and most importantly the outfits! Therefore, I decided to create a Coachella Inspired LOOKBOOK or a Boho kind of vibe LOOKBOOK.

---

Outfit Idea #1
Mixing Prints: Paisley & Lace

Some of the key concepts to Coachella or Bohemian fashion is to be bold, unique, and mixed prints.


Feathers are a must!
This beautiful necklace went perfect with the outfit and matched my color scheme. 
I am in love with lace, and these shorts are high to low. (Longer in the back)



For this outfit, I decided to wear a beautiful paisley top and pair it with some lace shorts. I matched my jewelry with my color scheme hence the purple and black necklace and black bracelet. I kept this outfit boho chic and casual. Perfect for rocking out to your fave bands, going out to lunch, or even on a casual date.

Cotton Candy Hues

Hey everyone! Today's #FashionFriday #OOTD has got to be perfect for Spring! It's bright, it's flowy, and not to mention it's totes chic!

I realized I haven't been wearing many bright colors lately, and most of the clothes I got over Spring break consisted of black and white, and more black, lol, so then came this outfit.
I am in love with this blouse because it's very casual, yet it has a flirty side (literally) When turned to the side it has a little cut out from high to low. I am also loving the peachy/coral/cotton candy toned colors hence the title Cotton Candy Hues. I just thought that this outfit sort of reminded me of Cotton Candy haha. As for bottoms, I am wearing some White pants with some cool, abstract patterns below the pockets. (Which also goes with the color scheme). I've been loving gold jewelry so I had to cooperate some of that into this outfit. I have on some gold and coral jewels that compliment the outfit. For the shoes, you have to match the belt to the shoe (for the most part) so I went with these super comfortable brown and white wedges.

CSUN X Warner Bros

Hey everyone! Earlier this week I went on a trip to visit CSUN (California State University of Northridge) as well as having the great opportunity of visitng and touring the Warner Bros. Studios!

---

The campus of CSUN was very nice. I even found out that the outside of the library was used in the movie Sky High! Also Zac Efron filmed a movie at the school as well! :o *heart eyes emoji* haha

The highlight of the trip probably had to be the Warner Bros. Tour mainly because I got the chance to be on the set of Rosewood from Pretty Little Liars!! I even got to see Emily Field's house AND went inside!! (Which was also the house of Ross and Monica in FRIENDS). I was totally freaking out and fan-girling. Lol. I also got the chance to be on the set of FRIENDS' Central Perk AND sat on the couch where the stars themselves had bestowed upon lol. (I do apologize that some of the pictures have bad quality because most were taken on my phone, but hey, it's better than nothing!)

I wanted to wear an outfit that was casual, but chic. I thought the joggers would be perfect and comfortable, which are also in style for the lazy, yet fashionable gal. I paired it with a float and light crop top to add more flare to the look.
