Wedding Weekend

Well this is my last post before I head off to St. Louis for a wonderful wedding weekend! I'm so excited to be surrounded by good friends for 2 full days!

I'm thinking for my makeup I'm going to gear toward the natural side as well. My fake lashes were a nightmare for my sister's wedding. Live and learn right? Lesson learned.

Wavy Hair Weekend

Well there's only 2 days until I'm back home for the Fendler/Nebiolo wedding, and it's time to decide on hair options. After the fiasco that was the extensions/fishtail braid at my sister's wedding (although it gave Ali a great laugh) I've decided to forgo the overdone/glam look. I'm planning on going much more au natural!

This means I think I might do hair down or half up with waves. Simple but cute. Let me know your thoughts. Ideas below!

Fashionable Travels.

This weekend will mark the 4th time in 4 months that I'm heading onto a plane in the direction of my home city of St. Louis. Of course, I love being able to go home and see everyone! But the flying alone is exhausting. One thing that I have never been able to quite get down is staying fashionable yet comfortable on flights. I always end up in legging/jeggings and some type of tank top/sweater combo.

I always see celebs/models looking gorgeous when departing the airport. The private jets are probably a good reason as to why they are looking so well rested and fashionable, but let's ignore that part for a second. It has always a dream of mine to wear sweatpants fashionably. Leggings are fine for flights, but this time I am going to try to master the sporty tank top/sweat pant combo. We'll see if I'll be able to pull it off.

Here's some of my outfit inspiration for my flight home for Meghan's wedding!

DIY

Today I got scary deep into the blog a pair and a spare. Like, scary. I haven't veered away from the site all day, and I have a need for more. If anyone knew me back in the day, they know my love for DIY. Give me a full length vintage dress and a pair of scissors, and I was set. My love for all things thrift/vintage have taken a sad turn for the worse. Vintage/thrift in LA is synonymous with overpriced. It is nearly impossible, unless you've lived here for your whole life, to really know the unknown thrift stores. And even those are what I would consider picked over.

My one gleaming beacon of light for when (if?) I have to move back to the Midwest, is the idea of thrift  shopping. I seriously cannot wait to be back there for the mere fact that the vintage finds are SOOOO good. Like, 25 cents for a purse that they charge $45 on Melrose out here, good.

Here are some of my fav. finds from Geneva at a pair and a spare. Her hair is also amazing, I'm thinking about chopping my hair off into a bob this week just because I can.

Fall Obsessions.

Some of you might be like, Whoa who is this?? And some of you might be like, OMG she's back! And some of you are most likely like, Uh who cares? Well to the first two, yes I'm back and ready to blog. To the third person, fuck off I got busy!

Let's be honest, I think I stopped blogging for awhile because I was B-O-R-E-D with summer fashion. There are only so many ways you can wear neon and Zara heels before I want to stab my eyes out with forks. But with the end of August here at last, we can all look forward to the season that is upon us. Glorious fall.

Fall is the greatest time of the year (for people who live in climates that actually have fall, thanks a lot LA). It means the addition of lots of leather (colored leather preferably) and a brand new wardrobe. I decided I would make a complete list of what I am dying to get my hands on for fall.

1. Delicate Jewelry

2. Jade green

3. Leather sleeves

4. Colored leather

5. Red boots
