New Hair = Lots of New Styles to Try

You may know from our Instagram account that I went and chopped off 7 inches of my hair last month. I love long hair, and I have generally gone between this length and extensions over the past 9 years. Having said that, I've never had this length hair with no bangs so this time when I went for the big chop, I decided to continue to grow my bangs out and have lots of layers added too. Not your everyday lob, folks! ;)

With a new do comes so many new styling options. My hair stylist told me to use a root lifting product (I am loving this one) and a round brush to get a great deep side part look. So, this was my first attempt at that. It's a bit tricky, as I usually air dry and then curl my hair later in the day, but I love how it turned out! I can't wait to see what else I can come up with style wise...



As far as my outfit goes, this is very typical everyday wear. I need to wear outfits that can easily get from day to night and everything in-between (dance class, room mom party prep, playing and cooking, then off to Kaitlyn's for party prep!). I guess you would call this my sweats alternative as I can sit on the floor and play as well as be out in public and feel put together in it.

Top: Target // Jeans: 7 for all Mankind // Boots: Dolce Vita // Bag: Rachel Zoe // Cuff: Lili Claspe // Bracelet: Lokai // Watch: Fitbit // Blue Ring: House of Harlow 1960 // Love Necklace: XO Veronika // Midi Ring: Shop Lately // Gold Rings: Urban Outfitters 

What do you think of my new hair? Any suggestions of styles I should try out next?

How will you style yours?

Rocked it & Swapped it

I love when Lisa completely re-styles an item from me in her swap bag...it gives me a whole new spectrum of ideas on how I can wear it differently next time and sometimes even makes it look like a completely different piece. Here is how Lisa and I wore this floral silk Kirna Zabete blouse from day to night:

She did a great job of making white appropriate for winter - I have never understood the Labor Day rule...because really, isn't fashion all about breaking them?

Rocked it & Swapped it

Sometimes even the smallest things like a ponytail or the color of accessories can completely change the look of a closet staple, which I now consider Peplum to be for this season.

I have a "thing" about wanting my clothes to be fairly fitted, so I wasn't sure if I would like the way flare you get from Peplum (and I still can't get on board with this even though she's brilliant), but this top is one of my new favorites: It's flattering AND perfect for eating a big meal: what could be better?

Kaitlyn: Top: Zara, Pants: H&M(similar), Flats: GoJane (similar), Watch: Nordstrom

Lisa: Top: Zara (similar), Pants: 7 for all Mankind, Shoes: Lulus (similar), Bag: Michael Kors, Jacket: C/O Sheinside, Wrist Wrap: Kristin Hassan, Bracelets: Baublebar/Jewelmint/C/O T plus J Designs, Sunnies: Loft

Can't wait to purchase my own and style it with a leather jacket and scarf for the chilly nights :)

What is your take on Peplum?

Rocked it & Swapped it

Kaitlyn has this amazing green and black tank from Macy's (BCBG). I was overly excited when I went to her house for a swap and it was already in my "FriendSwap Bag," SCORE! Here is Kaitlyn rocking her tank:

I decided to pair it with black pants and a black tank for brunch with the family. I generally do not wear tons of black, but I LOVE this look!

Jeans: 7 for all mankind (same jeans in blue), Jewelry: C/O Kristin Hassan, Heels: C/O Just Fabulous

Because We Went To Ravinia

Last summer we went and saw Steely Dan at Ravinia. If you've never been, it's an outdoor concert arena that hosts artists ranging everywhere from Tony Bennett to Carrie Underwood each summer. People bring  chairs, blankets, and food to listen to the live music while hanging out picnic style. Of course you can get pavilion seating or walk closer to the stage to see the band, but most people just sit, relax and consume a few bottles of vino. It is a really great time! 

Lisa: Top: Mink Pink, Jeans: 7 for all Mankind, Ring: Modcloth, Wedges: Forever 21, Kaitlyn: Dress: Forever 21, Necklace: Jewelmint (both Lisa's from a closet swap)

Candid shots are always the best...

It ended up raining this night, but we made the best of it! I'm sure the wine and food helped ;) 
What's your favorite concert place for summer shows?
