5 buck bag: Haul

I recently went to a garage sale and found some gems. Now, before I get started, I know, garage sales... EEK! Honestly, just like thrift shopping, garage sales can be hit and miss, grody or a thrifter's paradise... you gotta give a little and take a little, giving it a chance. Seriously, you can find some really great items and for cheap. Okay, now that my rant is over, I found an amazing sale, $5 for an entire bag of name brand clothes. 
Here's what I found:

H&M
Burnt Orange is an essential color for any wardrobe but especially fall. When I saw this I was like, "I don't even care what size this is I need it." Luckily, it was my size and will make my fall essentials wardrobe so much better! I mean look at that color! SCORE!


Old Navy
This dress is super cute; it has a beaded top with a cinched waist making it very flattering. Unfortunately, it's a bit too big on me. To refurbish this dress I'm thinking of  making it into separates. Either way, it's going to be so adorable and super boho! HOLLA!



Very J
 Excuse the wrinkles, this tunic was too good to pass by. First of all, that color! I'm not much of a nude color kind of girl (because I'm super pale) but this top is fabulous! And it has studs! Like HELLO, yes please. With skinny jeans and wedges, this tunic is going to look amazing!



 Old Navy
 So I'm not really into muscle sweaters but this Old Navy top is everything. I wore this recently, pairing it with dark wash jeans, brown dangily earrings and sandals and let's just say it rocked my world. Boho at it's best! Plus, this is going to perfect for summer! 



Forever 21
I know what you're thinking, "A cardigan, really? It's like 100 degrees out!" This may be true but this oatmeal colored sweater just couldn't be left behind. Think of fall time, it will be so cozy and match everything, perfect for my future fall wardrobe!


My Story

 This dress, when I first held it up, I passed on it; It was weird and just didn't hang right. However, after sifting through the rest of the clothes I came back to this dress. On impulse, I bought it and I'm so glad I did. The front is really hard to show (the picture doesn't do it any justice), but this coral number is beautiful and flowy... not to mention the open back. Like, yes please; business in the front, party in the back!



 Gap
Finally, I picked up this white t-shirt.  I know what you're thinking, boring! However this basic essential is different from every other white tee because it has a v neck in the back and front making it more interesting than your everyday plain jane t-shirt.

 I love this look! What you'll need is a red and white striped shirt ($1.00, Thrift Store); pair this with a black circle skirt ($1.00, Thrift Store) and you're almost, basically, Taylor Swift... Holla!  
*** If you don't have green shoes like myself, I think red flats or sandals would be cute with this outfit!
Total: $2.00

The simplicity of this look is everything. To recreate this look you'll need a chambray shirt ($1.00, Thrift Store). Find a pair of black high- waisted shorts ($1.00, Thrift Store) and you're good to go!  

Total: $2.00



I Have My Own Clothing Line?

I've been pretty busy lately and I apologize.  With that being said, some exciting things have happened in my life and I want to share them with you. To start, I have a niece! Baby Charlotte Grace was born last week and may or may not be why I didn't post a new blog... she's beautiful (No excuse girl! I know... Sorry!). Onto other news, I'm sure you've read the title by now, I have my own clothing line! I've always wanted to design and make clothes but never really found my niche. However, with the help of Customized Girl I've been able to create and even sell my own designs. I have everything from sweatshirts and t-shirts to bags and towels, all ranging in prices. Please go to my website, check it out and share with family and friends! I'm really excited for this opportunity and I hope you are too! If you have anything in specific you want made, send me an email or send me a pic!

No Heat, Overnight Curls!



Start with damp hair, 80% dry.
Divide hair into sections. (To determine how many sections you will need depends on your hair thickness; I have thick hair and used four sections.)


* It's important to remember that the smaller the sections, or buns you have, the curlier your hair will be.


Once you have your hair parted use a headband/sock to hold hair in place. Knot it. (Make sure you place your pony high on head; this will make it easier to sleep).


When pony is secure start wrapping hair away from you face and around the headband/sock.  Continue until all hair in section is wrapped around material. 


Finally, start wrapping hair around itself to create a bun. Secure bun in place. 
Continue this process until all hair is placed in buns.


Go to bed. 

Right after buns are taken out!
When taking the buns out be gentle! It'll probably look at little crazy at first (see above picture) but use moose and fingers to comb through to calm the crazy!

Moosed to my perfection.
And you're done! Soft, natural looking curls that last for days (3 to be exact!)!
