2016 Summer Trends

 Thrift stores are great places to shop for the latest trends. You can find unique pieces, possibly from the decade itself, not to mention inexpensive. Personally, I don't follow trends, I just go for what feels right, however this summer has some awesome throw backs that I don't think anyone, even myself, should miss.

Denim

Forever21

Denim is on my radar when shopping for the latest trends this summer. I love how easy it can be dressed up yet look so chic by itself. I can foresee jean on jean being a true gem this fall, get ready for it!

Off the Shoulder

Forever21

Off the should has made its way back into the fashion world and I'm definitely not mad about it. It can make for a cute boho look, along with being super sexy. I also like the fact that you can wear this with pretty much anything and be set for any occasion.

Fringe

 

Forever21 

I think fringe has been on the market now for awhile now but full force at this point. It adds interest to any outfit and can be very versatile. Don't forget that it can be worn for all seasons too! Fringe is for sure going to be a hit all year round.

The Perfect Bun!

 What You'll Need:

hair tie

bobby pins

teasing brush

To start, put your hair into a high pony.

Tease hair!

** The more your hair is teased the bigger the bun you'll have!

Finally, fold hair under to create bun shape, using bobby pins to keep hair in place. 

Hairspray to add firmness. 

There will be "fly-aways" because of teasing. To fix, use teasing brush and hairspray to tame.
