Outfit of the Day #4 | Spring 2014
Hi guys!
Today after class I went with a couple friends to Café Joie, a small cafe near where I live. I got a box of macarons and the packaging was just so cute I didn't even want to open it. I decided to do a quick outfit of the day too, I wore a sleeveless top with a high neck and subtle animal print. I'm usually not drawn to animal print but I thought this shirt was subtle enough for me to be comfortable in. I really like the high neck trend as well, I think its very cute and chic :). Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week!

Frozen Yogurt and Sun Soaking
Hi guys!
Today I hung out with a friend from high school who I don't get to see very often. It was nice catching up with him and we got some frozen yogurt from Pinkberry! He was also so very kind and helped take some shots for a quick ootd :) I have been loving paring bright sneakers with a simple outfit, I think it gives a more laid back look and is definitely easier on the feet than a pair of flip flops or flats.

My Spring Hairstyles | How to
Hi guys!
I thought I would show you guys three of my current "go to" hairstyles. I have been wearing these hairstyles very often because they are super simple and fast, and takes me about two minutes to do. I think they're perfect for spring because they help keep some hair out of your face.
1. Side fishtail
How to: Gather some hair (about two inches wide) to desired side of your head and start a traditional fishtail braid. Once you have finished the braid, tie it with an elastic then pull and tug onto the braid lightly to make it seem softer and fuller. Finish with hairspray to hold in place of you like.
2. Side "French" braid
How to: similar to the first hairstyle, just gather about two inches of hair and start a traditional French braid. Continue this French braid until you reach your ear and then finish with regular braiding. Once you have finished the braid, tie with an elastic and pull the braid to create a fuller and softer look. Hairspray into place if you like.
3. Side half up - half down pony
How to: Gather hair as if you were doing a regular half up half down pony. Maneuver the hair onto one side of your head and tie with an elastic. Super simple! And very "Ariana Grande" inspired.
And those are my current favourite hairstyles! They are super fast and easy which is why I always find myself doing them. Just a quick note, my hair is semi curled in these photos because it gives me more texture and it helps my braids hold together better. But I have done these hairstyles with straight hair and they work fine as well.

Light Spring Makeup
Hi guys!
The weather is getting warmer and when the weather gets warmer, I like to wear lighter makeup. More "natural" and "bareskinned" if you will. My skin is combination-oily so once it's getting warmer, I tend to get very oily and my makeup (especially foundation) will break apart and completely slide off my face. I usually get oily on my forehead, around my nose and on my chin. So this is what I''ve been wearing everyday to help keep my oilyness at bay.
1. After my skin care routine I will first put on a sunscreen. The one I have been using for years on my face is the Shiseido Ultra Sun Protection Lotion. This is a very light sunscreen and I find that it kind of acts as a primer as well because it absorbs quickly and leaves a semi matte finish on your skin, to prep for foundation.
2. After applying my Sunscreen, if it's especially hot then I will also apply a primer for extra oil control. I'm not too fussy about primers, at the moment I am using the Benefit Porefessional primer because I received a small sample size as a gift. If I choose to go straight for a foundation, right now I am using the Lioele Beyond the Solution BB cream. BB creams are what I tend to go for in the warmer months because it is a lot lighter than a foundation but it still evens out your skin and conceal minor imperfections.
3. For blush, at the moment I am using Lancome ROUGE which is a beautiful red-pink color with a bit of shimmer.
4. Finally for my lips, I also like something light weight for spring/summer. Something almost stain like is what I usually go for. So lately, I've been really liking the Victoria's Secret Shine Drama Lip gloss in Punch Drunk. I actually got this as a gift on my birthday and I really love it. It's very light, moisturizing (I don't have to wear lip balm under it) buildable and does not feel sticky which I appreciate. I don't do anything for my eyes because I like to keep it as natural as possible.
