SHE’S SO DOMESTICATED

Last night I had my closest girlfriends over for some dinner and wine. I cooked a delish yet super simple three-cheese tortellini pasta with lemon & white-wine shrimp and a caprese salad (which was almost too pretty to eat!). It’s days like this that make me realize how important it is to spend quality time with your closest friends. I love my girls and so blessed to be able to call them my best friends!  I didn’t get many photos because we were all so preoccupied with catching up while devouring our food and wine & also trying to learn the choreography to Beyonce’s “Dance For You” music video. Definitely a night filled with unending laughter!

My grecian-girl shoes also made an appearance in Spin Gallery’s look book!

This has to be one of my favorite looks from the new collection. The blue is out of control gorgeous and I loved being able to show the many possibilities out of one piece of clothing!

TAKE ME AWAY: HAIR INSPIRATION

HAIR

 

braids, braids, braids and more braids.

one of the easiest ways to make your hair look fabulous when you don’t have enough time to style like you normally do. (this is ALWAYS the case on vacation) I’m currently obsessing over the milk-maid braids, but I think I might have too much hair to keep it all together. I guess it’s time for me to hit youtube and learn some helpful tips and tricks!

Because of my new ginger hair, it’s going to take a lot of maintenance when heading out in the sun and salt water. I’ve got to make sure to take my favorite products along with some new ones to make sure I maintain a healthy balance.

I just purchased this Phytoplage Protective Beach Spray which is actually an SPF for your hair. My hairdresser recommended that I use this before I go out in the sun and after I’ve wet it. Can’t wait to try it out! I’ll also be taking my all time summer favorite: MoroccanOil. This stuff has been the best thing for my hair. Ever. After I’ve washed my hair, I put a dime-size drop and run it through my hair before styling. It keeps everything sleek and together 😉

With the many changes to my hair this past year, it’s been a roller coaster trying to find the perfect shampoo and conditioner… and I found it!! It has helped restore my hair as well as keeping it not too dry and not too oily. It’s also less than $20 for the whole set! [Shampoo, Conditioner, Leave-In Balm.]

So I want to know, what are your favorite hair products for the summer?
