Back-To-School Outfits

August is slowly coming to an end. Fall is just around the corner! The end of August would usually be the time when everyone goes back to school. That means Back-To-School Shopping! I always enjoyed when my mom took my sister and I Back-To-School shopping. We would go early in the morning to avoid all the lines, crowds and traffic. Now that I look back, it's been 4 years I've graduated out of college. It definitely has been a long time. School was always a great way make friends and reconnect during the beginning of the school year. For all the fine fashionista's out there, we always want to make a great impression. We want to look our best on the first day of school.

Everyone has their own style they want to create. Below will be some pictures and ideas you can put together for a great look on your first day back!

1. Fall-in in Love Look: Your typical Fall look with destroyed jeans, suede blue booties, Paisley patterned kimono and a mocha colored scared! Dark colors always make me feel festive during the Fall.

2. Loafer Slides: How cute are they? Loafer slides are the new fad this year. Pair these up with some nice skinny jeans and an off-the-shoulder top!

3. Comfy Biker Chick: There is nothing wrong with being comfortable and being fashionable at the same time. Probably the best combo ever! Parachute jumper (Amazon for super cheap!) and top it off with leather vest, body chain and leather booties!

4.  Bring Back the 90's: Adidas are back in style! The 90's are coming back! Let's bring out the denim jackets with the graphic tees to create this awesome look!

3. Bohemian: The fringe on the dress what makes it fun. Top it off with cute leggings and open toe booties.

4. Sassy Cheetah: If you're a diva and always needs to be looked presentable at all times, this is definitely the look for you. Burgundy is definitely a signature color during the Fall. A nice burgundy skirt with some tights and booties. Top it off with a cheetah print fur coat with create this sassy look!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons of all time. Not too hot, not too cold, it's just right. I love getting together clothes during this season because there are so many to choose from. These are some outfits I have created together in the past. Let's start the school year off right with an awesome look!

Selfie's

Happy August! It has been long overdue for a new post. Summer time is slowly coming to an end. Today's blog will focus on the topic of "Selfies". Why are Selfies so popular nowadays in this generation? Selfie's have become the ultimate way of taking pictures. On, Instagram there are about 300 million hashtags on selfies. It is a fun way to capture a moment with a friend or anything that means something to you on a personal level. In this blog, I will be discussing how "Selfie's are beneficial in a beauty and fashion environment.

Selfies have become so popular ever since the iPhone expanded there camera in the front. It has to be the best thing invented. I will never forget using my Canon digital camera to take selfies. I would take about 20 pictures to make sure I get the best photo. Now with all the amazing iPhone camera effects, taking a Selfie takes two seconds to capture a perfect photo.  When a woman is feelin' herself, whether it be through her make-up or an amazing outfit, taking a Selfie is to remind herself on that day, she felt great and she enjoyed every piece that she created in that photo (At least that's what I do haha). Make-up and clothes are a great way to expand business and to expand new trends. We have many woman taking photos of themselves with full make-up applications. This is their way of promoting the make-up business but also promoting what they used on their face. Same goes along with Fashion Clothing. We see a lot of women and men promoting different outfits every day to promote the latest and newest trends. This also creates and idea for women in different sizes. Many women struggle with finding the "right size". Selfies are a great way to relate with the consumers who struggle with finding the correct clothing size, matching of make-up color, or what works for them. There will always be someone out there that will relate with you to provide that access of comfort to satisfy everyone's needs. Trends are always changing, especially in the fashion world. It is our job as people to promote ourselves.

Some may argue and say that "Selfies" are peoples way of being conceited or they ware being self centered. Honestly, Computer Scientists have studied that taking Selfies are actually very healthy. Yes, that's right, apparently frequently taking selfies leads to an increase in body confidence and an overall improvement in the mood. If you feel good about yourself, capture the moment. Pictures are long lasting and memorable. It also brings our your inner beauty. Maybe you love the way your make-up looks? Or you love the outfit you have on today. Self care is not selfish. Self care is important and important to the mind, body and soul. We take Selfies because we want to feel accepted and loved. Having confidence in ourselves and our image allows us to proudly and comfortably open up to the world. I remember I hated the way I looked in a lot of my Selfies. When I feel good about myself, I take a Selfie and use it to my advantage.

So, don't be shy. Go snap away and take a photo of yourself!
Until next time!

Selfie Confession: I took this photo because I loved how I looked here. I love my summer time glow and my hair looks blonde and fabulous!
