Long Striped Dress with a Charcoal Cardigan

 

Long striped dress with charcoal cardigan

A fun day with the kids in the park! This outfit proves that you can be comfortable, yet stylish, even when you’re out with the kids. The stripe drawstring maxi dress I’m wearing in the pictures was a steal – only $9.99 on sale (normal price is $64.95). Currently, you can get it online for $16! When I saw it at the store, I knew that I couldn’t leave it behind. It quickly has become one of my favorite dresses!

The cardigan is very lightweight so I put it on because it was one of those days where you don’t know if it’s going to be warm or kinda cool. It warmed up later in the day so I took it.  Either way, you have to admit that it does complement the dress very nicely!

I like how the dress has the cut outs on both sides. Sometimes a long dress might make you too hot on a really warm day. Because of the cut outs here, I didn’t feel that way at all. And since it was a casual day, I decided to wear simple black flip flops.

Pale Pink Top and Baby Blue Denim – Loft Look

I really love this outfit I wore on Sunday. It was supposed to be cooler outside (low 70s), so I decided to plan an outfit that would involve pants. This pale denim pair of pants I recently got from Loft was the choice of the day and it had to be paired with something light in color, so this pale pink top was the perfect option.

I had some perfect choices, when it comes to accessories, to match this entire outfit. The pink rectangular necklace is a tone darker than the top and I love how it added that perfect little touch to this simple and clean outfit. You could really go both ways with the choice of the necklace here. You could put on a big, statement necklace, or opt for something not too showy to keep it clean and modest. In my case, I had to go with something small and simple because my statement piece in this outfit was my bracelet.

Speaking of the bracelet, there it is! There is nothing modest about it. Big, showy, fancy and sparkly. It complemented my look in a perfect way as it contained the exact colors I wore – pale pink and baby blue. Unfortunately, it’s sold out.

And I can’t stop wearing this Doutzen Nude nail polish from L’oreal. It’s nude with a light shade of lavender and if you apply just one layer, you can really wear it with any outfit. I have double layers here in this photo.

Zig Zag Print and Lots of Color – Summer Look

Pink, red and black striped summer dress

 

Hi guys! Today’s look I’m featuring is one of my favorite summer dresses. It’s a colorful and crazy print like nothing you have probably seen before. The vibrant pink, red and orange hues make you look like a firecracker. And wait until you see the back of this dress!

 

Pink, red and black striped summer dress

This print might be a little bit heavy on the eyes with all those little lines and zig zags covering the entire dress, but to me it creates this beautiful and unique ethnic print.

And here is the back! I told you it’s worth waiting for!

 

Coach shoulder bag

The bag of the day is my new Coach Swingpack with Pop-Up Pouch. It looks small, but it has many pockets and compartments, one of which is also removable.  It’s perfect!

The accessories I chose match not only some of the colors on the dress, but also my black Coach shoulder bag.

And how about this amazing nail polish color! And, of course, it matches the dress perfectly! It’s Doutzen Nude from L’oreal.

I bought this floral strapless dress a while ago, but I wear it every summer over and over again. It’s one of those timeless pieces that never goes out of style. Plus, it’s perfect for hot summer days as it’s strapless and the color is one of my favorite things about this dress.

I paired this dress with brown flat Coach sandals to make this look casual and comfortable. Mission accomplished!

It’s a contemporary outfit perfect for a younger look! I love how unique it is as we usually nowadays don’t see girls wearing pieces like these. If you’re one of the girls who loves to take risks and experiment with fashion, go for it. I would totally wear it!

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk Natural Tint and Klorane Mango Oil

IMG_6128
 

Some of you might already know from Instagram about my recent Sephora purchase – Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk Natural Tint and Klorane Mango Oil.

 

Klorane Dry Shampoo with oat Milk

When you’re a mom taking care of two little kids, you don’t always have time to care for your hair by washing it every day. That’s why lately I started to use dry shampoos. I saw this Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk Natural Tint reviewed in many of the magazines that I read. One even cited it as the best dry shampoo out there, so I decided to give it a try. I have to tell you, after already trying several other dry shampoos, this one is now my all-time favorite. It really makes a difference. I usually wash my hair one day and then the following day use dry shampoo. After applying this dry shampoo the second day, my hair looked exactly like it did on the first day, meaning clean and washed. The shampoo even made it easier to put my hair together. It added some volume and texture to my hair in an instant. Notice: This particular dry shampoo is made for darker hair only, as it contains some pigments that will result in a beige tint. I can imagine it wouldn’t look too good on someone that has blonde hair. But you can purchase the Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk, which is made for all hair types.
 

Klorane mango Oil

In the summer, it’s always good to protect your hair from UV damage, which from the sun alone dries your hair out a lot. That’s why I found this perfect product – Klorane Mango Oil. You simply spray it on damp or dry hair, and it will protect your hair from UV rays, sun or even salt water. And you will love its long lasting mango scent! I have to tell you that I couldn’t stop smelling my hair after applying this oil. And even though I used it in the morning, I could still smell it in the evening. You won’t need to spray any other fragrances on you! And as a bonus, this mango oil leaves you hair really soft to the touch. You can definitely tell it’s doing what it is supposed to be doing – which is nourishing your hair.

White and Blue Striped Pencil Skirt with a White Tank Top

Striped pencil skirt and white tank top

This is the first time I decided to put on a pencil skirt, and because I wanted it to have its moment, I paired it with a simple white tank top to let the skirt take its cake! On the other hand, when you think about it, it wouldn’t go with anything other than solid white or blue top, unless you’re more of a risk taker and love to mix prints and colors.

This Coach purse is my go to bag every summer! Because I wear lots of whites, tans and, in general, light colors, all my red and black purses always go into hibernation mode and wait until cooler weather comes, when I can wear them with the darker coats I have.

Striped pencil skirt and bracelets

I decided to put on a lighter tone of blue bracelet so it wasn’t too matchy matchy and I always have to wear either some gold or silver bracelets so I added this two-tone one (mix of gold and silver) as well. Gold goes perfectly with my necklace and silver looks good with cool white and blue.

This gold necklace is not too showy, but rather extremely elegant and classy. Regardless of if you want a more sophisticated look, or a more casual one, it goes perfectly.
