bedhead

the past few weeks have been super busy! this also means i've been snoozing my alarm longer than i'm supposed to... this also means i've been going to work with some bedhead happening. don't get me wrong, i always put makeup and a decent outfit on before work- it's just the hair that is the most time-consuming which means it's the thing that gets the least amount of attention! here are some fun bedhead looks:

i'll be taking a trip to the beach soon, so i've been looking for some swimsuit inspiration online. i'm loving the retro bathing suits (although i'm sure they give you some interesting tan lines!). here's today's Now & Then: Swimsuits.

color scheme: mint and tangerine

my mom is pretty hip. she knows the hottest trends and keeps up with what's going on in fashion. when she was in town the other week, she pulled out of her suitcase some amazing tangerine cigarette pants! she asked for a purse to match and we realized my mint green bag really pulled her look together. ever since then, mint and tangerine has been on my mind. here is more inspiration!

Fashion Star

have any of you been watching the show Fashion Star? ok, it's kind of my new favorite... it's a lot like project runway EXCEPT! buyers from H&M, Macy's, and Sak's bid on the looks and you can buy them in stores and online the very next DAY! i love that the competition actually gives designers the chance of a lifetime- to carry their looks in a commercial retail store. here are some of my favorite looks so far in the competition:

kara's high end jacket

kara's low end jacket

nikki's maxi dress

orly's sheath dress

Nzimiro's shorts
