An Easy Look For The 4th!

Hey guys! The Summer has flew by & the 4th of July is quickly approaching! I wanted to help you guys out with an easy laid-back look. This will include hair, nails, and an outfit.

I am the first to admit, I don't spend any time on my hair during the Summer. I usually just go for my same ponytail look. Today's look is beyond easy, but a fun way to spice up your everyday ponytail.
(1) Spray Beach Spray throughout your hair. Although this is optional, this will give your hair some nice texture for this messy look! I love this one. It's super inexpensive, and works really well for my hair.
(2) Gather three sections of hair on the top of your head and loosely braid.
(3) Stop the braid about 1/2 way, & secure all of your hair with a ponytail.
You're done! Easy as 1-2-3 for lazy girls like me. 


I love white nails all-year-round, but I really love them for the 4th! Here is a super easy and cute nail look for the 4th! 
(1) Paint your nails white. Make sure to do 2 coats for an opaque look.
(2) Once dry, grab some red & blue polish for an accent nail. Do one stripe blue, and one stripe red below it. You can use a striping or dotting tool, but a toothpick will work just fine. (used here)
(3) When everything is dry, apply a matte top coat for a super polished look. I love having a top coat like this, because you don't need to buy all matte nail polishes. This one is my fave. 
I featured this cropped sweater in my last post, and I realized this would be perfect for the 4th! It is such an effortless look paired with some jean shorts. I also wore my Sperry's, because they're the perfect shoe for boat rides & the beach. (Not Pictured)
Jean shorts- Aero
Top- NA
Sunnies- Madewell




Thanks for reading! 
I hope you have a wonderful 4th. Spend time with family & friends, and just enjoy! 
As always, leave any questions in the comments. 
XOXO, GG

what his words could not see

the problem with insecurities is they like to hide. they sit below the surface, waiting for something or someone to set them off. you yourself may not even know they're there. i knew mine was there, i just didn't want to admit it. i fed myself all the right literature, watched all the right videos, listened to all the right people who were telling me that what i was going through was normal, good, beautiful even. i consumed it until i told myself i believed it. but the problem was, i never did.  deep down, i didn't accept what was happening. i told myself it was temporary, i would lose it soon. at my very core, i believed that something was wrong with me. i rarely let others on to the fact that when i looked in the mirror i was deeply sad. growing up your whole life being skinny, no one ever tells you what to do when your body changes. when your external value is no longer based in your smallness. i couldn't reconcile what was happening to me. i could not understand or ...

Versatility In Your Wardrobe- Dresses

Image
Hey fellow fashionistas! A really important thing in anyone's wardrobe is versatility. I mean, you can't wear one item and never wear it again! Mixing and matching outfits is something fashionistas pride themselves on all around the world. I try my hardest to create a completely new look with all my clothes. The cool thing is, nobody will know if you wear the same shirt twice in the school week! You will accessorize and pair it totally different! I'm going to show you how to create the illusion that you own a lot of clothes, when the reality is.. you're just a master of outfit creating. Ok, there's a twist! A lot of people think of separates for mixing & matching, and they usually think of dresses as a one-time dressy outfit. Dresses can be made super casual! The looks created today will all include a dress! Don't be afraid to rock one to school or just running errands, these are super comfy and laid back! (1) Add a button down under one of your favori...
