*Review Time! Etsy Shop: Mixandmatchme*

Hey Everybody! Its review time! Today I’m reviewing this stunning desert calico dress from the Etsy shop Mixandmatchme. As you can see, this dress is a light peach color, and it has crochet detailing at the waist. The neckline is sort of a scoop neck, and is very Grecian goddess. The fabric of this dress is absolutely amazing! It feels so soft, and flowy. It comes up just above the knee, and is very modest, feminine, but still fresh and young. The downside to this dress is that the straps are a little bit tight, because they aren’t the same quality of the dress, but the more you wear it, the more the straps stretch, so its honestly not a big problem at all. As you can tell, I highly recommend this dress. But there is more this shop sells than just this dress! Mixandmatchme has a ton of other amazing styles of clothes including maxi skirts, circle skirts, different styles of dresses, and more! This shop is absolutely amazing! The shipping arrived very fast, and the seller was super nice and easy to work with. I recommend this Etsy shop very much, and especially this stunning desert calico dress.

For those cooler days, it can be paired with a  white or tan cardigan or a leather jacket, if you like the style of edgy meets feminine! Any color or style jacket that compliments the color of the dressis perfect to wear with it! On summer days, it can be worn as it is, with a pair of gladiator sandals. With a fishtail braid, or your hair in long, flowy waves, this look creates a cute, unique, Grecian style. This dress is so easy to be dressed up or down and I love that! I t can be worn

 pretty much anywhere! This is perfect for a nice dinner, or night on the town styled with a bright pair of pumps!

Hair: What's in This Summer

Your  hair is a great way to express yourself - we will do anything for our hair to be perfect! There are some new trends that are in this summer. This post will help you have the hottest hair around!Braids
Braids a huge at the moment! There are many kinds of unique styles of braids, from the classic, to the french, to the fishtail! It is a great way to keep your hair out of the way while still expressing your personality! They are super cute and easy to do if you learn how! Although sometimes a little time consuming, people will definitely take notice of your great hair!

Beach Waves

Wavy hair is something we all can get from swimming in salty water. But it can dry out our hair? How do we achieve these super cute waves without damaging our hair? The answer is... salt spray! Salt spray can be bought at a beauty store or made at home. Just spray it in damp hair, give it a scrunch and when it dries you have flirty, beachy, waves!

Ombre

Ombre is when hair is died slowly getting lighter towards the tip. Thus look screams summer fun! It can be done with an Ombre kit or at a salon. It is a great way to keep a natural look with a little flare. It works great with long hair so the gradual color change stands out.

Have fun with your hair this summer!

July 4th Outfit Inspiration

Today is officially July 1st! Now, when I think of July, I automatically think fireworks, but a question that I have been getting a lot lately goes somewhat along the lines of : "HELP!! I don't know what to wear for the fourth of July! I don't have anything with stars and stripes on them?" Well my friends, I am here to give you some inspiration. First of all, you don't need to go all out. Just a simple outfit can look classy and elegant. For Example, lets say you have a classic staple in pretty much everyone's wardrobe, a black and white striped shirt.

You may be thinking, ok.. well this isn't red white and blue? Why should I wear this on the fourth of July? I'll get to that in a few seconds, but first lets add some bottoms for this casual look.

These Red J crew Chino shorts are the perfect POP. Now the shoes are really what scream Oh, you did dress up for the Fourth Of July!

And that is  a statement pare of blue wedges.

Wedges are SO in this summer, and are totally appropriate for this outfit because they are a wedge, not a heel. I hope this casual outfit gave you an idea of what to wear on the Fourth Of July!

I challenge you to go into your closet, find stuff that normally would NOT be categorized as "Fourth Of July Apparel" and MAKE it fourth of July ready! I hope you all have an amazing Fourth Of July!

xoxo,

Amanda

But what people often just look over is the fashion in summer. SCHOOLS OUT! No more sticking to a strict dress code, it's time to be free! You can truly express yourself in the summer. I challenge everyone reading this to go into your wardrobe and pick out stuff that you normally would categorize as "ugly" or something you would never think of wearing out somewhere besides the house and make it your own. Experiment! Nobody is going to judge you..its summer! It's time to live it up and be free! You never know, you can turn that drab t-shirt into a cute crop top, the choices are endless it's just up to you and your imagination. Good luck and have an amazing, fashionable summer!

What must Have Items Do You Need For A Perfect Summer?

Summer is an amazing season. Warm air, freedom from school and hanging out with friends! There are things every girl needs to have the perfect summer! The first step to the perfect summer makeup look is mascara. my two favorites this summer have been the Maybelline falsies waterproof mascara, and the Covergirl Lashblast volume. chances are, since its summer, you will either be outside or swimming. waterproof is perfect because it wont melt off your face in the heat, and it wont smear off in the water!

The next essential to the perfect summer is deodorant. Since it is very hot in the summer, people tend to perspire and get very sweaty. Along with swear comes the smell, and no one wants to smell like BO, so the classic trick is deodorant to conceal or prevent the smell of BO. People should use this everyday, but especially in the summer because of how hot it gets.

The next summer-must have is of course..sunscreen! Even when it's cloudy out, I will still apply sunscreen because even if there is no "sun" out, there are still rays which can be very harmful to your skin if you don't apply sunscreen!

The next great summer beauty product is cream blush. Cream blush is amazing for summer, because its more long lasting than powder blush, therefore if you are going swimming, or just have a long summer day ahead of you, cream blush is perfect! My cream blush at the moment is Maybelline's dream bouncy blush.

 

The last item I'm going to include is lotion! Lotion is great for the summer, because it adds moister to your skin, so that it won't dry out and become flaky!

 Please let me know what YOUR must have summer products are! I might pick them up to try.

Xoxo,

Amanda
