and the wedding style of the summer is...

hands down, this summer I have done dozens of side swept styles. loose curls swept off the back of your neck over to the side, messy buns, you name it, it's all off to the side. it's all very romantic, but still classic, so it's a great style for everyone and it's easy for the bridesmaids to wear. This style can be done with long hair or short hair too, so it's somewhat uniform for the brides that like that, but unique to each girl at the same time. here's some of my favorites so far...

I have gotten the privilege of doing several weddings this summer and I honestly would do weddings every weekend if I could. to be such a big part of that sacred day is just such a gift. I had the most beautiful brides inside and out and made my job super simple and really fun! I'll post some more of the weddings later!

ombre hair? yes please.

one of the greatest things about this trend, is any one can do it. you just need to be ok with outgrowth. every shade of blonde, red, or brunette works with this style. these are some of my favorites...

Erin Wasson

Megan Fox

Lily Aldridge

Rachel Bilson (darker)

Whitney Port

Drew Berrymore

Now this trend can go horribly wrong if you take it too far or if the tone is off. It takes it quickly from trendy and easy going to trashy real quick. These girls usually have amazing hair, so it can happen to the best of us. This is a great reason to get ombre hair done professionally. For example...

 I love this trend, and thankfully, it looks like it's here to stay for a while too :)

right now i want...

i love the rose color, i love them with flats, and i love how Kim K wore em with studded boots. these are one of my favorite styles right now. it's such a great update for my skinny jean obsession.
