Inspiration: Undone Hair

My take on the messy, low bun.

If there's one thing I have zero patience for, it's doing my hair.  Particularly when it comes to the act of drying it.  Don't get me wrong, I love a professional blow dry (for those of you in LA, Stacy at Méche is uh-mazing), I just HATE doing it myself.  I can think of 100 other things I'd rather be doing in those 10-15 minutes.  Lately, I've been wearing my hair in some sort of loose up do or pony tail.  I'm totally inspired by these images I found on Pinterest and can't wait to experiment with some new styles.  What hair trends are you loving these days?

Buckled Boots

Fiorentini + Baker boots, H&M sweater, Splendid leggings, Old Navy tank, Linea Pelle bag c/o

 

 

Next to sweats, this might just be the most comfortable outfit ever.  I've been drooling over these boots for months and finally bit the bullet on them.  They're edgy, insanely comfortable and just the perfect height to wear with skinny jeans or leggings.  Speaking of leggings, can we talk about how incredibly soft these are?  Seriously, they're like butter.

Spend or Save: The Drapey Jacket

Left: Helmut Lang  Right: Forever 21

Although my style has evolved and changed over the years, one thing that has remained constant, is my love for the basics.  I'm all about classic pieces that are versatile, comfortable and chic.  Especially since the majority of my days are spent chasing after my 1 year old daughter.  I've been craving a drapey cardigan/jacket that I can easily throw over a tank or a tee.  In my search, I came across this one by Helmut Lang and instantly fell in love.  The cut, the length, the zipper detail...it's just about perfect.  Except for its $380 price tag.  While I do invest in shoes and certain pieces of clothing, I simply can't justify paying close to $400 for a lightweight jacket that's not even leather.  Enter this version by Forever 21.  Pretty darn close and it's only $30 bucks!
