wedding weekend.

Happy Friday.  We are off to another wedding this weekend...yay!  I've been to so many weddings, you'd think by now I'd have a well thought out plan of what to wear, but last night I got a bit panicked and tried on pretty much my entire closet.  I finally found something, and then couldn't figure out how I would do my hair.  I'm thinking of wearing it up (gasp!).  Nothing too crazy.  A fishtail braid or a messy ponytail both seem like a good fit for me.

beachy hair please.

I've been all sorts of obsessed with wavy "look at me, I just got out of the ocean" hair lately.  I wish I could say that my mane was easily manipulated into this gorgeous messy look, but the truth is, it takes some serious work.  But I'm willing to do it.  I love this intentionally undone look.

hair + clothes.

My go to look is usually hair down and a white maxi dress, but I have been trying to change it up a bit this summer.  Instead trying out new hair styles...hello top knot {1} and my new favorite, the low bun {2}.  I've also been sporting some all black ensembles {3} which is way out of my normal comfort zone, but I may now be a total convert.  And I recently purchased this hat from The Oxford Trunk that I've been wearing non-stop {similar to 4}.  Don't you think that it feels really good to change up your every day wardrobe routine?

lashes + curls.

Sometimes I get in a little beauty rut.  Meaning, I wear my hair much the same every single day and my makeup rarely changes.  But I think I'm ready to shake things up.  I'm dreaming of bolder eyes.  Some longer lashes and a slight cat eye.  And I'm seriously loving this girl's full.big.curly.messy hair.  I'm usually not one for big hair, but this style is blowing my mind.  Ummmm hello pretty!

fringe.

Off and on throughout my life, I've had bangs.  First as a child and then two different times as an adult.  Every so often I get tempted to take the plunge into fringe life again.  I love them so, but I inevitably start wanting to grow them out after only a month.  ha!  I have a hair appointment coming up in the next few weeks, so I better make my decision quickly.  To fringe or not?
