First Week Of June Outfit of the Day Ideas

Right now, the weather is in the awkward stage where it is sunny and looks like you could wear shorts and a tank top, but then you go outside and you are freezing.  The last thing you want to be is trying to have fun with your friends when all you can think about is how the weird goose bumps on your legs .  Here are some spring looks that will make you look as fierce as the model in this red dress.  
Incase you have a super fancy night planned this week; saksfifthavenue.com

Sunday May 30th - Brunch with the Parents

This outfit is perfect for a Saturday out when it is still a little chilly.  It has neutral colors, and you can put a cardigan in your bag in case you get cold.  A cardigan is great because it adds warmth from the cold winds but doesn't completely cover up your outfit.

Monday June 1 - Drinks With the Girls

Black halter crop tops are more popular now than Justin Bieber was when I was in eighth grade.  Black crop tops are great because you can put any print over them.  This jacket is great because it is eye catching but still shows off the days you spent sweating at the gym to get those killer abs.


Tuesday June 2- Grace and Frankie Marathon

Tuesday has become the new Monday in my opinion.  On Monday, you're all rested from the weekend, then Tuesday hits, and you just want a comfy sweater, wine, and some TV.  An  oversized sweater paired with some shorts make the perfect outfit because you can still show off your long legs and ankle boots while keeping warm.

Shorts: Etsy
Ancle boots:Aldo

Wednesday June 3 - Drinks with your Co-workers

This outfit is great for a casual night out with your fellow employees.  The reason being is it's cute, so you can still flirt with the cute bartender, but it is also appropriate that you could wear it to work that day under a blazer.  
Dress: Nordstrom
Shoes: Nordstom

Thursday June 4 - Art Gallery Opening


My pair of boyfriend jeans in finally coming in the mail today, and I could not be more pumped. This outfit is perfect for those artsy nights because there are so many focal points on this outfit.  Also, boyfriend jeans shape your legs perfectly for these shoes.  
Boyfriend Jeans: Anthropologie
Shoes; Anthropologie

Friday June 5 - Pink Floyd Cover Band

This outfit is great for a night out.  The biggest mistake people make is making the leather jacket the focal point of their outfit.  These pants make this outfit, and the vertical lines are figure-flattering.  Horizontal stripes can make your legs look larger than they are.  
Pants: Bloomingdales
Sandels:Bloomindales

Saturday June 6 - Farmers Market

Wearing a cute sundress to a sunny day farmers market has started to become a thing.  No longer is it cute to wear a vintage tee and shorts.  This is perfect for those days when it is not so warm because the long sleeve on this dress will keep you from getting chilly.

Hillary Clinton's Pillow and Other Hilarious Campaign Swag

Technically, I’m still a Political Science minor at school, and with the upcoming election, I wanted to write about fashion.  But writing about Hillary’s blue pant suits was not something I thought would be very interesting, and not funny.  I did, however, find some pretty interesting presidential 2016 campaign swag.

Stitch By Stitch Throw Pillow

If in five years I walk into someone’s house and see this pillow, I will not know how to react.  I do think this pillow is hilarious, but her H with and arrow campaign emblem just ruins it.  


The Everyday Pantsuit Tee

I guess writing about pantsuits was something that Hillary really did not want me to be able to avoid.  But my real question was: how can you have a pantsuit tee without a bottom?

Ted Cruz Iphone Case

I actually have to give some props for the people in charge of HiIlary’s campaign - who would want a boring $40 Ted Cruz iPhone case?

Rand On A Stick


I don’t know if this should be used at an auction or to hide your face, but you get a set of 12.  

Corn Hole Game

Just another frat boy republican, but at least he supports drinking games

NSA Spy Cam Blocker


For only $15 dollars, you can get a tiny sticker to block your camera on your laptop.

Egg White DIY Face Masks

Even though I love my Freeman lemon mask that I can get for $3 at the drugstore, I still love doing my weird DIY face masks.  Even though you might find using eggs in a face mask strange, they have been the most successful for me with my skin problems.  Here are three that I have tried that have worked really well.  


What Makes Egg Whites Good For Your Skin?

Potassium - Moisturizes and hydrates the skin and preserves moisture.


Protein - repair and growth


Hydrating Egg White Face Mask


What you need:
1 egg
¼ of an avocado
1 tsp. yogurt


Avocados have natural oils that moisturize your skin and yogurt eliminates acne-causing bacteria.  


Directions:
  1. With a fork, mash up the avocado until it turns into a paste
  2. Add the yogurt and egg white and mix
  3. Apply to your face and leave on for 15 minutes
  4. Wash off the mask in lukewarm water


Acne - Clearing Egg White Face Mask


What you need:
1 Egg White
1 tsp. of lemon juice
½ tsp. of honey


Honey is important because it will give your face that summer glow, and lemon juice will fight off acne.  


  1. Whisk together the egg white and the lemon juice then add the ½ tsp. of honey.
  2. Wash your face in warm water, this opens up the pores.  Apply the paste to your face.
  3. Keep the mask on for 10-15 minutes.
  4. When the mixture is try take it off using warm water and pat dry with a towel.

13 Bachelors to Lust After Under 25

Last year, I was watching an interview on Live with Kelly and Michael, and I instantly got a little crush on Theo James - then a few minutes later I find out he’s 30 years old.  Even though I’m in denial about that, celebrity crushes are not completely unrealistic.  (You never know who you might get stuck ATM vestibule with).  Here are some age appropriate Bachelors to have your new celebrity crush on.  

Jimmy Garoppolo, 23

Even though you have no idea how to pronounce his last name doesn’t mean that you can’t have a little sunday afternoon crush on him.  Sadley it is not football season and you can’t catch this up and coming quarterback on the Patriots every week but according to the 10 second google search, he’s single.

Nat Wolff, 20

So I’ve had a little crush on Nat Wolff sense back in his naked brothers band stint.  His next movie is Paper Towns with Cara Delevingne.  Eventhough he is still technically a bachelor he has been dating Margaret Qualley since 2012.

Ansel Elgort, 21

Even though I was more of a fan of the book then the movie The Fault in Our Stars I had to put Ansel in this post, because he seems like a very hilarious person.  And this baby faced, actor is single.  

Louis Tomlinson, 23

My one and only One Direction crush, and he plays sports!  He’s jock and a sensitive musician best of both worlds.  Louis is currently single, so you’re competing against about a billion One D fans.

Harry Styles, 21

So Taylor Swift wrote a whole album about their brief two month romance.  I never really got the Harry Styles obsession but sadly he’s dating victoria secrets model Nadine Leopold.

Ed Sheehan, 24


When I found out that Ed was under my 25 year age limit I was more then happy to add him to list of bachelors.  I just think he’s amazing and he kinda looks like Ron weasley, he’s british, and can sing. Do I need to say anymore? Oh yeah he’s single.

Austin Mahone, 19

I didn’t really know who he was but Austin Mahone is the one who sings the popular song Mmm Yeah, he is currently dating Becky G.

Nick Jonas, 22

I think we all know who Nick Jonas is but recently he’s turned his high school boy band persona into an actual music career that you don’t have to be embarrassed you still listen to.  Nick is currently dating Olivia Culpo.

Hunter Hayes, 23

Last week Hunter Hayes Country album just launched called 21 and I have been listening to it almost all the time when I’m writing.  Hunter is dating Libby Barnes, which I heard fans freaked out about, but dudes got to have a life to write that great music.  

Nicholas Hoult, 25

Not anymore is Nicholas just known as Jennifer Lawrence's Ex boyfriend.  He is now starring in the new avengers movie.  He is rumored to be dating Glee star Dianna Agron.

Matthew Lewis

This Hogwarts alumni has been making some news for his almost nude photos in a popular  English Magazine.  Lets just say that Neville Longbottom would be the talk of the 10 year reunion.  And he’s single.

Yes my last two bachelors do not fit into the 25 year limit but even though they are a little older they are not completely out of reach.  

Rob Gronkowski, 26

This wonderful man brought the patriots to the superbowl and they won so how could I not add him into this post? Rob was caught acting very single at a Carolina night club last weekend, so i’d say he’s single.

Pietro Boselli, 27

One day Professor Boselli was teaching an engineering class. One of the students googled her professor's name because well, he was ridiculously attractive. Turns out Professor Boselli was also a famous male model. How do you even concentrate in that class?

Buddhi Box Review

I’ve done a lot of subscription boxes but have never gotten one close to this one.  This box is great for the yogi inside all of us.

What's A Buddhi Box?

Buddhi Box was created by Maxine Chapman, a yoga teacher.  She was giving products to her students and fellow teachers.  After all the positive responses from everyone, she came up with the idea to give to a larger scale of yoga enthusiasts.  

You can get two different types of Buddhi Boxes.  One has 4-6 samples, and the other one had 4-6 full size products.  The small box is $11.95 and the larger one is $30.95.
Get this box at buddhiboxes.com   

What's Inside?

Each box comes with a quote, yoga pose, and a recipe.  

Samples




Sweat Towel
I’m an amature yoga student, so I didn’t even know a sweat towel was a yoga necessity.  It’s pretty simple. It’s made to absorb sweat, and you can also use it as a strap to deepen your asana postures.  

Saucha - Get the Funk Out
This is made from the same company as the yoga towel.  It is made to kill bacteria and odor from your gym clothing and mats.  Together, the towel and the spray are $15.

Gomacro Bar
So this bar lasted until right after I took the pictures of the box.  I’m always looking for new protein bars because I work out all day, and in the hot summer months, the last thing you want is to not be eating enough.  

Poppy & Elle HeadBands
These are made the same way the felt hair types are.  They are the only type of hair tie that does not damage your hair.  Also they are only $2 each, and many stores in my town don’t even sell the hair ties for that price.  

Below the Oak Vixen - Solid Perfume
This is something you can take with you wherever you go because it is small enough to fit in a makeup bag.  

Frisky Fish - Fresh
This essential oil is used to clear and awaken your mind during a yoga or meditation session.  

AM Yoga Meditations
This is great to use the morning after a stressful day before.  You can listen online or download it on your device to take with you wherever you go.

Fly Buddha Foundation

I like to support companies that give back.  Every month, this box gives a portion of their sales to a charitable organization.  This month, they gave a portion to the Fly Buddha Foundation, which is a non-profit that assists women with gynecological cancer in the preservation of their fertility.  


New Trend: Two Piece Twin Sets

Online shopping is something I do so much that I think I should start calling it a hobby.  When I was looking through websites for new clothing ideas, I came across this interesting idea.  There is a new trend that’s two-piece outfits.  Matching is no longer for toddlers when the top and bottom goes together.  These outfits are either a cop top with a skirt or a crop with a pair of shorts.

A New Take On a Maxi Dress

Maxi Dresses are something that I’ve never come around to.  I feel like the long single printed dresses can wash you out and hide your shape.  This is a new take on a maxi that shows your curves and is a little more sexy for those night outs.  

 Business Casual

This would be a very fashionable thing to wear to work if you work in a creative industry.  For some reason, I feel like this would be the perfect ensemble to wear to a gallery opening in New York City with a pair of heels.  

Body Con



This is a little different than the normal body con dress, and I kind of like it a lot more because bodycon skirts always ride up and become way too short on me.  But in the twin sets, the skirt is longer and hits at a flattering part of your waist if you’re like me and have an hourglass body shape.  

A Different Kind Of Romper

The worst thing about a romper is - I’ll just say it - when you have to use the restroom.  This twin set is a great idea because you don't have to mess with the straps of your romper. You just have the shorts, but it looks as cute as a romper.

Trend Tuesday

There are some things that I never thought 19-year-old me would love to have in her closet right now like a pale pink tutu and a jumpsuit.  Trends are something that come and go, but they always seem to come back, so maybe don’t throw away everything once it goes out of fashion.  

Tutu Skirt

You can now wear tutus in public and not just when you’re five years old at a dance recital you can’t wait to be over.  I really like this because it looks great if you’re wearing the tutu with a fancy top or a t-shirt.
Love LULU*s Tutu

 Crop Halter Top

Halter bikini tops are in high demand right now.  It took me an hour to find one that wasn’t over $80.  But this style is not just for the beach.  It is a great top to wear for drinks with the girls or on a date.  Halter tops show off your arms, and if they’re like the one in the picture, your toned back.

 Leather and Stripes

Stripes are not for sailors anymore.  People believe that stripes can make you look heavier, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.  The trick is not to wear stripes that have the same width.  Wear a white shirt with thin black stripes, for example.  
Shirt: Landsend

 Long Printed Circle Skirts

I am obsessed with skirts - no longer are they for 50s housewives.  These are skirts that go past your knee, but not to the floor.  They are great to wear with a cute pair of heels or wedges.  I would suggest wearing them with nude heels if there are multiple colors in the skirt.  

 Sequin Jacket 

This jacket is something I could totally see Mindy Lahiri wearing.  This jacket may not be the most professional thing to wear to work, unless you work in the art industry, but it is a fun jacket to wear on a night out.  Also, it is very complimenting to a jean shirt.  

 Jumpsuit 

I never thought I would ever put a jumpsuit on my blog.  Every time I’ve tried one on, it was the most unflattering piece of clothing ever.  But since I saw T. Swift’s at the Billboard Music Awards, I’ve been obsessed.

 Lace Romper

Rompers are perfect for summer.  The reason being is that they’re something different than a dress or a pair of shorts.  Also, they are very flattering for every body type because they come in very different styles.
