Summer Fashion Tips

Summer Fashion Tips by mscheek featuring OPI

Summer is one of my favorite times of the year because it's one of those seasons that I get in the mood to experiment with clothing, colors, patterns, you name it. But with experimenting comes spending more money then I would like to, so this is were I try to find those classic and timeless summer looks that can transition from one look to the next. A lot of my friends like to lean towards lots of floral prints in the summer which is great, but why not invest in that rose gold necklace you've had your eye on? That necklace because of it's simple touches could be paired with pretty much everything you own! And that blush colored pink maxi skirt you saw on sale at the mall? Ring it up for me please! That maxi could be worn for a casual day out running errands or dressed up with a crop top. That options are endless, ladies! Summer fashion is so fun because the options are limitless and so fun! 

Summertime is also (in my opinion) perfect for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things. Never in my life would I have thought I could pull off bright bold jewelry or a floppy sunhat but I was wrong! The pop of color against your "simple summer look" can played up the vibe of your whole look more then you even know. It's all about picking your pieces and putting them together with items that you wouldn't necessarily think makes sense. But that's just it...it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on a bunch of different items of clothing or accessories when you can invest in a handful of things that can be transitioned over the course of years! Put your money where it's well spent and work with the items that you've got. And viola, your a fashionista and you might not have even known it! 

Stocking Stuffer Ideas

Waking up, sitting around the Christmas tree with family, and going through our stockings is probably my favorite part of Christmas morning by far. From the sweet Pandora charms, cute iPhone cases, and monogrammed items to the everyday essentials like lip balm, hair ties, and nail polish, I'm always anxious to see what "Santa" has brought me. Stocking Stuffers can be as simple or as personalized as you want them to be! Everyone loves a good ole' gift card (especially to places like Starbucks) but not everyone would want a gold bow bracelet to add to her stack. And what you get doesn't have to be expensive, which makes shopping for things to put in your loved one's stocking 10x easier and much more fun! If you are one of those individuals who has a hard time trying to decide what to get someone, no need to stress because you can never go wrong with items like I have listed above. :) And plus, it's important to remember that the holiday season isn't about the gifts under the tree or the items that fill our stockings. The holiday season is about celebrating the birth of Jesus and as the famous Grinch says, "Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more".
