Hair Color Envy- Honey Blonde

If any of you reading this know me at all, you know that I've had some serious hair troubles lately. For the past couple of years I've been a blonde, but last summer my blonde hair took a turn for the worst.  My hair must have been exposed to the sunlight too much, because I somehow became a bleach blonde and it was not pretty.

The following fall, I decided I wanted to gradually go back to my natural hair color, which is like a dark blonde/light brown color. I chose to do this by getting an ombre, which also ended up being a disaster.  I had to get my hair re-colored 3 times, which not only cost a ton of money but was torture for my hair.  At first, it wasn't noticeable enough.  Then I got it re-done more dramatic, and I just looked like I had terrible roots. After that, I went to a different hairstylist who made it a little more bearable.  After about four months with this look, I decided I wanted to just nix the ombre idea altogether.  However, when I went to get my hair returned back to normal, I still left with an ombre.

So now here I am, with hair that has an array of different colors and really no method to the madness.  It's sort of an ombre, sort of not.  But I know what I want to do now.

I absolutely LOVE the honey blonde hair color.  I think it's perfect for any season, it's natural looking, and is very feminine.  I'm getting my hair done next week, so let's hope that this time I actually leave looking how I'm supposed to look!

Maxi Madness

I don't know about y'all, but I am in love with maxi dresses right now! They are the perfect clothing item for the summer-- they can be dressed up or down according to the occasion.  I saw a girl today wearing a gray maxi dress with a jean vest and she looked perfect for daytime! All she had to do was throw on a pair of wedges to complete her look for the night.
Since I'm a little obsessed with maxis lately, I thought I'd show some that I love right now.  Unfortunately, half of the dresses I love are too short for me, so I can't wear them.  Which sucks.  But I'm still on the hunt for the perfect maxi for me!

Aren't they so adorable?! I threw in the jean vest so you can see how cute it looks with literally every single dress.  Everything I posted is from Nordstrom (shocker) because so far Nordstrom is the only store that has dresses long enough for me.  Also, most of the dresses are under $100!

That's all I have for today!

What's Hot at Nordstrom

Hey everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since my last post! I started my internship the first week of June and I have been too exhausted to do just about anything.  I really want to get in the habit of blogging more often, though, so let's hope I can stick with it!

I've only been interning at Nordstrom for almost three weeks now, but I love it.  I can already tell that Nordstrom is where I belong.  Everyone that works there is so kind and helpful!  Not to mention I'm already pretty knowledgeable on the product since I've shopped there since I was in middle school.
Spending every day surrounded by beautiful clothes, accessories, and shoes has been hard, though.  I already barely have any self control when it comes to shopping when I'm not in a department store for 8 hours a day! I haven't bought anything yet, but I've had my eye on quite a few things.

My favorite department at Nordstrom has actually just been re-vamped.  It's called Savvy, and it's super trendy but also at a good price point.  Everything is really fun and colorful!  There's also quite a few daring pieces that I've been wanting to try out.  I walk by that department every day wanting to buy it all.

Here's just a few things that I've had my eye on since I've started work:

The first six items are all form the Savvy department, and they're all under $100! The vest on the bottom is from the T.B.D. department.  You can't really tell in the picture, but the details are gorgeous and it has lots of studs. Super cute.  The satchel and the sunglasses case are both Rebecca Minkoff, and the sandal is Circus by Sam Edelman.  Since I work in the shoe department, I've been drooling over many pairs of shoes, but this is the one I really want so far.

That's all I have for y'all today! Enjoy!
