Fall Wardrobe & Hair Detox With Neutrogena

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing one of my hair detox secrets with you!  If you read yesterday’s blog post then you know I’m currently on a girl’s trip at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas so I’ll be needing a major detox when I return home. I’m talking all kinds of detoxing from my skin and hair to my body and even my wardrobe.  However, for today’s post I’m focusing on my wardrobe and hair detox with Neutrogena. I’ll start by sharing my my most recent “Anti-Residue Moment,” and that my friends, is dry shampoo buildup from traveling. I don’t know about you, but I just about double up on my makeup and dry shampoo usage while traveling. I think it might have to do with feeling like I need to freshen up every time I stop into my hotel room. Also, when you’re traveling with a group you don’t always have time to wash your hair and start from scratch. With that being said, my hair and face always needs an aggressive detox when I rerun home. So I love a good clarifying shampoo, but you have to be super careful with which clarifying product you choose because it can affect color-treated hair. I recently tried out Neutrogena’s Anti-Residue shampoo, which you can use as weekly treatment for your hair and on top of that it is safe for color-treated hair. It leaves my hair feeling clean and refreshed and best of all, you can even see the difference in your hair by the natural body and the way it shines. Oh and don’t worry, it smells good too!

As for my wardrobe detox, with November right around the corner, it’s finally time for me to swap out all my summer clothing for fall sweaters, jackets, jeans and booties. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t love spending an entire day going through all of last year’s fall clothing and packing up my entire summer wardrobe, but I do enjoy shopping after purging. I’ve already gone through a couple of boxes and put aside items to donate so I purchased this sleeveless sweater and moto jacket featured in today’s post.

Scroll through this post to see how I styled my new fall wardrobe additions and to see the results of my hair after using Neutrogena’s Anti-Residue shampoo.

Fall Travel Outfit

Hi everyone, I just landed in Las Vegas for a fun girl’s trip at the Venetian Hotel, but before I head off today enjoy the day, I wanted to share this fall travel outfit with you. I’ve noticed that you all seem to really enjoy my travel outfits on Instagram so I thought I would start posting more of those looks here on my blog. On top of that, all of the travel outfits I post are also great everyday wear.

I’m not going to lie… I did not look this put together for my 6 am flight today, but when I have more time to get dressed before flights I like to look more presentable. When it comes to putting a fall travel outfit together, I always make sure it includes 3 main components: comfortable jeans with pockets, closed toe shoes (with an extra pair of socks in my bag) and some type of outerwear.  I tried traveling in leggings for a while, but then I realized that I like having a pockets for random items so I went back to jeans. However, you can always go for a vest or jacket with pockets if you’d rather leggings! I highly suggest adding a vest to pull your whole look together and keeping a sweater in your bag so you don’t get to hot running around the airport etc!

A note on my travel bags: If there is one bag that I always bring with me when I travel, it is none other than my MZ Wallace Metro Backpack!

Not only is it stylish, but it’s also super lightweight and very cushiony on the shoulders plus it keeps you hands free!

Distressed Jeans + Nude Heels

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I’m showing you how I styled my distressed jeans and nude heels for an edgy chic fall look. Speaking of distressed jeans, raise your hand if your parents still make dumb comments/jokes about there being “holes” in your jeans! I’m going to confidently guess that most of you raised your hands! Seriously mom…how many times must we go over this!

Anyway, despite what our parents think, distressed jeans have continued to stay at the top of the denim trend list for the past few years and I don’t think they’re going away anytime soon. So if you haven’t embraced them yet I highly encourage you to give ripped jeans a try! I love my Joe’s Jeans Icon Ankle in Saxton, which are available at Zappos.

For this outfit, I styled my distressed jeans with a sleeveless sweater, my nude Steve Madden Skales heels and then I topped of the look with a military inspired jacket. I love how the studs on the jacket complement the edginess of the rips in the jeans.

Trend Obsession: Lace Tanks & Bomber Jackets

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Today I’m showing you how to style one of this season’s hottest trends: lace tanks with bomber jackets! Remember how I wore my olive lace tank with a rose gold bomber during New York Fashion Week? In case you missed it, check it out here–> Rose Gold Bomber + Lace Tank

For today’s look, I paired my lace tank and olive bomber jacket with some distressed jeans from Express and peep toe booties. I love how the lace tank looks feminine and sexy while the bomber jacket adds an edgy and masculine touch. This outfit is great for a date or night out with the girls.
