My Summer Hairstyle Tutorial With TRESemmé & E!News

Good morning readers, I’m so excited/nervous because today my E!News interview and summer hairstyle tutorial with Deepica Mutyala and John D from Miami Swim Week goes live on the E!News site today. Filming the e style contributor contest segment in Miami with the TRESemmé team was one of the coolest experiences of my life and I’m so grateful that I got to be a part of it. The segment will eventually air on TV, but for now you can view it online. I included photos from the hair tutorial, but you’ll have to head over to E!News online to watch the segment and hear all about the details of my hair.

You’ll see in the hair tutorial video that John D used new TRESemmé Botanique Collection to help create this beautiful braided hairstyle with textured beach waves.

Meeting Deepica Mutyala was such a treat because she is just as beautiful and vivacious in person as she is on her Youtube channel.

Trying Out The Bandana Trend

Hi everyone, I must start off this post by saying that I realize I may look like a gondolier (aka a person who drives a gondola), but hey, I wanted to try out the bandana trend! If you look past the fact that I look like I’m about to take some folks on gondola ride, I think you might really like this look especially since my striped tee is under $12 from Old Navy. I’ve really been loving Old Navy’s boyfriend style tees for easy transitional outfits plus they come in over 10 different colors including these stripes. So hey, I might be a gondola girl, but at least I know good deal when I see one! You can check out more of the tee styles here—> Old Navy Tee Shop

White Tie Front Romper

Hi everyone, I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I’ve been loving the perfect weather here in Southern California.

Today, I’m sharing this sassy tie front romper from the Kendall + Kylie collection. I actually wore this look during Miami Swim Week and now it’s marked down to 50% OFF here. It looks stunning against a nice golden, Miami tan and some nude heels to help elongate your legs. I also paired it with my new Kendra Scott Samantha necklace to fill the deep v-neck and distract from all the bare skin and cutouts. I usually try to avoid pieces without cutouts, but I found this romper to be exceptionally flattering. It hugs you in all the right places and gives you room where you need it. At least that’s how it fits on me!

I’m about 5ft and 120 lbs and I’m wearing the size small in the white and it fits perfectly. I’m even considering getting the black too since it’s on sale! I’m thinking I could the black in early fall with a moto jacket or bomber draped over it.

The New Gigi New York Jenni Saddle Bag

Happy Friday everyone! It’s official, the Fall 2016 “it” bag has already made its way to the hands of every fashion influencer. I’m talking about the seventies style saddle bag and after almost a half a year of research and designing, Gigi New York and I have created the perfect bag!

I’m so excited that today is finally the launch of my newest handbag design with Gigi New York, the Jenni Saddle Bag! To celebrate we’re offering 20% OFF with code: HAUTE20 (code ends 8.21)

| Shop The Jenni Saddle Bag |

I’m constantly traveling and running all over town so I specifically designed the Jenni Saddle Bag for stylish girls on the go. Right now, there are so many different renditions of the saddle bag so I worked with the Gigi New York design team until we reached the perfect shape, size, length and style that would would dominate the saddle bag game. In fact, we tested out four different samples before producing the final bag. I created the Jenni Saddle bag to be petite enough to stay out of the way while also large enough to hold everything from your phone, keys, sunglasses, wallet, touch up makeup and more.

Scroll through this post to see how I styled my Jenni Saddle Bag in stone and tan.

My favorite aspect of the Jenni Saddle Bag is the full pocket across the backside of the bag to easily access essential items like your phone and keys. However, I also love the fact the that the tassel is a removable keychain in case you want to go for a sleeker look or swap out the tassel for a different color.
