BEAUTY BAR: Don’t Sweat It

Being stuck in the heat this summer has never looked cooler. Between summer classes and work, I’m constantly running back and forth between with my hair up and my hair down. This Fashionista perfectly exemplifies the best go-to hair style that will never go out of style for summer and every other season: the low messy bun. This look is effortlessly cool, chic and practical. Paired with a oversized T-shirt dress the look is simply casual and sure to suit any event such as a brunch with family, an internship or even a casual night hanging with friends. One of my favorite elements of this Fashionista’s outfit is the bold (but not too bold) lipstick she chose. Pairing this with her natural makeup creates a dewy look perfect for the summer months.

This Fashionista’s purse is a very intricate, beautiful piece that can play off of the casualness of the Fashionista’s makeup. I love when different pieces that wouldn’t normally go with an outfit do. Opting for a comfortable shoe makes the walking a whole lot easier, since you’ll have more free time in the summer to finally go to that coffee shop you always wanted to try but never had time for.

I find that being lazy with beauty and fashion is one of the habits I acquire during the warmer months. I think that’s okay because it can become tiring worrying about every detail of your outfit. Some of the best combinations I make are the ones where I only have 5 minutes to change.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To complete this effortless summer look, all you need is a clear elastic band to make the messy bun. If your hair is longer, I suggest pulling out small pieces of hair to create an even messier look. Adding small braids into the bun can make it dressier if you aren’t looking for something so easy. I think paring this look with a coral or pink tone lip stain would be the perfect compliment to the hairstyle.
