Weekly Wears: Posies and Poppies

With the heat of the summer, my favorite beauty trick lately has been bright lipstick.  I mean, you sweat off the rest, but the lipstick can still make you look (and feel) put together.  I like it.


Dress: borrowed from Elsie
Belt:  thrifted
Shoes:  Blowfish
Necklace:  Urban Legend

I haven't really been into the milkmaid braids on myself, though I do love them on other people.  I decided to try them today for a change, and I actually liked them!  I stuck some colorful flowers in the braids and felt like a million (sweaty) bucks.  ;)  Seriously though, having my hair off my neck was wonderful.  This will be one of my go-to hairstyles for a while.

What are some of your favorite beauty tricks when it comes to high temperatures?  I'd love to hear them!  xoxo Katie

  11. This outfit and flower crown is beautiful! I've been trying to do braids on myself and actually frenched braided my hair for the first time last week b/c I was so sick of the ponytail or just letting it go wavy in this heat. Great look dear!

  13. At some point earlier this summer you did a tutorial on two messy buns held up with bands and bobby pins. That has become my go-to hairstyle for the past month. I've added french braids, twists, glittery clips, whatever to make it seem a little different each day, but with thick, long, curly hair and 100 degree weather, you've saved my summer!!

    Totally agree on the lipstick thing, I can look so pale and tired and a bit of lipstick makes me look so much more alive :)
