The Girl on the Go

Lately I've been feeling so incredibly rushed. And it's not necessarily a bad thing, but getting up for 8 am classes two times a week is really putting a damper on any motivation I have to dress myself properly in the morning. So, that being said, I thought it would be fun to gather up a bunch of functional and easy looks for the girl who's always on the run!

My go-to outfit on a day when all I want is to be comfy tends to be my favorite Gap sweater, these jeans from Madewell, and Bean boots. Sometimes I throw a scarf in there depending on the weather, but it's literally the best outfit for a packed day. And then when I get home? All I've got to do is take the Bean boots off, slip my slippers on, and cozy on up by the fire with a cup of decaf!

But, if you're looking for something a little more proper, fooling someone into thinking you really tried this morning has never been easier with these looks!

Conquer Frizz

with a braid...

...or a cute hat!

Spruce it Up

Or a leather jacket! You actually can't ever go wrong.

Keep it Simple

... with a look very similar to my favorite look! 

Or add a vest to play it up a bit! The J. Crew Excursion Vest anyone?

Let the Shoes Do The Talking

Sometimes a simple outfit with the right shoe is all you need.

... But seriously how cute are these?

Alrighty, have a good Wednesday ladies... I apologize for such a quick post, lab training calls! Make sure to beat the back-to-school craze with these tips on limiting stress and find some time for yourself this week!

Play it Up! New Year, New Do

I don't know what it is about the new year that always has me wanting to switch things up with my hair, but every January I find myself in a constant state of confusion over whether or not to take the plunge. Go shorter? Grow it longer? Go dark or blonder? The struggle.

I really don't like my natural hair color. When people ask me what it is I tell them that it's closest to an ugly shade of mud... It just does not compliment me at all. Since I've been coloring my hair, I've always switched it up from some shade of brown to dirty blonde to blonde. I think I've finally come to terms with the fact that my personality is best suited for a blonde. (And no, I'm not implying anything about dumb blonde jokes... although we all have our moments, right?)

That being said, when I mentioned going shorter this summer to my hairdresser she was like "No! Why!" So no clue yet on whether or not that'll happen.

To keep boredom at bay, I've taken a look at some hairstyles I'd like to try this year! Check out my board on Pinterest for more ideas!

I love all these styles, and have attempted a few of them already. My go-to on a bad hair day almost always includes some kind of braid or pony. This longer, fuller ponytail is a favorite of mine. It makes it so easy to fool people into thinking my hair is longer than it actually is! Experimenting with my hair is one of my favorite things to do. Loose curls every day gets kind of boring after a while! Ya know?

Weekly Wonders

It's over! My favorite holiday also tends to be the most stressful holiday. Making sure to buy all the important people in your life gifts that you really, really, really hope they love puts a girl under quite a bit of pressure. I'm happy to say I think I did really well this year, although the people I love aren't necessarily hard to please... I mean, my brother got gift cards to every fast food restaurant imaginable and was beyond thrilled.

Anyways, now that Christmas is over and the only thing really left of the holiday season is New Years, I feel like I can finally breathe. Thank goodness! I'm anxiety-ridden enough without gift giving being involved. I know I said it yesterday, but I hope you gave gifts people loved and received gifts that put a smile on your face. 

Here's to the next holiday season, and the last "Weekly Wonders" post of 2013!
