Shine On With Bumble and Bumble

With the windy weather we've been having, our hair has been flying everywhere.  Luckily, Bumble and Bumble's Shine On (and Finishing) Spray does the trick.  It controls our flyaways while adding a perfect amount of shine.  And even better, it doesn't weigh down your hair.  Just mist onto your hair post brushing and you are set to shine the entire day!

Designer vs. Deal: Black Statement Necklaces

Black jewelry has been a growing trend in the last few months.  It's a great way to add a bit of edge to an otherwise classic or conservative look.  We've found 2 amazing black necklaces that each make a statement!  Styling tip: Wear black jewelry with a feminine lace top or dress in white to create a strong contrast.

Cheap & Chic: Old Navy Waffle-Knit Sweater Under $25

For our latest edition of Cheap & Chic, we found this grey waffle-knit sweater from Old Navy.  The fit is loose without being baggy and fitted without being tight.  We love the uneven hem, which is longer in the back; it adds an effortlessness to the overall look.  At under $25, this is an amazing find!    
Styling Tip: Pair it with colorful or printed denim to be on trend for spring & add bold statement jewelry to complete the look.
