Country Concert Lookbook

Early this fall I will be going to a Brad Paisley AND an Avett Brothers concert!  So when I found out King Ranch Saddle Shop was looking for inspiration when it comes to country style I had to share my ideas!  It is the dog days of summer, with hot days and cool nights here in the mountains, so I tried to create looks to fit all weather and styles!


Sassy
 For the budding flower child who needs to show a bit of a wilder side and have fun for the night!   This is a crop top and basic jean shorts, which could be subbed for light wash ripped skinnies if the venue is going to be cooler (which is actually what I wore to a Flogging Molly concert last fall!).
Crop Top: American Eagle
Shorts: Hollister
Flower Crown: Claire's


Sweet
 This is for the sweet girly girl who still want to show their country side.  It is a simple white lace top dress, to which I have added a red flannel for those cool Summer nights.  The flannel could be tied around your waist during the day, or substituted for a denim vest if you don't think it will be too chilly!
Dress: American Eagle

Flannel: Rue 21


Country
When better to go all out country than a Brad Paisley concert??  When else would it be appropriate to wear daisy overalls and boots?  To tone down the country look just a bit I added an off the shoulder shirt, which draws the eye up.
Overalls: Walmart believe it or not!
Shirt: American Eagle


Boots
The only thing I didn't mention throughout the post is the most essential part of your country concer get up... The boots!  Mine are from an obscure discount store in Pigeon Forge Tennessee, and though I have gotten a good five years out of them, truthfully they are beginning to look a little rough...  I am really lusting after some of the cowgirl boots from the King Ranch Saddle Shop website.  Cute and well made, those are your goals when buying boots!  
And don't worry guys, they have some cowboy boots for you as well that would look amazing paired with a flannel, jeans and a white tee shirt!

See the writing on the bottom of my boots?  I may have stolen this idea from Pinterest... It is a list of concerts the boots have been worn to, like a walking ticket stub!  But on the picture they had they only listed the country concerts they'd been to, and I chose to add the Folk and Irish as well!  I also went ahead and added my Brad Paisley and Avett Brothers concert coming up this Fall so you all could get a good idea of what this DIY looks like.  I thought this was a pretty cool idea and love that I can just use the bottom of my boot as a reference!

Let me know if you all have any concerts coming up or if you use any of theses ideas, and have a wonderful end of summer!

Homemade Beauty... Banana Sugar Body Scrub

You will need... 1 ripe banana 3 tablespoons granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or your favorite essential oil (optional) Smash ingredients together with a fork into a chunky goop, but don't over-mash or it will become too thin to use. If you want a banana scrub for your face, reserve some of the banana and mash it separately without sugar. In the shower, pat the sugar mixture and gently massage over your body. For your face, gently massage plain banana there, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with warm water. Credit to  http://www.treehugger.com/organic-beauty/8-homemade-salt-and-sugar-body-scrubs.html

How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

So you could buy the expensive (and pointless) makeup brush cleaner from insanely expensive makeup companies (MAC!), oooooor you can make your own! :) You will need: dish soap or  Johnson's Baby Shampoo olive oil a plate water  paper towels or a dish towel  dirty, dirty, DIRTY makeup brushes The soap is going to remove the bacteria, grease, and color left on your brushes while the olive oil helps to condition the brush bristles and keep them from drying out. First , add equal parts of the oil and soap onto a plate. Start with about a teaspoon of each, then add more as you go along, if needed.  Next , swirl your dirty brush in the mixture. You will see all the leftover makeup start to flush itself out of the brush.  After you’ve swirled it around for 10 seconds or so, rinse the brush in lukewarm water to get all of the soap out. Continue to rinse until the water runs clear and the brush is no longer soapy. **Make sure not t...
