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!

My Everyday/Travel Makeup Bag

So as I was putting together the list for makeup bag that I will have with me in the car when I go on my trip to the beach this summer, I decided that you might want to know exactly what's in there and why I bring them :) The first thing I going to show you is this awesome pallet I found in a discount makeup store: It is a "Sweet by Day, Sexy by Night" pallet. On one side it has a dark brown and a champagne shade eye shadow, a light and a dark shade of bronzer, a light and dark brown shade of lipgloss, and two small applicators. On the other it has a light shade of pink and an almost purple eye shadow, a light and dark shade of blush, a light and dark shade of pink lipgloss, and two small applicators. You can buy it at www.amazon.com/day-to-night for $5. I thought this was the most simple way to pack all that i would need! Next I'm going to show you the face products I am bringing: They are: The Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder The ELF Aloe Infus...

Winter As a College Student

Let me just tell you, there isn't a thing in the world fun about a dorm room in the winter!  On the happen chance that yours is as old as mine (pre-1960s, thank you very much) you probably have radiators too, which personally, I have very little control over.  Even on the off setting they exude so much heat that the room is stifling!  And then you open the window and snow starts blowing in... Yay Appalachian Mountains! Let's just all agree that is quite a process.  So what is one to do to combat these cold (and getting colder!) temperatures? First, I've got two B's for you (mostly because I couldn't come up with a third...)  Blankets and Bedwarmers! Let's face it, dorm rooms are tiny and your bed is the focus of the majority of decor, as well as where you will be spending a large portion of your time (yay Netflix binges!) so you need to make sure it is super cozy! Personally, I have my sheets and comforter that I sleep under every night.  ...

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right?  I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair.  My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it!  When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual.  Though it is hard to tell if I have...
