Her style...

Her makeup...

Aside from  Lauren Conrad, I have a girl crush on Rachel Bilson. I've professed my love before because let's face it - the girl's got style and she is always on my radar. I would love to re-create all of the looks seen here, but somehow I think I'd fall a little short. I can definitely take some cues though: Her makeup looks radiant, she loves to wear little jackets to top off dresses, and her hair always looks soft and natural. She appears very comfortable in her own skin, something we can all admire.

Just a simple outfit worn Friday night when my fiance and I went out to sushi. We followed that by watching a great cover band that played all of our classic rock favorites. Friday nights are the best :)

Which begs the question: What do you wear on nights out? I find myself struggling to find something appropriate. I try to keep the outfit fun, but still classic as well.

Current Hair Care Loves

 

1. Pureology Volume Shampoo  - no sulfates, great for all hair types in my opinion 2. Pureology Hydrate Conditioner  3. Salon Grafix Invisible Dry Spray Shampoo - no white residue!  4. Macadamia Deep Repair Masque  - I use this once a week and it makes my hair so soft! 5. Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Spray Mousse - I spray this into my roots before blow drying for added volume 6. Kenra Platinum Silkening Mist (I love the gloss serum, but the mist is great too)  7. Josie Maran Argan Oil - I use this as an overnight treatment when my hair needs some extra TLC. Then I wash it out in the morning. It's very nourishing.

8. TRESemme Heat Tamer Spray - great before using a flat iron to protect my hair from high heat.

~ One thing I really need help with is a good texturizing or wave enhancing spray. I want to get something to put in my hair on days when I just want to air dry, but still want to tame my natural wavy (and frizzy) hair. Sort of that beachy, bohemian look. BUT, I want one that doesn't leave my hair dry and crunchy! Any good recs? I would appreciate it!

One of the best parts of blogging is avidly following other blogs. If Beautygirl24 didn't exist, I'd still spend my leisure time reading other blogs. There are just so many of you that I admire. One of my favorites and one I've mentioned numerous times on here is Veronika's Blushing. Her style is so polished! Plus, she seems like a sweetheart. When I saw her in this little pink dress, I knew I had to find one for myself! It's the perfect neon number that looks effortless and not at all like you're being overtaken by the trend. I went to my H&M, but they were all out of the pink. In fact, they were all out of my size in every color! They did have this black and white palm print option, and although I was hesitant at first, I snagged it in the XS and brought it home. I'm so glad that I did because it fits like a glove! I love the fitted top and the flowy bottom. I know I'm going to wear the heck out it (I've already worn it twice!)

I'm still determined to get it in the neon pink, but I'll have to hunt for it at another H&M location. Wish me luck!
