Bold Prints, Bolder Bricks: Street Walking, Blake Lively Inspired Hair, & More

Recently, I had a friend in town (hence the slacking on posts, oops), and one afternoon we took a trip down to the Miami Design District. The artwork is amazing: block after block of vibrant, graffiti-covered walls. It was almost surreal.

Dressed in our bold boho prints, this outdoor gallery made the perfect backdrop for my latest Style post. 







A healthy dose of goofing around is good for the soul.

We both opted for flowy, breathable outfits (it was a new level of scorching outside) with fun prints. Paired with cute sandals, and we were ready to go!

I have a new-found love for jumpsuits. I didn't know that they even came in such short sizes, but I found one that was the perfect length for me at the Saks Off 5th sale! They're so easy and comfortable to wear, and they make my legs actually look kind of long. Unheard of.

Another easy summertime favorite is this Blake Lively inspired braid.




 I used a large barreled curling iron to achieve a bit of wave and body. Then I pulled back half of my hair and braided it to one side. Super easy for second day hair! (Please excuse the mid-blink.) The half-braided look carried over perfectly to the rest of the afternoon spent at the beach: hair out of my face, but still partly down so I could feel like I was taking advantage of the body my hair mustered up from the sea water.

Also, I found a little sidewalk inspiration.




And with that, I bid you adieu! I hope you're all having a great week.
