Fourth of July Outfits + DIY American Flag Shoes

I had almost forgotten that July is literally around the corner. But it did plant a big smile on my face because that means that the Fourth of July is on its way and I will be able to spend some quality time with family. I love the smell of BBQ, cuddling around a fire or watching movies, and looking up as the bright sparks of fireworks stretch across the night sky. This holiday always sneaks up on me, but this year I was prepared and filmed a video for you all. It's four different outfits in four different styles along with a fun DIY on American flag shoes!

Beanie-Friendly Hairstyles!

Hey there!

Has everyone been enjoying December? I know I have! Yesterday we had a big storm but it was something we had been waiting for a long time. It gives me a good excuse to buy myself some cute rain boots!

Today's post is all about hair and how to style it and keep it warm at the same time! I was going to make it part of the Holiday Primp & Prep series but it seemed more like a simple tutorial than something to prepare you for the holidays. I'm also excited to show you my new hair! For all of you that have been following me for a while know that I had really dark hair and wanted a copper-red (hence, my blog name). I absolutely love it now and hairstyles have been so fun to do. I've been loving wearing beanies because they are cute and my ears are always cold. I've only been able to wear mine a couple times but I enjoy every minute of it when I do! I decided to do four simple hairstyles that are easy, quick and that will look good on everyone. Let me know what you girls think in the comments below!

Pigtail Braids

This is a very simple hairdo and it makes everyone look a bit younger because it is a childish look. I like to loosen up my braids and pull out hair to frame my face to give it an effortless vibe to it.

Loose Waves

This is my go-to look when it comes to wearing a beanie. It's simple and quick to achieve with a curling wand or by braiding your hair and leaving it over night.

Braided Side-Bun

This hairdo is not as simple but is still easy to do, even for me, who is not the best with hair. I started with a french braid on the right side of my head and went across to the left side then kept braiding all the way down. I secured it with a small elastic, created a bun with the braid and bobby-pinned it in place.

Make sure to make the bun low so that you won't have trouble fitting the beanie on. It will take a few adjustments but it ends up looking really cute!

Messy Side Braid

This hairstyle is very common for beanies. It's extremely simple and only takes a minute to do. I love the messiness of it, it looks so laid back and nice!

Thank you for visiting my blog! If you liked these, let me know in the comments below and I'll post a fancy tutorial on hair for a holiday party. Feel free to follow me on my social media to keep up with posts! Tuesday will be a fun DIY for my Holiday Primp & Prep series. Until next time, xoxo!

D.I.Y Cat Ears Headband♡

Hello there!

Halloween is almost here! Have any of you gotten your costumes planned and ready? I love dressing up as something fun, eating candy without being judged and watching countless Halloween movies! The costume possibilities are endless, which can be a problem for those who can never make up their minds. This Halloween, I'm going to be a cat and I was online searching for cat ears and I could not find a pair that I liked that was in my price range. So what's the next best thing? Making your own! Here's my D.I.Y on some cat ears, it's easy and surprisingly quick to make!

         

Here is what you need:

       

Most of these material were found at Michael's craft store and Beverly's! This project was under $20 to make!

       

Step 1: Take the black wire and cut two long enough pieces for the ears. Shape them into ears, you can make them into perfect triangles or curved like I did. Wrap the ends around the headband making sure nothing sticks out to poke your scalp when you wear it.

                             

Step 2: Use lace, or any fabric that you prefer, and measure enough material to cover the ears.

        

Step 3: Cut out the lace into the desired shape and glue them on with some Tacky glue. Hold down the fabric for 30 seconds to ensure that it will not slide of fall off.

        

Step 4: Take some rhinestones, beads or crystals of your choice and glue the rims of the ears for some glamour. This is my favorite detail about these ears! Let dry for a couple minutes and you're all done!

                          

Hope you guys like this D.I.Y and enjoy making a pair of your own! I love these and am beyond excited to wear them our on Halloween (Excuse the crookedness of my headband, I forgot to straighten it out in this picture!)
