My 6 Favorite Fall Hairstyles

There are about a million reasons why I'm incredibly excited for Fall this year. To name a few: warm sweaters, hot apple cider, orange, red and yellow leaves, and stuffing myself with Thanksgiving turkey. But, there's nothing about Fall that gets me more thrilled than pairing my cozy, cream-colored cable knit sweater with a super relaxed, cascading braid. So, here are 7 different hairstyles that will make you feel confident and in style for the Fall season!

1. The Half Up French Twist

The half up french twist is both sophisticated, fun, and great for any hair length, texture or thickness! Use this style when you want to pull the hair away from your face to either: show off those great new earrings that you bought last week, or when you're spending your entire day with your face pressed into a textbook (snore). Pair with an oxford shirt, dark wash jeans, boots, and bold accessories.


2. The Messy Braided Updo

This style is for when you have a little bit of extra time in the morning, but want to make your look seem more effortless. This braided updo can be used for both casual and dressy styles; however I personally prefer to pair it with a great pair of distressed jeans, a black and white striped shirt, my favorite army green jacket, and white chucks.



3. The Pull Through Braid

This is a good one if you have thicker hair! I know from personal experience that my thick hair HATES when I try to force it into tiny, intricate braids - so this is one of my go to's for when I don't feel like fighting with my mane. This style is great for a long day of classes, or a dinner date with your girls. I prefer to wear this style with a nice cozy flannel, light wash jeans, and my cream colored Keds. (Make sure to pull down some hair pieces in the front to frame your beautiful face!)

4. The "Pumped Up" Pony

The pumped up pony is the best for those times when you hit snooze a

few (okay...seven) too many times. It's super quick and easy and looks absolutely adorable! When I have extra time I love to add some soft curls to my pony after I've put it up. For this look, I love to wear my favorite black leggings with an oversized sweater and my cognac colored riding boots. Pair this with a standout ring and you'll be ready for whatever the day has planned for you!


5. The Waterfall

The waterfall braid is one that you'll definitely receive tons of compliments on! It pairs the elaborate look of a braid with the relaxed and flirtatious aspect of having your hair flowing freely in the cool breeze that accompanies the Fall season. There are a lot of ways to play with this style to make it work for you and your hair type; the braid can be relaxed or snug and you can let your hair "do its thang", or style it (curly or straight!) to give it a more professional/chic appearance! My favorite outfit to pair with this hairstyle is a t-shirt dress with a denim jacket, boots, and gold hoop earrings!


6. The Frenchy

The french braid is an all time favorite that I've been using since I was in grade school. I love the simplicity and practicality of this incredibly charming plait. Go a little messy with it, or keep it neat and clean - either way you're guaranteed to turn some heads. I love to rock this style with a collegiate long sleeve t-shirt, jeans and cute sneakers, OR with a neutral colored top, oversized cardigan, skinny jeans, ballet flats, and a statement necklace.


No matter where your days take you, these 6 hairstyles are guaranteed to get you through it all! Family holiday gatherings, 8 a.m Chemistry, date night, you name it! Happy Styling!

XOXO - Meg

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

100
Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
