10 EASY SUMMER HAIRSTYLES TO TRY

During the summer the last thing I want to have to worry about is your hair.  I'm thinking box braids a la Solange may be my next hairstyle, but I'm not patient enough to sit for that long.  Oh well.  I'll think of something.  What is your go-to look for Summer?

A BEAUTIFUL HISTORY WITH P&G BEAUTY

Ah, it's about 8:45pm and I'm literally running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get everything ready for this weekend. I wanted to quickly share with you all a video that celebrates decades of beauty and style trends! Brands like Covergirl, Pantene, and Olay are commemorating these iconic styles by locking away a time capsule packed with Facebook-fan favorites – plus other 2013 must-haves from fashion, entertainment and more. I love looking back at these trends and also seeing how things cycle back around. So when the kids of 2038(!!!) look at what we wore, what do you want them to see? You can vote for your favorite products and brands to be locked in to the time capsule on StyleUnited on Facebook. Voting ends on June 27th! 

 Now, back to my looooong to-do list!

TREND SPOTTING: FLORAL DRESSES

Clearly I've been really into dresses lately as seen here, and also here.  With good reason though, it is Summatime, Summatime (que music please) and in Texas heat I'm way more comfortable in a dress than a pair of jeans!  Floral dresses conjure up memories of those little floral print Jessica McClintock dresses my mama used to buy for me, and I loooved them.  As a kid I thought they were just the fanciest little things.  Well now the more grown-up options are sweet, flirty, and perfect for a dinner date or wedding.  Dress them up with heels or flat sandals depending on the occasion.
