UK Trip 2013

I have been home two weeks now from my trip to the UK. I am sort of going through post trip depression, but doesn't everyone get that way? As you might remember, I went to London and Paris two years ago and have been dying to go back. From July 13-23, we traveled through England, Scotland, and Wales with the best tour group, ever. I met so many great people during this trip and I couldn't have asked for a better summer. So, without further ado, here are some photos from my travels.

London

I had a phenomenal trip. Our tour guide was hilarious, the hotels were welcoming, and not to mention, the weather was beyond gorgeous. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to return to reality. I start college in two weeks, which has quickly creeped up on me. I am happy to say that I will be returning to London next summer with my mom. It's a city I have grown attached to and I don't want to be away from it longer than I have to. I hope you all are having a wonderful summer.

My Ombre Hair

Guess who ombred their hair? That's right, this girl. You might be asking, "Why, Lindsey, what made you come to this decision to ombre your hair?" Well, you see, I have wanted to do this to my hair ever since the summer, but my parents shut me down and told me that I shouldn't damage my hair. I have never dyed or done anything to my hair. It is naturally blond and for the longest time I wanted to keep it that way. But I started to think and realized that my hair has been this one color blond ever since I was little. Also, my birthday is this coming Tuesday and I wanted to give myself a little birthday treat. Plus, I was in dire need of a change. I thought that ombreing my hair would be a good way to spice up my hair and give it more definition. I didn't want to dye the top of my hair brown or put different colors to the ends of my hair. I just wanted to go a little blonder towards the tips and that's exactly what my hair stylist did. I'm absolutely in love with my hair and I feel that it's something different than what I'm used to...but a good different. Since I've got this done, I want to should you guys a few ways I style my now, ombre hair!

OOTD: Transitioning into Fall

High-low top - Forever 21

Leggings - Express

Boots - Steve Madden

Scarf - Express

 Since the weather outside is getting rather chilly, I want to take my summer trends and transition them into this upcoming fall season. High-low tops were really big trends for the spring and summer. I do believe with the right matching, high-low shirts can still be big this fall. I took this high-low top from Forever 21 and added my must have fall accessories. I decided to go with black which is a fall-winter color. I paired the top with my black leggings from express. Scarfs are always my go-to fall accessory. Wearing this with any outfit will make it fall-esk. Boots are another fall and winter must have. Last year I was searching all over for the perfect black boots. I happened to come across these Steve Madden ones on Victoria's Secret. Let's just say that these can be used to dress up or dress down an outfit. They are the perfect fall boot. With adding any of these items, you can take a summer trend and transfer it into fall. By just adding a scarf or boots an outfit is instantly perfect for fall. Fall is just around the corner so start carving those pumpkins and buying that pumpkin spice coffee!!
