Blazers & braids.

If you have your own blog, or twitter, or tumblr, or instagram, you've noticed by now that blazers are super trendy right now (and have been for a few months).  Being back on campus as well as going out on weekends for birthdays or girls night out, blazers are seriously everywhere.  It's also reminding me to pick up a few more in darker colors seeing as of now, I only have a maroon blazer and a khaki one.  This weekend I went out for dinner and drinks for one of my good friends birthday's, and because we're in this up-and-down transitioning phase between seasons, I threw my light khaki blazer over a colorful sheer top for the occasion.


Personally, I've been pining for a navy or black blazer.  I've found some cute ones herehere, and & here in a wide variety of styles and prices!  I'd also love to pick up this great yellow blazer from H&M! This is how I would dress it up for this transition period between summer & autumn.


Blazer: H&M
Nailpolish: "Bahama Mama" by Essie
Purse: Lonchamp Le Pliage tote in Fir
Shoes: J.Crew leopard print flats
Jeans: Marc by Marc Jacobs Lou Skinny Wash Jeans
& pearl studs.

I'm super lucky that my roommate is an actual hair guru and while you cannot see it in the photos above, I have an amazing "waterfall braid" all around the back of my head.

As I've mentioned before, I work for my university's hockey team and they needed help training in the football interns this weekend, so they asked me to come in.  My roommate worked her magic and I got to channel my inner Katniss Everdeen with this braid:


Braiding my hair is my go-to on mornings I may not have time to blow-dry my hair, but I feel as though braids have gotten very popular over the summer and hopefully into the fall!  I think braids are just so classic and simple looking with minimal effort.  In my opinion, nothing looks better than a clean braid paired with pearl studs.

What's your go-to hairstyle in the morning?  Have you picked up a blazer for fall?
