Summer Hair Accessories

Posted on by kennahgurl

Hey girl hey! I am extra excited today to be sharing some summer hair accessories to make your life easier. I love these hair accessory trends because they’re cute + they make getting ready in the summer super quick. There are a million things to do this & throwing in a headband with yesterday’s curls = farmers market win. I went to Anthropology this past weekend and felt like I had entered hair heaven.

PONYTAIL SCARF // I never want this to go out of style. It’s such an easy way to spruce up hair you haven’t washed in a couple days. It comes in LOADS of different colors. A few of my picks : Cheetah, white floral, tropical & pink floral.

Whats better than 1 ponytail holder? Sets! Rose & Blue tie dye, colored gingham, neutrals,

KNOTTED HEADBANDS // I think this is such a cute trend & I’ve seen so many girls wearing them. When I walked into anthropology and saw these prints I about died over how adorable they were but honestly I was a little worried they would look weird on me. I desperately wanted them to work because how easy to throw a headband into you hair on a summer day? It makes it actually look like you tried! After trying them on, I’M SOLD. They didn’t look strange at all. They looked just as cute on me as they did on all the Instagram girls. Here are a few of my favorite prints : white, palm print, blue & white stripe, pink twist, coral, raffia, peach gingham.

BARRETTES & CLIPS // I wasn’t on board with this trend at first but it’s grown on me. Perfect for summer because they keep your hair out of your face. I was drooling over these sets when I saw them to be exact. Pearl set, colored beaded set, tortoiseshell clips, peachy clips, watercolor clip set, shell barrette, octopus clips.

Monthly Update!

Posted on by kennahgurl

Hey girl heyyyy, welcome back! Today I’m sharing my new discoveries that I’m obsessing over & I think y’all will love too.

BEAUTY & FASHION //

1- Laneige Lip Glowy Balm! If you love the lip mask in a jar, this is the tube form! No longer do you have messy fingers or the little spatula that breaks before you even finish the jar! Major bonus for us germaphobes.

2- The best Camo T-shirt, it has the best fit & is only $8 at Target! #targetwin

3 – Platform sandals that won’t break the bank & will help you stay on trend. They come in 11 different colors.

4- How cute are these Pink Checkered Vans?! Gimme all things pink !!

LIFESTYLE //

3 – Meal prepping has never been easier with these to-go salad containers. They has a spot for all your toppings & dressing separate from your lettuce. No more soggy croutons or trying to pile 4 containers while running out the door to work! By the way if you can – checkout your local Home Goods or TJ Maxx to see if they have them because they’re likely cheaper there + you can find extra dressing containers.

4 – Bluetooth speaker we took with us this weekend to Bear Lake at the beach. It’s waterproof, shock proof, & has 15 hour battery life. Colby loves it for RZR rides too.

5 – This loveseat style camping chair has made summer baseball games much more enjoyable. My family usually has a big fan section so we end up in rows where people can’t see, our’s is the low version so we sit closer to the ground & everyone else can see over our heads. Plus I think its the most comfortable folding chair I’ve ever sat in.

I also just discovered that TJ Maxx has an online website so goodbye to all my money. Don’t ask how I didn’t know this, after finding Home Goods doesn’t have a website I just assumed there was no websites for discount stores.

6 – This planter basket + a fiddle leaf tree = finishing touch for any room.

7 – If I had a house you can bet that this cheetah cowhide area rug would be in it. I may just have to buy it to keep for later because I’m daydreaming of putting it in my office.

8 – My mom re-did the office & got some pillows that look exactly like these Textured Boho Tassel Pillow.

June Monthly Update

Posted on by kennahgurl

Okay we’re a little bit late on this one, but better late than never AMIRIGHT?? I think I am. June has been crazy and I cannot believe it’s almost the 4th of July! I’ve been waiting for fireworks & BBQs for SO LONG! I’ve been using my youtube app a lot lately watching make-up tutorials, one I am loving is Desi Perkins. She is a glow & brow queen, everything she makes really is so awesome. Definitely check her out. Also her make-up room is to DIE for, if there was one thing in life I could have THIS WOULD BE IT!!

 

Songs :

Products :

  1. I’ve NEVER been a fan of blush before, until I found this color from Tarte. I always end up looking too flushed and red. This blush is different, it’s subtle and the perfect color for my pale pale complexion.
  2. My new favorite lipgloss in the color creme brûlée & its $3.69 at Target.
  3. I’m SO excited to share this Protein Water. YES!! Protein water. I absolutely hate protein shakes, but these… these are AMAZING. 60 calories. 0 sugar. 15g protein. Depending on the flavor the protein is 10-15 grams. I got the variety pack with 15g.
  4. I ordered this jumpsuit for my trip to Seattle. Since I’ve been home I’ve worn it multiple times & I try to wear it every chance I get. It’s seriously comfy and can be dressed up or down.
  5. I’ve been looking for a pair of platform sandals for a minute and found these black Steven Madden ones. Also considering these ones with a white sole.
  6. Brought home this pair of Nike’s from the 5 floors of bliss Nordstrom store in Washington.
  7. HAIR ACCESSORIES… Anyone else been loving this trend?? Found this cute Bandana pony scarf. Maybe I’ll make a full post with all the fun things I’ve found recently, we’ll see.
  8. Nothing says summer like an eyelet blouse.
  9. Summer also means a lot of weddings to attend. I love this pocketed fringe dress.
  10. This Tommy Tee is so cute, it could even work for the 4th of July that isn’t so 4th of July.
  11. Gingham and tie front, this shirt is a winner.
  12. Might need one more swimsuit to get thru the summer, this striped lace-up front one piece will do.

Websites :

Love all the cute clothes on vicicollection.com. They always have a 20% discount going on & you can find the code on their Instagram but really they already have great prices!

Going through a home decor obsessed phase so I’ve been spending a fair amount of time on crateandbarrel.com.

Reading :

I read 2 books by Shari Lapena and both were SO GOOD. I’ve been into mystery thrillers lately and I couldn’t put either one of these down. I read A Stranger in The House and The Couple Next Door.

Xx,

Kennah

White Sneakers & How to Keep them White

Posted on by kennahgurl

It’s no secret white shoes are a huge trend because they are so versatile. You can wear them with a dress, jeans or shorts & they still look cute, but how do you keep your white shoes looking white? Below is what I do & other ideas of what you can do to keep those shoes around for awhile.

1. Protectant Spray – if you google this one from Nordstrom there are tons of crazy videos to show you exactly how well it works.

2. Washing Machine – I had someone tell me they’d never heard of putting shoes in the washing machine. This is how I wash all my canvas type shoes or even Nike sneakers & air dry them. Not all shoes can be washed so be sure to look into your specific pair.

3. Magic Eraser – I’ve a huge fan of magic erasers and they work great on leather or the soles of your shoes.

4. Tooth Brush & Soap – This is my ride or die when cleaning shoes. There’s always 2 tooth brushes in my bathroom. 1 for brushing teeth and 1 for cleaning shoes. I love it because you can clean them as they get dirty so if you have one little spot it’s easy to hurry and get it out.

5. Bleach – I don’t use this often because bleach scares me honestly, I always end up with bleach somewhere it’s not supposed to be. If you use this method be sure to dilute it with water!

Tip : Put a towel inside the shoes to help them dry faster.

Monthly Update !!

Posted on by kennahgurl

When I first started this series of monthly updates, I didn’t know it would end up being one of my favorite things to write. I love being able to share and talk about all the things I’ve been using from apps to websites and products and music. It also gives me an excuse to try tons of new things. Last month I recommended the Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversation and I’ve still been listening to it this month. I listen in the mornings and it really helps me start my day with a positive attitude and a humble heart. Cannot recommend it enough. Plus its Oprah, who doesn’t love her??

Apps :
  • Kourt App from Kourtney Kardashian. (You probably hate the Kardashians but their beauty and health knowledge is unmatched).
  • My Water App. (It reminds you to drink water throughout the day, you input your information and it tells you how much water you should be drinking but I actually upped mine to be 80 oz a day).
On my playlist :

Earned It – Bootstaps (A nostalgic version of the 50 Shades of Grey hit).

Delicate – Taylor Swift (Not sure how it’s taken me this long to find this song but the album is soo good).

Electric Love – BORNS

Whole Lot in Love – Austin Burke

Also been listening to a whoooleeee lot of JT since his concert.

Say Something – JT

Supplies – JT

Summer Love – JT

Things I’m Loving :
  1. My new favorite exfoliating face wash. It helps me control my oil and makes my skin super soft!!
  2. This facial spray with aloe, herb and rosewater is a great mid-day refresher. I also use it in my hair on day 2 and 3 when it needs a little extra love. I bought it s month ago and it’s already half gone.
  3. I caved and bought Anastasia Beverly Hills new Amrezy Highlighter. I swatched it on my hand in the store and fell in love instantly. It actually looks wet and dewy.
  4. I have been looking for the perfect white ruffle sleeve top and I think I have found it.
  5. Loving cropped skinny jeans right now & I’m stocking up for summer. These Vervet Destroyed skinny jeans are in my cart and ready for checkout. These Distressed Hem skinny jeans are out of stock in my size, but I’ll be back for them.
  6. Just bought this mini black denim skirt. I paired mine with a cream sweater and a gold belt and got so many compliments. Would also look adorable with this button up.
  7. I’ve been doing a ton of health and wellness research because I’ve been sick a lot this winter. I found these wellness shots at target and found them online as well. They’re blue green algae wellness shots, blue green algae is a superfood packed with proteins, vitamins and nutrients.
  8. White PEACHY Tee. Only $23 and it looks so soft and comfy, I need it.
  9. Newport front tie top that I’m on the email list for because its out of stock in my size, but I am 100% buying this for Seattle.
  10. Been needing a new pair of athletic shoes and I found these alpha bounce adidas also love these adidas Originals Deerupt Sneakers.
  11. I’ve been redoing my closet (which i will make a separate post about) but one thing I bought is this red Levi’s Tee.
  12. I posted about this lip mask last month because I had just got it but my updates is… it’s amazing. As good as everyone’s been saying. After having it on I can’t stop rubbing my lips together because of how soft they are.
Favorite Shops to Spend time on :

World Market – I love to go into this store as well they have the best furniture and I got the best smelling body scrub from Huntington Soap Co.

LA Hearts Swimwear – I spend a ridiculous amount of time looking for swimsuits for summer body inspiration.

Thrillest – Has the best travel guides, I have been using it to look up yummy places for my upcoming trip with my sister to Seattle.

ASOS – Again been redoing my closet and some of it has been from this shop! They have EVERYTHING.

Favorite Finds + Monthly Update

Posted on by kennahgurl

Finally January is over! Am I the only one who feels like it is easily the longest month of the year? Onto February, it’s starting to feel like it’s Spring and I am LOVING it! Which means new colors, new fashion, and cleaning out everything! I love getting rid of old clothes and re-doing my closet pretty much every season. I have my classics that are good year round and then my seasonal pieces I mix in. Here are the things I am obsessing over at the moment.

  1. I’ve been using this teeth whitener toothpaste for a while now and need another tube actually.
  2. The sweetest girl at my lash salon showed me this amazing hand cream. It smells amazing and makes my hands softer than any other lotion I’ve ever used. It’s like liquid silk.
  3. Another favorite skin combo is my shea sugar scrub and the hemp tropical hand lotion.
  4. Might be buying this geometric succulent wall hanger for a specific bridal shower.
  5. The perfect crew neck tee, under $10 which means I can buy it in every color and not feel bad about it.
  6. The cutest/comfiest jersey dress for running errands or even church.
  7. My mom bought the cutest black mules that I will be stealing from her.
  8. I’m going to need a little more motivation to go to the gym. I think these chalk pink Rebok trainers will work or these black adidas.
  9. Cropped sweatershirt I would like in every single color. Only $25.
  10. Needing this she is fierce mantraband. And anything else women empowerment.
  11. This recommendation also comes with a warning. Once you start you cannot stop with this candle. No it is not just any candle I know what you’re thinking.
  12. Anything BP from Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack is my JAM! Especially these springy mauve colored round sunglasses. Don’t feel bad if you lose or break them because they were only $14.
  13. Also from BP, tier sleeve sweatshirt dress. Would look so cute with these sneaks.
