"And I slept in last night’s clothes and tomorrow’s dreams But they’re not quite what they seem" - Fall Out Boy

We've all been there: It's a Monday, your bed feels like the best place in the world, maybe your sunburned.... (that's me) The LAST thing you want to do is change out of your comfy clothes and take on the day. But you have to. You have to look presentable in front of people and you can't look like Frankenstein's sister.
So here's what you do:
1. Wear something comfortable. I could sleep in this shirt, it's that comfy.
2. Wear pants. I know I know, pants suck. You'd rather wear leggings or yoga pants. They're great and SO comfortable; however, then you literally look like you walked out of bed and out the door and that's not the look we're going for. We want fresh, put together, yet still lazy. Yah get me? K on to the next one.
3. Go for a clean natural look. Meaning: use a BB cream, a cream blush for a natural glow, a little light colored eye shadow along the bottom line of your eyelid, mascara, then add color to your lips with a natural pink lipstick. Nothing flashy, just a little life to your face.
4. DO YOUR HAIR. Anything, something! Ponytail, braid, half-up half-down, man bun. Throw it up, leave it down, just don't look like a homeless person.
5. Have an accent piece. Sunglasses, a pop of color on your nails, a statement necklace, a hat.. Just a lil somethin' to bring it all together.

Now go look good.
xoxo, Claire

One of my favorite apps/websites/social media things is...(drum roll please) Pinterest. I'll admit now, I'm a pinning addict. Or maybe recovering addict since I use my app less often now. No matter, some of my boards have become full on outfit and hair inspiration. Let's face it, we all get lazy when it comes to getting ready in the morning. You might do your make up but then your hair gets thrown in a pony tail, or you curled your hair to perfection but you didn't plan the cute outfit to go with it. Pinterest is my cure to whenever I have these days I just fall flat on. This is a hair style that can be found on the site everywhere. It's beautiful; however, if you have thick long hair like mine, this style is a bit of a challenge. (It's also not "quick" like Pinterest suggested) Either way, it broke me from my laziness. Thank you again my beloved pinners.

She's a badass singer with a mission in mind. Lorde is an amazing role model for females everywhere. After reading her interview for Elle Magazine my respect for her was insane. Her personality is so unique and original it's almost intimidating but it's also fascinating. She also has an incredible style that ties it all together! I couldn't help but try to replicate it.
