Trend Alert:

Provenience 

 Provenience is all about mixing natural organic fabrics with organic shapes and cuts to create an overall look thats slightly unfinished and has a very earthy vibe. 

 The trend often includes a lot of denim fabrics because the unfinished, sort of rugged look the fabric can produce, greatly contributes to the natural feeling of the trend. (jeans from Topshop)

 The blouse in this photo is made of cotton and you can tell by the loose, easy cut of the top that they are going for the more laid back look, AKA provenience. 

By incorporating natural materials such as rope into the outfit you are really creating an authentic provenience style. You could use the rope as a belt or as a bracelet, just be creative and really embrace the trend. 

The leather boots included in this look really top off the provenance trend. It adds polish yet keeps the natural feel by being leather. Its a great thing to include to keep your style on trend but still wearable. 

Thanks for reading my blog! xoxo Sequins

Color of the Month: Indigo 

 Indigo has been trending for some time now. The deep navy/oceany blue is a fresh way to mix up your wardrobe this summer. Think a breezy ocean, almost bohemian vibe this color gives off. It has just a pinch of purple in the mix which keeps it interesting. Don't be afraid to try this door trend! 

Hair products I'm Loving Right Now

Hair Products I'm Loving Right Now:

Detox dry shampoo

This dry shampoo is amazing. When you skip a day of showering and need to get rid of oily hair this product will do the trick. Just spray on the roots and wherever your hair is oily and wait a few minutes before brushing the excess out. A definite necessity in your collection of hair products. 

Redken dandruff control shampoo

This shampoo is great for treating dandruff. It helps eliminate itchy scalp and dry white flakes. You only want to use it a couple times a week though because it can dry out your hair (might want to pair with a moisturizing conditioner for that reason). After lathering it onto hair let it sit for a couple of minutes before rinsing. I highly recommend this shampoo it works!

Herbal Essences long term relationship shampoo/conditioner

I have used these hair products for the longest time now. They smell amazing and are really good if you just want a mild cleanse and you don't really have any specific hair care needs. They help long hair grow and remain healthy but I think they would work just fine on short hair as well. Overall just a really good everyday shampoo for basic cleansing. 

Caviar moisture shampoo

This shampoo is a life savor for those with dry hair. It smells like lemons and gives your hair touchable softness. Its the best. Also if you have dandruff on the days you don't use the Redken dandruff shampoo I would recommend using this moisturizing shampoo because it helps moisturize the scalp which reduces white flakes. Overall, fabulous shampoo it says its anti-ageing but I really don't know how a shampoo could be anti aging, I mean really?

TRESemmé all day hold gel

This hair gel is great for taming curly hair or for taming fly aways. Its a nice gel for keeping together fancy hairstyles etc. 

Living Proof dry hair repair shampoo/conditioner 

These products I have recently tried and they work miracles! The shampoo smells like heaven and it moisturizes hair and scalp. The conditioner is super thick and loaded with moisterzing ingredients that make your dry ends super soft. Its good for those of you who have dry or damaged hair. I totally recommend you try. If you want a sample of the products first just write/email living proof and they would be happy to send you some free samples!

I hope you try out some of these products they really do work I've tried them all!

The Socks with Sandals Trend

As you all know the socks with sandals trend is making a comeback. Just take a look at these pics I found in the most recent Nordstrom catalog.

I personally am not a fan of the oxford sandal. Its the kind of shoes old people wear and should not be considered the "it shoe" of the season. I would save your money, this trend is going to blow over fast. 

This image displays the more traditional socks with sandals look but they tried to make it look more chic. I don't hate this look as much as the Oxford sandals but I still would not recommend getting sucked in to wearing this shoe. You know what they say don't give into the peer pressure to wear socks with sandals! Just don't do it!

First of all stilettos were designed to make your feet and legs look good. What favors are you doing yourself by covering up and with such ugly socks! I frown upon this fashion decision. Listen to me and keep is classic and elegant when it comes to style. You can never go wrong with simple and sexy. Stay true to your style  and don't give into these silly fashion trends. xoxo Sequins
