Friday Finds: Dresses, Heels & Sale Faves

Hi friends! Did you have a good week? I felt really productive this week, which is great! We've got a busy weekend ahead with a few church + marriage events, but they should be fun :) Here are some sale finds for you this week:

1. This is the perfect maxi for spring and summer. I love the black, because you can wear it to anything and pair it easily with a jean jacket, but it also comes in other colors and a pattern, too! It's also 25% off right now. PS. love the styling with the turquoise jewelry in the pic:


2. HOW CUTE IS THIS DRESS?! It had me at stripes & lace & pockets! It's a casual fabric, perfect to wear with sandals or sneakers. Also comes in a plain gray look. It's 40% off!




3. These sandals caught my eye. I have a pair of heels from Hinge and they are so comfortable, so I really trust this brand. The block heel is really on-trend and will help it be more comfy. You could wear these with skinny jeans or a casual dress.


4. Anthropologie is having a 25% off jeans sale. My favorite brand is AG...they are an investment, but SO worth it, as I've had a few pairs from them for YEARS.

5. LOFT: 40% off everything! Code: OHGOODIE
Some favorites: Lots of adorable tops and I'm obsessed with that off the shoulder dress:




5. Nordstrom: here are some of my favorite sale finds. So many fun pieces right now!! This purse is amazing. 




6. Just a peek at some gift ideas for Mother's Day that I found while putting together my gift guide post for next week:





That's all for this week! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Hair Tutorial: The Perfect Curls, Half Up & Fancy Ponytail

Hi friends! Back in January I gave my readers a survey and asked for post topics you were all interested in reading about. I used to do some hair tutorials when I was in college, so I did get a few requests for more of those. Lucky for me, one of my best friends, Chelsea, is a hair stylist (she does my hair here in Michigan! If you're looking for a stylist in West Michigan, let me know and I'll give you her info!), so she was kind enough to come up with a few styles to show you all. Not only was she a bridesmaid in our wedding, but she also did all my other bridesmaids' hair for our big day! You can see them here. My other sweet friend Rachel took all our photos for us.

Anyways, we're doing two styles today + showing you a new way to curl your hair!

CURLS:

1. Section off hair into layers. If you need to spruce up your hair on the second or third day without washing it, I love this Amika dry shampoo.

2. Curl a small section, starting at the mid-to-root area of your hair. Don't start from bottom and roll the iron all the way up.



3. Tip for texture waves: when releasing the curl, twist the hair around the rod. Watch the video to see what we mean...
