Seana's Must-Haves (Fall)

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while, but I'm back with something new! Since fall is either already here or just around the corner for you, I'm going to do a bit of a roundup of the things that I feel are must-have items for fall.

Let's get started then, shall we?

---------------------

Fashion:

Chunky scarves are definitely one of the accessories that I can't live without during fall. They're just so cozy and warm, and they make a great fashion statement.

Oversize sweaters. Even though they're not always the most form-fitting or things like that, I feel like everyone could use a good oversize sweater to keep them warm and happy this fall. Pair it with some jeans and boots, and voila! Instant fabulous.

Speaking of boots, those are also something that I think fall calls for. They give you a sort of cowgirl-chic look that I think looks good on everyone. And they keep your ankles warm, which is a bonus!

I myself own a leather jacket, and I'm such a huge fan of it. It's perfect for fall, and it makes a statement if you pair it with a plain t-shirt and jeans.

Hair:

Braids are definitely a lovely way to wear your hair in the fall. It keeps your hair under control during windy days, and they're super versatile.

I've always been a fan of the classic messy bun, even though it's not as effortless as it may look. Either way, messy buns are a perfect accessory to your fall outfits. You can polish the messy bun up for a sophisticated touch, or make it messier for casual wear.

Makeup:

I confess, I'm turning into a bit of a makeup junkie. My collection of products has started to expand, and I'm becoming a fan of different trends too that I hadn't seen before. One of those classic trends being the cat-eye, winged eyeliner. It's such a classy look that's been around for a while, and even though it takes a while to perfect, I love it.

For fall especially, if you want to be bolder, pairing a golden colored eyeshadow look and a berry lip color is always gorgeous. I saw this recently on a YouTuber's channel (Zoella is her name if you're curious), and I thought it looked stunning. Definitely a fall look!

------------------

And lastly, just because, I'm going to add apple cider to my list of fall must-haves. Apple cider is a staple of fall, and I never go a fall season without it.

What are you rocking this fall?

That is all.

Cheers,
Seana

Seana's Closet: Summer

The weather is heating up, and summer is halfway over. I love summer as much as the next girl, and I definitely love the outfits I can cook up for this season too.

Without further ado, here are some of my essential clothing and accessory items that I have in my closet for summer.

A Maxi Skirt
Maxi from: Target



















Flowy Shirts
Left shirt from: TJ Maxx
Right shirt from: JCPenny



Statement Necklaces With Pops of Color
Bow necklace from: Either Love Culture or Deb's. It was during a shopping spree I went on at the mall that I picked it up.
Statement necklace from: An outdoor market of some kind. I don't know the name of the both I got it from, sadly.

Floral Patterns
Shirt from: Target


















Bright Colored Shorts and Shirts
Left shirt from: Somewhere in Florida. I wish I could remember where, but it was one of those souvenir shops that are everywhere.
Right shirt from: JCPenny or Kohl's (this shirt is one I got a while ago, so my memory's a little fuzzy on where I got it from)
Blue shorts from: JCPenny

Sandals/Wedges
Black sandals from: Payless
Pink wedges from: TJ Maxx
Colorful gold sandals from: Payless
Brown wedges from: A secondhand store

So there you have it! A little mash-up of some of the clothes I love for summer.

That is all.
Cheers,
Seana

In the Spotlight: Pops of Color

With summer already here, one of my favorite things to do is have a mostly neutral colored outfit, but add in that splash of color that makes it pop. So for today's ItS post, I've gathered some of my favorites. Hopefully it gets your fashion wheels turning!

 

DIY Skirt to Shorts

Hey Cliquers! This is a super fun, easy idea on how to turn an old skirt into one of those pairs of shorts that still make it look like you're wearing a skirt. I have not tried this yet because I don't really have any extra skirts lying around at the moment, but I may just have to go out thrifting for one so I can give it a whirl. It's perfect for summer I think!

Love, July

How to Make a Camera Strap From a Scarf

Hello readers! This spring and summer, I'm sure you'll all want to find your place in the photography fad like every other teenage girl in this lovely planet called earth. I highly recommend trying your eye for capturing the best snapshots of nature, people, or whatever else makes your heart beat. When you go out for your shoots, do it in style with this camera strap from a scarf. Here's how you can make your own!

-July

Supplies: scarf, 2 split rings, 2 chain closures, scissors, sewing machine OR needle/thread, scrap of leather, pen

Step 1: Draw your shape on the leather with a pen making sure the smallest point at the fold fits through the split ring. You'll be folding it over, so mirror one side to the other and trace it. 

Step 2: Cut the leather on the folded line.

Step 3: Repeat to create two of these leather pieces.

Step 4: Connect the chain closure to the split ring.

Step 5: Slide the ring to the middle section of the leather.
Step 6: Fold the end of the scarf in an accordion fold, small enough so that it fits into the leather.
Step 7: Stick the leather to the scarf in place.
Step 8: With your sewing machine, stitch around the edge of the leather (as indicated in the picture)
Make sure you have a special needle that works for leather. Otherwise, hand stitch it.

Hand Knit Your Own Infinity Scarf (No knitting skills required!)

I have wanted to try this for a while now because scarves are so warm and perfect for the winter. I know this is a little late in season, but you can still make these for gifts or save them until next winter!

In the Spotlight: Dresses

Hello, lovelies!

Even though it's the middle of winter, I'm so ready for spring and summer to come, especially because in those months I can break out the skirts and dresses without having to layer on three pairs of leggings so I don't freeze.

Today's ItS post features some dresses that would be perfect for spring/summer, and a few that would probably work for colder weather too. Something I really love about dresses is that you can change the look of a dress with a few simple accessories. So if one day you want to go for an elegant look you can, but with the same dress you can also go for more of a casual look, which I love.

And also, I have a question. For future ItS posts, would you like me to feature not only fashion and hair, but make-up too? I'm no professional make-up artist, but if you'd like me to do a spotlight on make-up trends, I'd be happy to! What do you think?

And now, on to the dresses!

In The Spotlight: Winter Clothes

Hello again! Winter is cold as always here, and staying warm is essential. As much as I love a good comfy sweatshirt, sometimes I feel like changing it up a little with some other kind of wintery clothes. I've gathered up some of the cutest winter outfits I've found.
