Black & White

Top: Madewell, Shorts: J. Crew, Shoes: J. Crew, Necklace: Kendra Scott, Crossbody: Kate Spade (old, similar here)

Okay, I know that I start off almost all my blog posts the same by talking about how obsessed I am with an item but today I really cannot express how in love I am with this top! This shirt is such a perfect transition piece and I will be wearing it straight into fall with black jeans and booties. I love the slits on the side. It gives it a little bit of edge and is adorably unexpected. The material is really lightweight and breezy. I even wore it to work again today with a pair of white pants and just put a black tank underneath to make work appropriate. It is a little pricey, but I think it's worth every penny. Madwell never fails to impress!

I also have to talk a little bit about my hair. I have been really REALLY impressed with the color job this time around. I always have major issues with my color fading almost immediately after the first wash but I haven't noticed any change so far. I am just loving the color and love how healthy my hair looks. My stylist mentioned that the ammonia in the hair dye makes the hair feel a lot softer and healthier. He also used Moroccan Oil Heat Styling Protection in it the day he did my hair and I purchased some while there because I loved the smell. I feel like continuing to use that is also keeping my hair looking a lot healthier. Just thought I would share if any of you experience the same hair troubles I have after getting it colored.

Also, to curl my hair I used the Nume 25 MM Classic Wand. I LOVE this curling iron. I have really thick hair so it takes a really good curling wand for my hair to hold a curl. These curls last 2-3 days and you don't even need to touch them up. Definitely check it out if you're in the market for a new one!
