Styling Tip #1: A draped jacket

While maybe not always so practical, I love a jacket draped over my shoulders. From WWII era of wearing a gentleman's coat to stay warm, or the "high schoolers" from Rydell High in Grease (no way those actors looked like teens!), it has stood the test of time. I find it to be a graceful and unique way to add a twist to your outfit without having to add any new items to your wardrobe.

**Warning: This may not be the perfect look if you plan to use your arms above your shoulders, you WILL keep losing the jacket :/ Recommended for coffee dates or a movie night

Styling tip #2: Hair Ribbon

I've been getting super crafty with my white ribbon lately. It was actually just part of the wrapping of a Tiffany & Co gift I received as a graduation gift (a gorgeous pen :D) but I have been incorporating it into a number of hairstyle to add a little pizzazz *insert jazz hands emoji*

For this look I used a clear rubber holder to secure half my hair, pulled a few pieces out from the front, and then just tied up the ribbon for a droopy bow. I have also been tying it up as a headband or in a big bun.

Would you guys be interested in seeing a hair ribbon tutorial on a few of my favorite hairstyles and their how-tos? Let me know below, and don't be afraid to share some of your own styling tips as well!
