Some inspiration for you all...
I like this one--the hairstyle doesn't look too complicated.
Simple.
Gorgeous, but probably too elaborate for me to handle.
Too flapperish?

Rushing out the door
Hi there! Rachel here, and I thought I'd just give you some quick tips for when you really need to rush out the door but still look nice. We all have those days where we just don't want to get out of bed, and when you finally do you only have like 15 minutes to get ready. So here are my quick tips (if you want pictures of the makeup or outfit or hair or anything just comment :) )
So first, outfit tips:
First, on a day when you are shopping, make sure to look for a T-shirt that will look good with a jean jacket, any jean jacket and get one. I have a few of these, and honestly, they are LIFE savers. So what I like to do for my outfit for quick look nice is
-grab one of those T-shirts
-add a jean jacket for quick style
-maybe a gold necklace or bracelet or something
-if you have time, put in nice earrings
-jeans or jean capri pants, preferably ones that match your jean jacket
-boots; brown or black are best
Second, hair:
I have long hair, so if you have short hair, my apologies cause these tips might be better for long hair :) First, make sure you put your hair in braids or a bun every night so that if something happens in the morning, you don't absolutely HAVE to brush your hair. Braids are usually best.
-Take your hair out of the bun or braid
-If you have time, brush your hair, but you don't have to
-You can let your hair loose, or put your hair in a high ponytail, both ways look good with the outfit
-Add a bandanna, red ones are best, they often look good with jean jackets
Done!
Third, makeup:
I honestly prefer the natural look any day, so I will be giving suggestions for natural looking makeup.
-I always begin with the foundation, so first apply it. I have a powder foundation, which goes on very quickly, but your might take longer. If you are really short on time, you might want to just put foundation on the trouble spots of your face
-If you have time, add blush, but this is definitely not a necessary step
-Eyeshadow, once again, you only want to do this if you have time. I personally LOVE the natural look and I strongly suggest Luminous Lights by Maybelline (by the way, I ADORE Maybelline products, if you haven't tried them you really should). Luminous Lights is natural but it's really nice
-Mascara, and I suggest Great Lash mascara. If you're a swimmer like me, and you need to use waterproof mascara, ABSOLUTELY use Great Lash's, it doesn't smear at all in the water, and it looks almost just like regular mascara
-Lipgloss (if you're in a hurry, a stick can make a mess if you're just trying to apply it quickly). If you're looking for a more natural, I like 'peppermint scented lip gloss' I think I got at Claires, but if you want a more bright reddish kind, I suggest CoverGirl's wetslicks fruit spritzers watermelon.
And that's it! I wear this style a lot, and if any of you want pictures of the makeup, the outfit, the hair, or anything, just comment and I'll make sure to take some :)
