Thank you so much to each of you that continues to send questions my way!

Q&A

1. How do you edit your Instagram photos? I use a preset I created in Lightroom to edit most of my photos, but if I am on the go and quickly editing a pic, I will use the C3 filter in the VSCO app. After applying the C3 filter, I usually increase exposure, decrease the temperature, and increase the pinks slightly. Read this post for an in depth explanation of how I edit all the photos for my blog and Instagram- as well as a round up all the camera gear I use and how I sort through/ store all the photos I take.

2. Stripes or florals- which would you choose? Well, that is a total toss up depending on the day. However, if I had to commit to wearing one of these patterns everyday for the rest of my life, I would go with stripes. There is something so timeless and polished about a pretty striped outfit- whether it’s a striped tee and jeans, striped skirt, or striped dress!

3. Where can I find cute headbands? Shopbop, Nordstrom, and H&M (for budget friendly finds) all have a great selection of headbands. Linking my favorites below.

4. Looking for a new pair of white skinny jeans. Any suggestions? Madewell and J. Brand are usually my go-to for white jeans. Linking a few of my favorite pairs below.

5. Best investment gift under $500- an Hermes scarf or Saint Laurent pouch? Oh wow, that is a tough call and tbh I don’t think you can really go wrong. However, I think I would personally go with the Hermes scarf since I would get more use out of it. I like carrying a larger zippered, continental style wallet, so a card case wouldn’t be super useful for me day to day. Hermes scarves are so timeless and the colorful patterns can brighten and bring almost any outfit to life.
