ALL "HALE" LUCY

Lucy Hale has always been my favorite prettiest little liar, on the show and off.  I didn't realize I could love her style more until she chopped off her hair this last year or so and has been unstoppable ever since!

Her short do looks great in any shade.

 Her haircut is also perfect for summer!  What do you think?  Anyone else have a little style envy?

SHAPE UP WITH LILY COLLINS

I was excited to see Lily Collins on the cover of my Shape magazine that arrived the other day.  I haven't had a magazine subscription for a few years and when I saw a special for a year's subscription of Shape for $3 I had to get it!  Now to make sure I take some me time to sit down and read it!

One of my favorite ways to sit down and read a magazine is with a good cup if tea, like the one shown in the picture above.  It's a Bavarian chocolate creme and it's as delicious as it sounds!  We recently went on a family vacation to the Cape Cod area in Massachusetts and we came across this cute little tea house called the Dunbar House.  Although, I didn't have time to sit down for a fancy cup of tea and scones, I was able to take some loose leaf tea home with me, and I'm sure glad I did!

I also purchased Earl Grey Vanilla creme and Winter While Earl Grey.  I love a good cup of Earl Grey so I was happy to see some variations of it to try out!

Do you have any favorite teas or have a favorite way to read a magazine?  Coffee makes me happy too! I also enjoy reading by a pool but now my days are spent swimming with the kids rather than relaxing and working on a tan! Haha

LILY COLLINS: JULY'S STYLE ICON

Lily Collins never disappoints. 

Whether it's a casual outfit to run errands or a more glamorous look on the red carpet, Lily is someone who always looks fantastic! 

She's been one of my style icons for a while now.  Take a look below at some more recent looks from the past few months and let me know what you think.

Curly or Straight

US Weekly magazine online, had an interesting post the other day that you could vote on.  It was about certain celebs and whether you preferred them with curly or straight hair.  Some celebs can pull off both looks, while others do look better one way or the other.  

Take a look:

Taylor Swift:

AnnaLynne McCord

 

Vanessa Hudgens

 

Jessica Szohr

Amanda Seyfried

 Audrina Patridge 

 

Zoe Saldana

Jennifer Hudson

Emma Stone

Whitney Port

What do you think?  Do you prefer curly or straight hair on some of these celebs?  Which girls do you think can rock both looks??

And how about for yourself?  Do you prefer to style your hair curly or straight??

I usually have more hair straight, but if I have more time that day to mess around with my hair, I will add some curls!
