OOTD & First Thoughts on Bumble and Bumble "Texture"

Happy Friday everyone! BIG THANKS to all of the ladies who gave their advice on home staging in my previous post---I appreciate the input and I'm gearing up for a long weekend of cleaning and organizing!

For casual Friday today, I wore my Gap skinnies and my white peasant top that many of you loved when I first posted an outfit with it. I'm starting to love this top more and more each time I wear it.

Speaking of skinny jeans, I am loving Kate Middleton's J. Brand navy blue skinnies she's been wearing on her and Will's Canadian tour. I think I may need to get myself a pair (or something similar). All I have are my black ones and navy is so versatile! They are the

and here's today's outfit:

Top- A'Gaci
Jeans- Gap "Always Skinny"
Sandals- Steve Madden

I also wanted to share in this post my first thoughts on Bumble and Bumble's "texture" product that I blogged about the other day:

As I mentioned, the product is meant to be used on wet hair and then either air-dried or dried with a diffuser. Because I'm such a beauty rebel (haha) I decided to use it just from the nape of my neck down to my ends and do a full blowout with Velcro rollers.

I had read online that the product has a lot of "grip" and "style memory" so I wanted to test it out and I must say, I was impressed with the shape my layers had and it seemed to me as though my hair was more "flippy" than usual.

Let's see if you agree:

My next test will be to attempt to use it and air-dry my hair. The very thought of it traumatizes me because I don't have a hair type that I can air dry and it will still look good---but I want to try out the product as it's intended to be used. My plan is to wash my hair at night and apply the product in my hair and then sleep on it and blow-dry out any existing moisture in the morning---then I'll maybe add some curls with a curling iron and see how the product makes my hair take on shape. More on that to come...

Hope everyone has a great weekend---if I'm not posting, it's because I'm cleaning...like crazy.

A Poll for My Readers: Staging Your Home

My H and I are planning on spending this entire weekend cleaning and staging our home because we have a photographer coming in on Tuesday to take photographs for our listing.

I'm wondering what you ladies think. If you were buying a home, would you want:

A) The home to be staged and very minimalistic----no personal touches, very minimal decor

B) The home to have deorative elements that are tasteful and enchance the look of the home, as long as the home is otherwise clean and clutter-free

C) Leave the home as-is, clutter doesn't matter to me because I imagine my own stuff in it anyway

When I look at a home listing's photos, the first thing I notice is the decor---and if the home is clean, well organized and nicely put together (even if the decor is not necessaily my style) I tend to like that most. I'm more attracted to a home when it's nicely decorated but I also appreciate an empty home (which is not an option for us).

What do you ladies think? Let me know in the comments below! and OF COURSE I plan to post pictures of how everything turned out with our staging :)

xoxo,

Veronika.
