If you follow me on instagram, you probably saw some photos from a recent trip to Seattle! One of my childhood best friends got married in Orcas Island, so my boyfriend and I spent the day before in Seattle. I hadn’t visited in a couple of years so it was really fun to be back! I had seen Volunteer Park Conservatory in photos before and knew it was a place that we had to see. This place was even better than the photos. It brought me right back to the desert and I seriously could have stayed there all day. I couldn’t resist doing a little photo shoot as well! This was what I wore for walking around and exploring Seattle for the day. It’s been so nice wearing big, cozy sweaters. And there’s nothing like a backpack for when you’re traveling.

Being a college student isn’t always easy, it’s really hard when it comes to budgets and also hard when it comes to spare time. Which is why I am so happy to collaborate with Madison Reed and introduce you guys to their at home color system. Going to the salon can be super expensive and time consuming so it’s so nice to be able to do it myself at home! I’m not going to lie, I was kind of nervous coloring my hair by myself. haha But luckily they have an app that walks you through the entire process. 
I went with a darker and more auburn color for fall. What do you guys think?! I really love how it turned out.  Another thing I really love about Madison Reed is that their very eco-friendly! The box is 100% recyclable and the ingredients are free of amonia and all that other crap! That makes me very happy! (If you’re wondering which color I chose: Catania Brown 5NGM)

Denim really is essential to any wardrobe. It goes with so many things and can be styled countless ways. But one of my favorite ways to style denim is just with a classic button up. I love how simple and minimal it is and overall effortless! I’m honored to be teaming up with Grana to show their new denim collection too. I love the skinny fit and the high waist! It’s perfect for the fall season so I can tuck in long sleeve tops or tees or layer with a chunky sweater.
Make sure and check out Grana’s new denim collection and use code TONYAxGRANA to get 10% off and free shipping! (that includes global shipping too!)

How to Find the Perfect Pair of Vintage Levi’s

I get a lot of compliments and questions about my vintage Levi’s. I’ve acquired quite the collection after lots of hunting and gifts from friends. But finding the perfect pair of vintage Levi’s (the ones we see EVERYWHERE) can be tough! With that being said, I thought I would share some of my tips on how to find the perfect pair of vintage Levi’s of your own!

1. Be patient. First of all, vintage Levi’s fit differently than most jeans made today. Back in the day, they were designed for men so they didn’t think about fitting for women. It takes a lot of trying on many pairs to find the ones that will fit like a glove! So don’t get discouraged if you can’t find them right away.

2. Read the style on the butt tag! 501 is the most popular style. They’re the button fly, classic Levi’s that seem to be the ones that are most sought after. They’re my favorite style too, I recommend the 501s!

3. Buy small and tight fit! After a lot of wear, Levi’s tend to stretch out a lot. Many of mine are pretty baggy now so I definitely recommend getting a pair that is SUPER tight and within a few hours they will start to mold to your body!

4. Be open to tailoring. Find the absolute perfect pair can be tough, so if it fits well in the butt and waist, but they’re too long…don’t be discouraged! Keep in mind that you can take them to a tailor to get the length adjusted or the legs a slimmer fit!

5. CHECK OUT THE MEN’S SECTION AT THE THRIFT STORE. Number one tip right here. I have found majority of my Levi’s in the guys denim section at a local thrift store.

Those are my tips on finding the perfect pair of Levis! I hope it helped! Let me know your thoughts!

Double denim has been a favorite of mine since the early stages of my blog! The canadian tuxedo always reminded me of George Harrison and is such a cool, effortless way to look stylish. I know there are many people though that can easily be intimidated by the thought of wearing denim on denim. So here is a SUPER easy, beginners way to try the double denim look.
First, find a great pair of jeans. This can be skinny, flares, shorts, whatever you like! Then grab your favorite basic white tee to pair with the jeans. Then add the second denim piece, such as a denim jacket! It’s as easy as that! After you have the basics all down, you can really style it anyway you want! Pair the look with sneakers or a statement necklace…whatever shows your personality! For this look I wanted to play on tomboy and feminine so I decided to add these low suede heels.
I hope you guys liked this simple way to try double denim! What are your secrets to denim on denim style?
THANK YOU DAWN FOR THESE PHOTOS, YOU THE BEST!!
