Hey guys! I am excited to finally launch my course for how to grow your Instagram! It’s a 60 page e-book that gives you all the ins and outs on how to build your Instagram, with the tips and secrets that took me from 100k  to half a million followers in just over a year, and now to over 1 million followers. I share my notes from my meeting with Instagram and Facebook, talk all things algorithm, getting the perfect scroll-stopping shot, how to set up props for pictures, and my favorite Instagram tools. We launched it on sale so it’s only $29.99 for a limited time!

This is a great beginners course to give you a strong foundation for growing your brand! I’m already working on a second, more advanced course sharing how to build a media kit, tips for working with brands, understanding your stats, and more, but this first course is an essential to getting started!

Can’t wait to hear what you guys think!

XX, Christine

DETAILS: USA TEE | DISTRESSED DENIM | WHITE CONVERSE | SUNGLASSES | SILVER WATCH

BECKAM: FIRE CRACKER TEE

With the 4th of July less than a week away, we’ve been living in our reds, whites, and blues! Honestly that color combo just reminds me of summer so we wear our stars and stripes all season. We just added our new USA Ringer tee to Shop Hello Fashion (previously ILY Couture) and I love the retro vibe of it! We also added this Firecracker kids tee – is it the perfect description for any one else’s kids? 😂 B has so much personality!

DETAILS: STARS & STRIPES TEE | DENIM SHORTS | OFF THE SHOULDER STAR SWEATSHIRT | AVIATORS | WHITE SNEAKERS

CODY: RED BASEBALL TEE

DETAILS: USA TEE | STARS & STRIPES HOODIE | DISTRESSED JEANS | SNEAKERS | AVIATORS

DETAILS: AMERICA BASEBALL TEE | DENIM | AVIATORS

We also brought back some of our best sellers this season – the Stars & Stripes tee is one of my favorites and love our off-the-shoulder star sweatshirt (hoodie version here) as an extra layer when the sun sets and the fireworks start. Also love our USA Varsity tee for a more subtle feel, or you can fully embrace the festive feels this summer with our America baseball tee. You can shop our full 4th of July collection here. What are your favorite pieces?

Swimsuits – the one piece you will find an excuse to wear any time of year! I am always finding cute swimsuits year-round – they are the best inspiration to plan your next beach getaway! As much as I love bold and bright swimwear, you can never have enough neutral options. They are a quick grab, easy to wear, and super versatile since they work with anything and everything. They can also do double duty and act as a flirty crop top under a button down or as a bodysuit when you are traveling. Below are a few more of my favorite neutral swimsuits of the moment!

RUFFLED LACE SWIMSUIT

Move over Little White Dress – this white lacy number will have you feeling flirty and feminine. Love the plunge neck with the ruffle detail to keep it from reading too sweet. 

KNOTTED HATLER SWIMSUITS

A classic halter with an updated twist, this dusty rose swimsuit has that statement effect in the prettiest shade that will make any tan look 10x better.

TORTOISE BANDEAU BIKINI

There’s something so simple but elegant about a bandeau, and the tortoise loops on this one are an instant upgrade!

KNOTTED BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS

The simple bikini silhouettes that were so big in the 80s and 90s are back in full force, but as fresh as ever with modern details. Can’t get over the knotted detail on this bikini!

RUFFLED ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT

There’s nothing like a ruffled, flutter sleeve detail to turn simple into a statement. This white one piece is equal parts flirty and feminine – just begging to see a beach!

POLKA DOT ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT (UNDER $100)

Prints and patterns can act as neutrals too. Spend the day spotted under the sun in this fun polka dot suit – even better, it’s on sale under $100!

ONE SHOULDER BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS

Obsessed with this crisp woven off the shoulder. Neutrals can stand out too – just look for pieces with embellishment. How pretty is the embroidery on this set?

NUDE ONE PIECE WITH MESH DETAIL

Nothing says 2018 like a nude swimsuit (thank you Kardashians!). I love the mesh stripe cut-outs that give this one an athletic vibe – just throw on your favorite sporty slides and you are ready for an active day in the sun!

Which one is your favorite?

Hey guys! I get asked a lot about my favorite ways to wear my hair so I wanted to share not only my personal favorite hairstyles – but my most pinned hairstyles too that I’ve worn in the past. When it comes to doing my hair I feel like there are a few underlying common things that are a must have for a good hair day, VOLUME and TEXTURE!! See them all below and let me know your favorites!

A little bit more of an intense hairdo, but perfect if you are going to an event or a night out or just want your hair to look bomb! Bubble Pony Tutorial HERE.

The trick to these french braids is pulling and separating apart the sections of the braid afterwards to give a more full effect!

Low messy bun for the win.

Without a doubt my favorite way to wear my hair. 99.9% of the time my hair is in a messy bun! Tutorial HERE.

Everyday Curls! Tutorial HERE.

What’s your favorite way to style your hair?!

WATCH You guys know how much I love sunsets, and the colors in Portugal did not disappoint!

Also been living in these jeans! Below are a few more great travel pieces I’m loving:

DETAILS: 1. DENIM JACKET (UNDER $50 RIGHT NOW) | 2. BLACK TANK (SIMILAR HERE) | 3. LEGGINGS | 4. PLATFORM SNEAKERS | 5. READERS | 6. TAN BAG | 7. SUITCASE

My travel look from this past weekend when we headed off to Portugal! This is our first time going there and we’ve been so excited! No matter what I always have to keep it comfy when traveling, and these leggings are to diiie for. You’ve probably seen me talk about them multiple times now, but for good reason! They are seamless around the ankles which makes them so comfy without feeling restricting at all like some leggings do. I always try to dress in layers too, since you never know if you’re going to get cold or hot throughout the flight and when you land. I actually found this denim jacket in the mens section and I love it! Welll it’s actually Cody’s I picked out for him but I steal it all the time 😉 Am I the only one that finds hidden gems in the mens section all the time?! Last but not least, these platform sneakers are my latest obsession. I love the sleek and sporty look they have and the pop of color they add to your outfit! Super easy to get on and off at the airport too for security or just getting comfy in your seat.
