Happy Hump Day! Today I’m bringing you another stylish post with Target! I’m keeping things short and sweet (pun intended!) with one of summer’s hottest steals: Short, shorts. Whether you go bold like this or keep things casual in a knitted pair there are tons of ways and styles to rock this trend. So little, yet so many options.
Tip: Since I’m showing off a lot of leg, I kept it chic up top with a simple button-up for a classy look.

Bedroom Tour
Wakeup! Wakeup! It’s the first of the monnnnthhhh! (Sorry I had to.) Happy Tuesday and Happy July 1st everyone. Today I’m inviting you into my bedroom! #soscandalous I feel like bloggers are always getting asked for bedroom/closet tours – so after spending an entire day organizing my cluttered life, I decided to snap a few pictures and share a peek with you. Enjoy!
{Current fave shoes] I’m all about red +nude shades right now! Of course these red fringe heels are front row and center!
{Walk-in Closet} My favorite section with lots of sparkles, textures and color! One of my closet pet-peeves are white plastic hangers. I’m all out of my black velvet-y ones so I had to make an exception!
{Clothing Rack} I orginally bought this as a decoration piece for my bedroom, but now it’s an essential piece for all my extra clothes! I plan a lot of my outfits for the week/month so it’s nice to have a clothing rack to keep them visibly organized! Can you spot any familiar outfits? 
{Entertainment center made storage} Because I’ve literally ran out of space to store all my stuff, I took the entertainment center I got from Ikea for my living room and made it into a cute storage/display for my room! It has seriously been a lifesaver! It’s also a great backdrop for when I’m shooting my videos. I love the dress-form the most.
{Little White Desk} This is where the blogging magic happens! I found this desk at the Melrose Flea Market when I first moved to LA and got the best deal on it. I love that it’s simple and doesn’t take up a lot of space. I spend a lot of time here working, so it’s nice to have a beautiful view to look at!
{Saz Essentials} I especially love burning candles and inscense while I work! Notice this candle is running out – I go through them so quickly!
{Currently on my Dresser} I just got some new Essie polishes for summer and I can’t wait to try them all out when I get back to LA! I love re-vamping my tray as many of you have seen over the past year. I change it up a lot!
{Clutches and Things}
{Mirror, Mirror on the Wall}
{Stacks on Stacks} I have so many necklaces (these aren’t all of them!) that are practically drowning my necklace display. I think it’s time to re-organize, but aren’t they so pretty to look at? #obsazzed
{Cool Comforter} I recently got this pretty floral bedding from Ralph Lauren. The comforter is so soft and light for those hot summer nights! (I get hot easily) / Shop similar chevron pillow here
Hope you enjoyed my bedroom tour! Let me know what you guys want to see next!

Beat the Summer Heat
- Outfit Details -
Button-up dress: Gina Tricot (old, similar styles here, here + here)
Sandals: Just Fab (n/a, shop similar here + here)
Sunglasses: Vogue Eyewear
Bag: Rovi Moss (shop similar here + here)
Watch: Daniel Wellington
I’m beating the hot Texas heat right now thanks to this little mint button-up tunic that I wore as a dress yesterday. Even though it’s long sleeved the fabric is sheer and light-weight, which keeps me relaxed and cool. I can also say my summer has definitely met its sandals-match. I’m taking these gladiator sandals with me to the Middle-East in a couple weeks because they’re seriously so comfy and stylish at the same time. A nice pair of gladiator sandals are worth investing in because you can wear them all summer long and into the fall season. I especially love how they can instantly accessorize an outfit and make it pop!

5 Tips for Packing Light: Get Out of Town!
In-flight Essentials // What’s inside my carry-on bag
Photo cred: Sophie Elkus
Outfit Details
Bag: Target
Top: LuLu*s (old, shop similar here)
Skinnies: BDG (shop similar here)
Hat: Nordstrom (similar one here)
Sunglasses: Vogue Eyewear
And so the packing process begins. As I prepare for my month long getaway, I’m finding myself not waiting last minute to pack (for once!) and realizing this totally affects the process in a good way. When it comes to shopping for a trip, Target is always my one-stop shop. It’s literally one of those places I go in to buy one thing and end up leaving with a shopping cart full. I recently spotted this summery striped carry-on bag that I actually thought was purse until I opened it and noticed how spacious it expands. I instantly pictured everything inside from my lap-top, snacks and magazines to my in-flight accessories and more. I’m glad I ended up getting it because it’s a colorful way to travel in style. Fun fact: I travel a lot and in the beginning I used to panic and forget things, but now I’ve got a system down. I’ve learned that if you plan all your outfits ahead of time (with a few extra as back-up options) and make a list of things not to forget the day before you leave, you’ll be panic-free and as cool as a cucumber at the airport terminal (unlike my hotmess self).
5 Easy Tips for Packing Light:
1. Don’t wait last minute! (I’m guilty of this)
2. Make a list of what you can’t forget and check it off the items as you pack them away.
3. Roll your clothing (instead of folding!) to make more room in your luggage/carry-on.
4. Plan your outfits ahead of time and write them down so you don’t forget. This prevents you from over-packing.
5. Utilize travel-size containers for shampoo, face wash, lotion etc. This will save you tons of luggage space/weight!
Hope this helped! xx

Enter to Win: XO Styling Iron
Today I’m talking hair! Duh. I decided to create two ways that you can style your hair with the XO Styling Iron created by fellow blogger babe/friend Cara at A Fashion Love Affair. I’ve actually been in need of a new straightener (that also curls!) for a while so I thought why not trade in my crusty flat iron (ha!) and give this one a try.
CURLY
I curled my hair with this iron in probably 5-10 minutes max! It’s a new record! I think the trick is that the iron has a smooth outside texture which makes it super easy to curl through my hair without unwanted creases and having to do a million repeats. Here I used Bumble and Bumble’s magic serum in a bottle which is a heat protector, texturizer and smoother all in one. Seriously it will change your hair life.
STRAIGHT
I love my wavy curls but sometimes I also love a sleek straight look. Since I have a lot o hair I straightened small sections at a time to get that super straight/sleek look. My hair is naturally really curly so I ran my blow dryer through it first with a good round brush and then straightened over it with the flat iron. Total time: 30 minutes.
I noticed my hair felt smoother and looked shinier than before and the same goes for when I curled it. It’s also a plus for me that this iron is super lightweight which will be perfect for my upcoming travels. Which of my two looks do you prefer?
Yep!!! Cara is giving one of you your very own XO Styling Iron! This giveaway is so easy to enter that it’s stupid if you don’t! All you have to do is Follow @CaraJourdan and me @SazBarzani on Twitter and tweet us that you’re entering our giveaway using the hashtag #XOStylingIron. It’s that easy!
