The Lauren Conrad Bun

I love buns. My affinity toward them started when I began taking ballet lessons as a pre-schooler and I have worn them ever since, until I met Jorge, my husband. When Jorge and I first started dating up until now, I have repeatedly heard him say that he hates buns. His remarks made me not want to wear them anymore. Why wear a bun if my husband thinks they are ugly?

Lately, I have seen girls sporting buns at the mall, in the grocery store and even on television (Kim Kardashian). I cannot get away from them, so I finally hit a breaking point. I was looking on Lauren Conrad's website and I saw her wearing her signature bun. I told myself, "You have got to go back to wearing buns again, Jorge will love you either way."

Re-united and it feels so good...

Top your bun off with a headband for a polished look!

That very day, I put my hair up in a bun! And guess what? Jorge loved it. I was so furious, I told him, "Why did you say that you didn't like buns then?" Jorge responded, "Well, I don't like other buns, but I like this style." All I kept thinking was "Aye, I should have never listened to him about hair stuff after the last fiasco he got me into." (He took me to his barber to dye my hair and it ended up burned!...but that is another story for a later time. I'm not quite over it yet.)

Being Latina is complicated when your husband has no clue about hair.

4 Cost Effective Summer Date Ideas

Dates are essential to happy/healthy relationships, so Jorge and I go on 2-3 dates a week. In order to go out this many times, him and I know that not all dates have to be pricey. If you are looking for some date suggestions that won't break the bank, click the link above.

Being Latina is less complicated when you can go on dates without worrying about funding.

Study Chic

Now that Jorge and I are studying for the LSAT, our lifestyle is different. Waking up at 7:00AM to begin looking at the LSAT's logical reasoning section is not exactly what I would call a good time. Maybe as I practice more, I will consider the LSAT sexy? Until then, I am just trying not to fry my brain.

Although Starbucks has become my new hang out spot, it does not mean that I have to look like a bum.   Yes, I am a nerd, but I still love fashion. So with this being said, I have made a pact with myself. I will not allow myself to creep into hobo mode, as I delve deeper and deeper into the LSAT.

Stretchy, long, flowing skirts are perfect for the woman in study mode. You do not have to worry about crossing your legs as you simultaneously drink your tea latte and read.

Today, I tried my new nude colored maxi skirt and I fell in love. Paired with a black ruffled tank top and a floral headband, my maxi skirt looked comfortable and classy.

It took a lot to hunt down this skirt, so I am glad that I liked it! When I first started looking for a maxi skirt, they were $50 at H&M, $30 at Forever 21 and $20 at Target. Being the savvy shopper that I am, I found this one for $12.99 at a no-name off brand store in the mall. So if you are looking for Maxi skirts, be a wise shopper and look around before you spend over $20 dollars.

Being a chic Latina is complicated when the LSAT is forcing you to become a recluse.

Nobody Wants to Have to Visit the Mechanic!

Car shaking is a definite sign that your wallet is going to get hit hard. Jorge and I experienced this when we placed our car key in the ignition and immediately felt like we were on the Indiana Jone's ride at Disneyland. I quickly called my dad and asked him what we should do. My dad nonchalantly said that we probably just need an air filter change so drive home and go to the mechanic the following day. Well, that little drive home just cost us 860 big ones.

Apparently, whenever your car shakes, do not drive it! Otherwise, you may break your catalystic converter. What the heck is a catalystic converter? I don't really know still. What I do know is that you need it to work so that your car can pass a smog test. And with our luck, we have to get our car smog tested this week (in order to register our car in California before my Arizona plates expire). (Sad face)

After all this is said and done, I do not want to see the mechanic or DMV for a really long time.

Being Latina is complicated when your broke as it is and your car is sickly. 

I just want my car to be happy again.
