6 things NOT to do while you shop!

  Now you don't want to feel down on yourself before you try on clothes, now do you?
 Here are tips to keep you from  being a downer in the dressing room.

1. Don't drink pop!
  Pop makes you bloat, which is bad for when you try on clothes, well duh because it doesn't fit you right!

2. No carbs, or fatty junk food!
 It lowers your self esteem and totally makes you just feel icky.

3. Exercise!
 When you exercise you feel amazing, I'll give you that, but it totally washes you out, now this applies to make-up a little more, but it makes you feel bad about yourself, and once again it lowers your self esteem.

Now here are some tips of what not to do in the dressing room:

1. Evaluate yourself.
 Look, I know it's hard when you are standing in front of that big giant mirror and you feel like you are too big, too tall, too short, too thin, too this, too that, and on and on. But it's horrible to grab your stomach, and be like " I want to loose this." it's bad for you! DON'T DO IT! Especially don't compare yourself to all those skinny, gorgeous girls. Don't even think about it.

2.  Nope.
 Just don't pick clothes and say "I'll look fat in this." That is a major put down to yourself. \

3. Be optomistic!
  If say, red, isn't the best color on you, try it on anyways. Don't expect it to look bad! Try new things, it might work.

Clothes that flatter every body!

If you need to fix somethings about your self you don't like, here are some easy ways to do that with clothes!

 Slim Curves: Use a black flouncy dress with an pleated skirt that comes in at the waist, it's very flattering and shows your smallest parts. Add a cropped jean jack you can wear with anything, it really is an investment.

 Look Taller: Look for all in one dresses, it raises your waist-line which makes it look like you have "spidery long legs".

Try this: Embellished Shimmer Dress $29.00 at Charlotte Russe stores


Create an Hourglass: Get a dress with a v-neck the shows off the bust with a front cinches at your waist, therefore creating an hourglass figure.

Try this: Satin Flower Print Kimono at Forever 21$22.80


Streamline hips: Extra volume ( bigger tops) on top balances you out to make your hips appear bigger!

 Try this: Pierce Banded Mini Skirt- Wet Seal

  

How to look cute for a sleepover!

So you hate looking like you have on a full face of make-up on, or looking washed out, at group slumber parties, right? You don't know the perfect medium! So here is exactly what you should do to look cute, and not over-done, at slumber parties!

1: HAIR-

   Flip your head over and put it all up in a high ponytail which is adorable, and comfy!

2: SOME makeup-

  Apply some blush onto your high cheekbones and if you have an oval face, swipe it up, across from your eye. NEVER EVER EVER put it in just a circle, you'll look like a clown, sorry I know, strong, but I'm saving you from some embarrassment.

2: Lips- Apply some light chapstick to keep your lips looking fresh and plump!

3:Clothing- Put on your adorable pj's!

4: Shoes- Throw on adorable comfy flip flops,

AND ENJOY THE PARTY!

Back on track!

Hey Blogger Babes, so sorry I have been super busy lately, ya know, school. But I have just had an inspiration, I was flipping through the newest issue of Seventeen, when I saw a few pages JUST about shoes! Heaven, I know right?! I saw theses totally adorable Oxford flats! They are totally cute, and a new fad, huge celebs like Taylor Swift, Whitney Port, are wearing them!  Need I really say more? These super stylish shoes go with more neutral colors, if they're brown, match 'em with something blue, or green and tan, like Ms.Swift! Loose and comfy clothes ARE an option with these shoes at your side. I don't normally recommend non fitted clothing, but now it's acceptable.

 Some designers have gone to extremes with these bad boys by sparkling them up, so they are "Lady Gaga" approved, and adding a heal.  These baby's are a little harder to find, so let me give you some great websites.

•   piperlime.com
•   bassshoes.com
•   gbyguess.com

If you aren't comfortable shopping online, then go to any Nine West stores, they're gonna have some cuties! I am sorry chica's but these baby's don't come cheap, the price range is $30- $200, the cute ones, and affordable are around $60. So go get those Oxford's!

Winter boots, of all kinds.

Ok girlies, I know it's getting chilly out there so head out to the mall with your head held high. Some boots are super expensive, here are 3 tips to keep your budget and your feet, happy!
  
              Tip 1: DON'T go for Uggs!
                         I know they are "in" but what isn't in is the price! They are priced from $90 to up to $300! And when you put your foot into it, is has a hard bottom, now here are some boots that are comfy and will keep your feet warm. The Minnetonka brand, is amazing. I had some boots from there and they are amazing, I wore them out! Another brand I recommend is Bear Paw boots, they are so comfortable, and you can get them at places like DSW, Famous Footwear, Foot Locker, Scheels, and many other retail stores. See it's already easier.

       Tip 2: Don't go too cheap!
                     I know I said cheap is better, but if you buy too cheap your boots may be ruined the FIRST time you step into the snow. Then you have to go off and buy another pair of boots. Make sure the sides aren't too thin, and they aren't ripping you off by having a little amount of warm fuzz on the inside.

    Tip 3: Don't over wear your boots.
                Look, I am giving it to you straight. If you love a pair of boots so much you decide "HEY this year, I can save some money and not get new boots and just wear the same ones I did last year!" mom will be all for it. But even though you might think it's a good idea, it isn't, because if you wear out your boots one cold winter day, and you have melting snow in your shoe, it isn't fun! It is freezing and uncomfortable (I speak from experience). Then you may come home with a cold! So for the good of you, buy some new boots.
                                      
                                        Here is a checklist of things your winter boots should have.
                                                  * Enough warm fuzz
                                                  * Thick sides
                                                  * Thick sole
                                                  * Size should be 4 inches from ankle or more
                                                  * and love :)
                        



                    

Make fall better!!!

Invest in some comfy mocs

Whether you’re strolling down the halls or scuffing around the house, fuzzy mocs are one way to stay warm when the temps start dipping down. Pop on jeans and a plaid shirt for the ultimate kick-back getup.

Rock major socks (or legwarmers)

Boy-ish stompers are so this minute. Soften ’em up with slouchy legwarmers or awesome socks and you’ve got a look that’s oh-so-autumnal. Rock them with a dark floral dress or your fave shorts and a flirty top. Cute!

Questions!

So if you have a fashion question for me leave me a comment on my most recent post. I will answer as quickly as possible. Make sure to check back and see if your question has been answered!!

Things I own :)

Ok so I am going to show you things I got for school, that were cheap and fab!!  Two pairs of these jeans for $9.50!! I know it's amazing. This I only date nerds shirt,  my mom says it's not a sweatshirt, I disagree. A sweatshirt is a warm, long sleeve jacket/coat. THIS IS A SWEATSHIRT MOM! I also have a Book Nerd tee shirt, SUPER CUTE!  it goes amazingly with this blue pin stripe jacket, short crop long sleeves = SOPHISTICATEDLY ADORABLE!! N e ways I could not find it on the website so I will just have to describe it to you. Now at Express I got this sweater, it is VERY versatile*, now you always want to get something versatile because you can mix it up with other things too! Ok so this Waffle-Stitch Flyaway cardigan, , and I also got this dream weight ruffled neck tee, I got the purple and the green, those are my colors because I am brunette with hazel eyes. This is it! But ya know different colors. Ok so you now have had a look into my closet, now go add some good, cute things to yours! <3 FASHIONISTA!


 *versatile, that was the word today. When i put a * that means to look at the bottom for the meaning of it. Versatile means it goes with a lot of things and it is a neutral color. Such as gray!

Cheap!

I guess now a days it is hard finding good, cheap clothes. Well Forever 21 has super cheap stuff. Jeans are $9.50! The secret to finding cheap deals in NOT looking in the expensive stores like Aeropostle and Ambrecrombie! Seriously, you really become addicted. Don't do it! NO! Those are boring, no color, expensive, clothes. Don't do that do color or patterns, mix it up! Just walk away from those stores, give your wallet a boost, or your rent's. SHOP CHEAP!! :) :)

Shoppers Honor Outfit

Ok this outfit is approved by me because I bought this outfit for $25.00! Isn't that amazing? This is my favorite outfit, it is best for brunette's and hazel eyed girls. Ok so for the jeans I got these Fab Skinny Jeans for $9.50! But now they are on sale and they are onlye $7.50! They fit so perfectly, pair it with an olive cami, that I got for $2.80. Sadly, I can not find it on the website but I am positive they have it in the stores. Then the top, the most gorgeous shirt, ever! It is a Tier Front Floral Top, on the website they don't have the pink, brown and orange one I have they just have this one, this is such a cute shirt, I love it!
