Fashion no no's

I would like to take a moment to write about some of the fashion things I have seen over the past few years and recently too and to write about it. These are just my opinion and I mean not to offend no one but this is just what I think people should or should no do.

1.Boots with shorts. Im not sure who started this one, maybe someone just had shorts on and the only shoes they could find were boots to wear but this does not make it okay to wear to school. Any other shoes but boots would be better with shorts. Especially if they are furry boots that makes it worse. Please consider this next time when leaving the house.

2. Socks with sandals. This will also never become a thing. I know people like to wear socks with athletic shoes which I don't like but I am fine with but I am talking the sandals with all the straps and then people put the ugly socks with them. No matter what age or gender you are it is best to wear them without socks.

3. Brown and black. Unless it comes in a shirt together they should be worn at the same time. There are rare occasions that I have seen this pulled off. It is best to not even try to wear because it usually ends up look pretty bad. 

4.Jeans with a jean jacket. Note that this is also one of those things that can work for some people. Most people though this is something you shouldn't do.  Especially if the jeans and the jacket are the same color. At least make sure they are different shades.

5. Pajama pants as pants. We all know you are tired in the morning but this does not mean that you can just stay in your pants. Just because you can wear them to school doesn't mean you should. There is no job that I can think of where you can wear pajama pants to work.
6. Same color everything. This doesn't happen to often but I have seen it done. Matching clothes does not mean you can wear all the same color. Even if they are the same shade of purple, you shouldn't wear the purple pants with a purple shirt. This leads me into my next one.
7. Matching sweatsuits. The all the same color with the matching logo is not a thing. Just because they sell the pants and the sweatshirt as an option it isn't to wear it together. You should buy one or the other but not both. If you want to buy both make sure not to wear them at the same time!
8.Tennis shoes with skinny jeans. Ahh this is one of my personal favorites and very common to see. The skin tight jeans and then the big clunky tennis shoe. It really gets to me especially when they wear a nice fancy shirt to go with it. Don't get me wrong it bad with a T-shirt too but the nice top is worse.
I hope you all didn't get to annoyed with my fashion opinions and maybe can agree with some of them too!

Homecoming Madness

Around homecoming time shopping for dresses is the most stressful thing for girls. Shopping for a homecoming dress can be a very difficult challenge. There is so many things that you are worried about when you are shopping. What if I can't find one I like? Where can I find one? What if someone has the same dress as me?
Going to stores near by is not always a good option. You want to go to somewhere out of town. I know it is  a pain to go somewhere but it is worth going to make sure you aren't wearing the same dress as someone else. Your other option is to order online. I know this can be kinda risky for some because you don't want the dress to come and not fit or have really expensive shipping. I have found the www.promgirl.com is a good and extremely reliable website to shop for dresses on. Just make sure that you read if the dress is on sale you usually can't return it. There are always size measurement you can take to make sure it is the right fit dress for you before ordering. Though shipping can be a hassle if you order it soon enough before it shouldn't be a problem. You do want to make sure though that you don't just look at the dresses on the front pages of popular dresses because someone will have your dress most likely then. There are lots of dresses on the website to choose from so make sure to take time to look at all of them and make sure its a unique one that you think no one would have.
The most common dresses write now are sweetheart neck dress that are sparkly on that part and then flow down. This is a a dress style that a lot of people have in many different colors. I think that they are very pretty but so many people have them that unless you are in love with them I would not recommend getting one.
Some other popular in things this year is dresses with cool backs to them. Commonly all open backs are seen now. Other backs that have lots of straps or cross a lot are also seem more. This adds more to the dress then it just being a boring old normal dress like everyone else. A big statement to make sure to add is your shoes. I say the higher the heels the better. Sparkly heels or colored heels to make a pop to your outfit is always a good idea to make the outfit looks better. Jewelry that matches your dress is really important. Make sure that you have any earrings, rings, bracelets or necklaces you need to wear planned out as well. All the little detail add together to make the outfit great. I hope this helps when looking for your next homecoming dress.

Born to Die

Lana Del Rey is one of my favorite artist to listen to. Her music has so much meaning and passion in it. All the songs have this certain vibe to it that is a little more on the sad side but still so beautiful. Her album Born to Die came out January 27th 2012 and was on iTunes on January 31st. The Album got number one in 2012 and 2013 for Top Digital Albums, Top Rock and Top modern rock/Alternative Albums. It also made it as number two on The Billboard top 200 in 2012.
 The songs on the album are;

1. Born To Die
2. Off To The Races
3. Blue Jeans
4. Video Games
5. Diet Mountain Dew
6. National Anthem
7. Dark Paradise
8. Radio
9. Carmen
10. Million Dollar Man
11. Summertime Sadness
12. This Is What Makes Us Girls

In interviews she says that a lot of her are music is inspired by her life and what has happened in her life. They are from the love and lost in her life. She went to boarding school growing up to get over her alcohol addiction. Then moved back to New York City to start her life over. She feels she has walked her own path her whole life. She started singing in her high school choir and making videos when she was 17. She originally was collecting just vintage clips of places she liked for her music videos. She put it to classical music before she put it to her own music. Then she started putting herself in the videos and putting it to her own music. The fact that her videos were made by herself partially got her a lot of attention.
Her song Young and Beautiful was put into the movie The Great Gatsby. It was used for the main theme of the movie. She worked with Baz Luhrmann to make it go with the scenes in the movie and have the songs emotions and feelings work so well into it. She is very famous now and is well known around the world.

The City of Love

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been would be Paris, France. Know as "The City of Love" I sadly didn't fall in love with someone there but I did fall in love with the city itself. Everything there is so pretty and scenic. The city is self has a totally different feel then here in America. Everything there just makes it seem so welcoming and like home. The food is amazing there too just to make it all the better. If I could live there the rest of my life I would for sure! I would recommend to anyone to at least go visit there once before you die because it is a life time experience!

One of my favorite things about it is the fact that there is so much walking. People walk everywhere in the little towns. If you don't want to walk it is common to ride bikes anywhere you go. If not that the next very common things there is mopeds! People drive these because there is a lot of traffic there on big roads and with these they go between the traffic to get through it all. The way we got around all of Paris and were the most fun of all were Segways! This was one of the most fun things I have ever done. I got to ride one for three hours all around Paris. It is the best way to see the most of Paris in a short amount of time and a good time! I would say this is for sure something you need to do when you go.

One of the most know things in france is the Eiffel Tower. Word can not even describe how breath taking it is to see. It is so beautiful to even look at you don't even need to go up in the tower. People just sit in the grass and have picnics all the time in front of and and just talk and enjoy the beauty of it. People also take boat rides past it and down the river to see all the sights in Paris. We took the night ride which was amazing to see everything lit up.

There is so many amazing things I could write about and all the things to see. I made a video of just some of the pictures I took.

Pinterest

I am sure most of you have heard of Pinterest or maybe even used Pinterest before! It is my absolute favorite social media site at the moment. If you haven't heard of it or haven't used it yet this is a site where you can pin things into a board about your interests. You can pick your own boards such as, style, hair, for the home, crafts, ect. Then you can follow people or look at random peoples pins they have pinned and repin them into your boards that you have made. You can also just like things if you don't wanna pin them. You can even add your own pictures or things off other websites if you want to share them for other pinners to see.
One of my favorite things about it is that I can get great fashion ideas from it. There are so many cute outfits out there being pinned. You cant always buy all that stuff like you want to though because we would all be broke if we did that. I do use it for ideas though! I like to look at them as ideas for what to wear everyday. I base the looks i find on there to decide what to wear! If you really want something that bad also a lot of the pins have links to them that way you can find where its from and can purchase it if you really wanted it
I also find really great things for hair and makeup on there too. I first found out how to do a sock bun from Pinterest which is now my go to hairstyle when I'm having a bad hair day. They have many step and pictures showing you how to do theses things. I find this extremely helpful when trying to learn a new hairstyle. There are so many things out there to do with your hair that I had never even heard about until I had a Pinterest. When it comes to makeup they also have some step by step pictures but usually there is a lot of links going to videos on youtube. I use these all the time to make my makeup look better.
Overall this is just a phew of the reasons why I like Pinterest so much, there are so many great ideas and things to use on there. I have a link on the side if you want to check out my Pinterest.

Good Morning.. Or Bad Morning?

Getting ready in the morning to me is one of the most important part of your day. Yes its true we all have those days where we feel like crap and we have to pull a rolled out of bed and left for school. I used to be this way everyday but now I just feel so much better if I look better. I know that this can be a major challenge, Monday morning and you are trying to drag yourself out of bed and all you want to do is stay in your pajamas. Your hair looks like a hot mess and you don't even want to have to deal with it. If you start off your day with a t-shirt, sweat pants, and bed head hair are you really going to enjoy that day? If you are anything like me you probably wont, so I am here to write a few suggestions on how to help!

Hair is tricky thing for me because I am really bad at doing my hair. Over the years I have gotten a lot better but here are some of my tricks on quick easy hair days.

• The sock bun; I am sure you have all heard of this great new item for when you are having a bad hair day. It is quick and easy and it looks way better then a messy bun any day. If you don't know how to do them you can find them on Pinterest everywhere!
• Don't have time to straighten all your hair? No problem just put it up in a pony tail and just straighten the ponytail and then wrap a chuck of hair (or you can braid the hair too) around the hair tie and bobby pin to make it look better then a boring old ponytail.
• Two words that have saved my hair many days; dry shampoo. It is a girls best friend. If you don't have time to shower and your hair is all greasy use it because it does miracles!
• One of the oldest tricks in the book but shower at night and put it in braids before you go to bed. Take it out in the morning and then naturally curly hair in the morning no heat needed.

For choosing an outfit in the morning here are a few simple things to make the process go a lot easier then it does right now!

• Pick out what you are going to wear the night before! This makes it so much easier then choosing in the morning and you can get ready a lot faster. 
•  Accessorize always with everything! Add a scarf or some big earrings or rings to make the out fit seem better! 
• Make sure to know what the weather is going to be like too because that always helps to know how to dress more reasonable the next morning!
• Wearing the right shoes with an outfit can complete the whole outfit. If your feeling lazy and you just wanna wear jeans and a sweater then wear some really cute boots to make the outfit better!
• Wear tights with dresses and skirts! This makes things much easier and you feel better and less self conscious when you are wearing a dress or skirt.  
• Instead of wearing sweatpants wearing leggings instead! They are extremely comfy and you can get the in plain colors or extreme patterns! These are an easy choice and very cheap! You can get them for usually $12 or under at Forever 21.
