New stuff!


Nautical clothes have been everywhere, on the runways, streets, EVERYWHERE. And why shouldn't they? There is a nautical peice for everyone. A striped shirt, a sailor dress, brogues (my personal fave). This Victoria's Secret top has been in several magazines and frankly, I adore it. The gold shoulder detail is pretty but subtle. Horizontal stripes don't have to be widening, as long as you wear them with slimming bottoms, or break them up with a cardigan or vest. I would wear this with dark skinny jeans and delicate gold bangles.
Now this dress isn't nautical, but it is certainly everywhere. Beloved by celebrities and magazines everywhere, this Rebecca Taylor dress is super girly, but can easily be boho or downtown with the addition of brown boots and a fringe bag, or bronze gladiators and an oversize blazer.

Trust me with these, they look crazy but if you have confidence these can be totally normal. Plus, the multicolored sparkle will go with any color.

Dolls I did it!

I found a way to eliminate my frizz. I didn't sell my soul, and it's easy to do at home. Of course, You have to find time in your busy day, at least forty minutes.
First you wash your hair, but don't wash out the conditioner. What I did was put on a shower cap, get out of the shower and blow dry(rest, blow dry), but you could just stay in the shower with the cap on and let steam do all the work. After I washed out conditioner, I made two ponytails, one on top and one on bottom. I did this because the area that gets frizziest on me is the first layer of hair. Then I put shime serum on the bottom poyntail, and John Frieda frizz ease on the top and braided both separately. I let them dry for abou ten twenty minutes and then unbraided them, and slathered then in hairspray. If you want your hair to be very light , or to have looser curls, don't use hairspray, I did because without it my hair gets huge and makes my cheeks look big. Et voila! Minimal frizz (as it dried, the top layer of my hair became frizzy, but this could be because it's semi-straight).
On a totally unrelated not, I got three magazines and am having tons of fun! Goodbye!

Been popping cheerios like a toddler

First of all, Rest in peace artistic genius Alexander Mcqueen.

Now, I hope everyone heard We Are The World. I heard it two days ago and then remembered it today because it started playing while I got a long needed manicure (Essie-Jam n Jelly:The best color ever! Bright-but-not-neon pink with a purple shimmer.) One nail has chipped a little though :(
I've spent the majority of the last two hours going to the computer and running back to my room. Damn salmon! I usually love salmon but that smell was TERRIBLE!
I received Elle last night and I was sooo happy! Keira Knightly looks beautiful and the articles are great but what grabbed me was the accessories and makeup. The animal print wedges were to DIE for. Maybe I'm just loving animal print right now. I
want everything animal print now but i have to restrain myself; no prints at school :(
Goodbye, I have to return to reading blogs while popping cheerios like a toddler ;)

School

It's hard to accept that school, restarts tomorrow. So I've planned and studied and now what? With only hours left what do I do? Buy the new issue of TeenVogue of course! Jessica Szohr is on the cover and I love her. I love how TeenVogue says it, (this is paraphrased of course) She's beautiful, but not bleached blonde and look at me beautiful. She's real with thick brown hair uncommon among starlets. Her character on Gossip Girl is edgy and different than the people she finds her old friend hanging out with. In real life she's relatively low-key which I love. Since this is the Valentines issue the stuff listed was so girly I melted. Like these Cynthia Rowling rings.
Of course the pink and purple and red were interrupted with refreshingly edgy items. These BC Footwear flats for example.
Bye till (Insert date here)!

Rediscovering

Has anyone ever loved a song/pair of shoes/etc. and then forgot about it? It happens to me a lot, I listen to a song constantly then move on. Lucky for me I often rediscover it. I love when it happens cause I remember the song well since I listened to it a lot. Despite that it feels new since I often listen to songs months after I discover them. Some ones Lately are-Hot in Here-Nelly, There's nothin-Sean Kingston, Luck-Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, and Beverly Hills-Weezer
As for clothes, I try to go through my clothes several times a year but I still forget items. I keep my clothes in several places so it's hard. When I pack for camp I get to see all my clothes and discover what I wear more and what I don't wear at all. After camp Many of my shoes are ruined and I am forced to throw out some and buy more. It gives me a chance to try out new trends (like over the knee boots I can't find any of). I have around 65 sweaters so I try to rotate those more than other items.
I am constantly rereading my magazines. At the moment, I'm reading my four Septembers- Elle, Instyle, PeopleStylewatch, and Marie Claire( I have Lucky but I read it several times at camp) and reading My PeopleStylewatches. I am waiting to borrow Vogue from my aunt. Next I'll be reading my Elle's. I have several from other countries and the oldest is September '08.

Has Anyone ever rediscovered something important or not? Tell me your thoughts!

catchin' up

Been making up the time spent at camp. watching shows, unpacking, buying nail polish and magazines. Truly, most of my money goes to magazines and nail polish. As it is September and I only read fashion mags I'm very busy. Today a close friend showed up with gifts from her stay in Italy. I got a fountain pen set and two tops so I'm over the moon at the moment.
Hope everyone's having a great Summer! Mwah!

Ahhh Summer!

Yesterday was one of the most unproductive days I've ever had. If only my English teacher could hear my grammar now. I did all my morning stuff at 8 and the only creative thing I did was start a puzzle. At around 9 I went to Texas Rotisserie and Grill for dinner. It was nice but it's not my favorite restaurant. It was D's idea, he loves he place. After we went to Barnes and Noble for like, 2 seconds to wait to see a movie. The movie was Year One and it was great. I don't love Jack Blacks acting style but it worked for this movie. Michael Cera, of course was amazing! The humor was suggestive but rarely vulgar and the whole audience was bursting with laughter the whole time. See it!
I got an itunes gift card from my grandma and use almost all of it this morning (afternoon?). I bought some songs and episodes (was their a rule about tv on your ipod at camp?) that I love but haven't watched yet cause I'm reading.
I got my last issue of Elle before camp! I haven't finished yet but I love the shirt Gwen Stefani wears on the cover.
Yesterday I came back from the movie and my ma bought out a new dress from ebay! I will never be able to ebay like that. It's gorgeous black velvet with a bow tie in the back. It needs to be tailored but a few at home adjustments and I can ear it to my ma's boyfriend's parents house for fathers day dinner.
Au revoir ma petites! Kisses to you all!
