I Need to Get This Off of My Chest.


Fashionistas I need to explain my lack of blogging this month.
It's not that I've been too busy or I've had a lack of inspiration, it's that I've been having a ton of friend drama.
Usually it blows over within a couple of hours, but this time I think it's different.

I am known to my friends as the 'dramatic, over-the-top girl'.
I'm very dramatic with my choice of words when I speak, I make everything over-the-top.
If I do badly on one test suddenly "I'll never make it into college, then I'll live in a roach infested one bedroom apartment, and then my only friends will be the roaches!"
I just can't help myself!

My dramatic ways tend to heat up the smallest arguments with my friends.
Not only do I blow things out of proportion, but I'm also known to bring up the things that my friends and I have argued over in the past. My biggest problem is that I don't filter what I say and if I'm upset I typically say things that I know will upset my friends. I am able to forgive but I'm never able to forget. So every argument always ends up with me bringing up the past.

Now I know this is making me sound like a horrible person but, I needed to get this out of my system. I'm in a fight with one of my best friends right now. We've been through so much together and I don't want to lose him. He won't text me back even though I've tried to apologize four times now. I am miserable. I don't want to lose one of my best friends over a snarky comment. I'm secretly hoping he'll read this and realize how much I miss him.
It's been almost 2 days without him in my life and I hate it so much. He's usually the first person I text in the morning and the last I text at night. We fight like an old married couple (or so I'm told by my other 2 best friends) we always make up. I'm just worried that this time could be different.

I may fight with my friends a lot, I may not be the nicest person when we're in a fight, but at the end of the day I love them so much. I wish he'd talk to me again. Every time my phone vibrates I hope it's him texting me that he forgives me. It's not though. My other best friends said to wait it out. Sadly, patience is not something that I was blessed with!

So if you're reading this, I really miss you and I'm so sorry.

Thanks my following fashionistas, I just needed to get this off my chest.
I hope you guys don't think I'm crazy now.

I'll be back to regular posting soon.


Love you all!

PS: I'm also aware that this is just typical teen drama. I just needed to vent. Thanks for always being here for me(:

Casual White and Blue.



Hello fashionistas,
I'm so sorry for falling behind on my blogging.
I would like to promise that it won't happen again but... I'm realistic and it probably will happen again! Sorry in advance!

Anyways, this is what I wore way back on Monday!





Shirt: New York and Company
Tank: Kohls
Shoes: Aerosoles
Jeans: GV
Bracelets: Mom

In these pictures my shirt looks really wrinkled, I'm not sure why..
I don't remember it being that wrinkled.
Oh well!

Also, this is the new haircut! It's not that exciting.
I just got my split ends cut, my bangs trimmed, and some face framing pieces put it. Oh, and she trimmed the top layers so they were actual layers again.


I hope you all had a great week and are now enjoying your weekend!
I'm off on spring break all next week, yeyyy!
Although, I'm feeling a bit abandoned..
Ethan (best guy friend) and Lily (you know her!) are both out of town until early next week.
I'm super jealous that I'm stuck at home and they're both out having fun!
My big plans for while they are gone are to 1.) finally get my learners permit (driving) and 2.) read some books!
I've been slacking on this permit since my birthday back in December! I'm finally reading the book this weekend, taking the required 4 hour drug and alcohol online test, and taking the actual test at the DMV.
Wish me luck!


Loads of love!

New York and Company Haul




Hello fashionistas,
I have a shopping addiction, it's not like it's a new thing.
Here's my latest haul!
It's actually not that much.
I bought (well mom bought me) everything from New York and Company Outlet.

This looks way better on than it does on the hanger, on the hanger it looks bland.
On it's really cute!
I bought this in a size big so it would be slouchy(:
This also is not cute on the hanger, I promise when on it is super cute!

Just a simple lilact t-shirt, super soft and comfy. I also bought this in a size bigger because again I wanted it slouchy!



I'm so sorry for being a slacker this month, I just have not been motivated to post a lot!
Expect a lot of posts after Wednesday of this week, all my tests will be done!
I have a big geography test tomorrow, a biology test Tuesday, and a geometry test Wednesday.
Wish me luck girlies!



Have a great week!

Bangs or No Bangs?


Hello fashionistas,
sorry for not posting the past couple of days, life got in the way!

Anyways, tomorrow I'm getting my haircut and I'm not sure what I want..
It's finally at the length I've been trying to grow it to but, there are some split ends going on and I'm going to at the very least get a trim. The question is do I do something crazy with it?
I'm thinking about getting bangs again..

This was a haircut I had a year and a half ago, I don't want the length just the bangs.

*Ignore the silly makeup, my aunt and I were pretending to be football players, it's a long story!*

I liked these bangs, they were edgier than my normal side bangs.


This was my hair over 2 years ago!
These bangs were very easy to work with, I could clip them over, leave them, or braid them!



This is how my hair was
Here's a relatively recent (like a month and a half ago) picture of my hair just plain.


Fashionistas I desperately need your opinion which hair cut on me is your favorite!
Let me know in the comments below!


Thanks!

Beauty How To- Contouring 101





Hello my beauty-istas!
Today I have a how to post for contouring your face.
Contouring was not something I did up until a couple of months ago, now I do it religiously!
I think contouring is an easy, quick way to define your face and give it more color.


Here are the simple easy steps on how to contour:

1.) First find a bronzer that is dark enough to define your face but, not so dark that it looks like you have mud on your face. Make sure the bronzer is matte, you don't want to look like a shimmering disco ball!

My contouring bronzer of choice is

2.) Take a 'contouring' brush and apply the bronzer to the highlighted areas below.
Don't pack on the bronzer heavily, you just want to dust it over the hot pink areas on the picture of me below (jawline, sides of your face, chin, and temples).
( I don't own a professional contouring brush but, this is what one looks like. Mine is similar to this only it isn't angled like this one.)



3.) Take a fluffy face brush and blend, blend, blend! I typically blend in circular motions. The whole reason you are blending out the bronzer is to create a smooth look, you don't want one part of your face to look darker than another! Make sure to not over blend!

4.) I always take a lighter bronzer and apply it to my cheeks just to give my face more of a warmed up glow. This is just something I do, you don't have to do it.

Here's another little thing I do, I don't typically contour my blush.
I do apply a creme blush to the apples of cheeks and blend it all, then I add a powder blush over it. If I'm going for a glowy/dewy look, I'll take either an illuminating powder and dust it over the tops of my cheeks (sometimes on my nose). This is what I typically use.



I love contouring and I hope I cleared up the confusion you may have had over contouring!
If you do try this out, please let me know!



Lots of love!

My Day in Pictures- March 13th, 2011




Hello my lovelies(:
Happy Sunday to you all, I will try to keep my chattiness to a minimum in this post! I love to talk/type/blog/chat so this may be a toughie!





1.) I woke up late due to the time change (11 am!) and I wasn't hungry until like 1 so, I thought cereal wouldn't be appropriate! I decided to make a smoothie.
It has strawberry yogurt, blackberries, ice, milk, and some Equal in it.
Mmmmmmmm!
It was so good that I am going to make one for breakfast tomorrow.

2.) I've always watched Gossip Girl but, I'd never read the books until now. My best friend Mel read them and has been lending them to me. This is the second in the series and I finished it today! The books are oh so different from the show in case you were wondering.
Also, this is where the title from an outfit post came from.

3.) My mom and I decided to go walk the Vilano Bridge today with our dog Colby. This was taken at the beach after we walked (not on the beach, obviously).
Oh Mr. Colby is a handsome boy!

4.) I snapped a picture of the intracoastal while we were driving back over the Vilano Bridge.
It was a beautiful day in Saint Augustine, 73 degrees and not a cloud in the sky!

5.) We went grocery shopping after walking the bridge and I decided to snap a pic in the produce aisles! Hehe(=
We picked up lots of fruits and veggies. Tonight (as per my request) we are having kebabs.


I'm going to try to do a post now and put it up tomorrow because my grandpa and his girlfriend are going to be in town Monday and Tuesday.
So, if I don't post much this week, sorry!


Have a great week, lots of love!

All I Want Is... e v e r y t h i n g


Hello my dearest fashionistas,
I have been a bad blogger lately, sorry!
I have an outfit of the evening from Friday to share with you all!
I wore this out to dinner with my friends and family, then we went the art gallery show where my vase was chosen to go.


What I wore.
Dress: Forever 21
Jacket: JCP
Bracelet: Lia Sophia
Headband: Claire's
Shoes: Nine West
Clutch: Susan Farber (this was the one I won in that giveaway back in August, so luxe!)

Sorry the light is giving the clutch a strange glare!


Here are some pictures of my friends and I at dinner.
Lily, moi, and Melissa.
Love these two so much!♥
One, two, three- "CLASSY LADIES!"
I was laughing like crazy!


Here's my vase, this shows the colors of it the best.

"The Ocean's Bodice"
This is such an unattractive photo of me! It was so HOT in the gallery, hence my very red cheeks! I think this expression would be "woah, my vase actually is in a gallery."


On a random note, I decided that I am not going to do a February favorites; I've been using the same products as last month! So, be on the lookout for my outfit for the Bon Jovi concert, yes that will be up sometime this week!
Also, I have a little inspirational post for you all sometime this week as well.

Have a fabulous day!
