Okay everybody I'm Sarah, Kayla's BFF. She mentions me a lot in her posts, here's my blog: http://gingergurf123.blogspot.com/ She asked me to make a post about spring fashion. I'm in love with fashion so maybe that's why she asked me. So anyway here we go, fashion week just ended and I've been in love with the trends for it. Here's something about all the hair and makeup trends and how to work them into your regular life. http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/16/Cool-looks-from-Fashion-Week.aspx.
So anyway, let's start talking about spring clothes.
SHIRTS:
This is from American Eagle Outfitters http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90038&productId=0355_5454 It's flowy and cinches at the hip, to die for. Although $40, is exspensive.
It's from Forever21 http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=whatsnew_app_tops&product_id=2000009853&Page=1
Kayla loves it too. Just so flowy, and lace is really in right now as long as you use it in small amounts. Put it under a cardigan in the winter and or with jean shorts like the model did when it gets warmer.
Also from American Eagle. http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat90030&productId=2371_9780 I know it's a little dull, okay a lot dull but imagine it with a super colorful ring and some chunky bracelets and some long layered necklaces. And it'll be great for fall.
Forever 21 again. http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=whatsnew_app_tops&product_id=2000009978&Page=5&pgcount=100 Forever21 are great for graphic tees like this. They're perfect for throwing over a bikini at the beach or just a chill day. A tip is to get it in a size up so it's slouchy and baggy.
Bottoms:
Aeropostale. http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10784911&cp=3534618.3534619.3534623.3541050.3536152.1988314
White jeans are really in come spring/summer. Perfect for a flowy tank and some bangles and tribal neclaces. Very fashion foward
Aeropostale http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10833903&cp=3534618.3534619.3534623.3541050.3536152.11327055.11331565
You can get a pair of jean shorts anywhere but they're a staple in any girl's closet.
DRESSES:
American Eagle, http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat1320034&productId=prod720550 I have this dress myself and it's just the perfect summer dress. I'm using it for some special occasions but also everyday. It can be dressed up or down depending on accesories.

Well I guess thats it for me!
Bye!
GOOD LUCK
This is not the same as Shopping guide because I don't really say much about price in this. Okay, so I like to work from my base, my base being:
A white Cami
Blue bootcut jeans. You can go for a darker wash if you want. This look would probably look uber cool with distressed skinny jeans like these
But if your school doesn't allow "Exsessivly Ripped Clothing" find some tamer jeans.
So we have our base. Blue jeans and a cami. Lets work from there and get more into camis.
CAMIS
This look can work with any color cami. It could even have patterns. My friend Sarah has this gorgeous blue cami with green stars and green lace. It looked totally cool. The best part about camis is they work great with anything. So you cant wear Spaghetti straps to school. Well, actually you can! You just need to cover the straps. Also, lace really dresses up a cami.
THE NEXT PART OF OUR OUTFIT
So I said you need to just cover up. What with, you ask? The ever-so-amazing cardigan of course! Here are a few camis to try out.
THE CROPPED CARDI .
Find one with less dressed up sleeves if you prefer. If you want a better look, make sure the color of the cardigan goes well with the cami. For example...
This
Works well with this
Because navy and yellow work well together!! So heres more cardis
LONGER CARDI
Don't like showing your belly? Find a longer one!
That one is perfect. Its long and not show-offy but you can still see the cami. It is also very flowy so it gives a relaxed look. I find black cardigans more, well, "harsh looking" against bright colors. Gray looks more I guess you could say, "relaxed". It just feels more light. Black is slimming, but also harsh against bright colors and boring against dark ones. Gray will look really light against bright, light, and dark colors.
DRESSY/PRETTY CARDIGANS
OMG, Isn't that sooo cute! Also, it works with any solid tee or cami!
SHOES
My friend and I have theese flats, they are sooo cute and perfect! I got them at payless. They go with anything! Here are a few more options:
High tops or lowtops, converse and vans totally rock. I got pictures of black ones because theres so many colors to choose from, and I didnt want to upload every color of the rainbow.
SO THERES OUR SCHOOL OUTFIT!
GOOD LUCK!
Hey! Its been a while. Time for my first nail tutorial! Since this is my first I thought I should make it simple, simple enough for me. I like painting my toes better, because nobody really sees them (Im messy), but this is simple and cute for fingers and toes, and it is incredibly hard to mess up. Lets get started!
You will need:
Clear base coat
Clear top coat
Sally Hansen "All the white stuff"
N.Y.C New york color 112A "Times Square Tangerine Creme"
First up.
Apply a clear base coat to your nails to keep them strong and prevent coloring of the nails.
Next
Apply "Times Square Tangerine Creme" to each nail. To prevent it from looking gloppy only apply in three broad strokes: Once down the midde, Once on the right, Once on the left. Apply 2-3 coats. Let nails dry.
After that
Take "All the white stuff" and create polka dots on your nails using your nail dotting tool. Try to make them large to keep it simple and fun. Let dry.
Lastly
Apply a top coat to strengthen nails and add a glossy,shiny finish. Let Dry. Done!
I hope you've changed your mind about nail art being hard and time consuming. Please try this!
GOOD LUCK!
So you can't help spending tons of money on cute clothes? Then keep reading my blog because I'm starting a "series" called "Shopping Guide". Just read it whenever you want to CB (cut back).
Leave a comment telling what shopping guide you want next! Like "School Outfits"
So here is out first ever installment of.... SHOPPING GUIDE!
The very first rule: NO: Aeropostale, Hollister,or Abercrombie and Fitch
If you cant stay away from Aero, or if you have gift cards to Hollister than keep reading:
Fine. Go to aeropostale. BUT you may only go if there is a sale or you have a gift card. If you have a gift card I would still stay away, because you never know when you might snap when you see that ultra-hot $99.99 dress or outfit.
Dresses:Okay, so we learned to stay away from expensive stores. Find your dress based on the dress code of the party.
SEMI-FORMAL
Heres a tricky one. Semi formal is a real pain. The trick is to find the most beautiful dress ever. But it has to be short. See? If it was long it would be formal. So cut of the longness, taking away half. Therefore making it it SEMI- formal. Heres a suggestion. Check out www.gojane.com/ They have a huge selection full of cute things. I got that website out of a seventeen magazine, so its womens clothing. But if you can shop at PS, which is like Aeropostale for kids sizes 14, 14/16 and 16 you can get womens clothes in S or XS. But the dresses will probably be longer if you still fit in kids size. So if you are kids size then the shortest dress is the way to go, it'll look a tad larger on you. also try http://www.wetseal.com/home.jsp They also have the cutest dresses ever, with $5 dollar shipping. If you go in the "sale" section theres actuall dresses for $15!!!
FORMAL:
Oh, here we go. Formal is not to hard, but not easy either. Check out http://www.debshops.com/home/index.jsp. They JUST came out with a new Prom 2011 collection.
So heres the formal requierments:
AT LEAST PAST THE KNEE!
Elegant
No Dress/ Birthday party:
Definetly a graphic tee, skinny jeans, a little blazer and high tops.
If your not the girl to wear skinny jeans then a cami, a cardigan, bootcut, high tops. Now top it off with tons of jewlery.
HOW TO KNOW THE CODE WHEN ITS UNKNOWN:
Ah, the age old question: What should I wear?
Well, your school valentines dance should definetly call for a short dress with a necklace and possibly a braclet. Since its a school dance, dont over do it. But for a spring time school dance maybe a bright, short dress. If your not the dresses-for-school-occasions-type, then skinny jeans or leggings with a long shirt or a tunic. Top off with sandals. As for the dress? Don't be afraid to wear converse. As long as it looks good, go with it!
My 3 readers are probably exploding right now wanting more. And laughing at that awesome joke. Yeah the joke I just ruined right there. On Monday I'll make 3 posts but only post one. Then I'll put up one of the ones I created on Monday on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then on Thursday I'll make three posts and only post one. Then I post the leftovers on Friday and Saturday. Sunday will be my day off and my day to think what I can make Monday. So here is my sincere apolagy.
Dear all the zero people that keep bugging me to make new posts,
The reason I haven't been posting is because I am suffering from a bad disease. I shall describe the horrible disease in my next post. Also I have been having trouble coming up with what to post about. Next tutorial is straightening tutorial but google images uploader is not working. Oh, and when it does work im too lazy. So yeah, thats no good. Since this has nothing to do with beauty it will not be considered a post. I am sincerely sorry.
Love to granny,
Kayla
Okay, so this shall be the first installment of my E-diary. Don't think I'm going to be all mushy and talk about my feelings, because I'm not. I'm just posting about my day and nothing more. So, you guys should know by now that when it comes to my blog I'm very organized. Everything has to be split into sections and needs to have different colors. Got it? Good.
THE PARTY
So today I attended Sarah's B-day party. It was a bowling party at brunswik bowling, and if I had to describe the overall party in one word, it would be: SICK! (Thats Lowell talk for awesome. I ACTUALLY got my non-Lowell friend to say it once, without trying! How sick is that?) Heres the link to her sick blog:
http://gingergurf123.blogspot.com/ Go there! So yeah the only thing I didn't quite enjoy was when the worker dude in the green fuzzy sick hat entered my name on the board and I had to do some ACTUAL bowling. I have actually beaten ADULTS at bowling but I was like 7 or somthing or 6 or 5. The last time I went to bowl before this party was my 9th b-day party which was a year ago.. so I was kinda rusty.
THE GIFTS
So I got Sarah a maybeline pallete. It had green, brown, and pale creamish colors. Perfect for her brown eyes. I also got her a black pencil eyeliner and brown 9x volume mascara. She doesn't have any mascara and I thought black would be a bit harsh since her lashes are brown and her eyes are a VERY light brown, she has bright red hair and pale skin. (Freckles, too. She's a ginger and shes proud.) Jane gave her some makeup stuff too but Jane also got Sarah a Home made collage of all there pics. Even class pictures from last year. (Being a fifth grader I missed out on that) Cassidy got sarah a card and Teddy Bear Pez! Im so jealous.
THE FUN
After the party we went to the arcade. We had 3 dollars worth of free tokens. I got 56 tickets because of my skill ball skills. We played some DDR too.
THE NACHOS
Yeah, my friend took my turn and got me a spare so I rewarded her by sharing nachos with her. We borrowed 2 bucks Alex and she took 2 of my turns and 1 of Jane's turns. We all ate the nachos (alex, jane, me, and cassidy. but she only had 1)
Okay so thats it. Bye.
