Dress for the Season

Let's talk about skirts and dresses for Winter time! 

I'm a weirdo in that I don't really like wearing jeans. It just gets so boring and dull for me! And I just think dresses and skirts make coming up with outfits so much easier. Also it's just cuter. 


 NOTE: Cardigans, Boots, Belts, Scarves, Long Necklaces and the best part = Patterned & Colored Tights! 


NOTE: Patterned & Cute Sweater Tops! 


 NOTE: Colored, Patterned and Different Styles of Skirts! 

*****
So if you're bored of leggings and jeans totally these looks! Yey for skirts and dresses :) And there are just so many possibile outfits when you accessorize! Hello boots, tights, scarves, tops, jewelry, hats, bags - ah so many options! God I love being a woman.

Nail Diary

Do you also have a ridiculous amount of nail polish? (I know I do!) Welllllll. Here's an idea to keep a note of the colors you have - the company, the color ID number, name of the polish, how much of one color you have compared to others, etc.

A NAIL DIARY! 





I knew that right when I saw this, I had to do it for myself.  Firstly, I have so much nail polish that it's always a hassle when I have to look through it entirely bottle by bottle to figure out what I want to do with my nails. Secondly, I always let my roommates and friends borrow my nail polish and it get's annoying too for them to take out everything and try to decide what to do. so obviously a nail diary is awesome. 

It doesn't have to just be the colors too! you can actually like make a note of the patterns you did on your nails or what color you last did on your nails. just think of the possibilites! it is making me giddy just thinking about it :)

Love in Nail Polish,

We've come a long way. Let's keep improving.

Werk That Jirt.

JIRT = JEAN SHIRT
in case you didn't know. 




a pretty popular trend for a while now. it's comfy but still chic.  i know i love my jirt.  I have one with polka dots too which is pretty awesome. it's pretty easy to pair too! i mean you probably shouldn't wear them with blue jeans cause that's just strange. but hello opportunity to wear colored jeans (and leggings too without bringing so much notice)! you can also wear it easily with skirts too - which i absolutely love to do too.

love in jirts, 
ALPHA

Good Thinking!

Okay. You're going out clubbing or to a party and chances are if you're like me you hate carrying around a bag. I mean you can have a small bag and everything but you still have so much to carry that that bag is already full. Here's a cool tip I discovered. Money in chap stick! (of course it would be more like safety money) Probably the cleverest thing I have seen. It's compact, it's super slim and no one would ever think that there would be money in a chap stick! GAH. Mind Blown. Love it.

Love,

Memory Jar


Quick! Start this before it's already too late in the year/already forget some of the funny things that have happened in the year!

Why do it?
Isn't it obvious? It's to preserve the found memories you had with your loved ones! So at the end of 2013, on New Year's Eve you can open the jar and laugh and remember all the good and funny things that happened throughout the year.

It's also a great way to get everyone together and a good way to leave one year and jump into the next.

Printstagram

Small Flip Book

If you have a smartphone (or know anyone with a smartphone), chances are, you've been exposed to a certain photo app. called "Instagram". I am a bit crazy with Instagram - I have like close to 900 pictures now, which I know is insane.

I love taking photos - especially on Instagram! But after you take pictures on Instagram there's not much you can do but flip through it on your phone right? Wrong! Today, there are a lot of companies that can take your pictures from Instagram and turn it into actual photos and so much more!

Calendar 
Sticker Book
As I was looking through my Pinterest, I noticed a couple of these sites and decided to check some out. I landed on Prinstagram! I wouldn't have ever imagined doing any of these things with my photos - and  bam a website/company that could do it all for me! I really do think it's such a cool idea.

Poster
I myself got the 365 calendar! (Yeah...I paid like $50 for it...but it's like really cool and I do have so many instagram photos I like). Which is my second point! Even though I have like 900 photos on instagram I found it so hard to fill up the 365 slots! I had to relook at my photos so many times and it took me forever. In the end I just started clicking photos and because I never realized how many photos I actually cared about (which says something about my Instagram habits). 

Seriously. If you're an Instagram person like me - you really should do something else with your pictures! It's truly great yo.
