Hippie 101

Today is a lovely sunny day, and i just felt like dressing free and wild:) So i dug out my springy clothes and opted for a Pink Floyd T (stolen from my boyfriend, naturally:) and voile hippie nation:) I'm just loving it, alot alot alot:) So here's some pointers for the hippie-esque look:)

1: forget about matching, if the colors go, or even if they don't, your good.

2:if its old and maybe has a hole or two, doesn't matter. work with it.

3. gor for natural makeup, and mussed hair&go:)

Hope your all enjoying you sunny friday!

DIY vintage hair!

Summer is almost here! (finally!) And since we all know vintage hair is coming back into style, so i spent yesterday evening figuring new hair styles, and i discovered something i thought was really neat(seen to the right) And i just fell in love with it! So if you are as interested as I am, here's how ya do it!!

DIY

First: You may want to start with some texture in your hair, also known as not washing it this morning:)

Then: Pull all your hair over one shoulder, whichever side you prefer. Get a comb and a little bit of some gentle hair spray. Pull one larg section of bangs at the front of your head, braiding the front most part under so you don't get the funny bump. Continue on down allll the way to the ends of your hair making sure you pull hair in at every section, a simple frontal french braid if you are not familiar with french braiding, just youtube it it's pretty simple. ALSO: this may not work if your hair is short or has a lot of short layers, but im sure you can do something similar, just play around with it.

After the braid is finished make sure you spray down alll the loose little flyaways and make sure the braid is secure.

Then: Twist the end of the braid and twirl up around your chin area just under the ear. Pin in place (this may take a few tries before it looks good, just keep trying you'll get there!)

After the braid/bun is in place insert any vintage style head band or fashionable bobby pins, spray all over once more and go! (also make sure your bangs are tucked in! I forgot before i took the picture!)

Remember to have fun with it, i mean it took me a half hour to get the braid right, just have keep trying! The end result is so worth it!

Have a great day, guys:)

A day at the puppy park

I have a puppy, obviously as I'm sure my three readers all know, anyways she's about a year old, and my boyfriend and i took her to the park the other day. It's a cute little place with a nice playground. My pup, my man, and i walk along, and we see this HUGE! (huge!!) Labrador coming along. So my four pound toy Pomeranian walks right up to this lab (who's owner asks if we want to socialize and tells her pup to sit) and crawls right up on him and shoves her tiny snout in his giant ear, sniffing around. This lab was so amazing! It didn't even flinch, he was so well behaved he didn't need a leash he just sat and stayed put! Even while Lily was sniffing around him! Amazing! Hopefully the next time we go we can socialize her a bit more, maybe one day she'll be good like that giant Lab! Have a wonderful Monday:)

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes!

So a few weeks a go i was out shopping with my lovely boyfriend. (who never fails to come with me even when its for clothes! and he's always honest:) So any way we're out shopping from store to store and whilst working on limited funds i needed a new outfit. It's just an itch i get every once in while, so to quench it i went out to browse and got a ton of cute stuff, and total cost was around $45! So not kidding! (the above is my outfit:) I got three pair of earrings and a beaded cuff bracelet from Charlotte Russe, for $8! I also got the gorgeous dress i'm wearing from Charlotte for only $26! And it came with the belt!! (what a deal! I LOVE belts!!) So that's thirty four dollars, but i still needed shoes! I mean whats a shopping trip without shoes!?!? (not a very good one I'd say!) So we head over to Rue 21 because there was a most gorgeous pair of flowered wedges that I'd been stalking and wanted to see if they were on sale yet. Well i mean at the time it was wishful thinking because id been there two days before (nope, I'm serious i really was ha ha!) So we go in and i go over to the accessories dept and i see the shoes on the $10 wall! Like holy poo these shoes i was in love with are only 10 dollars! Talk about a dream right!?!?!!? I mean i am so stingy with money i hate spending it! My boyfriend had to make me buy the dress because I'm so cheap i don't spend over $12 bucks on ANYTHING! (except bras!) So i snatch u those shoes (the last pair in my size!) and i hightail it to the cashier and i got em! And the good news was the go perfectly with the dress:) So shop Charlotte Russe & Rue 21! You'll get all the good stuff for less than half the price! Have a sunny Monday:) & Thanks for reading!
Shoes:):) Make me happy!
