Show & Tell

They say sharing is caring, right? Well I must care a lot about you guys because I have a couple of things to share with you all today. :)

First thing I'd like share is a few pictures of some awesome new earphones I got the other day. These earphones are a perfect way to combine two of my favorite things: fashion and music.


You guys know I just LOVE the leopard print and the pink!



You know it has to be chic, when fashion is in the name of it!


Here are the details on the back of the box. I got these earphones from Walmart, but you can purchase them here(they are the Leopard Kensington ones). Also, if you want to view all of the earphones in the lovely Fashionation-The MacBeth Collection, you can check them out here.


Here's a more up close look of these stylish headphones(and of one of my nails too!).



The other thing I wanted to show you all is a couple of pictures that I took before my 8th grade formal dance, that was back in June.


First, here's a pic of my dress; it's practically perfect! It's pink, has sequins and jewels at the top, and the skirt is poofy.

I loved wearing this dress, I felt like such a princess! Plus, I had an amazing time that night! :) Dress- Shingar(a store in one of the local malls), Shoes- Payless, Earrings and Bracelets- Walmart

Ways to Wear: Printed Shorts

Hi there blogosphere! One of the major trends of this summer is shorts. Not just any kind of shorts though, printed shorts, and really more along the lines of interesting shorts in general. There are spiked shorts, leather shorts, glitter shorts, striped shorts, etc. To me it just seems like fashion decided that, "Hey! Why should shirts have all the fun?!" and I totally agree with that! Printed shorts can bring some excitement to a summer wardrobe, and definitely spice it up from the usual plain jean shorts. One thing I must say though, is that pulling off printed shorts can be difficult; with the more complex the print is, usually the harder it is to find something to wear with it. But have no fear my friend, this is where I come in to help! :) Today I decided to put together a set with six different looks utilizing the printed shorts trend. I hope this gives you inspiration to try this trend out on your own!

Long Time, No See & Cold-Weather Accessories (Ways to Wear/My Obsessions Post)

Hi guys, I know it's been forever and a day(which equates to seven months) since I've last posted, but I am finally here again! Man how I have missed blogging, and it feels good to be back! How have you guys been?? This feels so much like one of those moments when you're in the grocery store and you see an old friend that you haven't talked to in ages. :)
    
Well anyway, enough with the chit-chat. Today's post is about something I would like to consider myself somewhat of an expert on, or at least an educated fan of: scarves. I love scarves and I feel like they can be some of the greatest accessories to add to almost any outfit! And with so many different colors and patterns, scarves are a sure way to express yourself and add a personal touch. Scarves can add a pop of interesting to a bland outfit or be the item to bring the whole outfit together.
    
A lot of people consider scarves to be a cold-weather accessory, but that my friend, is where they are mistaken! For me scarves aren't something you just throw-on when your neck might be a little chilly, they're something you can where ANYTIME, including in the summer! The trick is to make sure to wear a light-weight scarf so that your chic outfit addition is not making you anymore sweaty than need-be. Another trick for rocking a scarf in the heat is all in the way you wear it. Trust me, if your neck looks like it's being choked by fabric. . .then it probably is! Instead, the scarf should be worn in a way that drapes the clothing nicely, and doesn't have so much of a snug vibe to it.


I thought it be nice to do a little show-and-tell now, so here's a quick snapshot of my collection of scarves. :)

Yup, there's 13 of them now, and I'm going to keep on adding more! :)

To get everyone started(if you are new to the whole summer scarf idea) here is a set of some more scarves, that I love, and would be perfect to wear, even in the summer's heat! Also, further down below I've chosen three of those scarves and put outfits together with them, to give you some ideas on how to rock this type of look. :)

My Obsessions: Navy & Gold

Okay guys, so I have a new obsession post for you all, and it's on the colors navy and gold, specifically, when they are together. I've actually have had this obsession for about two months. I adore the thought of navy and other dark blues combined with golds and shades of deep yellows. I just love the way those colors compliment each other! Those colors together can have a way of being elegant, edgy, and everything in-between. 

Speaking of in-between, today, at my ripe age of 13, I experienced my first earthquake! The earthquake reached a 5.9 on the Richter Scale, and hit in many areas around the east coast of the United States. Luckily for me, the epicenter was right here in good 'ol Virginia. Now what does that have to do with being in-between?? Well, I'm glad you asked, because, quite frankly, I was in-between thinking, "Whoa, that was so epically cool!" and having a heart attack. 

Well I guess that's enough with the earthquake talk, back to the navy and gold. I've made two sets: a set showing a few items that happen to be navy and/or gold, and then there is a set showcasing four chic outfits that don the navy and gold colors.
