a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous



We got a request about what to wear for a classy dinner. here are some ways to look classy and not trashy when going out with a boy or your girlfriends!

If you are going out on a date here is a suggestion:

  • don't try to look "hot" by wearing a tight mini dress and over the top tall heels. i think getting a classy black dress and cute heels is perfect for a first date - or any date. 
all black is always classy. add in a little color to spice things up!


If your going out with your friends, i would make the outfit a little less "hot" and more "fun." florals, lace and colorful dresses make for a classy but cute outfit.



add a pair of cute wedges and watch to complete the outfit!

xx,

Costuming a Western!


Hello lovelies! I just wanted to share something really cool with all of you! I'm actually costuming a western film! Since Chapman has an amazing film school, I have the opportunity to work with some really talented directors, producers, and such. In a couple weeks, we'll be filming The Moon and the Dead!


Anyhow, here's a couple of my sketches for the characters. I hope you like them and make sure to go check out our page!

The Airport Test


Hello lovelies!! I hope you all are enjoying yourselves on spring break!! I just started mine yesterday! Woo hop! Anyways, getting home was a bit of an ordeal for me... Let's just say I spent 12 hours in the airports and in the air and I had to run through the Phoenix airport from one side literally to the other. Full sprint. Carrying two bags and ski boots. Long story short, I spent 12 hours traveling in my Jeffrey Campbell Lita Espanas. They were incredibly comfortable! I couldn't believe it! Actually, I could because Jeffrey's are the best shoes in the world... But I'd say that after 12 hours of walking, waiting, running, airplane foot swelling, and what not they passed the travel test!

I can't recommend these shoes highly enough. They're super comfortable and worth the extra $$$.

first day of spring!



Since it's the first day of Spring I decided that I would make a post about my must-haves for my favorite season!

Since it's getting to be beach bummin' weather here in Southern California, I wanted to start with perfect beach cover ups!

  • long t-shirts are a staple, the less clothes at the beach, the better! but if you want to go to a store it's a little awkward only having a shirt on.
  • a tank top and skirt are also a good combo because you can go to lunch or into a store and it's not as uncomfortable
  • and my favorite, a cover up dress. so comfortable but also cute!!
I have too many sandals but I think they can pull together an entire spring outfit!

The most essential thing in any spring wardrobe are sundresses. The easiest way to look put together without having to try.

happy spring!!

The Perfect First Date Look!

Hello Lovelies! Even though my love life is falling to shambles, I'm sure that not all of yours are so here are some date dress ideas. I hope that all your love lives are filled with unicorns and rainbows!! If you're stressing about what to wear if your special honey bunny is planning on taking you out tomorrow never fear! Here are some cute ideas for a couple different outfits depending on the type of date. Much love!!

This is a great dress. It would be super flattering on many different body types, and it could either be dressed down with some casual sandals or dressed up with cute heels!



This dress is a great look for a daytime date or maybe a concert. Throw a cute cardi and some flats on and you're golden!

I LOVE This dress! It's so great for a dinner date with that quirky guy who will appreciate your unique sense of stye.

Meeting the parents? Going to brunch? Fancy dinner? This dress is fun but still somewhat conservative with the high neckline and cap sleeves. Throw a statement necklace and some kitten heels on and you're ready to go.

Okay, I realize that probably 1% of you would wear this dress but I'm literally in LOVE with it... My style can be pretty edgy, and this is both edgy and sexy. The perfect combo for an evening with that bad boy.

be happy!

I know that this is a fashion blog... But I've been going through a bit of a rough week, and I know that a lot of other people are too. With midterms, and spring break coming up, life is a little stressful for us all right now. So to take a little break from the fashion, I just thought I'd throw in a post about happiness! Just to brighten all you lovelies' days! (And mine of course, haha)

Here is a list of things that should bring a smile to your pretty face. :)

1. Laugh a little! Here are a couple silly videos that are guaranteed to incite a giggle:

2. Sleep!! Studies show that a solid 8 hours of sleep has countless benefits such as:
  • An increased ability for creativity!
  • Less stress!
  • Increased attention span!
  • Natural depression medication!
3.  Listen to some happy tunes! Sometimes you've gotta admit that a little T-Swift or Katy Perry action can seriously help with the blues.

4. Make a list and prioritize. If you're stressing about that essay that's due on Friday, your midterm on Wednesday, and whatever else, make a list of all the things you've got to get done. Itemize your tasks in order of their importance to you right now. For example, you need to finish studying for your test on Wednesday before you can totally focus on the essay that's due on Friday. Check off things on your list once you complete them to not only get that satisfaction of achieving your goals but also keep track of your progress.

5. Go for a walk! You'd be amazed how much better you can feel after taking a quick jaunt outside. The fresh air can relax you and give you some time to get a new perspective on your life. As a bonus, walking and other forms of exercise release endorphins which are the body's natural antidepressant. These neurotransmitters put you in a good mood automatically, so get out there and be active!

6. Count your blessings. Make a mental, or paper, list of all the things you're thankful for. Even if it seems like everything is going wrong, it isn't! Take a moment to recognize and be thankful for all the good things in your life. Even though your man just dumped you, you're homesick, stressed about classes, it's all good when you realize what you really have going for you. You have friends, family, dogs, cats, cool shoes, good weather, yummy food, good tea, and whatever else going for you! When the s#%t hits the fan, I always like to say "Well, at least nobody's shooting at me!" It really puts things into perspective. If you're reading this, that means you have access to the internet, which automatically makes you better off than a good percentage of the global population. 

7. Clichés are sometimes true. It really does get better with time, there really are more fish in the sea, and practice really does make perfect!

8. Kittens








9. Puppies






10. Baby Sloths






Best of all:

Blind as a bat, like me!

I never understood why kids with glasses got made fun of... Seriously! When I first found out that I needed to wear glasses I was 11, and I was excited! I loved picking out my glasses and wearing them; I felt like hot stuff. I got made fun of for wearing them though, which I just didn't (and still don't) get. It's not like I chose to have bad eyesight. I didn't car though, I still wore my dorky orange glasses with pride.

For all you girls out there who suffer through contact lenses all day and only wear your glasses in the comfort of your room at night, I'd highly suggest wearing them out more. I recently got a pair of glasses that I absolutely LOVE! I get so many compliments on them every day, it makes me feel so good, haha! Seriously though, my glasses define my style nowadays. Apparently the men folk also find them somewhat sexy? I guess there's something to be said for that geek chic/sexy librarian type look.

I also know that glasses can be SUPER expensive... I've definitely paid too much for previous pairs. But I recently purchased a pair online. Let's just say I got a ridiculously good deal. While it's not unusual to drop a few Benjamins on some killer frames, I paid only $12. I know, it seems like some sort of scam. It's not! I promise! This website, coastal.com has a "first pair free" offer that allows you to pay only shipping and tax (and extra features like polarized lenses if you want them). They have a seriously great selection, and I found the perfect pair!!



Just wanted to do a little shout out to all of you lovelies who are just like me: blind as a freaking bat.

What have we all become?

So last night, Liz and I were browsing through some of our old childhood photos and it got me thinking. When I was little, there was no way I could have anticipated I'd turn out like I did... Haha, it makes sense I suppose. I was the weird little girl who wore dresses to school every day... And now I'm the weird less little girl who wears the shirts with skeletons on them. Haha... What has happened to me? I don't know... But I'm super happy with who I am now and I just wanted to share that with you all.
Then...
And now.

It's a bit crazy but I love it already. I'm so in love with all of my new sisters and can't wait to be a part of something awesome! So look forward to some posts about business casual and formal attire!

Scotch tape nails!

So I've been seeing a ton of pictures online of these rad But super complicated looking manicures. I really wanted to try one of them because they look great but I'm really bad at painting nails... So I found a simple manicure that involves a bit of scotch tape and two colors of polish. It's pretty foolproof and looks great! Enjoy!!

Here are the steps:
1. Paint your nails a solid color,
2. Wait until they are completely dry! This is very important!!
3. Cut or rip the tape in half length wise then place the tape on your nail with the straight edge towards the corner of the nail you're going to paint.
4. Paint the corner of your nail that's taped off with a different color. (I chose gold sparkles) don't be afraid to paint on top of the tape.
5. Wait until it dries and gently peel off the tape.

Voila! You've got gorgeous nails!! You can use this technique to create different shapes too!

kelsey's top picks

♠ 
There's a few products that I have been in love with lately and I thought I'd share some with you!

Top pick: Makeup
I love bronzer. When I look dead in the morning, putting on a little bronzer livens me up and it's super quick and easy. My favorite bronzer is Laura Mercier's pressed powder. It's a little pricey but so worth it!

Top pick: Clothes
As of late I've been really into long, slightly oversized plain t-shirts. I just picked up this one from The Gap and I love it!! So comfy and you can dress it up or down.

Top pick: Shoes
Tom's are a necessity in every girls life. Not only are they cute but they are also unbelievably comfortable. Plus, when you buy a pair you give to a child in need! I have the red corduroys and I'm obsessed. Amory can back me up on this one.

Top pick: Purse/Accessory
I hate bringing a purse everywhere, so for Christmas I got a super handy Vera Bradley wristlet. It carries my ID, debit card, cash, and phone and I dont have to lug around a bag. It's perfect.

perfect tones

A lot of people have a hard time picking out colors for their skin tone, myself included. So I decided to provide some tips! When picking out clothes it's important to look at not only your skin color but also your hair and eye color! (this is also a little guide for prom dresses i guess)

If you are lighter skinned steer clear of light colors. Especially tan. If you have dark hair, light eyes and pale skin, or light hair, lights eyes, and pale skin choose rubies, sapphires, or black, white, and gray.
This is a random picture of Amory but this color looks awesome on her skin tone (also she just looks adorable)
I have an olive skin tone with light hair. I like to wear deep purples or light colors like tan, light pink, or mint. They make me look like a have more of a tan. Yellow brings out the yellowish tones in my skin so I try to avoid that color.

I chose a light pink for my prom dress because it makes my hair look blonder and my skin look more tan!
If you have dark skin and dark hair, corals and magentas look great. Don't wear too much brown or yellow, they're not always flattering.

My friend Shobana wore the PERFECT prom dress for her skin tone

Shobana is on the right. Doesn't she look great?
Picking clothes that match your features will make an outfit look even better!!

rock yo skin tones,
