Victoria Secret: Beach Sale

Starting June 28th Vicky's will be having there BEACH BOMBSHELL sale..

Fashion Advice: Bathing Suits

Sand, water, tanning, and ice cream. Beach weather is here which means bikinis, tankinis, and sexy one piece bathing suits are the topic. So here comes the advice.. we all know going to the beach can be one or two things.. a good time in the sun looking good and feeling great, and then the uncomfortable sloppy looking people who make you sick. So this is another know your figure advice post. I myself would not walk around in a bikini like i have killer abs and a full body tone. So we all have seen those "I am super confident in my body" people who do not have beach body sexy going on. My advice the only thing that should be jiggling are the girls. Now getting a tone beach body is a lot of work, some are blessed with the discipline and others are not. There is nothing wrong with being proud and comfortable in your own skin, but looking unappealing should make you feel uncomfortable. If you have a little belly the tankini is the best bet for you. You still get to feel and look sexy without having to put on a one piece. If you have a rocking body and want to show it off go for it but thong bikinis at a public beach is not the same as your own private pool. Wear a cover up or keep it for the privacy of your own pool. If you are full figured and have to much going on getting a bathing suit that accentuates your breast and supports them is your best bet. Try a top with support maybe one of the ones that cross over each other. If you have a bigger bottom, the tankini boy shorts give you coverage and still show a little something. So have fun and regardless of your don't make anyone barf because you look sloppy at the beach.

Having trouble with your Bra?

Some women either don't wear the right size bra, don't know what their breast size is, or even how to measure their breast to determine both..Another thing is how to wash their bra. Now I know your wondering    " Does she think we all are stupid." But I'm serious, don't you hate when your wearing your bra  and the under wire is sticking you? Well if you wash your bra's by hand you can prevent that from happening, also if you want to still wash them in a machine

Waves and Curls:Men

It would seem as if men's hair trends don't do much. Which is sort of true, they change their hairstyles just as much as woman but don't always feel the need to go as extreme or as many times as women. They tend to stay with what works for them BUT in this year men are all about excitement and taking risk. (Not saying that they just became this way.) An so is the different hair styles they rock. The two main trends for men's hair is: razor spike and wavy and curly. Razor spikes tend to have the sides cut down close and the remaining hair is spiked to the side. An wavy and curly is self explanatory. The hair is usually short and has a lot of texture to is as well as body. An its safe to safe to say that it is a modern day Justin Timberlake fro.

Let them breath

Have you noticed this?

Your wearing a suit that you spend a good chunk of money getting tailored yet it's still not the "right fit." Well that problem just might be solved this season. Designers have suits now that are slightly baggier to let them breath.. it is also looks a bit more boxier.

Note: Don't go to overboard with the bagginess you wouldn't want to look sloppy at an important celebration, let alone at the office. So limit it to one size bigger anything higher than that might as well go out in sweatpants.

Summer LOCKS

The hot, long days of summer are well on their way and that means a few things:
The beach, BBQ, and soaking up the sun, but it also means hot humid weather requiring people to want to keep cool. My suggestion, how about a new look? Summer is the prime time to try out something you've only thought about. For example, if you are still in school you will be going on summer vacation for some time and you never know who you will see but the chances are not everyone from your whole school so what do you do? You get a hair cut! RIGHT? So why does that have to change because your an adult? Everyone knows that when your body is hot the last thing you want is tons of hair on the back of your neck. An although many people think, "how is cutting my hair going to give me a new look, it's just a hair cut?" Well it will and I'm not sure about most people but I believe that a new cut requires some new clothes. Yes, having a new cut can tend to make your old clothes look a little lively but nothing is better than a new pair of anything that can complement the new you. So for summer I have 2 all time haircuts that are must do's.

1. The bob.

I know, this can be a drastic change note the whole new look thing previously stated. So why the bob. Its fun, sheek, easy to maintenance, can wear it numerous ways, and overall sexy! You can do a blunt bob, a layer bob,  bob with a bang, or even an paige boy bob. There are so many options it can be wicked short or   medium length with tons of layers. This hairstyle makes any outfit adorable. It's just that playful of a cut and it actually slims your face down a bit so if that sounds like a plus for you go for it.

2. Mid Length layers.

It's a new change but not as severe as the bob. It gives you a little more to play with. You can still do the typical things you could have with your long locks it just has a little less twist to it. The layers give body to your hair and an exciting look to your face. It too is very easy to maintenance, and can be dressed up or down.

So the choice is yours. But fun fact if you opp for the bob your hair is most likely to grow out into the mid length layers so its like getting 2 for the price of one

Gold Accents

It appears that gold is something you are seeing more and more of. Make up artist have made it something that you will see a lot more on peoples physical body, and I'm not talking about nail polish. There are now a lot more eye shadows, powders, and eyeliner out their with gold accents making it possible for you to add a little shimmer and sass to your look.

Missing a button

So has this happen to you..


Lost one of your buttons on a shirt/jacket, or maybe the button on your jeans popped off. But how about this one you just bought some cheap clothing and the buttons where a lost cost.


Now there are many people out there who don't know how to sew a button on. Well this is dedicated to you guys.

How to sew on a button:

1. Make sure you have the right size button for your needs.
2. Double check that all of the excess thread from the previous button has been removed from the garments.

3. Thread your needle. (tips. licking the thread makes it condensed, so you can get the whole string of thread in. Also holding the needle and thread up to a light makes it easier to see the whole in the needle.) 

4. Place the button on the area you want it to be on the garment.
5. Once you have the thread to the length you feel will be enough to sew on the button double knot it at the  end in order to hold things together.
6. On the inside layer of the fabric poke a hole to go threw the bottom whole of the button. (Make sure you start from the inside of the garment so the knot is not visible.)
7. Then proceed to place the needle into the button whole next to it. Repeat that motion 2x.
8. Next move the thread to the button whole on top. Repeat that motion 2x.
9. And so on and so on until you feel the button is firm an well secured.
10. Last step is to tie a knot in the back to make sure all of the pieces of thread stay put.
Good Luck and Let me know if pictures are needed..

Monochromatic eyes and lips

So taking the monochromatic trend like every trend has taken the next step and moved into make-up. Monochromatic is just the same color but in different shades. For example you could have a bright red eye and a little darker lip. Try it out but just like with clothing make sure your wearing the right shades for your skin completion. If you are to pale or to dark the really bright colors will not look good on you. For darker skin rich colors can pop and complement your shade, As for the paler people stay away from oranges or to bright of pinks. An nice medium toned color or earthy colors sit nice on your skin. Also what the trend has done is take the monochromatic colors of your natural skin tone and paired them up so if you are a medium brown you'd wear a light brown eye shadow and a little bit of a darker lip. Refer to the picture.

How-To-Wear:HighLow Skirts

High-Low skirts are one of the hottest things for summer. If you have no clue what I'm talking about they are the skirts that are longer in the back.
These are so easy to wear all you have to do it find a matching top, or a complementary colored top. You could also match them with a printed top, it could be short sleeve, long sleeve, halter top, or even a crop top shirt. If your feeling edgy maybe a ruffled shoulder and some combat boots. These skirts are great because you can wear your hair in a bun add a short necklace and a nice lip, wear a halter top, high- low skirt and some sandals or heels (or mary janes) for a classy girly look. Or you could rock it with a leather jacket shirt with zippers on then and a little bootie or combat boots.


So try it out you won't regret it.

How- To-Wear: Crop Tops

Crop tops.

Now I have seen a few things such as --belly no undershirt, big breast no bra, the wrong colored tank under it..just to name a few.

There are so many great ways to wear a crop top, but those are not the ones. So lets get down to it, crop tops. The best way that I find adorable if you have a little bit of a belly to wear a high waisted pants to cinch your waist in a little and keep it controlled. Then you could opp for a nude undershirt or if your feeling confident no undershirt, and add the top. Or you could pair it  with a nice skirt and show off a little belly. Another way would be shorts. An  if you want to do the sexy look how about some fancy stockings, mary- janes and a leotard. (Just monitor where you where the sexy look, and that you have the right body type for to pull of this look.)

Fahion Advice: Dressing it up or down

Knowing the right thing to wear.

Have you ever been invited more than one event held on the same date? Or have a busy schedule and just don't have the time to go home and change? Or even if you love an item in your closet but you don't think you can wear it for more than one occasion. I have news for you. Accesorising your wardrobe can save you a bundle. No joke, I'm serious. Although I am a shopaholic I understand how to make my closet seem mega large. Okay so lets say you got invited to this business casual party they want you to look sophisticated and well put together. Lets say you've got this cute a line LBD (little black  dress). Throw it on slick your hair back into a pony add light make up and slide on a pair pantyhose and flats. But before you leave the house throw a colored pump into a bag, a clutch, a leather jacket, a banging ring, and some lipstick and eyeliner. Now when the party is over your girls want to have a "girls night out", no biggie. Kick off those flats, slide out of those pantyhose and put on those pumps. Go to the nearest bathroom or even to your car and apply your make-up (please don't drive and apply.) Let your hair lose from its pony and shake it a little, giving it that "I just woke up out of bedhair". Then lastly as you get out the car grab your cluth and put on that leather jacket. And there you have it two looks for two different parties. Mission Accomplished.
