While I was at work today and of course checking the news like I always do, I saw something very upsetting. And it actually burns me up a little. As a young women and also the older sister to a few girls I find it very very upsetting to someone as beautiful and talented as the young women below Kelsey Williams would even be remotely called pudgy.
This women is not even close to pudgy. I would just like to know who exactly decides what or who is considered pudgy, over weight, etc. etc.
As a young fashion and beauty blogger, who is always looking at fashion and models, you see this a huge portion of the time.
Yes there is a clear difference when you look at the two. Just because one is skinnier then the other does not make over the other pudgy. When you are always hearing and seeing as well that this ( the above photo) is what we should strive to be I find it insane. We are human, no one should look the same. Just as our finger prints are different our body weight is also different. No two will ever or should ever be the same.
As I was saying before, being the older sister of several girls, it truly gets to me when someone like this writes a post about being under or over wight. One of my sisters is always working out and is always worried about what she is eating. Now I see nothing wrong with that, I think you should want to be fit and healthy, but I know that she is doing it for all the wrong reasons. When you always see something about weight in the mainstream media it will at some point start to affect you.
Almost every....I take that back pretty much every main stream media magazine, blog, tv personal etc. has talked about weight as some point. It truly is heart breaking for. I have family that struggle with weight problems. I feel awful seeing everything mainly made for women of smaller framed bodies.
I always ask myself these two questions. If it were you, would you want someone too do the same thing to you? My second question is...If that were your daughter, would you want someone to say or make statements like that about your daughter?
When you take such questions into mind it starts to really make you think before you write or say something.
I hope you enjoyed this little rant, and always thank you for reading. I hope this makes people think before that say or write something.

Get to know me - Beauty blogger survey!
Hey everyone so due too the fact I believe I am starting to get a little sick and my plans changed over the weekend I will not being posting what I really wanted to posted today which was a " Get ready with me" blog and I also have a killer headache right now but here are and I wanted to get at least one post in this week so I am doing beauty survey :) enjoy!
1. Is your hair curly or straight?
My hair is straight as a stick, I won't hold a curl at all. One plus to my hair though is that it is super thick and lush. It not to dry or oily, basically on the perfect side :) I normally take a straightener to my hair just to make it extra extra straight.
Yes to get my hair like that it takes a lot of work. As far as how I deal with the length and what not. I really like for my hair to be long. When I was in grade school my mom made me keep it short and I had bangs and I hated it. As I got to 5th grade I let my bangs grow out and I was " bang less" for a while and I had not layers. Then in middle school I still kept it bang less and had it cut to about the top of my shoulders and I did not straighten so I was really think and now that I am thinking about it, that hair style would probably have looked a lot better if I would styled it in some way ha! after that I let it grow out and get really long. When I to be 14 I got it cut and layered and had a side swoop. I hated the side swoop but the rest of it I really like. Just before my 16th birthday I got my hair cut super short, it was cut to my chin and I got side bangs. Since then I have let it grow out as you can see. I have had it trimmed just to keep the split ends as bay and as well I have kept the side bangs. I look better ( or to me I do) with side bangs I got a big forehead so they compliment my face ha. You can also see and learn about this outfit HERE
2. What is your natural hair color.
My natural hair color is auburn ( red) during the summer it gets lighter and it looks a lot like it does in the picture seen above.
3. Do you dye your hair your self or go to a salon?
I have never actually dyed my hair, so I do not believe that I can really answer this question.
4. Do you wear the same style everyday or do you change it up?
Well I tend to switch it up, my style is kinda all over the map some days I am very girl, some days I am rocking a band t' shirt with some jeans and a blazer or just the band t' shirt. How I dress just depends on what I am doing that day or how I feel.
As you can see here I am sporting one of my favorite bands, I wore this to work one day. As you can see I have jeans on and a Pink Floyd band t' I did wear a plain black blazer and a black with silver studs belt and gray knee high boots.
5. Do you do your own mani/pedi or do you go to a salon?
I have always done my own nails. I would love to have them done at a salon one day though.
6. How often do you change your nail polish?
I use to change it every week, now that I have gotten super busy I do my nails and toes when I can. But I normally never wear the same polish for more then a week on nails. If I paint my toe nails I just leave them that color just up to a month.
7. Do you polish your toes during the winter or just the summer?
I love doing my nails so I keep doing it all year. Plus where I live you can wear flip flops sometime during the winter so I like to keep them looking good.
8. how long does it take you to put on your makeup?
Ok this is going to be one long answer ha! If I am really wanting to look just amazing and glamorous just I am mean down right dolled up It can and has take me up to 1 hour. Now on a normal work day it takes me up too 45 minutes. If I am in a rush I can be done in about 10 minutes.
this look right HERE is someting I whipped together in 45 minutes.

I normally ask for makeup for my birthday or Christmas and I figured out that way that I could get a lot of makeup and not have to worry about spending my own money on it ha.
12. Do you do a full face of makeup everyday?
I do my makeup every day but Saturday and Sunday. I believe that your face need a break and a chance to breath. The only exception to that rule is if I am going out. If I am going out then I will put makeup on, now just staying home, then I stay all freshed faced and clean.
13. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone or with your family?
Now you see I am going to reply in a complex way cause I am crazy with this ha. If I am with my parents and siblings I will go makeup free, I am with my favorite grandparents then I am also makeup free. now around my other family I wear makeup. If I am alone then I will not have an ounce of makeup on at all.

15. How many high-end products do you own?
I own too many to count
16. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
A lot of the time I plan what I am going to wear the night before, but sometimes if I am too tired then I will get up and just get dressed. I really do not like doing that though. I much prefer to plan my outfits the night before simply because I have this problem where I will switch what I am wearing a million times and be rushing and that is not a good thing of course.

Spring and layers
Hello darlings! I am here today with another blog ( YAY!) today it is all about spring and layers. I do not know about where y'all live but where I live the weather has been doing some crazy things. At some points it is nice and warm and other moments it is cold and you need something to keep you warm here it is how to stay stylish and looking amazing in layers for spring! :)
As you can see for the bottoms I went with shorts and just kept it pretty simple with the dark denim, As for the top I wanted to add some color and pattern into the look. The shirt just screams " SPRING" too me and the colors look awesome! Since this is a layering look I went with a black cardigan that had a 3/4 sleeve too keep you nice and warm on the morning walk outside. For the shoes I thought a simple cork wedge peep toe would be nice and it will also elongate the legs ( Hey we for sure want that!) You all know that I love to nice the pretty and playful with the dark and edgy, I believe by adding the spiked purse you get that wonderful combination and that is why I picked that purse. The spikes are with out a doubt awesome. Since there is a lot going on in the outfit already with color and pattern I went with just a simple black cross ring. I think anyone can pull this look off and by fabulous darling!
As always I hope you are able to draw some inspiration from this outfit and of course I hope you enjoyed reading! Big thanks too everyone that reads, and had kept reading. Leave comments letting me know what you would do or would have done different. Please be sure to share with others and subscribe by email if you wish.

Up coming spring inspiration
So for today's blog I am keeping it pretty chill and we are going to take a look at the up coming fashions that I have been seeing, for spring that are inspiring me in the up coming season. Now before I ramble on anymore go ahead and take a look at the pictures below.
As you can tell I really love shoes because the first few pictures in this blog are going to be shoes haha. But I love these I think they are supper cute! You can find this ballet flat at Forever21
This faux beauty can also be found at Forever21 but I really like these. It would be so amazing paired with some denim shorts and a band t-shirt or just a plain v-neck top.
I am also are you can see really liking the whole animal print thing this year because a lot of the shoes that I like have some kind of animal print but you can find these at Wet Seal.
More ballet flats and these are in a wonderful pink lace ( these so match the earrings I am wearing right now) but these pretty little numbers can be found at Forver21.
With in the past year I have developed a love for the color green. I have no idea but these edgy shoes can be bought at Pink Ice.
Super cute for the summer time till they start to get extra dirty but still none the less cute! Wet Seal is where these can be found.
Love this whole outfit my goal for this season is to bring more color into each of my outfits ( lets see how well that works out!)
I simply adore this outfit. The top, shorts, and shoes, it just all works so well together, very boho chic.
Mrs. Fox looking great ha, I love this outfit and some out I am going to recreate it! One day hopefully.
Ah band T's I am loving them! I am just all about the band t's for some reason. :)
Shorts and leggings LOVE IT!! I have only actually worn this type of outfit once and it looked pretty darn cute.
I love this outfit and starbucks hehe :)
Well ladies I am off for a quick lunch break with the family and off to a fab night of fun! but that is all for today's blog please be sure to share with others, and comment also subscribe if you would like!

Who inspires my fashion
Over the Holiday weekend I was thinking it would be nice if I show you who inspires my fashion and why talk a little bit about why they inspire me in my fashion.
Audrey Hepburn is amazing I adore her style. She is so classic and lady like. Her style really speaks to me because she is just so girly and I am also very girly. I draw from her simple style and the way she held her self so well and I really like that.
Marilyn Monroe she is so stunning and a sex icon in her day and I draw from that. She was a rebel in her time in both the way she acted and with out a doubt her style and inspires me to take risk in my clothing as well.
Heidi Klum, a Victoria Secret Angel and beautiful model. Here style is so edgy and just always trying some new and I like that about her style. She is great at mixing two blends of style together and daring. With out a doubt some one that inspires my fashion style.
Nicole Scherzinger for the love of all of man kind this women is beautiful. She has been my top inspiration from such a young age. The way she styles her self is amazing, from her hair to her make up right down to her clothes and shoes, she just sparks this amazing light in my creative side for style.
Kim Kardashian I know a lot of people have mixed feeling about her but I like her. She is pretty and daring when it comes to fashion. She works with what she has and is not afraid to show it. I am more of the curvy nature and she has taught me to not be scared to show my curves rather then hide them.
Tyra Banks....who doesn't like Tyra? She is daring and strong and can rock anything she wears. I like that because just like Kim she is curvy and is not afraid to show that. She lets her energy shine through her fashion and that inspires me because I show my emotion through my fashion.
As you can these are the wonderful ladies that inspire me to be the person I am and with out a doubt inspire my style. Each one has built my style single handily and plays a key roll in what I shop for. As always I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, please be sure to share and comment. Thank you everyone that reads my blog it means the world to me. See you next time ;)

My Favorites in Fashion and Beauty!
I have lots of favorites but I figured that today I would break down my top six fashion and beauty favorites, three being beauty and the other three being fashion. So lets starts before I start to ramble on haha.
I love skinny jeans...for the love of all things if they are ripped I am twice as likely to buy them. I first did not really like skinny jeans it was just something about them that made them look like they are just not comfortable, but wow I was really amazed. Of course I noticed that other girls were wearing them and to me I just did not want to conform and go with what everyone else was wearing but doing my back to school shopping in 7th grade I tried someone just to try them on and that is when the addiction on the skinny jeans started, it was also when my emo/scene days started but that is just a totally different story for a different time. Although I do have a rule for when I wear skinny jeans. NO tennie shoes whats so ever! I only wear uggs ( yes I still wear uggs lol ) boots/ heeled boots, Ballet flats, or flip flops. I feel like wearing tennie shoes with skinny jeans it just looks weird or atleast it looks weird on me haha.
Ok all in all I love a good pair of pumps these are just extra cute because they have the spikes and that adds a bit of flare to them. I am kinda short, or least I feel short haha I am 5'4 but in general I love a good pair of heels. They make me feel tall and sexy! Of course who does not want to feel that but also they make my legs look even longer. For a short girl ( ok normal size I guess lol!) I pretty long legs so that is a plus. But I love heels the taller the heel the better!
I have for some reason really been loving lace. I have no clue why but I over the summer got a lace top and from there on out I just feel in love it. I know some people may think it have this old lady feel to it but done up and worn in the right way it looks really well. I have this classic feel to it and if you pair it with a leather jacket or some spiked heels you can have an edgy style that is girly and chic yet so vintage and edgy and something about that just speaks to me, that I really like. None of that probably made any since lol but to me it does and if you love lace like I do then you might be able to understand at least half of what I said lol!
This hair spray smells so good, and it really works. Aussie in general is a really good brand and I can highly recommend using it but ah it just smells so freaking good. The other night I curled my hair so that in the morning I would not have to worry about and sprayed it with some of this hair spray and WOW! It held all night long woke up and had the same great hair still, now I must say that is the clear way or saying that this product works.
To wrinkle or not to wrinkle...ha not wrinkle! haha This product is really great of of course as I stated in a one of my other blogs I am only 17 and I do not have wrinkles but none the less it is never to early to start. I use this in the morning because it has spf and it makes my skin feel super soft. I know it cost a lot of money but this is something that I would recommend getting it is well worth the money.
I actually have no idea where you can get this flat iron, because I got it for Christmas but I use this thing everyday ( no joke) It works really well and it heats up so fast, I actually curl my hair with this flat iron and it works really well. So two thumbs up from me :)

| Whiskered Skinny Jeans - Forever 21 |
I love skinny jeans...for the love of all things if they are ripped I am twice as likely to buy them. I first did not really like skinny jeans it was just something about them that made them look like they are just not comfortable, but wow I was really amazed. Of course I noticed that other girls were wearing them and to me I just did not want to conform and go with what everyone else was wearing but doing my back to school shopping in 7th grade I tried someone just to try them on and that is when the addiction on the skinny jeans started, it was also when my emo/scene days started but that is just a totally different story for a different time. Although I do have a rule for when I wear skinny jeans. NO tennie shoes whats so ever! I only wear uggs ( yes I still wear uggs lol ) boots/ heeled boots, Ballet flats, or flip flops. I feel like wearing tennie shoes with skinny jeans it just looks weird or atleast it looks weird on me haha.

| spiked bow uber platform pump - charlotte russe |
Ok all in all I love a good pair of pumps these are just extra cute because they have the spikes and that adds a bit of flare to them. I am kinda short, or least I feel short haha I am 5'4 but in general I love a good pair of heels. They make me feel tall and sexy! Of course who does not want to feel that but also they make my legs look even longer. For a short girl ( ok normal size I guess lol!) I pretty long legs so that is a plus. But I love heels the taller the heel the better!

| BLTD Lace Peasent top - Rue 21 |
I have for some reason really been loving lace. I have no clue why but I over the summer got a lace top and from there on out I just feel in love it. I know some people may think it have this old lady feel to it but done up and worn in the right way it looks really well. I have this classic feel to it and if you pair it with a leather jacket or some spiked heels you can have an edgy style that is girly and chic yet so vintage and edgy and something about that just speaks to me, that I really like. None of that probably made any since lol but to me it does and if you love lace like I do then you might be able to understand at least half of what I said lol!

| mega hair spray mega hold - aussie |
This hair spray smells so good, and it really works. Aussie in general is a really good brand and I can highly recommend using it but ah it just smells so freaking good. The other night I curled my hair so that in the morning I would not have to worry about and sprayed it with some of this hair spray and WOW! It held all night long woke up and had the same great hair still, now I must say that is the clear way or saying that this product works.

Vintage..a fashionable come back!
Today at work ( hehe thanks to my nice boss #daddy'sgirl ) as I was checking out the news I saw this story on an 80's style that is making its way back. Now as you can see I am inspired to write a blog about some of my top 3 vintage things that have come back that I really like/love.
![]() |
| Betsey Johnson 2012 Fashion week |
1. Cripmed hair...ah a true 80's hair style that I like ha! This one of those things that it is just fun and although I am 100% sure it damages the hell out of your hair, for one day I think it is worth it, so long as you keep those baby hairs down and tamed and don't go by the time less southern rule the bigger the hair the closer to god ;) ( don't worry I am from the south I know how to put the " T" in teased haha )
Forever 21 Peplum 1950's inspired skirt
2. Yay to this! I love the 50's fashion style, it breaths class and elegance but hey that is just me. Now when you look at a true 1050's peplum skirt actually any skirt from that time it is stopped at the knee or just below, as you can clearly see this is 2012 take on the classic style. I really like the skirt this is one of great items that you can dress up or down and it day out with girls kinda outfit. Also a side note to this one above that you see I think the color choice is amazing I like peach just can't wear it seeing how it does not work very well with my skin tone. Links to the skirt will be place down below!
oversized jacket 60's trend 2012 take on it
3. Over sized equals cute size haha! Love these I my self want one maybe not in those colors shown above, seeing how a lot of my closet is filled with black ( I am trying very hard to pull my self away from that and add more color) but I would with out a doubt rock one of the over sized coats. These are great for this time of year, and thing oversized to simply spells comfy and cozy plus with all the holidays coming we all want to hide away that food coma we are in, well at least I do haha #yummyfood
As you can see those are my top three loves for 2012 fall vintage trends, from the hair to the cozy coat, you got the best. As always thanks to anyone that reads please feel free to share my blog with anyone leave comments and subscribe.

Cover Girl Makeup review
Cover girl is one of the timeless classics that every girl seems to start out with and builds off of. It is like a good foundation to getting better with makeup and learning how the products work. I have been using cover girl products since I was about 12 or 13 and now I happen to be 17 so I believe my thoughts on this product are true and I can honestly tell you how they work for me.
This product I must say at first I was impressed with, but as I hot into the hotter months, I found my self not liking. This foundation goes on light and smooth leaves you with a nice flawless finish but with in about two hours or so my makeup looked caked on and just looked awful. Now during the winter months this product did better for me. I still found my self applying powder to take the shiny away, and my skin tends to brake out when I am using this product. This were two deal breakers for me. Now Before I did start using the Estee Lauder, I bought a second bottle of this which I will be using in the winter months once again to test it and see just how well it looks. I am also not fond on the packaging, but once again one of those things you can live with.
Impressed! I must say I do really like the way this product works, leaves no shine, and flawless look. My makeup doesn't feel heavy or looked caked on with this powder. The packaging is nice but I must say the hinging on it kinda cheap, My first one that I got it actually broke on me * tear* and I was quite upset by that and the fact that the mirror doesnt stay up it own, you have to actually hold it which in some cases can be a pain, but nothing that you can't deal with. I also highly recommend that you a power brush instead of the little powder puff that is provided inside. The powder puff does leave a caked on look where the powder brush leaves a nice smooth clean coverage all over.
I am not that impressed with this product. For me it just didn't set right. It was also clumpy. Not I must say It matched my skin tone nicely and that I really like but it is once again, a start product. I guess this is good if you just are in a pinch a need to rush out of the house and want to use cover up and not do your whole beauty makeup routine. Which by the way I have actually done that before and it worked well but not something I would wear everyday. Packing is nice I don't have any complaints about, the want is nice and the tube is nice size.

Estee Lauder double Matte foundation review
Yay posted on the actual date my blogs should be posted on! That is a first ha ha. Well Between moving, work, and school I have now set aside two dates that will have blog post that is Tuesday and Friday. I was unable to post last week, just super busy and couldn't get too it but here we are now posting a review so enjoy :)
I have been using this foundation for over a month and I can not say one bad thing about it. I know a lot of fashion and beauty gurus use Estee Lauder foundation. the packaging is very nice it comes in a blue box. The bottle its self is a nice and I have no problem getting the foundation out.
Once again I must say I am in love with the foundation! the product goes on smooth and doesn't streak. Also something I truly love is that it last up to 8 hours and does an amazing job with keeping everything oil free. Being that for my job I am out and about all day in the sun and heat it still looks great. I only need to powder up once twice at most. This foundation also doesn't leave my face feeling cakey and heavy. It blends really nicely and leaves an amazing look.
Over the weekend because I was moving I used my cover girl foundation ( I will be doing a review on cover girl products) I had to do a lot of touch ups and even though my makeup felt light and I was still having to pack on tons of powder to help not look shiny. Now I know what you are thinking "Hello you were moving and sweating." yes that is true but while wearing the Estee Lauder to work I sweat am out in the sun and it stays in place and I still look good. Over all I give the foundation two thumbs up! I with out a doubt will be getting more.
Soon I will be doing product reviews about more Estee Lauder product along with a makeup haul, cover girl reviews and other makeup product. As always I hope you enjoyed reading! Please leave comments on anything you want to see from fashion to beauty! Of course thank you to everyone that does read my blog it means a lot to me!

Fall Trends 2012
Hello everyone! Once again I am terribly sorry for not posting on my some what dated time, with school and family stuff going I am trying to find a small space of time to write, but to those of you that are reading my blog thank you! I can not thank you enough and hopefully soon I will be able to post twice a week and normal routine time. But as for now, we are going to talk about this years fall trends. enjoy :)
Well I have noticed that in the last few year the style was strongly into 90's grunge coming back to the neon 80's, which I liked but now we are going back a bit farther. 60's and 70's fashion styles, patterns and etc is making its way into our closets. Even the hair styles. I also noticed while at TJ Maxx one evening they had these flapper styles dresses with lace and tole ( not so cute needs a bit of work just my personal thought though)
The trends this season are getting back to simple with earth tone colors and dark browns, blues, etc. I like this for two reason 1. I like these colors they look good on everyone 2. In general I love fall :) ha ha oh and I am another reason to my list so 3. military style totally love!!
I really like this outfit in general and will try this season to put this outfit together because it is just so bloody cute! the white skinny jeans and the navy style top with the military type jacket is a sure win for me. You can easily add a bomber jacket and wedge heel or Navy blue heel to this outfit you can also add black ballet flats. This also would make a cute office casual style.
Wow this is so 60's and I find it amazing! the way their hair and make-up is done right down to the bright colored leggings. In both outfits you find a nice use of colors and crazy pattern use. I like that! As well both outfits seem to be a bit " over sized" this over size jackets are going to be a big thing this season along with the fur. Yay to that keep you nice and warm that or you can eat a bit more hehe ;)
I hope you all enjoy new trends and really in brace them. I know I will! thanks for reading, be sure to comment and share.

SOHO travel brush review
So I know I said that I would post on Tuesdays and Fridays but things have been a bit crazy with me lately. I have just started up school again but non the less here is my newest blog post :)
The Travel Soho brush kit! Ok lets face it anything this small is cute, anything pink is cute and the little travel case is cute! Now I actually must give my dad the credit for finding this and talking me into getting it. If not for him I wouldn't have noticed it. The small travel kit includes: a gel eyeliner brush, liquid foundation brush, eye shadow brush, concealer brush,and they say it is a blush brush but I personally use it has a power foundation brush. The metal party of each brush is hot pink and the case is simply black and white.
The powder foundation/ blush brush
It is a nice size, and applies well very nice not once have I had any of the bristles fall out of the brush.
Liquid Foundation Brush
The brush is really nice applies the foundation well and doesn't a cakey look to the foundation. Very smooth finish also.
Concealer brush
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! I seriously can not rave about this one brush enough. It applies so well and you don't have to use the little wand that come with the concealer and it looks so much better! really liking this one.
Shadow brush
Very nice brush, it is smooth when applying the eye shadow, and leaves a clean look. A nice perk for me at least it that come of my eyeshadow brushes tend to lose the eyeshadow as I apply it to my eye, with this brush that does not happen, so really like this brush.
Gel eyeliner brush
I personally do not use gel eyeliner, so being honest with you I couldn't tell you if this brush is nice or not. With eyeliner I use liquid or pencil. But I am just taking a wild guess that this is a nice brush as well and this it would get the job done.
Travel case
I like the travel case a lot. It is small enough that you can put it in your purse, or suitcase, makeup bag and it takes up no room at all. Each brush fits in nicely and you still have a good bit of room left over, I was able to get a nice size lip gloss in the travel case with all the brushes in it. So I give high remarks for it
As you can see each brush is a nice size and easy to you, also applies well. I give this product a two thumbs up :)
