Saving Money....
Well I told you I would have lots of posts because of the all holy Teen Vogue! So this article in it called Night Moves is about how to save money with prom and the tips were from some of the most stylish supermodels. Well some of you may be going but we aren't old enough, but these tips are still good for any occasion, I think.
- Vintage shops and second-hand shops are great! (No one will have what you are wearing)
- Get an item with super-cool fabric or print cheap that may not fit and get it tailored to your liking.
- "Mix and match for a complete look" -Chanel Iman
- Something simple can look ten times more expensive with a great pair of shoes and awesome accessories
- Accessories make the perfect investment pieces
What the heck are these, you ask?
Well, these are David Foote Marianella soaps. I know your thinking "holy cow! designer soap?!" but these are $20 at http://davidfootestudiostore.com. And believe me something this divine and pristine is a smart product thats worth every penny. They are not only mega-fab and awesome but they are for a good cause too! Your money goes to benefit St. Judes Children's hospital!! AND they are 100% natural!! Help your skin, children, and the environment all at once!!
Headbands
Headbands are the perfect accessory!

Yayyy!!!!!!
Yayyy!!!! My new Teen Vogue just got here and obviously I am extremely happy about it as I always am. So be prepared for extra posts on our opinions and Fashion Forecasts and tips that we acquired from the magazine! Yay!
So I really liked our runway look this week and I was thinking and I was like, woah! I can do it with my own twist! I raided my closet and.... Ta da! The sweater is from American Eagle, the skirt is from the Gap, the tights are from Urban Outfitters and the the knee socks are from American Eagle. So obviously it's not designer, but the look is right off the runway! <3>
This quote...
"It's not what you wear, but how."
-Alexander Wang
We absolutely love this quote because it is sooo true. Like you can wear one shirt in so many ways. And the quote is also perfect for our blog since we are all about saving money. Because your closet can be full of expensive designer stuff, but that doesn't mean you'll look amazing all the time. Chic is when you can do a lot with a little. It's all about putting the same stuff together in tons of different ways so you always look amazing and new. Accessories are key because with different pieces you can make an outfit look like it's worth 1,000 bucks, and it's smart to invest in staple pieces that you'll wear all the time. Like don't spend $400 on a dress you'll wear once. Because that's stupid and you know it. Unless it's for some major event. In that case, you go out there and get something so amazing that everyone will stare at you with envy : )

The Best Thing to Happen to Your Nails

Paint & Peel nail polish!!! So I found out about this nail polish a while ago and I was like, woah. This it the best freaking idea ever.

And the polish comes in great colors! I will be ordering Navy soon and I'll tell you how it works! I'm so excited!
Face Mask Recipes
Ok so here are the face mask recipes that I promised a few days ago:
Oatmeal Smoothie: Mix 3 tablespoons of old-fashion (not instant), uncooked, oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt into a paste and pat on your face. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse it off and pat dry.
Papaya Mask: Lightly mash half a papaya in a bowl with a fork or your fingers. Rub the papaya over your face. Let the fruit dry for about 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry.
Banana Mash Mask: Mash one ripe banana in a bowl with a fork. (Don't over mash it or it'll be to runny.) Mix in one teaspoon of honey. Spread the mask onto your face and let it sit for 10 minutes. Rinse clean with lukewarm water and pat dry.
