I'm a Maxxinista

You may be a fashionista but you would be stupid to buy the same thing at a department store for triple the price when you could be saving tons at TJMaxx! I love TJMaxx and Marshalls, they always have good clothing from trusted brands and a lower price. Not only do they have shoes, bags, scarves, and clothing, they also have jewelry, cooking and kitchen supplies, furniture, bedroom accessories, children's clothing and toys, male ware, and so much more! You can go there for almost anything, sure some stuff may be a bit too high priced but when you are saving more than half of what you would spend somewhere else it pays off in the end. You can go to these stores for any need, and you'll always be within budget and come out looking fashionable! So become a Maxxinsita and go get one of their "Club cards" and start saving!!!

Rice Grain with Name in a Bottle

  

I saw that one of my friends had a cell phone charm of a tiny bottle with a tiny flower and rice grain with her name on it in the bottle. It was the cutest thing I've seen! I asked her to help me order one from the website she ordered hers from but then I had an epiphany! I remembered that I had a fairly small glass bottle that has a loop at the top to have it attach to a chain. I quickly searched for a tiny flower in my front yard, luckily I had some weeds growing in the planter strip, cut a flower, found a nicely shaped grain of rice, got a fine tipped Sharpie, and wrote "CHEL" because "Chelsea" wouldn't fit, I plopped them into the bottle, asked my dad from some clear oil and he found me some mineral oil and then... TA DA! I had my very own, homemade, rice grain with my name in a bottle necklace! All I need to do is take a trip to my local craft store and purchase a few bottles and start a business!

Stripes on Side of Hair: Men

     


I'm not sure what they are called, but I call them racing stripes or mishaps with the razor. Anyone know what they are called? I really don't like this style and I always see it! The guys who I see it on are the ones with the VANS, basketball shorts and flat rimmed hats, so... the douchey kind of guys. This, "style" of haircut is growing and fast! Not all girls will fall for this look and trust me there are many, many girls who agree with my opinion. So a suggestion for your own good, don't get this.

Half Shaves Hair Style???

   

On girls this is really... weird. It just looks like you couldn't finish what Britney Spears did. Do they can or know how long that is going to take to grow back?! Oh and then the race stripes on the shaved part, that is just ridiculous. Shaved hair doesn't really work out for girls... besides the occasional girl that pulls it off. If you are considering doing something drastic like this to your head, rethink it! There are simple ways to get the same hairstyle and look. Flip your hair over to one side, creating a waterfall-like look on the flipped side, especially if you have layers, and then the other side is "flatter". Braiding also can create the desired look, simply do a tight french braid or fishtail, that is obviously connected to your scalp, or clip it to look like it is, and you'll get the same look.

Anchors Over!

          

This pattern is EVERYWHERE! I love the idea of it; simple, creative, elegant and cute. This little item can be in earrings, necklaces, scarves, shirts, dresses, hats, tights, socks and shoes! It also works for both male and female styles. In a way it has a slight vintage sense to it, am I right? This is super sailor style, of course and that is a growing trend. And I always associate anything sailor with navy blue, I wonder if that is where it go it's name? Someone else could have made that connection too and named the color navy blue. Well off on another adventure to the next style "island", until then, Ahoy mateys!!!

No Sweatshirts Everyday

 

Don't wear a sweatshirt of a college that you'll never get into, or a plain sweatshirt EVERYDAY! It is super annoying especially when girls do this, they think that they are some cool shit and will fit in and be liked by the guys... good luck with that. And give the "Diamond Supply Co." a rest dudes. Just bottom line, don't wear a sweatshirt everyday, where a sweater, jacket, leather jacket, something different! Oh wait, and the, "Oregon Ducks, YEAH", no... no.

Bandana Headbands

    

As long as you stay away from gang colors then this style is all yours! Now, you don't want to cover all of your head and hair with the bandana so fold it a few times and tie it at the ends. You can choose to have the knot or bow at the top or hidden under your hair. There are many different patterns and I suggest staying away from the traditional pattern because it is associated with gangs.

Short Hair Is In

       

Weather it is a bob or a pixie cut, it's in! Short hair is all the rage in 2012. It seems to have all started with Emma Watson's pixie cut after the Harry Potter Movie series finished filming. And following in her footsteps, many other celebs have cut it all off. Rihanna, Vanessa Hudgens, Chelsea Kane, Keira Knightley, and many more. Now you can easily get the short hair look without cutting it off; just do what Taylor Swift does when she wants a change in style. She simply pins up her curls by folding her hair under and securing it in place, but this may need some assistance. And if you're thinking of cutting your hair short, rethink it or cut a few inches off at a time so you can get use to shorter hair and get the sense of what it will be like.
