Day 17. Get Yo Jegging on!

Haha just say the word jegging. Jegging, jegging, jegging jegging. First of all it's so fun to say. Second of all holy fetch I love jeggings with my whole heart.
I've never been one to love jeans. I mean I love them, I think they're cute and all, but just not the comfiest thing right on earth?!.. That's why they invented..
JEGGINGS!
a.k.a. jean+legging=jegging.
At first I was like really not knowing what to think about the whole jegging thing. Like yeah, they're cute on freaking skinny minnie girls, but heck no on this booty.
Jeggings have come a long way though. Since they first came out they have gotten pockets, zippers- I mean like they're legit pants, not in uncomfortable jean material.

When you first put the jegging on, it feels like everybody knows they're not jeans. It feels like everyone is staring at your A. Honest truth, they have no idea they're not jean material, and they aren't even staring at yo booy. And if they are, it's because it looks poppin home girl!
A little self-consciousness is expected to the first time jegging wearer.. but after that you probably won't take them off. Seriously. SO COMFY. And wayy easy to wear with anything. Anything you would normally wear with jeans! And super easy to tuck into boots or whatev. When I'm wearing my jeggings I seriously feel so free. Like and I can just leap around and sing. Haha, okay maybe that's weird but they're mmm-ay-zing. WOOTx4!

So I got some just plain black mossimo jeggings at target for like 20$ I loved them, until I washed and dried them. They got really pillish.. like little balls all over them..You know what I'm talkin about? Yeah, so that was lame. Maybe I just suck at laundry, which is a deifinite possibility. Anyways, here's what they look like. The material is a little different than normal, feeling more like cloth. Just be careful about the washing instructions and don't be an idiot like Lexi.

 See they look like black jeans, but feel so much better!























I recently got some Denimocracy jeggings, which are probably the most amazing jeggins I've ever witnessed. They look almost leather, but are just fabric. Yummy. LOVE THEM.
They carry them at Dillard's and Madison Los Angeles, and, welp that's it. They are definitely more expensive than the reg. price of jeggies, from about $60-100 buckaroos. You will wear every single dollar out of them. The denimocracy jeggings really just look like skinny jeans, and they have so many cool washes. You won't regret buying these puppies.

My second suggestion for an amazing jegging, is YMI brand. Every jegging they carry is $38 dollas. They look more just like jeans, but are super stretchy. I got some of a darker denim wash and am obsessed. They literally don't feel like jeans at all, but look just like jeans. They're like jeans in a world of smiley faces and unicorns.. if you can imagine how amazing jeans would be in that world.
Here's the linky, seriously get some. Please. They're amazing.

These are the ones I have^ I'm obsessed.

Bloggers, get yo jeggin' on!

Day 19!

My Days aren't off if you were wondering. I count today, and Christmas day. So there. Haha I got a little confused the other day and whipped out my handy dandy calender, and yep!
ANYWAYSSSSSS, today I'm going to blog about..
the MILITARY slash COMBAT LACE-UP BOOT
Sounds.. manish right? Or ugly? Or just weird? NOPE. I'm currently in LOVE with the military boot look. I'll take them shorter or taller, don't matta to me! At first glance you start to think.. what will I ever wear with those? The thing is.. anything! I know I say that a lot, but I mean it when I say it. The beauty of trends and fashion right now is, you can pretty much mix and match anything, and it's totally fab. I mean, you gotta know where to draw the lines, (get it? I drew a line through it hehe) but pretty much it's just one big wear whatever you want and rock it fad right now!
Back to the boots.
So I love the shorter lace-up boot because they look ADORABLE with a precious dainty little sock. Once again, sounds so weird. NOPE, it's not. Shorter socks are in right now. I think it's hilarious because when I was younger I had a pair of these kind of socks for every outfit. Member the socks with the little ruffles that you folded over at the top? Yep, wore those to church every Sunday. It's just great. You know what kind of socks I'm talking about now, don't you? Yeah, those kind. Ruffles or no ruffles. Please and thanks.

If you are wanting the taller boots, once again, love them. These can be worn with higher socks/tights whatev. If you wanna wear sockies, tuck your pants into the socks before puttin on yo boots. I mostly would go for the mid-height ones, because they are a lot more versatile than the super tall ones. My favorite thing to do with the mid-height is
1. Lace them up most of the way. 2. Take the laces wrap them completely around the boot, then back around to the front. 3. Then tie. 4. Cutest thing ever. It makes them look more casual, and just chillish.

Don't feel weird wearing these, everybody loves them.. they just might not know it yet.
If you get some that have a softer, flimsier leather, fold them over at top. However much you want. Super cute.
They also make tons of cute ones with like sockish material sewed in, or fur- love them, especially for the folding over.
The one thing I have noticed about mine is there are not very comfortable at first. The first day I wore mine my feet killed after. It's because the soles are so structured and they're a shape my foot isn't used to.. I fink. They break in pretty fast, so don't stop wearing them if yo feet hurt afta tha first time! Ya'll get whaa I'm spittin at chu?



They come in all shapes and sizes, different colors, some with a little heel, some with major heels, go for what fits your style best. The ones you think you'll wear most.
This look is totally just about rockin them your way, whatever that way is.

I'm glad we could have this talk.
Till tomorrow loves!

Whoopsies.. Days 21 & 20

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I did a research paper all day. BOO! Please forgive me my friends. Tell me you still love me!

DAY 20
SEBASTIAN SHAPER PLUS HAIRSPRAY
My ALL TIME favorite hairspray in the world. I'm a hairspray addict. Like I think I get high off of it cause I use so freakin much. Happens when you gotta fro ya know. Gotta tame that shiz! Anyways try it out.


DAY 21
MATTE LIPSTICK
I"m so into the no shine, just pale, lighter colors right now. I love the nude/pale pink color! Matte lipstick gives such a pretty color! It's just so naturalish, not really dramatic.
Revlon has a whole line of matte lipsticks that I love. My favorite is Pink Pout. It's the perfect pink color, not too Nicki Minaj, but still different. Ya feel me?! The Revlon lipsticks are pretty, and go on well, but after a little while they do get kinda chalky or cakey. MAC has a line of matte lipsticks that are awesome too. If you just wanna try out the matte look, get the Revlon one first- it's only like 6$. If you love it, go for the MAC.
 Ahhh pure love. Don't be afraid to wear lipstick. It sounds kinda grandmaish sometimes, but really they just are such a different color than any lip gloss can give you.

                 pwetty pwetty. love this one^

P.s. You can always put a little lip gloss on top of the lipstick if you want a little shine!

Day 22

LIQUID EYELINER
Don't you just hate it when a few hours after putting on your make-up you look in the mirror and your eyeliner is all saggy. Haha, k weird word, but you get what I'm sayin right? Like it falls down, gets smeary blah blah. Well now you don't have to worry about that happening ever again! I think people get scared when the hear the word "liquid" before eyeliner. The reality is, don't get scurred! Surriously!

Tips to applying LIQUID eyeliner hollerable.
1. Get really close to a mirror
2. I like to rest my elbow on the counter, so I can make-sure I get a really straight line.
3. Just go right along the lash line, as close as possible.
4. After applied across the whole lid, make it thicker if you're feelin it.
5. Please bless you do a little cat eye action! I mean you're putting on liquid eyeliner anyways, might as well make it way fetchin! This is also really easy, if you want a little cat eye, aka, wing- at the end of your straight line along the lid, make a quick curved, upward motion. Even just a little wing opens up the eye and makes your lashes look thicker. It doesn't have to be massive, just pretty and really girly.

Obviously if you want a really good liquid eyeliner, the more the pay the better it will be. I have found one that is super cheap that I love though! You can find it at Wal-Mart or Target, it's called Glam Eyes and its the Rimmel London brand. It's at the most, like 5$. I like it because it's not too thick, and isn't a pain to get off at night. They also have it in some crazy colors, but of course, I prefer the black.

Also, if you are still sketched out try the felt tip eyeliners. They are just like a marker, and super easy to draw a straight line with! I've found the cheaper ones dry out really fast, so if you want one of these definitely go for quality!

Try it out! You won't regret it!!
till tomorrow,
xoxo

Day 23

ballerina buns

Don't tell me it's not the cutest thing ever when someone can rock a ballerina bun on top of their head. I am  obsessed, and jealous of anyone who looks half decent while rocking it! It's so chic, yet casual at the same time. I'm not gonna lie, I love to wear ballerina buns, regardless of how I look. You should do it too! You'll get compliments you've probably never got before. This guy told me I had a great jaw-line while I was rockin thaaa bun. Never got that one, but hey I'll take it- Ya dig?! So go for it, and tell me how it goes!
Some tips for a marvelous bun:
1. Go upside down, as if you were gonna do a pony on top of your head, literally like the very top of your head, or ever a little closer to the front.
2. Come back up, holding your hair in place, really tight.
(If you're worried it won't stay in then put it in a pony first) Start to twist hair around, but make it as loose as possible, so its not like slicked back hard core bun status. After wrapping it around, wrap elastic around base of bun.
3. If it's still too perfect pull some pieces out, or just kinda loosen it so it looks thicker.
4. HOLLER! Throw on some red lips, or some bright blush. You'll look flawless.


P.s. If you feel adventurous go for the braided ballerina bun. LOVE it!
XOXO
