Forever 21 V-Back Gold Sequened Dress



Now, here is a totally cute New Year's Eve outfit:

The holidays are all about sparkle! And what's better to say that than sophisticated gold?

4. Papaya Zip-Up Leatherette Black Jacket
(Only the leather jacket in this image is featured.)

NEW! Outfits & More...

Hey guys, so I've been inspired to create an outfits section, where I'll keep a record of the cute outfits that I post. Feel free to post your own ideas for cute outfits in the comments section. You can view the page on the tab or here: Outfits and Style
I also encourage you to look at Hollister's lookbook. They have tons of super super cute outfits!!! Hollister Bettys So Cal Looks

Here are some for sample:

Just Fab Top 3 Heels

Ready for another Top 3 post???
Here it is! Just Fab Heels!
This one is perfect for classic, stylish, feminine shoes for parties, special events, and it will go with most things in your closet: Just Fab Charla Nude Pumps
The second pair can work for a more variety of occasions, from an everyday look with jeans, to a perfect accent to a black party dress: Just Fab Coraline Black Booties
 
The final shoe is also super cute. I picture wearing this one with like a winter coat, or a loose American Eagle dolmen sleeve top because the shearling gives a kind of bohemian-style, or winter cozy look: Just Fab Samira Tan Bootie
So, from that Top 3 post, you can probably tell that I love shoe booties, they're one of my favorite things to pair with casual or classy outfits.

Juicy Couture Gold Headband

As you probably know, Juicy Couture is one of the most expensive places out there. A lot of their stuff is super cute, though, so if you don't have 35$ to spend on a headband, I would recommend just shopping around different places to find something similar.
This headband is really cool, though. It's gold chain woven with a strip of white leather.

Here's one example of a really similar headband, only 3.80$ from Forever 21.

Happy shopping!

Hollister Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans. A staple in every girl's closet. I've struggled with finding the right pair many a time before, and the only place I buy jeans now is Hollister.
So here are some of my favorites:
Hollister Super Skinny Jeans Rinse
Girls Hollister Super Skinny Jeans 
  Of course you're also probably in on the trend of colored jeans as well. My advice is buy a pair that won't clash with the majority of the things you own. For me that color was orange, though I still can't wear it with everything.

Trend: Knit Sweaters

Hello!
You probably own a knit sweater yourself... they're totally in. And they keep you nice and cozy and warm. After looking at many a sweater, I found this one which is super cute:
Abercrombie & Fitch Pamela Shine Sweater Light Gray
Womens Pamela Shine Sweater
Stay warm!

H&M Basic Tops

Hey guys,
So personally, I have a lot of cute sweaters and jackets and hoodies and stuff that I often find are too bulky over a fashion top with dolmen sleeves or something. That's why I found myself in need of some simple, plain colored, not-too-tight not-too-loose short sleeved tops.
As I've said before, brand name places usually aren't the best place to buy basics, you're better off at like Macy's, Nordstrom, or Old Navy. But actually when I was shopping, I found exactly what I was looking for at H&M.
The things that are in the H&M store are often very different from the things on their website, so I wasn't able to find the garment that I bought online, but this was the closest thing to it:
H&M Basic Short-Sleeve Top
This one is a little more fitted, and it's made of a stretchier material, but you get the idea.
Try to buy it in colors that match your wardrobe; I bought mine in maroon/burgundy and navy, but other good ones are like black, white, or beige.

Bath and Body Works Winter Scents

Hey guys!
One of my favorite things to do during the holidays, is light candles! Bath and Body Works is a great place to get some candles, because they have warm and cozy scents and they aren't very expensive.
This here is a mini candle for only 3.50$. I have this one and I especially love the smell; some of the candles that I tried when I was in the store were awful, but if you keep looking, you're sure to find one you like. Personally, I'm not into the super sweet smells, or the food ones. Fruit is okay though. I tend to go with one that's like woodsy or has a home-like cozy smell.
Twinkling Night 1.3 oz. Mini Candle
 I also really love using perfume and things like hand cream, shower gel, or body lotion that have good smells. Here's one that smells just like apples, and it has winter undertones too, perfect for the holidays!
Winter Candy Apple Body Lotion
Hope you enjoyed these holiday gift ideas (for yourself or others!).
Happy Holidays!

Winter Coats

Hey, so with this cold weather coming up here, I've found two great, stylish jackets to wear.
The first one is a black puffer jacket from Aeropostale: Small Channel Lightweight Puffer Jacket

It's fitted and absolutely adorable!

The second one is from Hollister: Bettys Moor Park Jacket in Navy
Girls Moor Park Jacket
 This one is good if you don't like the puffy look, and it also has a faux fur-lined hood, which is great when it's especially cold.
Thanks and hope this helped!

Trend: EOS Chapstick

So a new trend I've noticed out there, is EOS chapstick. I have the pink one myself, and am very pleased with it. (It smells really good, too.) You can find them at most beauty stores, or here: Ulta EOS Lip Balm Strawberry Sorbet at Ulta.

That's all,

UGG Boots

Hey everyone,
So I'm sure that all of you are familiar with the brand UGG Australia. They're kind of pricy, and you can find some knock offs at different places, but the quality isn't the same.
I've recently bought the Womens Lattice Cardy in Charcoal. I'm really enjoying it:

Or you can also go for the simple Womens Classic Short in the original Chestnut:

But whether you go classic or modern, the most important thing with UGGs is to take care of them. There's more information on how to do that on their website.
Enjoy,

Trend: Yoga Pants

Something totally cute to wear: yoga pants. I see a lot of people wearing them with like a cute sweater, or tunic top, or rolled up with Converse. Regular leggings can work too, but they might not have the same support as running or yoga pants. You might be able to get them at simple places like Fred Meyer, or Macy's and they might be a lot cheaper, but here are some cute ones:
Victoria's Secret: Yoga Legging
 
Nike: Legend Tight Fit
 
In my experience, black is the best, most basic color, but gray would also work. Try not to get stuff with too much writing or color in it though, because then it looks like you're just wearing tights, or skirt leggings instead of work out pants.
