school year prep

Everybody wants to impress people when they come back to school. Look at my great tan! Look at my awesome new hair cut! With my easy to-do you don't need a trip to the beach or salon, you'll just look great.

Tip No. 1- Nails

Okay, I can just feel all those not-so-girly girls rolling their eyes. Many people choose to not paint their nails and many people do, but what you choose is what what counts. Either way, you have no excuse to have badly kept nails. Any easy way to keep your nails healthy is to buy a mini manicure bag, that you could slip in your backpack or keep in your bathroom.

I have this one: Image Maker





It has all the basics and it has a nice waterproof case, I found mine in a shop in downtown Hanover, I tried to find it online but nothing looked right, sorry.







Tip No. 2- Skin

Summer can be a good or bad time of year for your skin. The summer heat can make your skin oily and applying sunscreen (please apply, anyway) can fill your pores.

I like this scrub, it has no acids, and helps take away all the sunscreen in your pores.


St. Ives Pore Clearing  Scrub, $3.00-$5.00 at drugstores




Trick: to minimize blemishes pull your hair back in a ponytail or put on an elastic headband when you go to bed, it helps keep hair out of your face.









Tip No. 3- Taming the beast (a.k.a hair)

Hair can become dry and practically un-manageable from the summer heat, easy solution? Moisture, that also repairs split ends. I got this in my Easter basket (is somebody try trying to tell me something?), and the best part is you can apply it to your hair dry, and helps you style your hair. Need a high ponytail without fly-ways? Check!

Neutrogena Triple Moisture,  $7.00 dollars at drugstores




Try out some new hair styles as well, like a higher pony or a fish net braid!











Get ready for school now, dahlings. By school everyone will be like, "wow, {insert name here} you look amazing!"

out to lunch

I love bringing my own food to school, it helps the planet! I love my Built lunchbox and Klean Kanteen, I have had my Built for 2 years and my Klean Kanteen for less then one, now all of my friends have them too! 

Built is a company that make lunch boxes, computer and camera cases, plus many other colorful and cheery stuff! They are Eco conscious (no need for those brown paper lunch bags any more!) and are made of durable neoprene. Neoprene is the fabric commonly used in scuba diver suits because it keeps things insulated and warm, but for lunches, cold! 

 I have this one! 

builtny.com  $25.00




Next on my list is water, 'cause you couldn't possibly go thirsty, right? 

I love, love, love my klean kanteen (besides the spelling, har har) 

They are stainless steel and and come in many sizes and colors! I have a purple one but I like this color too! :D 

kleankanteen.com $18.00-$26.00

When all else fails, be bright

I will not have a bland and boring summer. Color is a friend! Neons are a pal! And any nail color that will catch a few looks, is a bestie! I love summer!

I love having the time to organize and buy cool things for next year. Have a great time this summer and spend the day realizing the cool things that summer has to offer! When shopping I like to buy pieces that you can wear with anything, it is an instant way to make your wardrobe bigger and your outfits more unique! Uniqueness rules! Be creative!

Colorful things I like...

for/under $5.00-ish



Flowers are bright and spunky! These remind me slightly of Marc Jacobs Daisy and Lola perfumes.

fredflare.com     $4.99 for a set of 3







For/under $10.00-ish


   Neon Yellow Aviators! They are SWEET! And not a bad price at all!


forever21.com               $5.80

Forever 21 is an okay brand, they don't always have the best quality, but if you need a pair of cheap glasses why not neon?



For/under $15.00-ish




  These are cool colors! There is also neon orange, green and yellow. NEON IS AWESOME!


americanapparel.com      $15.00 for a pack of 3






p.s. check out these hooks I got for my room!


I am planning to put them up for sweaters, bags and hats in room!

 Insta-organization!

Good ol' Betty

Calling all girls who like to be both fashionable and have an AMAZING time outside! Here is a perfect match!

 I love hanging out outside, I love to bike and hike and see the cool things nature has to offer! Betty Moutain Girl is all about the outdoors but with a fun, noncompetitive edge. Meaning no, "I climbed this mountain, in your face" sort of thing. She has great reviews on gear and has amazing widgets to put on blogs (check out the side bar!)

Very rough and tumble!

colorful items for spring

Hats are WAY to big for spring. Some might disagree but honey, there is nothing better than spring skiing without one.  

But here is what I do L-O-V-E about this time of year...

HEADBANDS!
 
Skida is a company owned and started by a Middlebury College cross country skier named Corinne Prevot who decided to make hats for her friends. Now the company is bigger and has a wide range of fun and cool hats, headbands and neckwarmers! They are perfect for both cold and warm weather because they come in both fleece-lined and just lycra. (The one above is not fleece lined) 


The headband above is really cool because it is sponcering Liz Stevenson who is a nordic skier who has been on the US National Cross Country Ski Team since 2006. 


SKIDA has an amazing selection of paterns and colors that really brighten up the day! There is non- Friends of Liz headbands too! 


Check out the website: http://www.skidasport.com/


p.s 


follow by blog! all you have to do is put in your email in the bar on the side!

Spring=color over dose

Spring is here. Yah. Not so much where I am. It rains and you are under the impression and then the next day it snows! It's like Mother Nature is saying, "Gotcha!"

Color is BIG this spring and I cannot stress this enough. The pictures  I am showing below are some of the most iconic brands in the biz, they really are fantastic. Expensive? Yah. But I can dream can't I?

Have a look, my pretties...



Marc Jacobs 
J.Crew

Louis Vuitton                                   














See what I mean? Everyone loves color! Speaking of color.... i am lovin' these! 

Made exclusivly by Sperry for J.Crew. In other cool colors as well, such as black, cream and a mellonish orangish color.

Hope you enjoy!
