Modern Vintage Girl

Hello pretty girls! I hope you all are taking advantage of your last days of summer, I sure am! Here is a quick casual, afternoon summer outfit of the day. I love to take vintage pieces and make them modern. What is the vintage piece I'm wearing you might ask? Exactly, if you can't tell I have succeeded ;-)! It is the floral top! I found this gem in my mother's closet, from ages ago. Isn't it stunning? The key to modernize this top was to remove the over-sized shoulder pads and roll up the long sleeves. Voila, easy and chic! So scavenge your family's closet, you will never know what treasures you will find! ♥ Laura

♥ Sister Date ♥

Hello pretty girls! I hope you all are having an amazing summer! I went to a fun event at Tootsies to benefit my school department and I invited my sister to join me. Norma and I felt like true fashionistas and decided to dress trendy and flirty. We had a blast window shopping, networking, and then dining at Pondicheri, an Indian restaurant. This restaurant was unexpectedly delicious, I highly recommend it if you are desiring to try something new.

Summer Fun with Special Guests!

Hello crafty girls!

Summer is finally here! I am excited about it, but I do have a love/hate relationship with it. I love the flowers booming and the fun outdoor activities, but I also strongly dislike the heat! As you can tell by my pale skin color, the sun is not my friend! Nonetheless, the break we get in the summertime is amazing, so that makes up for it! To initiate summer, I have some special guests. Who are the lovely ladies here you might ask? Well, I want to introduce to you all my sister and friend. I know you are probably figuring out which one is which, but you will be surprised! My sister, Norma, is the beautiful brunette in the purple dress. So now it brings me to my awesome friend Madeline. She has her own blog now (yeyyy), so you all can check her out to view her amazing bohemian style!

It has been a long time since I have blogged or made a YouTube video and I have definitely missed it. Now that it is summer, I want to revamp my blog and YouTube. I have a lot of fashion ideas, so I hope you all like it! Have a fashionable summer pretty girls ♥

DIY: Decorate Your Shoes

Hello crafty girls! I'm so excited about this new DIY because it is very dear to me. Why is that you might ask? Well, this is THE project that made me decide to actually start a blog and a YouTube channel! So why did it take me so long to make and post it? Well I'm such a perfectionist and now with more experience and savvy technical skills acquired, I was finally able to make the video I envisioned!! So I hope you all enjoy it!

Decorating and personalizing your shoes is much simpler than you might think! With just a little bit of creativity you can make infinite designs that will wow your friends! You will get allot of, "Where did you get your shoes"? Then you can proudly respond, "Oh these, I designed them myself ;-)".  Awesome right!? It is also a great project for summer because let's face it, going back to school is all about new shoes, clothes, supplies, etc. So why not get a head start on a pair (or two) of newly designed shoes right?! I hope you try it out and have a crafty summer!! ♥ 

 

Get Spring/Summer Fashion Ready!

The warm weather is around the corner and it's always exciting to bring in the new season with new fun fashion pieces. Buying new goodies shouldn't have to break the piggy bank; my tip is to choose to refresh your wardrobe with accessories. They can be used with anything and bring a new life to your old summer outfits!

* Jewelry is the least expensive way to jazz up your wardrobe! Get very trendy, bright, statement pieces. I usually don't recommend buying very trendy pieces because they go out of style very quickly, but I do with accessories, so choose jewelry as your “over the top” trendy pieces!

* Scarves are fun because you can bring in color and texture to your spring outfit! You can also wear them in infinite ways!

* Try inexpensive clutches and handbags to use as a statement piece! Brights are in, and you can find them everywhere!

* Shoes are a great wardrobe transformer as well. They might be a little pricier then the accessories preciously mentioned, but try a cute neutrals or brown style that you can match with everything. Also, a cute funky ballet flat style is perfect and less of an investment!

* I saved this one for last because it’s my favorite! Try a pop of color on you face! Go wild and try a hot pink lipstick! If you’re not a lipstick person you can add a pop of color on your eyes with a bright eyeliner, or eye shadow; or even try pink glowing cheeks!

As you can see there are many ways to bring in spring! So enjoy the new season gals!!
