When the money is low....spread it out

So I know that not everyone has an infinite amount of money to go shopping and buy everything we want. This includes me. Money is a little tight for me right now, so for the new years, I am going to try to spend my money wiser. Here are a few tips that I thought of that might help

1. Spend in only cash

- by doing this, you are making yourself use only the money you have on you. Want that $60 dress? Only if you have $60 on you. It is a great way to spend more wisely and exactly know how much you are spending.

2. Sell you clothing

- there are plenty of resell shops that will buy your clothing for cash or credit. Just for help, if you like shopping at the resell shop, take the credit if you are going to use the money for shopping. It will go farther than cash. Otherwise, cash is the easy way to go.

3. Reuse

- Buying clothes at a vintage or thrift store can be fun. Go to the Goodwill, sometimes you can find some of the coolest things there if you really dig around. And location is everything. So instead of going to a thrift store in a bad neighborhood, go to one near a lot of big stores. when things don't sell, some stores will give it to the thrift stores. Another tip is that some vintage stores can get pricey so beware.

4. DIY

- Some of the funnest things to do is to take your old clothing and re-invent it. Take some scissors and take those old jeans and make them into shredded ones or to a pair of shorts. The possibilities are endless. You could also take a boring cardigan and changes the buttons and it gives it new life.

5. Swap

- A fun get together with the friends is a swap party. Take all the clothing that you don't want anymore and swap it with your friends.

I hope these tips were helpful for all of you to help with those tight budgets.

New Years Sparkle

Hello everyone,

So here is a face of the day. I am thinking of making a make-up tutorial for you guys with this look. If you are interested please tell me in the comments. Have a great day.

Urban Outfitters wish list

So,

For Christmas I got a $100 gift card for Urban Outfitters. If you have ever shopped at the store, you will know that $100 doesn't really go that far. But I really want to stretch that money. Here a few of the items that I would like to get from there.

A girl that I admire...but other may not

So,

Some of you may know that I like Miley Cyrus style. Other may not because they think it is very different from what she wore when she was a young teenager. I would wear some of this...but I am not physically in shape like that but I am working on it. So here are are a few of the outfits that i really like. And yes I know that these are more of her party/concert clothing.

Hello everyone

So one day I was searching my iphone for new apps that were fashion related and came across this one. It is similar to lookbook, but kind of different. I have added a photo on there.

Haul

Hey everyone,

Long time since I have been on here last. I am truly sorry about that, however, life is pretty hectic right now. I am trying to balance school, work, and college apps. If I get any free time, I try to give it to myself being lazy. However, I thought I owed it to you guys to post a post today. Yesterday I bought a few things.

I got three magazines. I got NYLON, Elle, and Marie Claire. I haven't read them deeply yet but they look amazing. I also love that Megan Fox is on the cover of elle. I love Megan Fox. I also bought the Maybelline Falsies Mascara. I actually wore it today. So far for a mini review, the mascara is pretty good. there were no clumps, and it didn't flake off. It also made my lashes look longer. Didn't look that much thicker to me though.

I will talk to you guys later. bye bye!!!

My Pratt portfolio review

Hey everyone,
So on Friday, I had a Pratt portfolio review with someone from admissions. It was a way for me to know what I needed to work on before I actually submit my portfolio to the school. One of the things that she had told me is that I need to work on my figure drawing, and how I draw my clothes. I totally agree with her. So she recommended me this book called 9 Heads. Hopefully this well help me improve. The book itself is kinda pricey, I paid $101. I know I could of gotten if for cheaper if I bought it online, however, I need to move away from online shopping. I don't really want to pay for shipping anymore.

well I will talk to you guys later. bye!! <3

FASHION NIGHT OUT 2010

(will i am)

( at beni hanas after, wore the blazer that I bought that day)

Fashion Night Out was Amazing!!!

I loved it and was glad that I went. I went to the beverly center today around 4pm and went shopping with my sister and her friend. There were so many clothes that I was in love with a lot of things, however, I don't have the money for all of them. There were few celebrities there including Will-i-am and Prez Hilton, however I didn't know some of them. Supposedly the Jonas Brothers were there and so was Taylor Swift, but I didn't see them :(. I also got to take a picture with a model from ANTM. However I can't remember her name. ( In the comments, if you know her name please write it, thanks). There was a fashion show, and it was amazing. Only bummer was that I was on the top level of the mall, and the show was on the bottom, so I was looking above not getting the best view and could hardly get a good place to stand. I will have to say that I would do this next year, it was just a great experience and I felt like I was taking part in a global event, since fashion night out was happening all over the globe. Next year, hopefully I will go to fashion night out in New York.

So, after this experience and seeing the fashion show and the models, I am really thinking of modeling. I mean in the picture with the ANTM model, I am wearing flats, and she was wearing heals. I am 5'9", so I think I am tall enough. I just need to loose about 20 lbs or more. So hopefully that will work out. I will try to keep you posted. ttyl. bye bye!!

Hopefully I will take some pictures. ttyl. bye!!

So at the moment, I really want to go on a shopping spree at urban outfitters. They have this new collection of designer jewelry that are from $80-$200 dollars, and they are all amazing. Here are a few of my favorites. I wish I made more money so I could buy these!!!
