Bonus Blog: Halloween Costumes

Every Halloween, my school dresses up and we all sport out a Halloween Costume.  Sounds very 'elementary school' but it is actually fun getting to dress up again, and let me tell you- some kids go all out.  Whether or not your school dresses up, you may find yourself in need of a costume for parties, trick or treating, or in my case- school.  

I put together three simple outfit ideas for Halloween.  I tried to make the outfits have mostly items you would find at home- but a couple of the things would probably need to be purchased- for a very low price.

Outfit #1 Black Cat

You probably already have black leggings, a black tank, any black shoes (I chose Uggs), red nail polish, and maybe a black bow or tattoo choker (as those are in right now).  For this look, the only thing you may need to invest in are cat ears, and possibly some face paint.  I love this look because wearing all black is the way to go, and the red nails add for a nice pop.

Outfit #2 Army Girl

This is probably my favorite outfit out of the three.  First, pair any combat boots you own with some kind of army green bottom ( I chose a skater skirt, pants, or leggings would do too).  Then I paired the skirt with a cropped army patterned top- which you can find for less than 15$ at Forever 21.  I added a bucket hat to the outfit and decided black nails with a army green accent nail would look the best.  Then I paired a black with gold studded bag to complete the look.

Outfit #3 Chic Indian

This look is beyond cute and for Halloween at my school this year, is probably what I will be wearing.  It is pretty simple to put together too.  First, you need a long brown dress- or what I think is even better is an XL men's t-shirt and then you can cut it to your desire.  Then, a pair of moccasins which most people already have so no need t go out and buy some.  My favorite part is the jewelry.  Gather a ton of fun brackets (preferably with some turquoise) and layer them.  Then I chose a turquoise necklace to add to the costume.  Finally, a feather hippie band, you can make one or buy one cheap some place like Claire's.

Hopefully you like one of these ideas!

How to get a Bohemian Room

I am obsessed with all the bohemian, gypsy rooms and for my birthday this year I want to redo my room so I have been searching every corner of the internet for different room styles that appeal to me. And of course for the perfect furniture, pillows, and bedding.

My attention has gone straight to the Bohemian rooms and today i'm showing you the steps in making your room a perfect bohemian setting.  First, a few examples of perfection.

 This first room I love because of all the different pillows and how the bed looks so cozy in the corner.  I also like all the wall decorations.  Obviously this room is a bit messy, but the bed works.

 This room is a bit more of a classy bohemian style.  I like the white bedding and originally wanted to get something like it for my room, but knowing me I will get spill nail polish or get pen on the white sheets.  I am in love with the wall on the right, it is so cool.  And I am loving the light thing hanging over the bed.

 Again, another awesome room.  This one stands out because of all the fun lanterns hanging- a really cool idea.  The mirror hanging above the bed is super unique and cool and I like the rug and the blankets/pillows on the bed.

 Okay this room is straight up my dream bedroom.  The white sheet thing on top of the bed is so unique and I love the pillows and the color they bring.  The pictures and the posters on the wall are cool as well as the white lights.  I like how the bed is on the ground too, thats different.

I chose this last picture just as more pillow and bedding examples, I think thats the most important part of getting the bohemian vibe.

So, what are the necessities in order to obtain an awesome bedroom like the ones above?  I think there are four essentials.

1.) Pillows: try to get different shapes, colors, and patterns

2.) Rugs: i like this pattern, anything with stripes is always cool too.

3.) lights and lanterns: even candles too, add something cool and different!

4.) Curtains: fun curtains are your best bet, but if you think your room is getting too busy with color and patterns, try white curtains that are textured

I found lots of inspiration at Urban Outfitters under the apartment section, so check that out for more.

Selena Gomez Fashion

 A little while ago I did Kylie Jenner street style fashion and it is one of my most viewed blogs, so today I decided to do Selena Gomez fashion, but instead of street style, some of my favorite dresses of hers.

1.  I think this gold dress is really fun and different, and super cute paired with the sparkly gold pumps.  I'm not crazy about Selena's hair for this look, but I love everything else (look close and even her nails are gold!)

 2.  This is probably my favorite dress look of Selena's.  Whatever color this is, I am obsessed with it!  And the two-piece style is really cool.  Her nude heels are cute, although kind of boring with the plain (but adorable!) dress.  I also love Selena's hair straightened.

 3.  This bright red dress is amazing.  Everything from the color and the sequins, and down to the cut at the bottom is so pretty.  I even love the wide sleeves in contrast to the tight dress.  Her lipstick is on point and the black shoes she paired work really well.

4.  I like the plain and simple look this white dress provides.  The bright white looks really good with her dark brown hair and is adorable paired with her clutch.  Again, she is wearing nude heels, and even though it is a plain look- I think it works and the nude pumps were a good choice.

5.  Last, but defiantly not least- this outfit is stunning!  The washed out pink is one of my favorite dress colors and I love how elegant the ruffle from the shoulder to the hip make this look.Her jewelry and shoes are on point, however I am not crazy about the black clutch.  I love her hair and makeup!

Look #2 was my favorite, which was yours?  Stay tuned in for more blogs.  You can follow me on bloglovin' by scrolling to the bottom of the page and pressing the follow button.

Another Rainy Day

It has been non-stop raining where I live so today I'm sharing what I wear on rainy days.  If you saw my last blog, it was also a rainy day theme.  You can view it here.

Today I paired faded denim jeans with some rips in them with my Bean Boots.  I was so glad to finally pull them out of my closet and start wearing them for this season!  I then wore one of my dad's sweatshirts, because thats what I always do...and put my black North Face raincoat over it.

 It was a super cold day.  I was selling my school merchandise at the Farmer's Market in the rain so I was very cold.  Then my friends and I got lunch and took blog pictures, just a typical Saturday!

Rainy Day Playlist

So far it has been a crazy busy week, not to mention I had a chaotic weekend, so I have not had much time to blog.  But, good news is this weekend is a long weekend so I will have lots of awesome blogs coming up.  Today I put together my rainy day playlist.  

It has been constantly raining where I live so I have perfected my playlist that i like to listen to in the car or in my room with the rain.  These songs don't necessarily have to be for a rainy day, they are more so just some songs I am enjoying.  

You probably see a few you know on the list, and i tried to add in some different ones so you could discover some new music!  My favorite song is probably #5, Rivers and Roads.  It's amazing.  

That is that and stay tuned because I should have a new blog post up on Friday night.

Birchbox

You have probably heard of the hit subscription box by now- Birchbox. But, if you haven't, it is a personalized subscription box full of beauty samples that arrives at your house for $10 every month.  The catch is that you are paying $10 for much more expensive products that really add up to be about $40 worth of products.

My Birchbox recently arrived on my doorsteps and I'm sharing with you this months samples.  If you are interested in subscribing to Birchbox (which I highly recommend- it's like Christmas every month!) click the link here.

1. Pixi Lip Shea Butter- This is my favorite sample in the box, not only because it is full sized, but I love all lip products.  This one smells delicious and soothes chapped lips.

2.  Suki Exfoliating Cleanser- I really like this cleanser, I have only used it once so I'm not sure who well it will work but it smelled great!

3. Curl Keeper- In the Birchbox I only got a foil packet sample which was highly disappointing, but I do have to say it worked well and kept my hair relatively curly, I may have to buy a bigger bottle.

4.  Dr. Jart Pores No More- Have not had the chance to try this out yet, looks great and hopefully it works.  Decent sample size.

5. Yu-Be-  I am slightly disappointed with this product because it is a tiny sample size.  I like samples that I can use more than two times like the Pixi Shea Butter and Suki Exfoliator.  But, it was a pretty good moisturizer for dry skin.

Overall I would give this Birchbox a 6/10.  I enjoyed the bigger samples that I mentioned earlier, and wasn't loving the foil packet and tiny Yu-Be sample.  Can't wait for next months Birch box, and remember to heck out the link above (in the intro) to get a birch box for yourself!

Jeans and Tank

The other night my friends and I went out to a local burgers and fries restaurant, you may have heard of Wahlburgers- it has a TV show.  Anyways, that isn't really the point.

 It was surprisingly warm out, which kind of made me mad because I just want it to be Fall already!  I refused to put on shorts because I feel like I am past that point in the year, so instead I paired classic navy jeans with a tank top.  I then added a semi-statement necklace and put a scrunchie in my hair.  I pulled out sandals for hopefully the last time until Spring to complete the look.

I love the fun pattern on the shirt.

 I heart scrunchies.  Don't you??

Incase you were wondering how delicious our food was.  I got the grilled cheese because I am a vegetarian, and let me tell you- this is the best grilled cheese.

Stay tuned for my next post on Fall Lip Products (up on Sunday).  Follow me on Bloglovin' by scrolling to the bottom of the page and pressing the Bloglovin' button, you will get notified when I upload a new blog.
