Fashion Model for the Day - Kayla



So my featured guest today is Kayla, my bestie.  She is one of the funnest and most real people I know.  Her simple, yet cute outfit today truly reflected her inner beauty and shined among the crowds.

Boots, Skinny Jeans, Blouse, Cardigan, Belt, Necklace

 

These boots are absolutely beautiful! They're sturdy yet really dressy. 

I LOVE THEM!



Kayla's jewelry was not too complex yet it went so well. 

Of course, the saying does go "Less Is More!"

Wearing the necklace and earings adds sparkle to the outfit.  Then the white belt accentuates Kayla's waist and ties in the outfit by bringing in a little more life.  :) 

PS. If you hadn't noticed, her cardigan also has pockets, great for caring random items. 

KAYLA'S FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE:

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Hairstyles For A Pixie Haircut - 2

So this is another hairstyle I've found possible with my pixie cut. 

I simply put gel on the front and combed it foward like I was gonna spike it, then I pushed the little spike down, giving it a bit of a poof to the front.   Not too much different from the original style, except the way the bangs are styled.  This definately the way to style it if you're going for a more edgy look.

Zote - The SUPER soap

So have you ever gotten a stain that you thought you would never be able to get rid of?  Well I thought I did.  A few nights ago I was gonna take off some of my eye-makeup with some baby oil (my makeup remover) when I accidentally lost grip of the bottle and it poured oil all over the countertop, the floor, my laptop :/ and my sweater and dress.  So obviously I only had one choice, to wash out the stain... which when it's oil like never really works, so as soon as I finished getting the baby oil off my computer I ran and got this awesome soap called ZOTE from my cabinet. By now the stains had kind of started drying... and I feared they would not come, however to my surprise, THE ENTIRE STAIN CAME OUT!!  Man, I kind of thought of taking before and after pictures but I was so worried it wouldn't.  So if there's anything you need to wash well, this soap works! 

Rachel Bishop

Rachel Bishop (aka Rachel Parrish) has some of the most beautiful music I have heard.  She is also a big inspiration in my life.  We actually go to the same school.  It's funny though cause since I first saw her in choir, I thought I've got to know this girl. 

Luckily we happened to be in the same NSO (new student orientation) group, and I have gotten to know her personally.  Not only does she have an awesome fashion sense, a fun personality, a radiating love for God and is beautiful but she's also an excellent songwriter and has a unique voice that sounds so pretty!   I then found out later that she has music on iTunes!!

Hairstyles for a Pixie Haircut

So in January, I  just decided one day that I was gonna cut my hair super short, a pixie cut!  Random?  Yeah, I guess.  One of my friends at school had the cutest haircut, and it made me really really really wish I could pull it off too, I didn't think I could.  But I couldn't help it I really wanted to try.  So one night I told my mom I wanted to cut my hair short.  She thought I meant shoulder length lol.  Big surprise when I showed her pictures of the haircut I wanted.   Well now that it's short there aren't as many options of hairstyles but I've found a few I'd like to share with you.

This is prolly the easiest hairstyle.  All I did to get this look was wet my hair, gel it, and comb all the hair down and my bangs to one side, then put a small hair clip to add a little girly-ness to the style.   When I was done I put a lot of hairspray to keep it from moving and my rebellious short hairs in the back from sticking straight UP!

This morning, when I woke up my hair as usual was sticking up and doing crazy things, but it kind of looked good. so when I showered I decided not to wet my hair, which was easy since it's so short. lol  Then I put gel to style it exactly the way I wanted, and hairsprayed it to keep it where I wanted.  [Note: I did not spike my bangs, cause I don't like the way it looks on me, but you could try]  With a style like this it's okay if it's not perfect, cause it looks intentionally messy :)

What to do with all those magazines??

So as a female college student, I have most definately gotten my fair share of reading magazines.  They got cute outfits, tips on how to style your hair, do your make-up, how to be healthier, workout routines, fun quotes, and items I eventually need to buy. lol  Of course after reading several magazines I forgot which one it was in, and honestly how many times will you go searching through all of them for that one outfit you had to try.  Well my bestie came up with this GREAT idea!  Why not cut out all the articles and outfits you like and put them into a notebook.  We like to call it our "inspiration notebook".   It's really simple to make.:

1.  Buy a composition notebook, glue-sticks, and tape

2.  Read, read, read, and cut out your favorite things from your magazines

3.  Glue them into your book however you like

4.  Don't forget to decorate your cover!   (I like to use the tape for this part)

*You can also cut out cute patterns and such to add more color to the notebook.  gel pens and highlighters are also fun to use for writing in things in random parts of your book.

Now whenever you need a little inspiration just go check out booklet ;)  Have fun!!
