Editing Your Closet
The first order of business is to tidy up the room that houses your wardrobe as much as possible, because it's about to get reallllly messy. Make sure that your friend(s) have a comfortable place to sit. You'll need them to stay high-energy to cheer you on or if you don't to have friends over for this project you can always blast your music and sing-a-long to it while cleaning your closet.
Take out every single thing in your closet and move it all to a corner of the room. Make sure you have a clear work of space for a large hold all, two canvas totes, and some trash bags.
TRY EVERY SINGLE THING ON:
a. If you try on anything that's ripped or stained beyond repair, it goes in the trash bag.
b. If you try on something and you're over it at first glance, place it in a second, separate trash bag, which will go to a charity, like Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
c. If you try on something that's ill-fitting but cool, put it in a tote bag, which is destined for a visit to the tailor's
d. If you try on pants that's extremely tight you might also places that in the trash bag.
If you like something but not to sure of it keep it to the side just in case if you want to give it to a friend or a family member they might want it
After you tried everything on and putting the rest in a trash bag or the salvation army bag make sure all your hangers are the same color it makes the closet look more cleaner and organize. What I love doing is putting my close by it's sleeves.... sleeveless - long sleeveless and colored coordinated .

Brandy Melville
1) LA graphic tank top- $22.00 : Sense I live in Los Angeles I thought it would be cool to have a LA shirt you can pair this with leggings combats boots make it very edgy.
2) California - $14.00 : Again I live in California & wanted to purchase this shirt :)
Urban Outfitters
1) High waisted cut off / black - $49.00 .. Since black is my all time favorite color.. why not get black high waisted shorts? I do have something similar like this but it got lost somewhere at a friends house :/ so I needed to purchase another super quick!!

How I style: Burgundy lace shorts 2 ways!
Hey loves so today post is about how I style 1 Burgundy high rise lace shorts into 2 different ways from Daytime to chilly night.. I will put more outfits together with this lace shorts but here's what I have for you now ;)
DAY TIME!
(Forever 21: High rise burgundy shorts $17.80, Mine: High-low sheer ivory top $12.99)
Today I paired burgundy and white together because I thought that would look more casual & simple if you don't like white with it you can also try a black top that is cute also but sense I wear black SO much I went with ivory I really like this look it's casual but a little but of edgy. . .
Now for accessories I didn't put none on as you can see but I would pair it with silver jewelry not gold it would look kind of off and ruin the outfit.
Since my shirt was high-low I tucked it in my shorts because I want the lace to show in the back as well as the front !!
Shoes: I didn't take a picture of my shoes but since I was going for an edgy/ casual look I paired them with my ankle black combat boots from Steve Madden :)
NIGHT TIME
(Cotton On: Black Cardigan $14.95 SALE $10.00 , Forever 21: Cream light weight scarf $6.80)
This is my night look if it gets a little chilly or your just cold and want to get warmed up in Los Angeles the weather has been a little weird lately you can wear this outfit going shopping , hanging out with friends, or going to a late dinner or something. I personally love this outfit :D

Where to splurge, and where to save + How I make my own money & Save!
Where to splurge, and where to save
Creasing versatile garments that don't cost a lot of money was really important when I started saving my money. You don't always have to splurge to look good. The trick to building your wardrobe is knowing what to splurge on. Should you spend $80 on a trendy pair of pants that you hope to have an excuse to wear . . . someday?
NO! But going a little crazy on a pair of black heels or any kind of shoes that you'll get a lot of use out of over time is understandable. It really comes down to a cost-per-wear situation-- a $200 watch that you can wear to basically anywhere and everyday becomes much more affordable than a $49 watch you'll wear once and toss.
You don't need to spend a fortune on layering tops drapey tops cut from rayon work really well--- and look expensive, too) or T-shirts and jeans (I don't like jeans I wear jeggings). There are some pieces-- a hand tailored jacket, a perfectly bodycon dress, a knit cardigan, or a silk blouse---where you can see the price that you paid in the quality of the fabric and the handwork, but if something inexpensive looks good something under $30 from Forever 21, H&M, or any other stores you love going to probably look good on you.
How I make my own money and save!
I'm sure a lot of you are wondering how I make my own money and how I save money. Saving money can be pretty hard for a girl because we all love going shopping or buying food am I not right? boys have it kind of easy with saving money they sometimes don't buy much except for expensive Jordan's or any type of shoes they like but for us girls we want everything bags, jewelry, shoes, heels, shirts, pants, & etc. But there is a certain limit on how much to take to the mall and what to save your money on like me I take at least $180 to the mall and save whatever money I have left in my stash or wallet but if you don't take that much money like me you can always take at least $20 , $30 or $50, you might think you can't get much with that amount but trust me you can, I once took $20 to the mall & came back with at least 6 things you don't have to go inside a high end store and spend it all on one thing you can go inside for example Forever 21 and buy something in the clearance section for under $5 but if you want a shirt that cost $14.80 it's alright but just remember you're spending half you $20 on one thing when you trying to look for stuff under $5 and that is called Bargain shopping .
I love to shop and I make my own money and I can do what I want with my own money but don't always think I take $100+ on shopping it depends most of the time when I'm with my friends I sometimes take $50 because I don't want to over due everyone and get more stuff to me that's kind of embarrassing but that's just me I guess.
- Now how I make my own money this is kind of personal but you guys want to know so I'll just go on and tell you.
Before I started to make my own money I did ask my mom for $20.00 every friday or sometimes it can be $10 but now she doesn't give me any more unless it's my birthday or christmas but none of those days are even near so I do ask for $2 or $5 here or there rarely.
One day around February or I think January my friends started to make keychains with lanyards and stuff I remember making them in elementary school but only with 2 strings as they call it the beginners. So this girl was selling strings for like 50 cent arm length she had them in every color so mostly everyday I would always go get strings from her but after a while the 2 strings started to get boring and I kind of went back to when I used to make a chain in 5 strings but it was hard for me to start them so I did struggle a little thank god for YouTube to help me how to start it. After I got the hang of it people at school was like how did you do that? did it take time? how long was that to make? can you teach me? etc. That same night I showed my mom all the keychains I made in so many different colors she thought it was a good idea to sell them for $2.00 I wasn't really sure about selling keychains I thought the idea was crazy and I was basically doing it for fun.
Until one day my mom was off work and she just got paid that day I can honestly say she took me to Michael's and bought lanyards in EVERY color they had in that whole store I was kind of happy in a way but again felt guilty because she believed that I can actually sell these to people so I said "Hey why not just try and see how it works?". By the end of the week or two I made at least 25 keychains my mom was nice enough to help me start selling them she took them to her job and sold about 10 of them that day and I was so surprise that they actually do sell and it started to grow on me to keep making them not just for the money but doing it because I love too. I took a keychain to school one day because I didn't finish it people weren't doing them anymore because I guess it was a one week thing that was going around my friends did call me a "Loser" for still making them I did take it too heart because I hate being called names so I stopped for a week or two my mom was wondering why I stop so I told her why and she told me don't give up you love doing these and don't stop doing what you love so I did keep doing them and didn't care what people said that week!
2 months later I made $140 for making them, every week I have 20 chains ready to be sold to people and taking orders. I made so many colors like team colors, people favorite colors or anything you request I make it does take most of my time but I multitask it takes 30 minutes or sometimes and hour. I start on a keychain and watch TV at the same time or study, listening to my pandora, in the car , wherever you name it that's when I do them you can always catch me making them and when I finish with one keychain I start on another. Some of my friends do support me like my friend Olivia she was the most helpful person she even help me sell them at the fundraiser she makes ear rings so we basically help each other we both didn't think they were going to sell that day but trust me it did she made $138 that night & I made $120 . After a few weeks into it, my mom came in and was like we need 25 by next Monday they want it in this color and this design I looked at her like O.o TF? Monday is 3 days away and I needed 25 so I did take the time to actually do the colors it took me all night and day but it was alright with me when it was all done we sold it to the person I made $55 and an extra $10 because it was homemade and took time.
In late April that's when everything started to change I had a huge plastic bag and started to throw every keychain that I made and put them in there and start on a new one in that bag it was 46 keychains and my moms boyfriend was kind enough to take them to his job and help me sell every last one of them he came back home I made $80 I was so excited because I was really making my own money off these. Then I started to run out of strings we went back to Michael's to purchase some more and I happened to had one in my hand a store manager was like you make those I said yeah he thought they were very interesting so I gave him one and he took my name and number down so he can call me if his kids wanted more but no he called someone higher the main building of Michael's they thought what I was doing with their lanyards was absolutely creative they offer me to work for them not inside the store but at home. They pay me $15.00 an hour depending on if I make the keychains a certain hour if I have 20 by the end Thursday or Friday. I can't work like adults do because I'm still underage so they give me a limit like Monday - Thursday not a full week it's not possible my paychecks are sometimes $200 - $400 & yes I do save my money and go shopping a lot more now sense all this is happening & I love what I do now :)
So now you guys know how I started to make my own money you guys can do the same thing to just find something you love doing and sell them or if you old enough go out and get a job it really isn't that hard I'm sure you have talent inside you somewhere you just have to find it!! I love you guys .. bye :*
Shopping 7/4/12
Isn't it weird that every Wednesday I go to the same mall & shop?! :/
Hello, loves so I went shopping today! I need to stop .. but anyways I stopped by my favorite mall (3rd Street Promenade) the stores I went into were Cotton On , Forever 21 & H&M everything was again on SALE but most things was picked over at the stores we got there at 11am & it was super crowed because it is the 4th of July .. Party in the USA :)
But don't get me wrong I went inside every store in that mall & found basically everything sense it was a holiday everyone took my size :p Note to myself DON'T go to the mall where there's going to be 1MILLION people ..
So what I actually did pick up from the mall was a very few things not that much but hopefully I'll go back to a different inside mall & find stuff my size from other stores. :p
How cute is this belt bracelet I died when I seen this! it was originally $5.95 at Cotton On but I caught it on sale $2.19 not bad right? they had light brown, tan, & biege so I just got black & silver hate silver but it'll work :)
As you can see I picked up a few little things at the mall mostly black & grey stuff *the color I'm most comfortable in* but I can honestly say my wardrobe is expanding with more colors :)
(Starting from top left to bottom right)
Forever 21- Studded high-low shirt: $14.80
Forever 21- Grey high-low swing shirt silk: $9.80
Forever 21- High waisted lace panel shorts: $15.80
H&M- Black silk skirt: $12.95
Cotton On- Belt bracelet: $5.95 SALE $2.19
My favorite piece that I picked up is the black studded shirt I wasn't so sure about buying it when I seen it online but in person I tried it on & I fell in love.. I'll style the pieces that I bought from the mall & make a video or post them..

Nail color this week: Re-fresh Mint.
I painted my nails with this lovely color by China Glaze this was my first time using China Glaze I kinda sort of don't like it because a few minutes after it dried it started to chip so I have to put another coat on them! But I guess it's fine or whatever this is actually my favorite nail color of the season it's so freaking minty & bright I love it !!
The color is called : Re-fresh Mint.
