This video kind of just speaks for itself.

I wasted way too much time on YouTube yesterday and found a couple YouTubers with super helpful makeup and hair tips!

Zoella : https://www.youtube.com/user/zoella280390

She has really simple tutorials for both hair and makeup that are incredibly easy for even beginners to attempt and she also has a bunch of haul videos where she tells you about the stuff she got and why she loves it, which is helpful if you're not sure what to buy and how to use it.

I actually haven't watched too many of her videos, but I just happened to click on one and it was her just getting ready for a meet and greet. I really like it because you could see all the steps that she was going through to put on her makeup and it made it easy to replicate.

Whoot

WTF is Semiformal?

As graduation is over, the grad parties have started. As the weather is warm, and most grad parties are outdoors, the dresscode more often than not is "semiformal." The word semiformal is confusing in itself. Semi, like partial? So partially formal?? 

We were confused ourselves, so we decided to break it down. 

Black Tie/Evening Wear: This would be the gowns and dresses you see on the red carpet, or like prom dresses.

Casual: Duh. (denim and such)

Formal: Dresses, skirts, heels; fancy

So we'd have to say if you were dressing for a semiformal event it just depends on how dressy you want to go. We would suggest something like the following:

Dress: Urban Outfitters

Bralette: Brandy Melville

Necklace: Charming Charlie

You can never go wrong with a floral dress. They can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. The one shown is perfect because the necklace dresses it up and makes the outfit more fancy, but the open back of the dress and the ladder-back bralette make the outfit more casual for daytime wear. Also keep in mind that your hair and shoes will affect your outfit! For semiformal, something like loose waves (as in picture) and sandals or wedges (casual wedges) would be perfect.

Victoria Beckham: Fashion Icon

Victoria Beckham is known for many things. She's Posh Spice, wife of the gorgeous David Beckham, mother, entrepreneur, and fashion designer. She's created countless trends and is one of our fashion inspirations. 

When we think Victoria Beckham, we think clean lines, black and white; very chic. 

However, she's done so much more than what most people think. She brought the asymmetrical bob into fashion (long in the front short in the back) and the peplum style that was trending last spring. 

Victoria Beckham is glamorous in an effortless sort of way, and that's what I think makes her so gorgeous and her fashion and styles so timeless.

Yahoo Celebrity's recent article on Victoria Beckham inspired our post! Read it here:

Spring into Skirts!

Floral

Shirt: Nordstrom

Skirt: Forever 21

Sandals: Target

Cardigan: Forever 21

Polka-dotted

Striped

Top: Hollister Co.

Jacket: vintage

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: Urban OG

Bag: BDG from Urban Outfitters

As the weather warms up, the skirts come out! As always, printed skirts seem to be very popular. They're the perfect addition to any spring closet because you can pair them with virtually anything. However, because prints draw the eye, it is best to pair them with something basic, like a white shirt or something of contrast so your outfit doesn't look too busy. Finish off your outfit with a matching sweater or jacket and you're good to go!

Have a fun spring break!

Prom Season Styles

Now we all know that prom season is extremely exciting and one of the best parts is looking for a dress. Now there seems to be three different routes you can go with when looking for a prom dress. You can go with the short prom dress like the one below.

Now I know for us, we personally prefer the long gowns for prom because they are so elegant. Below you can see a very classic style of prom dress with a beaded bodice and a flowy skirt. It is from Sherri Hill which is a very well known prom dress store. 

Now you can also go for the more fitted mermaid style dress like this one. 

And for you daring souls out there who want to try more unique dresses, those can be gorgeous as well like this one.

Overall, if your prom dress fits your personality and your sense of style then you can't go wrong. As prom season kicks into high gear you want to be the one to stand out. So express yourself in your prom dress and you should feel fabulous. 

This Weeks Gold Carpet Update: Spring Fashion Trends

Maxi dresses are making a comeback this spring. In this picture Lily Donaldson is wearing a light and flowy maxi dress which is perfect for a warm spring evening. For those chillier days you can just add a light wash denim jacket or vest for the perfect spring look. 

The crop tops from last spring are not going anywhere. In this outfit Candice Swanepoel is wearing a pair of rolled up mint skinny jeans paired perfectly with a loose fitting white crop top. This is the perfect combination of simple and chic. 

Pastel colors are super in this spring. Here Taylor Swift is wearing a beautiful peach pastel dress paired with a strappy pair of nude heels. Adding a white or beige blazer can take this outfit to a whole another level and its perfect for a nice spring evening out. 

Coco Chanel: Fashion Goddess

Coco Chanel is known and revered as one of the most influential figures in the fashion world from the 1920’s to today. Not only was Coco Chanel way ahead of her time fashion-wise, she created timeless styles that were practical, comfortable, and chic and are still seen with awe today. Coco Chanel did more than design clothes; she created a fashion empire that is still seen as one of the most high-class and prestigious to this day. She changed fashion forever, and her influence on the fashion world will continue forever.

Facts about Coco Chanel
