Back to School Essentials

It's almost that time again and everybody is getting ready to head back to school as August is just around the corner. People are now shopping for supplies and clothes, all that fun stuff. I always loved school shopping because I like getting cute supplies and new clothes but I always dread going back! For this school year here are some articles of clothing that I recommend to get before I head back. Jeans are always important for school so I'd just get boyfriend, skinny, and high waisted, no need to be fancy for school as you just sit and learn the whole time. Also whats great is shorts,skirts,overalls, and day dresses. Dresses are always fun because everybody thinks you're all dressed up but 95% of the time you just didn't want to put on pants. Now for tops; graphic tees, plain tee shirts, blouses and camis. I don't know about you but my school is usually very cold so I like to take a jacket so denim or leather is always great, it looks good with anything. Now shoes are very simple, you want to keep it comfy, I would never wear heels to school honestly. Just any sandals, flats, converse, slip ons they will all look great. Here are a few examples of just some school basics and don't worry you can always add on clothes to your closet throughout the year!

What I've learned through my eleven years of school is that comfort is key! xxMarcy

My 16th birthday

So last Saturday it was my birthday and I had a little party with a few friends. For my birthday I had a lot of candy. The theme was Parisian and my colors were light blue, black, white, and silver. It was very pretty and I enjoyed it more than I would of a larger party, to be honest. All my friends and I just played a few games and hung out and caught up on things because I haven't seen them in a while. What I wore was just a navy colored dress that I got from Kohl's and a pair of brown wedges that I found in my moms closet. Since it was outside and it was hot I ended up changing into just a pair of high wasted shorts from Charlotte Russe and just a tee shirt from Ross.

Here's my outfit before I decided to change...

My cake that my mom made, it was amazing! 

The little decorations that I had outside and the candy!

The to finish the day off I blew out 16 candles xxMarcy

How to: Distressed Boyfriend Jeans

Now that school is approaching and fall is around the corner, boyfriend jeans are going to be making an appearance once again. Boyfriend Jeans are much like skinny jeans for those who didn't know, the only thing is that they are loser and I think they are more comfortable than your average skinny jean. Anybody can wear boyfriend jeans in any type of way, they are very easy to style. You can wear just a simple tank top with Birkenstock or if it's chilly outside you can wear them with those cute pair of ankle booties that you have in your closet paired with a long coat or leather jacket. Here are some of my favorite looks:

With converse: When you're wearing boyfriend jeans with converse you want to keep it very simple because it looks very casual. This would be a great look to wear if you are constantly on the go. All you have to do is just add a simple tee shirt and your favorite bag, to give it a little something extra you can wear a cute leather jacket or just tie a flannel around your waist. This look is very easy to create and it looks really cute. 

With Birkenstocks: Boyfriend jeans with Birkenstocks are not only really cute but it's very typical. I think this look would have to be one of my favorites because it's just very summer like. When wearing boyfriend jeans you are going to want to wear a loose shirt. That's when little tank tops come in. They look great with boyfriend jeans and it's great for summer/fall because it's a cool outfit. Not only that but if you wanted to add a cardigan or a kimono it will look amazing and it'll add something different.

With Ankle Boots: When you're wearing these jeans with ankle boots I'd like to say its more for winter. So I would just wear it with a cute sweater and a coat, and if it's really chilly outside just to add a scarf that has some color to it (if your like me and only wears neutral colors). That's about it for boyfriend jeans you don't only have to wear those things with them though! Experimenting is the best to see what you like so try it with your favorite pair of heels or that shirt that you have nothing to wear with! You'll be surprised what looks good with this versatile pants! xxMarcy

Inspiration Tuesdays

It wouldn't be surprising that one of my inspirations would be Danielle Bernstien from the blog; We Wore What. I love her style and how she pairs her clothing pieces. Her style to me is more vintage but its also very in trend. She inspires me to find articles of clothing that would go out of my comfort zone and try new things. For example I would of probably never tried wearing overalls but now that I have I can't get enough of them! Not only that but she's the one that inspired me to start a blog because I thought it was so cool. Who's your inspiration? xxMarcy

My Daily Makeup Routine

Such a coincidence that I plan on not wearing any makeup today but I'm doing a makeup routine post, right? But today I'm going to show you guys my what I normally do for my makeup everyday. I've been asked to do this by some of my friends and as well on tumblr so here it is!

1st: I use the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream  in the color Light-Medium, and I just apply it with my Elf Powder Brush (it's supposed to be used for powder but it works great for liquid.) Then I apply my Garnier concealer with my Elf concealer brush.
2nd: I apply my Wet n Wild eye shadow pallet in the colors "Walking on Eggshells" and I just apply it where it tells me too! To apply I just use some eye makeup brushed that I have gotten from random places.
3rd: I put on my Maybelline Falsies mascara. Everybody has been talking about this and saying how great it is, it really does work well and how it makes my eyelashes look!
4th: I put on the brown pencil eyeliner from New York Color on my bottom eyelashes. I don't apply it on my waterline because I am just trying to get my bottom lashes to a darker color without using mascara.
5th: For my lips I just put on the Elf Lip Exfoliator to get all the dead skin off and make my lips super smooth. Then after that I just apply my favorite lip balm which is currently Baby Lips.
Thats pretty much it for my daily makeup routine! xxMarcy
