Reward Yourself!

Good Morning Beauties! Do you ever feel overwhelmed to the point where you feel like your going to burst? If you have answered yes to the question above, YOU NEED A BREAK! But how do you take a break when you feel as if you have no money? Easy answer for you, save your money! Find an old mason jar or anything "pretty" that can fit your personal taste.Great now you just have to stay committed to the jar, and not try to mooch on it when you want something useless. This is your Rainy Day jar; grab from this whenever you need a girls day out, or wanna do something to ease your stress. Shopping is my outlet when I feel stressed, it is a really good stress relief to know you have money and you can spend it on whatever you want! It does not matter if you have less than $20 in the jar, $20 can go a long way with proper spending. One of your issues may be; you feel like you have no control on your life. But being able to control what you spend and what it is on, can really help with that problem. The last point of interest, every time you have any loose change, don't throw it in the bottom of your purse! Simply put it in the jar, a little goes a long way. Or lets say you buy Starbucks every morning, well save your Starbucks money from that week and put it in the jar. Think of different rewarding methods on how to save your money, and you too can have yourself a big fat BREAK!

Have a wonderful day!

Fall 2012 Trends and Must Have!

Good morning beauties! I have not made a blog post in forever! I apologize for that, simply by posting this! (Please excuse my horrible screen shot, shown above) This is my most latest YouTube video on me explaining this years 2012 Fall trends! If you simply do not have the time to watch this video, just keep scrolling and the items will be listed below!

Current Trends:

Polka Dots!

These are major must this season, being that they are very versatile and can be worn anytime of the year!

But they still look cute and can add that vintage vibe to any outfit!

Faux Fur!

Whether it be a long trench coat or as simple as a vest, faux fur is a must! It can dress up any outfit and can be paired with various pieces of clothing; such as boots! But it still manages to make any outfit still look cute.

Plaid!

This is something you will see all year long! But it is a must for fall/winter time simply because it adds a lumberjack feel to any outfit, but still manages to keep you warm weather it be a poncho or a button down flannel. 

Cable Knit!

I LOVE CABLE KNIT! As well as sweaters, they defiantly set a mood for the weather changing! I love how warm and comfy they are! Plus they always look cute with a pair of jeans and boots! 

Hope you enjoyed! XOXO Sedona

Getting my question answered by LAUREN CONRAD!

"Hi Lauren, I am currently taking a journalism class and I love all things fashion and beauty. I even have my own YouTube Channel dedicated to it and a blog too. I really want to work in the fashion industry- maybe editorial or design. Do you have any tips for me?"

I had wrote this via letter to her a couple of months ago, aware that she may never respond. But in my favor, The Lauren Conrad responded to ME! Okay, I know I may be sounding a little bit crazy! But being that she is my idol it just means the world to me! I got my question answered and now I am on the next step on achieving my dreams.

My plan:
- Get a job A.S.A.P to save money
- Graduate High School
- Move to California
- Get an internship with a fashion magazine (Preferably; Teen Vogue or Seventeen)
- Get accepted to FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising)
- Create Contacts (Work back stage in Fashion Shows)
- Create my very own Fashion Line!

I know my dreams may be big, I have been told this millions of times! I have been told that I simply "Can not do it." Well that my friend you are wrong! As off today Monday, August 20th, 2012 at 7:48pm is when my dreams start. I will not accept "No" as an answer, I am determined and ready for a bright future.

Taking the chop!

 She did what?

I know the world is supposedly coming to an end but that doesn't necessarily mean you need to chop everything off! Anne Hathaway, did just that; a new look for the ripe old age of 29! The pixie cut has been trending for quite some time now first starting with celebrities like Emma Watson and Victoria Beckham. In my opinion I think this was a mistake for Anna, she is still young! When I think 20's-30's I think medium to long hair, not boy cut. I think long hair makes you look more youthful, but if you are going for a more older look than gee golly get a pixie/boy cut. Whatever floats your boat, what do you guys think on Anna's new look?

Bangs, Bangs & More Bangs!

It seems like everyone and their mother is getting bangs this season! Side Swept, Straight Across, Chopped; you name it they got it! Personally I think bangs are very cute, pretty much anyone can pull them off. I just have never taken the plunge and got them done, I'm to much of a chicken. What do you guys think about bangs?

Enjoy!

Review: Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation!

Review Time!

Hey beauties! Long time no see, today I will be sharing with you guys a little slice of heaven!

Not literately but something close to it, makeup wise that it. I was in the market for a new foundation, and read many reviews and decided to try out the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation.

The hype on this product was like no other, many people said they LOVED it, and I would have to agree with them. It left my face feeling smooth and light, a feeling that last throughout the day. Many other foundations of mine wore off within a few hours due to the hot weather here. It was good to find something that worked for me, and that is why you should try it too!

Pro's:

Inexpensive: $10 (walmart)

Long lasting

Light weight! my skin can breathe

A little goes a long way

Con's:

Finding a good way to apply it

Fairly large jar, very little product

Drying without moisturizer

Overall this product is really good, a lot of the foundations I have been using before hand would make me break out a lot! This product is one of those products that you can use all year long. I tested it out for the summer, and now I cant wait to see how it works as we go into the winter! 

Hope you guys found this review helpful.

XOXO

Fashion Go To: Pretty Pastels

Hey beauties, so spring is now officially here which means it is time for gorgeous weather and looking your best! Freshen up your wardrobe with a few of these pieces, add a bit of color and POP and you should be ready! Since it is 'Short's Season' I would recommend dressing with less clothing pieces depending on where you live. By doing that it just adds onto that summer vibe "I could care less."

1. Pastel Dresses

The sky is the limit with these types of dresses, I would recommend buying some sort of summer dress

just to add onto the everyday casual look. If your going out, dress them up a little bit with a clutch or blazer.

 

2. Pastel Jeans





The tricky part with pastel jeans is making sure that they are not over powering or way to bright. You want just a little color pop. As you can seen in the picture below that is why we pair it with a white blouse.

 

3. Pastel Jewelry

You can never go wrong with adding a little bit of jewelry to spice up any plan outfit, it simply completes every look. That is why jewelry is so universal and an easy grab.

Enjoy!
