1. Crazy Colored Hair.
How freakin' awesome is this hair?! I'm in love! It's so pretty and if I had hair, who knows what'd I'd do with it, but I'd love this!! I don't think I have the real style to pull it off, but damn, it's so cool!
2. The Nude Lip.
Kylie Jenner has perfected it! She even goes a little darker sometimes which is pretty too! The Nude Lip goes with everything! Nude eyes, bright eyes, dark eyes, etc. It is literally a go-to for any makeup look or outfit an if you do it right, it will look banging! But there's a fine line- don't go too pale and look like you have no lips or like you put concealer on your lips. That's all bad.
3. Statement Necklaces.
Statement necklaces can glam up any casual-cute outfit! If you're wearing a simple color palette, you can add a bright, summer-y statement necklace and BAM! You're outfit has now transformed into an interesting and colorful representation of your personality. I love when I see colors paired together that are so opposite, but they coordinate with each other so well! Like, coral and teal, or green and pink, or purple and orange! But I am also a sucker for a simple black and white! So, whatever the outfit, if it's missing the final touch, pull out that statement necklace, put on your other simple jewels, earrings, bracelet, whatever and rock the crap out of it!
4. Flower Crowns.
These are so cute. While they're not appropriate for everyday, but the whole summer-y festival vibe is still current, get to wearing these! They add a little fairytale element to the outfit and capture the feel of summer when they adorn your head. They're romantic, and fancy, and fun! Real or fake flowers, handmade or bought, it doesn't matter, just Go Get You Some!
But.... this is a little over the fuckin top! DON'T do this! She looks like shes a mushroom from Super Mario! Totes not okay!
5. Eyebrows on Point.
Also, let's take a moment to appreciate that beautiful winged liner! I die, so perf! But these brows! Note that they are filled in, all. the. way. They are not partially filled, they are not ombre-brows. They are strong and fierce, and perfectly arched! This is what I'm talking about, love em! Now, the fact that I don't have eyebrows makes it really damn difficult to perfect the bold brow, but I will continue to tweak and work with and practice drawing them on until I can be proud of them!
6. Workout clothes as real clothes.
Okay, the workout apparel infatuation has been really strong these days. The clothes have transformed form drab, overly big clothes to hide in, to tight, body hugging outfits. While, clearly, I'm not a fan of the body hugging clothes, I do appreciate that everything has been revamped to be so cute! And the comfort level of workout clothes, even though most people don't actually workout in them, makes them even more acceptable! Like who doesn't want to basically live in their pajamas all day and have it be somewhat normal, and presentable!
Side Note: But to all my #fatgirls out there, please wear clothes that fit you, or go up a few sizes so the clothes float over your body! You do not look cute when you appear like a 20lb sack of potatoes shoved into a 5lb sack. I can't stress how much better a person looks when they are wearing clothes that actually fit them! Don't be afraid of the number (your size!) but, be afraid of what you'll look like in the wrong size! Only YOU have to know your size, but if you're wearing the right one, EVERYONE will know you look good! So, go get em girl!
7. Glitter, Glitter, Glitter!
Whenever you have the option, ALWAYS choose glitter! Glitter makes everything better! Whether it be on your nails, on your phone, in your makeup, on your clothes, your shoes, your school supplies, your accessories, etc- ALWAYS. CHOOSE. GLITTER! That's pretty much my life motto, except when I have to decide between cheetah print and glitter, then there's a lot more that goes into that decision because I am a true cheetah girl at heart. Glitter is so pretty, and happy. And looking at it makes me happy and puts me in a better mood! Why deny yourself happiness? Don't. You don't have to. Choose the glitter. (Unless the glitter on something is not properly attached and it will create a trail of glitter wherever you go. In that case, leave that shit alone and choose the plain option in your favorite color!)
8. The Bright lip.
The brighter the better. Look at LC pulling out the bright lip and pairing it with a nude eye! Rockin it! But, that is one thing I suggest, if you're going for a bright lip keep the rest of the makeup light and natural, let the lips be the real focus of your look! I'm really loving the orange lips people have started debuting! But bright lips are usually best kept in the spring and summer seasons, because everyone is a fan of the dark, vampy, red lip in fall and winter! So, with the little time we have left of summer, go buy a bright lipstick and wear it!
9. Internet related clothes- youtubers, memes, internet jokes, etc.
While Miranda Sings isn't one of my YouTubers I am subscribed to, this top is a perfect example of how the internet world is seeping into the real world. Whenever you see someone else with an internet related clothing item, it's like you have found another member of your clan. Its a mutual understanding that the other is in on the joke, they know things you do, and they too have spent countless hours watching Tyler Oakley, Shaaanxo, MeghanRosette, or JennaMarbles, or just scrolling through pages upon pages on tumblr or reddit. You've found a potential new friend! But, in reality the people who spend their hours on the internet aren't entirely made for the real world, so I doubt that that similar interest in online jokes, or YouTube, will actually be a foundation the internet residents will build a friendship on. More likely, they will just post something, somewhere online that they saw someone out that was also a fellow fangirl of so and so. But, regardless, I love that it can make people feel connected to each other, even if they don't really connect. And having an inside joke that others aren't included in is always a cool feeling! The whole "I know something you don't know" attitude! So, yes, buy that shirt with Grumpy Cat on it, or order that sweatshirt with Tyler Oakley's slogan on it, and definitely buy this tank with Miranda Sings face on it.
10. Cheetah.
Ahhhhh cheetah print. My one true love. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a cheetah lover through and through.I've even been known to say I'll have cheetah in my wedding, whenever that is! My future husband better be prepared!! Love me some cheetah, if it's done right! Its no good when you're dressed head to toe in cheetah, it's bad when you're wearing a bunch of different cheetah prints that don't match, and its downright horrific when you're mixing cheetah with other animal prints- you don't look good! You look like a damn safari! Use the beloved cheetah print sparingly, let if be the shining star of your outfit. Pair these beautiful booties on the right with an all black outfit and a red lip, or jeans and a top, and wear some nude or black shoes with the dress on the left! Or maybe even just wear cheetah accessories to spruce up your boring outfit! And I say yes to cheetah everything else too- wallets, keys, phone cases, bedroom decor, etc. Cheetah Love, forever and ever!
BONUS: Edgy Boots.
I love these, especially for fall and winter! But, I am also loving when similar styles are paired with dresses! It makes everything a little more edgy and everyone could use some rough around the edges feel every now and then!
