For my friend Ashley :)

My friend, Ashley, asked me today if leopard print is in.  I wanted to know what she was referring to, she said a purse, and the answer is yes!

here is why:

c/o socialitelife.com

All of these pictures are from 2009-current.  Therefore, the trend hasn't gone away.  Leopard print, cheetah print, whatever animal print it is will always be a trend as a statement piece.  That's why it won't disappear, and you will always be able to pull it off.  I wouldn't recommend wearing total leopard pants because you may look like you belong in the wild, but the bags always work.

Here are some that are cute:

REALLY EXPENSIVE.............sorry :(

MUCHHH CHEAPER

**Ashley, I hope this helps, and thanks for giving me something to post about today :) **

one last tour

Last night I went to Swedish House Mafia, and I feel like it's 11 pm on a Sunday night right now. I'm half awake trying to study for my midterm tomorrow (oops), and this is another good distraction :)  There is a blogger who is based out of NY that I follow: here The blog's name is SomethingNavy, and I was told to follow her by one of my friends who was in her sorority in college.  All of you should look at her blog because she has the best clothes. Although the stuff she wears is really expensive, it gives me good ideas.  Recently, her and her two sisters opened up an online store called Shopgrl.  The clothes on there are really cute, not too expensive, and are fashionable (obviously).  I actually have known about the opening of this store for a while--since she has been publicizing it-- and have been very excited to check it out since her style is great.

I've noticed that a lot of bloggers open online clothing stores..........maybe I should do that so I can make some money to actually buy clothes online instead of just placing items in my "shopping cart" ;)

Coconut Oil and Birch Box

So the other day I saw this tutorial on Pinterest about how to put coconut oil in your hair.  I thought it looked pretty cool, went out, got the same or similar coconut oil, and followed the directions of the tutorial (or so I thought).  Long story short... I ended up having to go to the salon at like 7 pm (when this happened around 2 pm) to have my head scrubbed with multiple products in order to fix whatever I did.  Therefore, coming from someone who's obsessed with trying new things to put in hair to make it look shiny or whatever, I would suggest to not try this unless you really know what you're doing!!!!!!!!!!! When I got to the salon, my guy started hysterically laughing asking if I got this idea from Pinterest.....it was a pretty interesting situation to say the least.

ANYWAYSSSSS

I'm not a big make up person, and I really don't know a lot about it, but i DO I am currently obsessed with this website called Birchbox.  It has literally everything from facial stuff to brushes to random hair products (I ignore if I see anything with coconut oil) to nail polish, etc.  The cool part about this website is that it promotes itself by having a "Birch Box."  What you do is register with the website, wait to get accepted, and then if you pay $10.00 a month, you can receive a sample package of  products in the mail.  It's a good way of testing what they have.  These are some of them:
