Fashion Tutorial- How to do the purrrfect cat eye.

Okay, before I start this fashion tutorial, I wanna give a special meow to those of you that read and like my stupid little blog :3 snaps and catnip! But before I go straight up catlady on y'all, let me get to the tutorial. Have you ever wanted to know how to do a cat eye that would make Frida Kahlo do a double take of that masterpiece? Well you're in luck since anybody that knows me knows that I wear one on a daily basis!

Materiales!
1) An angled "liner brush". I honestly use a skinny, non angled brush, but its whatever floats your boat!

option 1

Option Dos!

& Option 3/MY personal favorite

 

Bee Tee Dubz, you can purchase all of these brushes at target & if you're resourceful enough, a skinny paintbrush from your local craftstore will definitely work! (fun fact, for the longest time, I used extra paint brushes to do my makeup before I caved in and bought makeup brushes).
2) GEL Liner (I personally like to use Bobbi Brown's Long Wear Gel Liner in 'Black Ink', which costs about $22, but it will last you a lifetime, I promise! There's also Maybelline's Gel Liner which costs about $8, which I also like!)
-You COULD use a pencil & rub it on your angled/straight brush, but I think that's pretty stupid due to the additional steps and doesn't look as precise as the gel liner.
3) ALSO, liquid &felt tip liners will work as well, but I personally think the gel has a better finish.

Okay so this is what you're going to do!
1) take your brush, dip it in your gel (I personally suggest swirling it in the gel as if your were dipping an ice cream cone in sprinkles)
2) starting from the CORNER of your eye, line your eye as you normally would, except you should make your line thicker when you get past the center of your eye as if you were drawing a ramp/ triangular shape (does that make sense)
3) Now that you have that line, place your brush (possibly refreshing the gel) at the highest point your want your wing to reach (lets make that point HIGH! The bigger the wing the closer to God right?) & move downwards to the normal line. You'll probably have to move at an angle.
4) fill in any spots you might have missed
5) Add mascara and youre DONE!

Now pat yourself on the back while you look at how awesome your makeup is! If it was an epic fail (which I doubt), just wipe off all of your flaws using Neutrogena (or whatever your brand is, I just swear by this particular brand) makeup wipes and correct them :)

now I'm leaving you with my current favorite song, "Treasure" by that perfect Bruno Mars (btw, i'm a big time fan of his and will be buying his cd on Tuesday!)

Minnetonka Boots.

Guess who's back, back again, SKY is back, tell your friends!

HELLO MY LOVELIES! Sorry for my longterm hiatus, but I'm back and ten times harder! I bet you're wondering what cute tutorials I have waiting for you, but today is going to be a review of my latest purchase. Y'all are going to be upset about my latest purchase, but I honestly think it was worth it.

see these GORGEOUS babies? Well these are the Minnetonka Fringe Boots <3. I think they are going to be my ultimate winter/summer/spring/fall accessory! I bought them in August, and I cannot stop wearing them! They're stylish, comfortable and can adjust to any temperature. They keep me nice and warm in the cold, and don't make me feel like a bear is chillin by my feet on a warmer day. There are only two cons with these boots : 1) the price (which really isnt that bad, but since its not a luxury material like leather $89+ seems a bit extreme) and 2) the sizing. Okay I normally wear a size 7, but I had to go up to an 8 in order to properly fit these shoes, so if you get them be weary of this.

How to Wear It: Baggy Band Tees

Hiyah dolls!
So I found the CUTEST way to wear baggy tees! Its a more punk look, but I promise you will like it !

This is what I did:

Okai, so this is how it all went down. I rolled the sleeves a couple of times, then I tucked it in to a pair of short black shorts. Then I layered it with a bunch of necklaces I had laying around! Then around the shorts (like you'd normally wear a belt) I had a skinny, tan, braided belt! Then of course I put in some earrings (they were these huge rose studs I got from Aldo, it was like $10 for 3 pairs ^-^). As for shoes I just threw on a pair of toms (I really wanted black chucks or vans though) because those were the first pair I saw lol #LAZY! then I just put on my fringe cross body bag! Very punk and boho chic!

Intimate Moments: Back to School

(smile courtesy of Myrtle Beach)

HELLO THERE MY BEAUTIFUL FASHIONISTAS! I'm here to talk to you about a very serious issue: back to school shopping. I know going back to school sucks something serious, but you at least wanna look stunning to a) give your teacher a good impression & b) looking nice = feeling nice, soo let's get crackin'!

First off, DON'T BUY TOO MUCH!

By this I mean, please just buy pieces to start off with, because if you get to school & see that all of those new clothes that you just bought aren't in style, you're gonna get all butthurt and not wear them, having all of these teriffic threads go to waste. If you're like me & don't give a single "put-your-favorite-phrase-here" about what everybody around you is wearing then you can skip this step ;-)

Please try to stay in between your school's dresscode guidelines.

Look, I know that tube top and those denim cutoffs are adorable (sorry, adorbz, lemme stay hip here!) but they're also a one way ticket to Principal Whatchamacallit's office. I've had it happen to me numerous times & I know how much that sucks (I had to wear my hoodie around my waist once, EW). I'm not saying to buy legitimate granny clothes with the little kitty cat embroided, but invest in some sort of cardigan/jean jacket, tights (fishnets are so CUTE) & camisoles. Or you could just buy cute clothes that don't look like something you'd wear on friday night.

Please stop buying heels!

OMG, you don't know how many grown behind girls I've seen stomping around in heels. It looks ugly and that noise drives me BONKERS!! Buy some comfortable shoes that will get you from class to class. This is my third year of high school so at this point, I'm not worried about looking mature, but you dont need high heels to do that! Heck, I've gotten through just fine wearing vans, sandals & Ugg boots.



Don't be afraid to take some fashion risks!
Every year, I LOVE taking some sort of fashion risk! It shows that I'm not afraid to be me & that I honestly don't care what others think about my clothes. Look, I'm not saying you should dress like a scene kid, but try something you would never do. Buy a crazy piece of jewelry (for me, it was HUGE spikes, now I'm addicted), colored jeans, neon shoes, or even better, something you made yourself!

Shop with friends!
If you're one of those people that thrive off of the acception of your peers, this might help boost your confidence! A good friend would say "umm yeah, I hope you don't like that", but a bad friend would be a yes man! If you don't care about that kind of stuff, just bring a friend along so you wont be lonely. If you have a self conscious friend, PLEASE GO WITH THEM! You can be that one person that gives them tough love about that rainbow colored poncho & you can give them suggestions!

LOVE YOUR OWN CLOTHES
When your shopping (even with your friends), make sure that YOU love your clothes. I don't care if every girl is wearing neon orange space boots, if you think they're hideous, DONT BUY THEM JUST BECAUSE THEYRE POPULAR!

Most importantly, PLEASE FOCUS ON SCHOOL.
I know looking totally delicious is the best thing ever, but when you graduate, your dream college isn't going to care about how hot you looked throughout high school, they're gonna be looking at your grades & exrtacurricular activities!
