Pimp my calculator!

Hai my fabulously frugal fashionistas! I'm sorry that I've been MIA for like ever! I'm going to try my best to keep up with the blog because I just joined the cast of my high school's production of LEGALLY MUSICAL (thats legally blonde if ya didnt know!). I will be playing Brooke Wyndham ;) so I wont have a lot of time. but here's a quick tutorial I thought you all might like.

OK so as you all may or may not know, I'm currently taking ap calculus -__________-. And when you take AP Calculus you are required to have an over-priced Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator (TI 83 Plus REPRESENT, it was cheaper than the TI 84, ayeee). And as boring as AP Calc may be, I found a way to make life easier :) BEDAZZLE YOUR CALCULATOR COVER

OK so this is what you're going to need.
Bucket O' Bling (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kids-Crafts-Bucket-of-Bling-Assorted-Acrylic-Jewels/17753258) this is what I'm referring to..
A hot glue gun
Your graphing calculator (or a standard scientific calculator)
IMAGINATION.

Okay, so here's a picture of what I sort of mean..

but completely covered :D

Dizerections!
-Take the cover of your calculator and sit it on a shopping bag/towel to protect your work area
-while your glue gun is heating up, lay out your gems in the pattern you want and take a picture of it using your camera phone.
-glue the gems on & clean up your calculator for excess hot glue :)
-ENJOY.

SPIKED SHORTS.

Hey everybody! :) So remember those spikes I told you about? Yeah well I made some shorts with them!

Materials
-Scissors
-Spikes
-Your Camera Phone
-OPTIONAL tailor's chalk &Screw driver

this is what you do:
ok, so first you're gonna just lay your spikes on your shorts in the pattern that you're gonna screw them in. After you do that, take a picture of it! Then using your scissors, poke TINY holes in the right spot using the picture as a reference point so that you can now screw those spikes in (make the screws extra tight using a screwdriver). When you're done, go flaunt your hot new shorts!

PS- instead of taking a picture, you can mark off the spots where your spots are gonna go using the tailor's chalk.

Just a quick little update

Ok guys & gals, I'm currently working on new ideas so be patient! I just got some spikes in the mail yesterday and I'm busy trying to find inventive new ways to use them! ($9.99 for a pack of 100 gold spikes). I really want this blog to be perfect for both you and I so I have to work with my new hardware for a little :-) I can't tell you exactly what I'm working on QUITE YET, but when I do, your socks will be completely rocked off.

Intimate Moments: Football game fashion

Okay girls, I know that school is back in session, which means it's football season!! Ok, I just wanted to sit down right quick and discuss the do's and dont of what you shall and shant wear to a game.

 

 

Shall:

Okay, it is okay to wear denim shorts, jeans, yoga pants, heck even skirts and dresses are cool, just nothing too fancy.

Fringed tee shirts are AMAZING. I even have a blogpost on how to make one right here http://fashionsonadime.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-about-you-do-it-yourself-fringed.html

sneakers, sandals (might get kinda itchy on the grass tho), pretty much anything FLAT.

JERSEYS, duhh

 

Shant:

-HEELS. ermegerd, I cannot express how much I hate when girls wear heels in inappropriate settings.

-fancy clothes - ok you're here to watch football and socialize, not go to the opera.

-white- football games are so gross, its just asking for a bottle of resolve

-expensive jewelry- yeah, thats exactly how you get that junk stolen

 

So here's the skinny:

while I AM pro-doowutchalike, I'm also anti-wear-stuff-in-the-wrong-setting so dont think I'm contradicting my POV here, just being sensible.

So this Summer's Eve body wash is like $5.42 I think, but its worth it! Okay so I dont trust a whole lot of scenty stuff near my ummmmm...you know what! haha so i got this stuff and LOVE IT! It safe to use all over your body & I feel squeaky clean after using it!

How About You DO IT YOURSELF : cutout skull tees

WOW, isnt this shirt amazeballs?? Well I'm gonna show you how to make it! This is what you're gonna need:
-Scissors
-tailor's chalk (or you could use a marker, but I'd suggest tailors chalk since it IS cheap.. you could probably even use regular chalk, but I've never tried using regular chalk so if you do, tell me how it worked out for you!)
-A flat surface
-A shirt you dont mind cutting up
-you dont really need it but here's a template if you WANT it. http://images.coplusk.net/project_images/37637/image/full_skull1.jpg THE OTHER HALF http://images.coplusk.net/project_images/37638/image/full_skull2.jpg
-IMAGINATION
-whatever other doohickies you'd like to add :3

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO.
-either sketch out where you're going to cut, or use the template & trace
-cut out your holes
-I suggest stretching where you cut so you can hide any uneven spots
-wear the heck out of your shirt!

Okay that was a REALLY easy tutorial, I'm pretty sure I KNOW that you can do it :-)

please comment below & tell me how yours came out & tell me what you wanna read on my blog next!

Today's song is completely random & it's what I was listening to whilst blogging.

Get The Look: Geek Chic

Salutations my dorky divas ;-) today's blog post is sponsered by the letter G, as in Geek Chic!

Okay,okay, I bet you're wondering "why the shnuff is this girl telling me how to be a geek?" Well, since I am nerdy & I do love fashion, I am an expert & I'm showing you how to be a cute nerd :-P

1) Wear your hair however you'd like to. IDC if you have braids, an afro, a gumby fade, it don't maaaake any difference to meeeee! (shoutout to Kevin Michael & Wyclef)

2)Buddy Holly glasses! Or your regular glasses if you wear them ;-). My prescription glasses are Buddy Holly so its a double brownie points situation! BTW you can get fake ones from Claires, Icing, Hot Topic, or your local mall's sunglass kiosk.

3)COSBY SWEATERS!!! Oversized sweater that look like the 80's puked on it are PERFECT! The original Cosby sweaters are Coogi, but that doesnt mean yours has to be! Thrift shop, or if you're as awesome as I am, buy a men's sweater!

4) Video Game inspired tees, or tees with dorky references are TOO TRILL.

5) Leggings & Skinny Jeans - They look amazeballs with those oversized sweaters & tees.

6) Converse, Vans & Moccasins oh my! - High top chucks with leggings & skinnies <3 Vans and skinnies <3 & when it comes to my shoe game, I'm a total hippie, so anything like moccasins is my favorite thing in the world! They feel like slippers & make me look like I buy rice pudding in bulk (which I do).

7) add whatever makeup, accessories, etc, just DOOWUTCHALIKE!

Here's a song from the hottest nerd ever, Pharrell Williams :-) he's from Virginia just like me & he's weird <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2474_-t7aLs&feature=related

I'd love to talk more, but I gotta go now!,

Is It Worth Buying?: Maybelline Baby Lips

Hey there dollies! This blog post is going to be super short, but full of important information!
Okay, so the other day I was in target & saw this lip balm called "Baby Lips". I had seen the commercial once & thought to myself "hey, its only $2.97, why not try it?" Boy am I glad I did that!!! I frickin EL OH VEE EE this stuff! It feels so good, softens the lips & it smells like fruity pebbles! I have the one in the blue tube because it doesnt have any color, but I am not opposed to trying those! I'm saying get this stuff because if you wear lipstick, odds are that your lips are uber dry! When I wear lipstick I like to wear a bit of lip conditioner or lip moisturizer underneath it, especially since I wear matte colors. Even if you dont wear lipstick, GET IT! Y'all know how cheap I am & if I'm saying buy this, you KNOW its gonna be a pretty dope product #swagswagwinningswag.

Here's the song of the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4powX4uETms

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!
