It's that time of the year again! Monday's rainfall signaled the beginning to what we can officially call FALL--which is super ridiculously exciting! I've been waiting all semester to pull back out my sweaters and scarves and now I can! On top of all that my hair is finally back to normal! Yea... I'm no longer a college pixie.</div>

The simplest and yet most effective way to dress for fall is most definitely a nice sweater, leggings and boots. You really switch it up with accessories not clothing. My new roommate is excellent at this. She prolly has a quarter of the amount of clothes here than I do and she is still dressed better than me most of the time. It's all about learning to remix. Thankfully with the invention of pinterest, getting fashion ideas will never be a problem anymore. I think my own personal style's improved thanks to all my pins haha.</div>

Today I honestly kept it pretty simple. just this sweater I got at last semester's clothing exchange and my old leggings and boots (which I really need to replace, they are <i>barely </i>waterproof anymore). Since the top already had quite a bit going on I limited myself to s small heart necklace and white earrings. No need for a huge statement necklace. I really played it up more with my hair today. Something I'm super excited I can do again! I split down the center teased the sides and scrunched it a ton to give it volume then slightly pinned back both sides while leaving some bangs to frame the face. This style works perfectly in cold rainy, windy weather, because it's already intentionally messy so when it gets "ruined" it only adds more to the style. heehee It's also the closest and quickest way to making my hair look slightly curly or wavy. <br />

Here you can see the hairstyle a little better. ^^ And I know the closet in the background prolly looks weird, but I
actually can't close it completely... cause we took the other door off haha.
And no, I don't have a tattoo, I was doodling in class again.... lol</div>

Anyways, I hope you're enjoying the weather too! Even if you're not a huge rain fan, (I'm honestly not) just enjoy the fact that the rain means it's <i>really </i>fall. You can wear your autumn attire and not look out of place anymore. ^_^ And next week's Halloween! Anyone have good ideas for costumes?? What are you gonna be?</div>

I guess you can blame my internet at home. It would never let me post pictures :( But anyways now that I'm back at school I can start posting again. So first of all I'd like to introduce everyone to my new guitar, James Norman Tyler! I got him specifically to take with me to college so I can actually learn guitar. :)<br />

I honestly don't think I've felt <i>this</i> girly in a looong while. Thanks to our school's clothing exchange yesterday, I was able to snag tons of great summer clothes! <br />
<br />
I felt so overdone when I left my hotel to hop into my old roomie's car, dressed in hot pink shorts, white wedges, a floral blue T-shirt, big shades, accessories, and my huge pink bag filled with my workout clothes so we could go to the gym later. I was so ready to have the ultimate girl date! lol We never ended up going to the gym cause we ran out of time after shoe-shopping, window shopping, and grocery shopping, plus it was ridiculously hot.... online it says it was in the 80's.... but I'm pretty sure it was at least 90. So we decided to drive-thru for some Frosties from Wendy's instead. hehe Of course, being us, we accidentally didn't pay attention to which window we were supposed to go to. So we kept driving forward and then reverse till we figured out where we were supposed to be. We probably looked so dumb, but I honestly betcha, those are the small things that make it fun to work in the drive-thru. Seeing all the crazy things people do. <br />

And this was my outfit of the day. :) I washed all the clothes I just got and decided to go with these ones today. The shirt, shorts, and necklace were all some of my findings from the clothing exchange.<br />
<br />You don't always find amazing things, since they're mostly used clothes or ones people don't want... but if you look hard enough you can get some good stuff.<br />

<br />
Lastly, while at Payless my old-roomie and I decided to check out the jewelry. We wanted to get some toe-rings but just couldn't decide on which ones.... however she did find a pair of earrings and I found a ring. Clearance and discounts are the best! We bought them together and then just split the prices. (<i>Payless almost always has a buy one get one half off discount</i>) So happy! Cause now I got a nice statement ring that really doesn't get in the way of doing stuff, and it was super affordable!<br />

Well, the sun is back! ...and so are the sheep O.o Crazy stuff is going on in Rock-City today. It's trying to make me think I live in a farmland, though I'm pretty sure all we have are rocks.... and the yellow grass that the sheep are eating. Random! I guess it's the city's way of "being green" when it comes to mowing lawn. lol<br />
<br />
So I absolutely love this shirt! Yes, I did have to iron it this morning, if it looks wrinkly still it's cause I've been wearing it all day and I may or may not have taken a nap in it too. hehe<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Wow, I look absolutely exhausted, I'm gonna say it's cause the school semester is only 3 weeks away from finishing and not the fact that my friends and I stayed out salsa dancing last night. The same way we decided that the guy who wouldn't dance with me must've just been too intimidated by my pro-dancing skills. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">:P</span><br />

But I must say if you go too often it kind of loses it's magic. The guys never look as good from up close, and if they do, they usually don't dance, cause they don't know how or are too scared of looking like they can't. <br />
<br />
Dancing with friends is the best. Unfortunately since most of my friends didn't grow up salsa-dancing like I did I usually end up having to teach them which is fun for a while. Then I'll usually force them to dance amongst themselves and wait for someone to ask me to dance. Though you gotta be careful for creepers. Thankfully, after a while you kind of can tell who wants to dance and who wants more. I try to be friendly with the people, but if they start asking about my relationship status or such, I'll not be so talkative. <br />
<br />
I've come to the conclusion I like best taking turns dancing with people I know and youngsters like me. They usually are not so creepy and you feel more comfortable around them in general. Like yesterday, I decided to only dance with people I wanted to dance with even if that meant asking some people. It's only to dance, not to go out. And it definitely beats standing there waiting to be noticed. There are great dancers out there who love to dance too! You just need to find them. So go grab your dancing shoes! and a dance partner!<br />
<br />
Talking about shoes, I got these wedges at Naturalizer. They are so comfortable, you barely notice the height! They give a great summer vibe, great for dressing up, but still great for being semi-casual. I was crazy enough to wear them when bike riding and chasing the sheep in the fields around school. lol <br />

Sad thing. Sheep are seriously the stupidest animals you will ever meet. I wasn't even trying to get close to them and they'd automatically run. Sometimes they wouldn't notice me cause they were busy eating but as soon as one ran they all did. So it was kind of hard to get any good pics with the sheep, since I was using a timer and a tripod, but it was fun trying. Cause how often do you get to take pictures with sheep?<br />

On top of all the other crazy stuff I did, I used blue and purple eye-shadow. It actually looked kind of nice. I did a little bit of a sparkly blue and faded it to a purple and then used my usual very light pink for the highlight.<br />

Nobody thinks they're rich but just look at us. We have internet, food, running water, a bed, a house with a roof, a flushing toilet. Many of us even have a closet full of clothes and will still say, "I have nothing to wear." What are we talking about? Just being able to live in the US means you're in the 20% of the richest people in the world.<br />
<br />
I've always been super passionate about serving in Mexico, especially since my first missions trip to Tijuana in 2009. Being part Mexican, I really love the culture, the language, the people. This year was amazing and life-changing, feel free to check out my <a href="http://lifelaughterandsmiles.blogspot.com/2012/04/amor-ministries-cristo-me-ama.html">blog post on it</a>. <br />

This year I got to share my tent with a girl who actually went to fashion school! Gotta say she was pretty cool as is, but that was definitely awesome. Helped me learn a lot about actually looking nice. It's really not all about the clothes, but in how much you take care of yourself: taking showers, washing your face, styling your hair. It's all about the basics. Nothing super tricky.<br />
<br />
Knowing we were gonna be out in the dirt, playing with kids, building homes, etc. I decided to learn how to tie a headscarf, turban style. lol It was pretty easy and looked nice. Kept the hair out of my face and my head cool.<br />

The main piece here was obviously the shirt/dress. It was sheer though, so I had to wear it with a brown camisole and pants. Pulling it together was pretty easy though. Throw on some skinny jeans, some brown ankle boots, and a few simple accessories.<br />
<br />
Several times throughout the missions trip my youth pastor emphasized the fact that guys like it when girls wear they're hair down. Apparently even Taylor Swift knows this. (eg. "I was riding shot-gun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car" from <i>Our Song</i>) Thus I decided wear my hair down when styling it. lol<br />
<br />
Accessories were even easier. I noticed my friend always wore two golden bracelets, a pair of golden earrings, and a golden necklace. Yea, we were on a missions trip so there weren't as many options, and yet she always looked pulled together and like if she chose those particular items for every single outfit. Why? Cause gold looks good with her skin tone, and she obviously knew it. Makes me think I should actually get some gold jewelry too, cause it looks way better on me than silver does.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I actually got the idea of this belt/string around the waist from my friend. It gives shape to the dress and helps accent this waste.

The sheerness gives it that extra touch of femininity while still being completely modest (that is if layered). Since it hangs loosely it also helps to not accent any extra weight around the midsection. And the arms are just angelic!<br />
<br />
The bracelet might not seem like much, but it's actually very symbolic to me, especially after a missions trip. I got it three years ago from one of my very first VBS students, Angela. I met her when I went to Tijuana on my first missions trip. I like to keep it as a reminder of how God can use us to change lives all over the world.<br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's amazing to be back home.

However, now that I'm here, I realize there aren't that many really nice blouses here either..... shopping spree???? jk</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thankfully, I had this cute shirt I snagged at last year's clothing swap. It was my first time wearing it and at first I wasn't sure how cause I left all my camisoles at school, however I realized if you wear a strapless bra with it or a bandeaux bra, you could easily wear it without an undershirt. The loose flow of the blouse also makes it perfect for the warm weather and helps shape you nicely, especially if you're petite and/or curvy. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Need tough, endurable shoes that can withstand the rain and long walks? Hiking boots are the way to go! Add some skinny jeans, an oversized sweater and a hat for the look. Then keep it girly by adding a statement necklace.<br />

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><b><i> If fashion is all about self-expression, then who says I need to be an expert to talk about fashion?</i></b></div><br />
<br />
After a fun reunion with my bestie from the dorms (six hours of walking in the mall), I decided to not be ashamed of my fashion blog. Sure I may not be an "expert" or super "trendy" but I'm <i>Perfectly Me</i>. And like she says, there are tons of girls out there who's job is to run a fashion blog, and they display tons of simple outfits. However finding where my digital camera ran off to, might be a helpful start ;)<br />
<br />
Somehow this semester in my effort to pack "light," I accidentally brought more shoes than actual clothes leaving me with barely any fashion choices. That was in January, and I haven't been home since. When my family came up in February for the school's musical I was in, I asked if they could bring some sweaters, T-shirts, and regular clothes..... yep, you could imagine what happens when you're that vague. I got a stack full of fifteen T-shirts, two old sweatshirts, and a few other items. Thankfully, Spring Break starts next week so I'll get to venture my closet back home and bring back everything I <i>need</i>.<br />
<br />

Lately, I've been trying to take the fewer nice clothes I have here and mix 'em up. Get some new outfits I haven't done before. I really liked this one. I've always worn this gray zebra print cardigan with gray or white or black, which has kind of made it really dull or not that appealing. However when thrown together with a pink cami, it just makes the outfit that much girlier; plus it gives sleeves to a shirt that otherwise I would not wear in public by itself.<br />
<br />
What I love most about wearing pink is that it softens the appearance of an outfit. Such as the outfit with the leather jacket from the other day.<br />
<br />
I accessorized this outfit by wearing pink earrings and my prayer box I got for my <i>Quince Años</i>. I also threw on a white bangle for fun and contrast.<br />
<br />
Another great thing about this cardigan is that it has pockets. Not that I ever use them, but still. <br />

Boots go great with everything. I love these ones in particular. They're super comfy, black, and flat.<br />

The lighting in this bathroom was especially good too. lol<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Everybody enjoys the movies: <i>Cry Baby</i>, <i>Grease</i>, <i>Footloose, Dirty Dancing.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why? Cause it's fun to kick back and see how culture used to be. To see how much fashion has changed. After watching Sara Bareilles' music video for "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUe3oVlxLSA&ob=av3e">Gonna Get Over You</a>" I felt totally inspired to copy this old greaser style.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Sara Bareille's Outfit: Leather Jacket, White-T, Denim Jeans, Sneakers, and high-pony with a ridiculously awesome poof!</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvOaAIE7OnPQNc1LBPO56RRrM1JX__4ITMzhonUk0IrlTlphZ-zUDyUPAxVgBcKQ5gd2gR5apz-FIJFQuDaqwMkSiuW0hZPe7zsAWD_qr7UQNQd9sv9xepQLts6vkHVKikCqkCsKe1jVhp/s1600/sara.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvOaAIE7OnPQNc1LBPO56RRrM1JX__4ITMzhonUk0IrlTlphZ-zUDyUPAxVgBcKQ5gd2gR5apz-FIJFQuDaqwMkSiuW0hZPe7zsAWD_qr7UQNQd9sv9xepQLts6vkHVKikCqkCsKe1jVhp/s320/sara.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
MY OUTFIT:<br />
<br />
Cropped peach top with a white undershirt, tan shorts, animal print headband, and white Reebok.<br />
<br />
Soooo.... maybe my outfit doesn't quite resemble hers. The truth is as simple as her outfit was I don't have some of the main pieces, such as the white t-shirt. Why? Cause my only white shirt turned a mucky yellow when I accidentally washed it with my scarf, and my jeans are hidden somewhere in the bottom of my laundry basket. Thus I decided to stick with a crop top, and the shorts just went so well with it.<br />

It was so nice. I totally didn't realize it till we were there, but it seems that every pair of shoes I brought were boots. lol</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I just love them. I think I have four pairs of boots and some rain boots a friend let me borrow. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So I decided to just show several of the different outfits I put together this week in one post. I'm kind of bummed I didn't take more time to choose "cute" outfits but I just kind of threw several warm sweaters and my jeans in my bag and hoped something would work, only to realize I could've gotten some sweet pictures in the mountains (without so many random people staring at you).</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OxKdkQAfpaA/Tv4DPwGl20I/AAAAAAAAAoM/Hgv1QvBC_UA/s1600/DSCF5240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OxKdkQAfpaA/Tv4DPwGl20I/AAAAAAAAAoM/Hgv1QvBC_UA/s640/DSCF5240.JPG" width="640" /></a> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is probably one of the simplest: an oversized sweater, jeans, a scarf, and a cute pair of rain boots.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aij83PrX3ME/Tv4CJ7_9ynI/AAAAAAAAAns/Dy8CRyKUtiY/s1600/DSCF5309.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Aij83PrX3ME/Tv4CJ7_9ynI/AAAAAAAAAns/Dy8CRyKUtiY/s320/DSCF5309.JPG" width="320" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So these are my friend's boots and they are the cutest! they're pretty comfortable and don't really look like rain boots, but they definitely block out water.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-864quujW9Ko/Tv4KKKauwaI/AAAAAAAAApI/egeylDjapro/s1600/DSCF5242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-864quujW9Ko/Tv4KKKauwaI/AAAAAAAAApI/egeylDjapro/s640/DSCF5242.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here's another one: a cropped-sleeve sweater, a long sleeve shirt, jeans, a scarf and tall boots. Not to special, but it works well. Great for a chilly day, you could add more layers too if it gets really cold, in this case I'm wearing leggings under my jeans. hehe</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5-Gd8ax8V1Q/Tv4EYuIRzJI/AAAAAAAAAoY/Kak5ls-IPNM/s1600/DSCF5425.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5-Gd8ax8V1Q/Tv4EYuIRzJI/AAAAAAAAAoY/Kak5ls-IPNM/s640/DSCF5425.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lastly, I wore this next outfit when we visited the frozen Lake Alpine. I probably should've worn different shoes, but I didn't realize there was gonna be snow. Thankfully it wasn't too deep.</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I absolutely LOVE the fall. You get all the pretty colors like burnt orange, mustard yellow, burgundy, brown, green. All the earth tones. My favorites <3 </span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I also love the weather. Cool enough to dress warmly without having to be stuck in rain boots or huge jackets.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So anyways, I loved this outfit because it looked super wintery, was really warm, and had really pretty colors in it (yea not earth tones but still). And today I was actually able to tie my hair up. Of course it took two hair ties, first the top half and then the bottom half.... plus several bobby pins. Lol then I just used a hair clip to make it look more styled haha.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So I'm super excited cause I get to go home tomorrow for Thanksgiving Break! Plus I was thinking of cutting my hair again. I know that it kind of doesn't help my trying to grow out my hair. But it keeps flipping out all weird. One of my teachers said I should get a pixie cut again, but I was thinking of getting an A-line.... cause I don't want it too short. Well anyways you'll see soon. Until next time, God Bless You!!!</span></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div>Nicole Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12314925569301097462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522726957934719426.post-69807267919588612922011-11-12T16:02:00.000-08:002011-11-12T16:02:33.637-08:00Art Show Opening Reception<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI4ZVXV6OOg2164Lcc-jWw2QCY78hfM0TcLvIQr3jhJl0DY-hvAwLBQeoxRbjjTC-2Lst4rHV7y4UFmS-dFlhPkTUucx6AFVa8pDh11ZzjWi7DXadKn9eOjKXdzsETaPwHYGn2gwT8l-bN/s1600/DSCF6111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI4ZVXV6OOg2164Lcc-jWw2QCY78hfM0TcLvIQr3jhJl0DY-hvAwLBQeoxRbjjTC-2Lst4rHV7y4UFmS-dFlhPkTUucx6AFVa8pDh11ZzjWi7DXadKn9eOjKXdzsETaPwHYGn2gwT8l-bN/s640/DSCF6111.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIuzRkYWZvLLVdW4tU5ZrF2Rs-UT_xtXYpAJ3-NkJ4E8CRojL38bcquQ-iJH4s367BamDsZghcuercFYftX4wx-lB_nMtR48u4XNn18YUk67dI_UunJG5WZDTbtGn0z1tdHNkY_jPOd3GR/s1600/DSCF6098.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIuzRkYWZvLLVdW4tU5ZrF2Rs-UT_xtXYpAJ3-NkJ4E8CRojL38bcquQ-iJH4s367BamDsZghcuercFYftX4wx-lB_nMtR48u4XNn18YUk67dI_UunJG5WZDTbtGn0z1tdHNkY_jPOd3GR/s640/DSCF6098.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I absolutely love getting super dressed up. Thanks to our school's new Art Show held in our library I got to dress super formal without feeling over-dressed. Everyone there was wearing some sort of suit or dress with a huge winter jacket, it looked really cool, and fancy. Well I actually <em>had </em>to dress up. Why? Cause I got asked to play the background music for the Art Show for two hours. So much fun! Piano is definitely one of my favorite instruments, and I don't think there are too many things more fun in life than just sitting at a piano and improvising for an hour or two, well at least not for a song-writer. Forget all the rules and theory and just let your feelings flow out. That's when I believe some of the prettiest music comes out. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>So anyways, dressing up is pretty simple, just wear a black dress, nylons, heels, and you're good to go. Having a really nice jacket can help too though. I got this one for about $20 at <em>Teen Challenge</em> a few years back and now I've finally gotten to use it. It's been super cold recently and it actually fits well now so I've just been using it to style up everything from leggings, dresses, skirts, jeans, any oufit possible. lol<br />

</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've also been using this purse a lot. My bestie Elika gave it to me last year. I love it, cause it's quite spacious without being ridiculously big, and it's brown, thus it goes with pretty much everything. :) It's also the perfect size for carrying my lit books, much lighter than carrying a huge backpack, more stylish too! </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Here's another example of a time I wore this jacket.

So I know I've been gone for forever, sorry about that. I guess you can say I needed some time to stop pretending I was a fashionista and actually learn how to dress like one lol. So, since I turned 18 I've been paying more attention to what I wear. Yes, this meant not seeing what looks "cute" but what looks nice, put-together, and not kiddy. I guess you can say my style has changed significantly then, but for the better. So I finally decided to show you guys one of my outfits, this is the one I wore today!<br />
<br />

Welcome to my aptarment, yes this is my room, which I share with the best roommate ever. Anyways this is more of my style now, simple but classy. Really it's only a pair of leggins, flip-flops and a nice shirt. If you've got a cute enough blouse all you need to make the outfit are the accessories. See how I did it.<br />
<br />

Well my roommate found the prettiest earings at Target on discount so she got them for me. I've practically worn them everyday since. The variety of colors in the beads make them go with pretty much any outfit especially ones with earth tones in them (which I wear a lot). I've also got a simple bracelet and my purity ring.<br />
<br />
<br />

My roomie and I also decided it was time both of us invested some money in accessories, so we bought some jewelry at Kohls. I chose this owl necklace. I have fallen in love with it. It just spices up and completes any outfit I wear it with. You can adjust the length of the chain for it and because it has purple, blue, and green, it can be worn with practically anything! and these flip-flops have flowers on them, making them just a little cuter ;)<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What I'm seriously thinking though has made the outfits look more grown up lately though is my new haircut. Yes, I know it'll take longer this way to grow out my hair, but I was tired of it having no shape, so I added some bangs, and the rest it does naturally. It's super simple to maintain and I think it looks cute.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Lastly, my roommate the other day helped me do a smoky eye look, which came out super pretty, so I tried to copy it. Probably not quite the same, but I'm really liking it. The trick she told me is only using the darker eyeshadow on the outer half of the lid and using a lighter color on the inner corners, then blending them. And of course you always gotta have the eye-liner and mascara.<br />
<br />
And that's all!<br />
<br />
Yep, I love Sundays, cause with going to church and all, I have a reason to dress-up and look cute. hehe <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I definitely spent my 18th B-day with my fam, but that doesn't mean I didn't make sure to also go party it up with my friends, two weekends later. For my b-day, my girlfriend took me shopping for my grown-up woman dress. It was so funny to hear her say after I would take a dress off the rack, "put that back, you're not 17 anymore." kind of made me realize though how much I do dress like a kid still. Thus these past few weeks I've been doing my best to dress like a big girl! lol </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For my B-day outfit we went for a classy satin blue strapless dress and some silver sandals. My favorite thing about it is that I could totally wear it for a casual event too. I plan to wear it over the winter by changing it up with a blazer and different shoes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had the funnest time, just being girls, dancing with each other, and having a nice dinner afterwards. Though I do agree with them, I will prolly not go back to a club for a long time. I don't grind, only dance. Anyways when in that type of environment it's pretty easy to show people to respect you. Demand it. If you don't dress trashy and if you act responsibly, you can have tons of fun without being treated like a ho. The guys are begging for your attention, let them know you're not the typical girl, but someone of value, the daughter of the king.</div>Nicole Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12314925569301097462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522726957934719426.post-762917400860998412011-07-23T14:48:00.000-07:002011-07-23T14:48:54.159-07:00Summer Lovin<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vBXg4K5XwxXZkQPqLYmoUjoGtSzhxhHBpGSYLRU5XTiToNuwuqyEA68HJuzogVprqM-ZNN6ruX0xvai5uY5uLxhiuWeWXKoF5ciNIh-QD9Uzpurfj-pdAyghmwQnPWg62Wdc8Iu6n87O/s1600/nicole.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1vBXg4K5XwxXZkQPqLYmoUjoGtSzhxhHBpGSYLRU5XTiToNuwuqyEA68HJuzogVprqM-ZNN6ruX0xvai5uY5uLxhiuWeWXKoF5ciNIh-QD9Uzpurfj-pdAyghmwQnPWg62Wdc8Iu6n87O/s400/nicole.jpg" t$="true" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This has probably been my busiest summer ever!

So I'm finally back... from San Francisco. We visited for a day trip. Where I've been all these other summer months: working, enjoying my family, having fun. :) So after watching "The Devil Wears Prada" yesterday morning, I realized I needed to get back to my fashionista self. lol And here's my post for today.<br />
<br />
We actually didn't visit the bay, but the beach. The weather was amazing. It was cool and windy but not cold, and the sand was so warm. The waves looks fantastic and it was lot's of fun to walk around with my family.<br />

At the beach, my little brother and I found the coolest wall full of graffiti. Looked pretty boss. lol So this was the first time I tried pulling off these pink legwarmers, they're <i>really</i> long, but worked nicely for keeping warm. They also gave my outfit a more juvenile look. And for the shoes, I just used some comfortable hiking boots. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I'm not gonna say much today cause I got this huge research paper due at midnight heehee. But this is what I wore: a bright yellow and white plaid shirt, brown sandals, denim shorts, and an awesome yellow hat!

So I know this is our last week of classes and that huge papers and presentations are due, but amidst all the stress I can't help but take some free time ;) Ever since I started coming here, I've definitely learned how to play pool. If you don't know how, you should try. It's pretty simple and looks cool.<br />

Well, today we had our final for our advanced conducting class, and I got to admit it was pretty bomb. Our music department is so different from most other schools.... Not completely sure yet if I hate it or love it. <br />
Anyways no one but our instructor would have us conduct Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" for the first half of our final (I swear we've never done anything like that in class! It was so random.) Of course, no one but me would actually start break dancing in class. I didn't realize we had actually started the final, I thought we were supposed to do Mozart <b>: /</b> At least I got extra credit points for moonwalking :) LOL.<br />

Oh yeah, so back to fashion... this is a fashion blog after all. I went pretty casual/collegiate today. However I still got quite a few comments. I styled my plaid shirt differently today by tying the bottom and wearing a cami underneath. I also finally pulled out my knee-length denim shorts and my white <i>Reebok</i> (shoes). Then I added the final touches with my cross necklace and hoop earings. One really cool detail I want to point out though is the shirt. Seriously check it out! It's got like this awesome splattered paint on it. Pretty legit. I'm guessing it was made like this but I don't know, since I got this as well at the clothing exchange :)<br />

Only a week and a half left till summer, and I can feel it. The weather has been crazy, it's so hot here.<br />
<br />
Oh how I love this dress! I just got it at a clothing exchange this past weekend. However the super amazing bow, do not come with it. I added it using a bobby pin lol. The bow is actually off a headband I had years ago, I knew the bow would come handy one day. The other thing I'd like to point out is the red headband. I saw a friend of mine wear an adorable navy blue and white outfit with a red belt, which gave me the idea of wearing a red headband with my blue and white dress. heehee<br />

</div>Anyways.... I just recently (yesterday) started taking my blog pics with a tripod all by myself. I do feel kind of crazy... pointing my camera against a wall for five minutes adjusting the frame, then running back and forth hoping I actually pop up in the picture, and smiling awkwardly as the camera counts...10. 9. 8. 7... you get the idea. But hey you gotta do what you gotta do. How do you get your blog pictures done?Nicole Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12314925569301097462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522726957934719426.post-48802439061800426802011-05-02T22:43:00.000-07:002011-05-02T22:43:14.552-07:00Pastels and PlaidHey everyone!<br />
So I know Easter already passed, <a href="http://lifelaughterandsmiles.blogspot.com/2011/04/l-o-v-e.html">(click here for my post on Easter)</a>, but I still decided to wear this pastel plaid shirt today. It was just too fun and summery to not wear bright colors and shorts. <br />
And my hair is finally growing long enough to style differently :) I pinned back the sides to make it kind of look like I had a half pony. I can't wait for my hair to be long again, I miss it.<br />

Life has been getting the best of me lately. In this case, pink eye. Thus the lack of mascara in any of the following photos. So I've kind of been forced to go all natural this week, though it was actually relieving. One thing less to stress about. <br />

I got to pull out some of my kiddy make-up using my bright blue and pink/purple and my liquid liner, which I used to create some "wings." I actually look really pale in the pictures above, mostly because of the lighting, but it was very dramatic, not a look I would probably go for on a regular basis.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Last Friday, our university's choir held a night of classics featuring Broadway songs with a highlight on Andrew Lloyd Webber.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So we got to dress up in all black, and wear make-up so the stage lights wouldn't wash us out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">For me, I went for a more natural look, though I switched up the way I applied my eyeliner by applying under the lashes as well as the lash-line. This made my eyes look twice as big as usual. Perfect for Broadway :)</div><br />

</a></div>So this is one of my close friends at school. Her name's Rachel. She's really amazing, got a great sense of style, plus she's a fellow blogger. I felt so privileged when she asked if she could feature me in her <a href="http://rachelparrishthethought.blogspot.com/">blog </a>the other day. It was for my outfit with the floppy hat. Anyways you should check her blog out, she's always got something great on it and it's a really interesting blog. Nicole Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12314925569301097462noreply@blogger.com0
