A "Taylored" Look

Any of you guys ever heard of TAYLOR SWIFT? Well..I am a huge fan of hers..she is so inspiring, amazing, and has such a sweet and caring personality! I went to her Speak Now concert in September a little a while ago...and it was AMAZING! Each song was like it was a music video...she changed outfits every couple songs and everything! So lately I've been doing some research on her and I read book about how she became famous and how she got to be where she is today, I got this from the library so I didn't have to pay for it which was nice. For me Taylor is my role model for everything I especially love her sense of style its very girly which I LOVE! She is also the only celebrity I've heard of that actually CONNECTS with her fans personally...for example after every concert a certain amount of fans get picked to go meet her after the show which she calls the T party room. Anyways, I was at Bath and Body works a couple weeks ago and saw this lotion it was only $1...and immediately I thought Taylor Swift...so I just had to get it! What I'm really trying to say is I think if you need a role model or someone so just be inspired by to start something or just because..Taylor is the person!

 This is the book and some pictures that are in it!

She loves long dresses and after seeing her in concert..I have developed a liking for them too!

Natural Nail Month!

I got thinking to myself and was like I want to do something special for November. I did announce a contest on the 4th but it hasn't really worked out quite yet so I'll keep you posted on that. Anyways, I was looking at my toes and thinking to myself oh I should paint them you know just to brighten them up a little. But then I was like I guess I haven't actually let them BREATHE for a little while so I decided to, at least keep my toes nail polish free for the rest of the month....I'll keep ya posted on the fingers haven't quite decided what I'm going to do with them yet. So for the rest of the month I challenge you to not wear any nail polish. Let you nails breathe a little!:)

Happy November!

So if you all got my previous newsletter I mentioned a little CONTEST coming up....I now have all the details worked out, so here they are....I want you to wear your favourite colour in the most creative way (make sure it’s one main colour so I can see what I'm dealing with here thanks!)  You can think of silly, formal, casual etc. Then send your pics into me and I'll look at them. Before you send them in please give me a description of your outfit so when I post them people will know what kind of look you’re going for. Also, please let me know if you don't want your picture posted. You have from Saturday November the 5th till Saturday November the 12th to email them to me. I will announce the people who have entered who has the best silly outfit, formal outfit or fancy, and the best casual if I get enough of each of those categories.

Need A Fun Way To Get Rid Of Your OLD Clothes??

Try planning a clothing swap with your friends....
This is how it works.....
You invite people and tell them to bring clothes they don't want anymore then you put them all on a table and take whatever you like, that way you give away some stuff but your still coming home with something new ( well new to you!) . Then you donate the clothes that no one took to a thrift store!
Its really fun you should try it! And you don't have to bring just clothes you could bring accessories too! Or even anything you want!

Summer's moving on....

Its beginning to get a little cooler now....which means its almost time to go back to school...which is  my favourite part of the year.....it means back to school shopping which I love.....i already went back to school shopping in my aunty's giving away pile.....and I feel really blessed to be able to wear her cute clothes....so I"m having a contest...which is to send me a pic of yourself in your favourite back to school outfit and if you win which i will chose by drawing names...you'll get an  owl from cutesies collection! The owl is red with white polka dots and red blue and yellow flowered wings it reminds of going on picnics in the summer so i thought it would be a nice thing to have like a memory of summer.
Send your pics to jenayastang@gmail.com and i'll post them on my blog!

Cocnut Oil Treatment

So last night I asked mom to do a coconut oil treatment in my hair so it will be all shiny and soft....so all you do is you have to have dry hair...rub the coconut oil in it then wash it out 5-10 minutes later. But please make sure you wash it out because when I woke up this morning it was all greasy because I didn't wash it all out!
But if you do wash it out your hair will be really shiny and soft! :)

tips for a happy/ organized closet

I like to organize my closet, so when your looking for a certain top you can find it right away. I have a wardrobe so its not as big as a normal closet....so i organized it in the most efficient way possible..on the top shelf I have three nicely FOLDED piles of clothes the one on the left is tops/some dresses that don't need to be hung...the middle pile is just t-shirts and spring tops ..and the last pile is winter/fall because I won't be needing those for a while hopefully :). then below the shelf I have all my clothes that need to be hung. And on the bottom I have my pj's and pants so jeans, and shorts. I also just got a new shelf right beside my wardrobe which has three fabric boxes in there i have my leggings and belts in one, and my hair accessories in the other, and in the last one I have my my socks and stuff. It defiantly gives you more space for clothes if you have a wardrobe and need just a little bit ore space.

Spring is coming...



Spring is coming... Mailee ( my photographer/cousin)

and I wanted to go on a photo shoot for her photography practice and picture for my blog...here are some of the pics

Me in a spring is "almost" here outfit..it's great because you still have jeans to keep your legs warm and I have tank top in case the sun decides to peek out and get hot!

 

My favourite flats out of the two pairs I have

I love the look of this picture.. good job Mailee! 

And my photographer couldn't have done it without you Mailee!

A cool thing to do....

hey guys
have you ever wanted to remember that outfit that you love?? Well I made this thing up so I can remember them......all I do is get a notebook and right down everyday what my outfit is so like shirt, pants, accessories, hair, and shoes.....It also works great if you don't know what to wear some days!
I hope you enjoy it :)

Thrift Stores Are Great!

So  last week I went to Value Village on a shopping date with my cousin and dad...I had 25 dollars to spend and I spent 22 dollars....this is what i got...a strapless grey really comfy lose shirt from garage ( the store) a volcom plaid tank top, a navy striped tank top, and a wallet all for 22 dollars....the grey top from garage brand alone would have been 20 dollars at the store and who knows how much the volcom shirt would have been!
So the point is that you could probably find anything in a thrift store for cheaper than it would be in the real store, if you look hard!
