Perfume

I have been meaning to do this post for a long time, but only got around to it today.  It's all about perfumes that I have and love.  (Which is a lot!)

I am always buying body mists, lotions, perfumes, and body washes, because I just can't resist a good scent!

Perfumes I Own:

Lucky You by Lucky Brand

This perfume is on the cheaper side, but I still think it smells good.  I usually like fresh scents, but this one  is very different from most of the perfumes I own--in a good way!

Green Tea Scent Spray by Elizabeth Arden

A very fresh, clean perfume.  This one was given to me by my mom... and it surprisingly smells really good.  It's not too strong, and it reminds me of spring.

Be Delicious and Be Delicious Fresh Blosson by Donna Karan New York

I have mini versions of both of these perfumes, and I honestly do not know which one I like more!  They both smell great, and are shaped like little apples.  So cute!

Perfumes I Don't Own, but Still Love:

Twirl by Kate Spade

Viva la Juicy by Juicy Couture

I am also a huge fan of Bath and Body Works.  My mom had me hooked at a young age, and I have been  using Sweet Pea everything (lotion, body spray, and soap) for as long as I can remember.  I have tried a lot of the other scents from Bath and Body Works, and Sweet Pea is definitely my favorite.

June!

Well, this blog is another month older and another month wiser, but I don't think that the author, if that's what you would call me, is really at that stage yet.  I haven't posted in a few days, and I missed the first day of June. :(  It's not like I have millions of followers who I let down or anything, but I wish I was more on top of things.  

Right now I should be studying for a Spanish test, but I find myself shuffling around my house doing everything imaginable under the sun except studying.  I need to be more committed.  Especially with finals coming up in a mere 3 weeks.  I better start takin' care of business before it's too late!

But (almost) more important than my stress is the fact the summer vacation is almost here!  I am counting down the days in my agenda book, just waiting for the number to be zero.  Trust me, time has never gone slower.

Memorial Day

Formerly known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day of recognition for all the brave, fallen soldiers.

Memorial Day is usually a day that most Americans spend at pool parties, cookouts, barbecues, go to the beach, watch fireworks, and other summer festivities.  

I had the day off school, and although I didn't go to any parties, I still had a fun day.  Just want to commemorate the brave men and women who risked their lives for our country.  Hope everyone had a nice long weekend, and remember why we have such a meaningful day.  Happy Memorial Day!

Flat Out

Ballet flats are my favorite, favorite, favorite type of shoes of all time.  They can dress up jeans, or dress down a skirt with a sweater.  They are much more comfortable than heels, and look nicer than sandals.

You can buy a pair of flats with a flower, bows, sparkles, peep toe, zipper, stripes, polka dots, solid, patterned, and everything in between.  They also come in a variety of prices ranging from $15 to as much as $350.  Ballet flats are, besides high heels, the ultimate girl shoe, and they are flat-out adorable!

Twiggy

Twiggy, born Lesley Hornby on September 19, 1949, is an English model, actress, and singer.  When she was only 16, she became the first prominent teenage, British model, and her face was known worldwide--from France to Japan to America, and everywhere in between.

She was known for her boyish look, short hair, long eyelashes, freckles (which most people tried to hide), and her thin build (which many criticized).  I know of her as an America's Next Top Model judge from cycles 5-9, and I thought she was a great role model (like Tyra Banks) because she had gone through it all at a young age.

Her pictures still circulate Tumblr, and I think she has a classic beauty that will never go out of style.

Messy Buns

In the summer, my hair is forever in a messy bun or ponytail.  I have a mass of thick, wavy hair, and when it is 80 degrees out, there is nothing I want to do less than to blow-dry or straighten my hair in the heat.  Making the perfect messy bun is an art that I would love to master.  It can make beach hair look great, or horribly crazy hair look much less horrible.  Its the ultimate summer hairstyle!

Love, Michelle

Vogue

Vogue is the most influential and widespread fashion magazine in the world.  When people think fashion + magazine, Vogue is usually the first thing that pops into their heads.

Vogue also has a branch called Teen Vogue.  Its a great style magazine that many girls look to for advice on style, beauty, celebrities, fashion, etc.

Vogue, started in 1882 as a weekly publication, has been around for a long time.  Below are some vintage Vogue covers that I found on Tumblr.  Vouge has left its mark on the fashion industry, and will inspire many for years to come.
