Ugh. Haters!

Fabulosity Everywhere!
Here's a project that takes... 15 minutes tops with an amazing outcome. Given!
Here's a little D.I.Y. school supply project that will leave everybody gawking.
Materials;;
-Flat backed gemstones, found at Micheals.
-Something that needs to be given a make over. (Folders are the best, but just about everything relatively flat works, like binders and notebooks.)
-Liquid glue. (Elmer's is fine!)
-Ribbon
-Sequins
1)Take your school supply. In this case, I will be working with a composition notebook. Lay it out on a flat surface, like a desk.
2)Take all of your gems, ribbon, sequins, and lay them out in a cute design. Some ideas;
*Place ribbon all the way from the top to the bottom, and left to right. Have them meet in the bottom or top right-hand corner.
*Place gems in random order
*Put clusters of sequins around.
*Make a "star" by arranging sequins around gems.
3)Once you are happy with your designs, start glueing them onto the thing you are working with. Be careful to not use too much glue, or else you'll end up with slightly sticky fingers!
4)Let fry overnight for best results.
Voila! You have yourself the most adorable little thing ever. =]
One more tip; Micheal's sells ribbon for a dollar a roll, which is pretty long. Stock up on some, you can use them for crafts, as well as hair decorations. Simple polka dots look absolutely fab in long hair, and can really add an extra BAMM to your outfit.
Love you guys! Please comment for me, and have a BAMMTASTIC day ;)
Love Lots,
Francesca<3

Time to Take Advantage!
If you've walked into a store like abercrombie or hollister, you may have noticed that most of their sale stuff is made of adorablee camis that no one wears anymore....
That's what you think.
I went to hollister and bought lots of them to wear over stuff!
It may look a bit weird, seeing a cute floral babydoll cami over a plain tee, but that's how I'm wearing my summer camis. In fact, lots of girls started doing that at my school.
(What can I say, trendsetting is my passion ;])
At abercrombie and hollister, almost all of their special babydoll camis are around 10 dollars each, which is totally good. Here are some, not from this season exactly, but might be.
The Jordan, 12.90 from abercrombie.
Also comes in navy and yellow!
[I absolutely adore this cami, do have any idea how freakin adorablee it would look with dark wash straight leg jeans? Plus, green is the new purple.]
The Elaine, 9.90 from abercrombie.
Comes in yellow too!
I am loving this, it looks adorablee and nautical. My favorite.
Balboa Island, 9.90 from Hollister.
Comes in navy too!
This is too too adorablee, I love the design. The straps, fit, and babydoll! This would look fantastic with a white longsleeve!
Ponto Beach, 11.90 from Hollister
Also come in navy, pink, and green.
Love it, the little bow is a definite 10 on the cute scale.
Love the design as well<3
Pin Tuck Tank, 11.95 from American Eagle.
Super adorablee. Classic looking. Hawt.
Must I say more?
Before I end this post, I would like to say wearing basic longsleeves or elbow length shirts is a definite yes, no exceptions. Unless you want to walk around being made fun of because you're the freak wearign all summer clothes, go ahead. But I happen to think it would be much nicer to get compliments on your tanks, while looking stylishly ready for fall.
And I also need to stress this- wear your tanks ONLY with plain basic colored shirts under. That means no cloud, zebra, polka dots, or stripes. No exceptions.
Ciao girls =]

HOW TO WEAR CARDIGANSS
Here is the super cute, super cheap, and super well fitting ffor all body types in teal.
(From dELiAs*, as shown from my last blog.) Sells for 19.99 dollars.
Next, add a tank top under in a color that looks good with the cardigan. I chose a royal blue color, which is in the same green/blue family as the cardigan. Make the tank simple, because the sweater is what we're really focusing on.
(AE Boyfriend Tank for 15.50, buy one get one 50% off)
Skinny jeans are a must. It totally balances out the flowyness of our cardigan, and looks classic, cute, and trendy.
(Abercrombie, 50 dollars-ish.)
To complete the outfit, flats will looks perfect, but boots and Converse will do depending on your style. Headbands and bracelets are also good, in jewel tones.

Hair Tips =]
Haiiiiiirrr. It may seem like a far away thing you'll never master, but it's not like that.
Today I'm talking about hairstyles and tips for people with generally straight hair.
Shampoo and Conditioner-
I've tried a lot, but my all time favorite is Bath and Body Works. They make shampoo and conditioner pairs and amazing scents. There are tons to try, but I like Vanilla ones the best.
My hair routine- get shampoo and conditioner. Pour and put it in my hand, then mix into my hair. I let it stay in for 2 minutes or so, then wash it out really well.
If you do this, your hair should be pretty smooth. For good results, comb it right after.
Hairstyles-
Gawsh. If you're one of those people who look horrible with just their hair down, I fell your pain. I have to have my hair in some kind of style other than just... well down!
1)I love hairbands. If you have hair longer than your shoulders, I totally recommend stocking up and investing in a couple... a basic rule is that the longer your hair, the thicker the headband you can pull off. (But no. That does not mean that you can wear a super chunky one.) Claire's has some good ones for relatively cheap.. but you can definitely find them pretty much anywhere. All you do is make sure your hair is totally sleek and fine, take a hairband and brush your front hair up, and slide the headband on.
2) The poof is one of my favorites! It does take some practice though... all you need is a hair clip. Take a small-medium sized bunch of hair from the front of your hair, where your bangs could be, and pull it back. Twist 1-2 times, and clip in place. Thick haired girls will probably need to use 2 clips. Instead of hair clips, you can also use a hair elastic, or even bobby pins.
3) Braids are one of my favorites. I happen to think that anyone with highlights, whether natural or not, looks great in this style. To take it one more step higher, then I totally think adding a poof before you braid is amazingg. It's an adorablee and relatively easy look! Ashley Tisdale sports this look a lot, and never looks bad in it at all.
4)This is a combo hairstyle that I love to sport around school. Take you hair, and twist it around like a bun. Then, take a hair elastic that matches your hair color, and use it to hol the bun in place. I usually need to twist it around 2 times, but that depends. The hair should now be in a messy bun, with some hair sprouting out. Spray on some hairspray, (eco-friendly puh-leasee) and then slip on a headband if you want. This look is effortlessly easy, and super cute too.
Important hair products-
*Hairspray that DOES NOT AFFECT THE ENVIROMENT. Search online, and save the world.
*Bobby pins, to hold hair up. Very important!
*Hair elastics. Need I say more?
*Hair clips. In plain colors are fine, but why not go for a sparkly blue one? ;]

EEEKKK!
Gosh, school is sooo crazy. Already, I have lot of homework.
But I swear I'm not dead =]
Quick post, but I would just like to say that since the cold is coming in,
BUY SCARVES.
Right now, I always get cold, and I think scarves are adorablee. My personal favorite way of putting them on is to fold the scarf in half, then loop the side without the loop in the loop.
Hollister and abercrombie are making an adorable line, but so so is Ralph Lauren =]
Here are some pictures-
Splurge!
[Micheal Kors 175 Dollars]
Look the same for Less

Ohemgee. Trend?
Trend? NAY or YAY...
So.. recently at my school, there's been a big trend.
You wanna know what it is?
Well... it may shock you. But you better read it.
The new trend is tube tops over tank tops. Like, beach chic. Most of the girls are wearing it with scrunched top tube tops, and a contrasting color underneath. Recently, my fried Lizzi wore a pink abercrombie tank top with a blue tank top under. It looked cute, I guess. But I'm not a huge fan of this "new trend"
If I was forced to wear this trend, I would add some items to change the look.
First, I would start off with a great blazer/jacket, in preferably a neutral shade like brown. Second, I would add dark jeans, preferably skinny styled. Then, I'd finish it off with a pair of suede boots, a chic slightley boho headband, layered necklaces, and some lip gloss.
The end look? Couture bohemian with a hint of abercrombie.
Love it? Hate it? Tried it? Want to?
Comment and make my day.

Gossip Girl Outfit
Ohmigod. This Gossip Girl outfit is to die for! This outfit is from the episode "Blair Waldorf Must Pie!" [Hahaa] It's a Marc Jacobs, and it's absolutely adorable. The colors look great, and I love to the neutrals. The only thing I hate is the stockings! I would go with plain charcoal ones instead of those vintage chic ones.
The mini sweater is an adorable touch!
Loving the color.
Take a look at those shoes!
LoveLoveLove it.

My Favorite Fall Bags
Ohmigosh! Fall is coming up, and that definitely calls for some new bags and totes to use, right? Well, whether you have 20 dollars or 200 dollars, here are some bags that I loved. They all come in a variety of different colors, pattern sizes, prices, and more. I hope you find you will love!
1) The Vera Bradley Tote
Vera Bradley is one of my favorite designers for bags. Their bags are all adorable, and they have things like pencils, make up kits, backpacks, and pencil cases in those adorable patterns x3
This bag is especially one of my favorites because I love the pattern, I adore big bags, and all together, it looks absolutely amazing. This pattern is called Java Blue, but my other favorites are the Peacock, Raspberry Fizz, and Mod Floral Pink. And the best part that it usually retails for around 50.00 dollars, because I think it used to be 70 dollars? I'm not completely sure.
2) The Juicy Daydreamer
Oh.Mi.God. This is one of the most amazing bags I have seen and fallen in love with in my entire
life. The fit, style, colors, and everything just looks supperr good together. It comes with a drawstring like top, and has a lot of charms with it. The one I showed you in the polyvore is my favorite color/style, although they do make other ones. I've even seen a green one! Anyways, I think this purse is really great. It has a TON of room, more than you might think it does. It's also really soft. The only bad part about this wonderful bag is that it is a bit pricey. The website eluxury.com sells it for 225 dollars, but you might be able to find it for a lower price at more stores. This bag is a good investment, because you can use for any season. I love this bag!
3) The Forever 21 Hobo
This one is really cute and perfect for the 3 M's. (The mall, movies, and more.) It is from Forever 21, a really popular store that sells so many things at low prices. The bag itself comes in
maroon and purple color, plus the navy color I showed you in my polyvore set. This bag could easily match with almost anything, anywhere. I'm thinking of going to the mall and buying this bag! The bag is also an amazing one to buy because it is very cheap- at the store,you can buy
it for 14.90 dollars. Add this bag to your fall collection now.
4) The Coach Bag
The moment I saw this bag, I fell in love with it. The colors is gorgeous, in a really eye-catching hot pink that is a new trend for the fall and winter season. The design of it is also amazing- I love how it's a plain bag, but the pockets are also really functional. It has 2 main compartments, so that is also a really huge plus for people who carry around tons of things :)
It's actually name is the "Leather Peyton" and it only comes in a silver color and the beautiful pink color I showed you in the polyvore set above. If I were the Coach designers, I would definitely consider making a new line of bright colors, like red.The gold metal buckles and more are a really great touch. The only thing I hate about this bag is that is is quite expensive. The Coach store sells it at 798 dollars, close to 800 dollars. Buy this bag if you actually have the money, and fell in love with it the moment you saw it.
5) The Wetseal Hobo
Yay, another hobo! This hobo bag is really chic and cute. The colors within the stripes are adorable, and easily matchable with any outfit. It reminds me a lot of India, due to the bright colors and sparkly gold finishes. This bag would also be perfect for the 3 M's, practically anywhere. It is from the popular clothing store WetSeal, that makes tons of funky and fun things like top, sweaters, and shoes. It has a reasonably good amount of space inside. And it is marked a very good price- only 24.50 dollars! I would love to be a proud owner of this cute bag.
6) The Dooney and Bourke Bag
Wow. Right? Just wow. This bag is definitely BAC. (Beautiful, amazing, chic) I would love to buy this, but I would need to save up quite a lot of money to buy this. Dillards sells this bag for around 345 dollars. I love the glossy black finish in the bag. It is mysterious, yet very Parisian chic. Qui? Qui? ;) The design is very elegantly simple, but definitely high fashion. This bag from Dooney also supports the 3 M's. The colors it comes in are a bright red that Dylan from the Clique books would love, a hot pink that is adorable, and the glossy black that I showed you above in my polyvore set. This bag may be pricey, but definitely worth trying to purchase.
I hoped everyone like my review on some new fall bags that are going to be very BAC this season. Please comment and subscribe if you haven't, and if you have any questions about my blog or suggestions, just drop me an e-mail at casuallycouture.gmail.

Body Splashes
I absolutely LOVE body splashes.
On days when I feel kind of sick and not my best, I ditch my perfume and go for some Bath and Body Works body splashes. They have amazing scents, some are even better than those pricey 100 dollar ones. I always buy the travel size ones, because the normal ones are like HUGE. And old scents are nasttyy :] This blog will be about my absolute favorite scents from Bath and Body Works, from the ones that I've tried. (I haven't smelled them all!!)
This one is probably one of my favorites out of the entire collection so far. It is called "Irresistible Apple" and it smells so good! I honestly can't describe it, but the apple scent smells great. If anyone want to buy a couple of body splashes and start using the, this is a definite must buy.
Wow. I know this one is called Dancing Waters, and that that doesn't sound like a great scent, but it actually is. It's very simple, but definitely there enough to make a statement. It's also a great scent to use if you're looking for a signature scent!
Midnight Pomengrate is just absolutely fabulous. It smells really glamorous and classy. I use this one a lot, and I get compliments from my friends all the time. This scent is also extremely perfect for night time occasions, like parties, restaurants, the movies, and more. And I also ave a story to go with this scent... one I got the hand lotion in this scent, and I put it on at school. Then, this guy who sat next to me smelt it and he got all excited and kept begging me if he could have some... haha I did let him and now he's obsessed with it :)
Oh.My.Gosh. Warm Vanilla Sugar is amazing! I love using this in the daytime. It smells sweet, but not like-over-the-top sweet. It is the perfect scent for a warm and happy person, but for anyone else too. If you smell a lot of it, it smells exactly like some cookies. But it also has a hint (like, a really tiny hint) of some flowers. I love this scent!
Hope you liked my blog on these boddy splashes. Puh-lease comment and subscribe if you haven't.

Back to Basics
Haha. Back to Basics was Christina's album.
But it's also the idea about what I'm going to write today. Sometimes, a lot us feel like we have absolutely nothing to wear. When you do feel like that, you can just pull together a ton of basic clothes to make a supercute outfit. [Not many people actually realize that though..] So here it goes. After you're done reading, please comment. Thanks!
Outfit 1) Get a your longest (from top to bottom) plain white shirt you can find. Short sleeves are good. Next, grab a pair of plain leggings, in either black, gray, or charcoal. Find a plain belt, and tie it on the top of your hips. Finally, wear your sunglasses it it's in the summer, and slip on a pair of flip flops or flats in white, or a color that matches your leggings. The final look is very downtown simple chic.
Outfit 2)Grab a simple colored tracksuit jacket. Juicy makes great ones, but you can match the designer style with a less expensive version. Wear a basic tank top in a non-showy color under. Add a pair of darkwash jeans. Finally, put on a great pair of flip flops or sandals.You get a very casual look that is still trendy and very comfortable.
Outfit 3) Wear a denim skirt, preferably in a medium-to-light wash. Now, grab a simple basic longsleeve that looks great on you. (I think Hollister has a lot of these) Think of the fit! Pair this with any type of shoes except for boots and heels. Wear this with a matching beaded bracelet. The end look is a simple but trendy feel, with a sprinkle of Parisian style.
Outfit 4) Grab a pair of dark wash jeans. Pair this with a plain white button down. Underneath, wear a very cute cami (you'll find out why) in a color that looks great on you. When you are wearing these tops, don't do any buttons on the shirt, and roll up the sleeves to your elbow. Finally, wear a pair of flats, mini wedges, wedges, or low heels that match your cami. And that's your look! Extra credit if you add a skinny hairband that matches your cami. The final look is girly nerd chic. Haha!
I hope you don't have any style ruts any more. And if any readers out there have any ideas, suggestions, or questions, just send me an e-mail at casuallycouture@gmail.com. Ciao!
