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.

Ciao!




Puh-lease ignore this.

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!
