Hey guys! So please bear with these poor quality photos. When I get home from Michigan I'll film a video so you guys can see these clothes better. Anyways here is what I got:
My limit was $200 and I didn't spend all of it actually. I wanted to pick up some nicer things for this school year though. I have a lot of clothes already, but I wanted to have stuff for days I want to look my best too. I also got other stuff with my own money. I got 2 pairs of sunglasses from ALDO, a lipstick from MAC, a bath bomb from LUSH, a gift for my friend from Urban Outfitters, and some other gifts for my friends at the Museum of Science and Industry. I went shopping in Chicago, and it was so much fun. I also got to do some other stuff while I was there. It was so much fun, and I'm glad I got to do that.
What did you guys get for school?
xxoo,
Claire.

You can find some adorable ones out there and here are some of my favorites out there. Whether it's brightly colored, tribal patterned, or simple and chic there is bound to be something out there for you.

I'm super picky when it comes to perfumes. So the fact that I now own this solid perfume says a lot. You can by Lust for $10.95 here.
So here's the breakdown:
Smell:
This stuff smells amazing. It has a floral/woodsy scent. It has jasmine, ylang ylang, rose, and sandalwood scents in it among other things. It smells sultry and can be paired with a lot of other perfumes. The scent also lasts all day. And whenever you move you can easily get a whiff of it.
10/10
Residue:
This feels a little heavy and oily for the first few minutes it's on, but after awhile it sinks in and it's not greasy at all.
8/10
I would definitely recommend this to you ladies. If any of you have Daisy by Marc Jacobs, it pairs extremely well with that too. (Yes, that's my little secret).
xxoo,
Claire.

One of the best things at Lush is their bath bombs. I'm sure everyone can agree. Anyways I FINALLY got to try one of the bath bombs I've been wanting to try forever. Pheonix Rising is $6.95 and you can buy it here.
So here's the breakdown:
Smell:
This thing smells wonderful. It's an apple cinnamon smell and it's amazing. The smell lasts FOREVER too. It lasted for about 2 days on me. It's seriously addicting.
10/10
Moisturization:
This thing is so moisturizing, it's crazy. In a way it kind of feels like a film, but after you get out it soaks in and your skin is super soft.
10/10
Longevity:
The color and smell lasts in the bath for a really long time. With other bath products, I would only get a 15 minute use out of them. This lasted the entire bath for me though.
10/10
This is my favorite bath bomb so far. I loved how the bath water was a deep purple, and the glitter didn't get all over me, and the smell was amazing. I definitely recommend this. It's really enjoyable.
xxoo,
Claire.

Hey everyone!
Recently I tried the Brazened Honey face mask by Lush. It's $6.95 and you can only buy it in stores. It's recommended for people with oily and/or congested skin.
So here's the break down:
Smell:
Okay, I don't know about you guys, but smell is always one of the things that is a deal-breaker for me. Luckily this smelled GOOD. It smelled liked flowers mostly, and the smell didn't go away for ages.
10/10
Texture:
The texture was really nice. It wasn't too goopy, but it wasn't too grainy either. It felt nice against my skin. The coldness on my skin from this felt really nice too.
9/10
How well it worked:
My skin felt AND looked so much better after using this. Even though I have dry skin. It felt super clean and my face was glowing afterwards. I can't even imagine how well this would feel with people who have oily skin.
10/10
Overall this product is amazing and I would buy it again... and again, and again, and again. The only downside is that this has a shelf life. It lasts about 2-3 weeks after purchase. So I would only buy this if you know you would use it frequently.
xxoo,
Claire.

Hey guys! When I have a long day of making myself look good for a party, I have a lot of work to look the best I can. So here's how I do it.
When I wake up I grab a bottle of water and do a 30-minute work out. It helps with bloat, after all you want to fit into that dress later, right? Then I eat a yogurt with a handful of Kashi Go-Lean cereal. Both of those foods help with bloat too.
Then I cleanse my face. After my face is cleansed, I put on a mask. I let it sit the required amount of time then wash it off. I tone and moisturize my face as usual after that.
After my face is clean I do my nails. Clip, file, buff, paint, let dry is the process I tend to go with for both my hands and feet. Then I clean around the nails as best as I can.
After the nails are done, I shower. Showering after you paint your nails can help get rid of all the polish on your skin if you're a messy painter like me. In the shower I wear a shower cap if my hair isn't too greasy, otherwise I wash it with shampoo and instead of using conditioner I put on a hair mask for 10-15 minutes. While the hair mask is sitting there I shave and wash my body.
After the shower I put lotion on. I let it sit for awhile before putting on a pair of jeans and shirt.
Finally I get to the point where I do my hair. This is my second favorite part of getting ready. It usually takes me up to an hour to do my hair, so I have to make time for it.
After my hair is finished, I do my make up. I like to put on foundation for parties, otherwise I skip it since my skin doesn't have many problems. Then I do my eyes, cheeks, and lips. Like any smart person, I only draw attention to one of the features. Also I don't like to do the matchy-matchy thing with the outfit I'm wearing. I usually compliment it with a soft neutral smokey eye (taupe eyeshadow on the lids and some black eyeliner) and a soft pink lip.
After all of that is done, I spray some perfume and get into my dress and accessories. As you can see it takes forever for me to get ready for a party, but it is definitely worth it.
What's your favorite part of getting ready for parties?
xxoo,
Claire.

Hey lovelies!
So the worst thing ever for your skin is getting burnt, and it only takes 15 minutes out in the sun for that to happen. I got badly burnt on Monday and I'm still in pain. So how do you avoid getting burnt?
Wearing sunscreen really helps. Every year before this year, I would hate tanning. It's so bad for your skin, it ages you, and all of that stuff. This year though, I actually wanted to stop looking so pale. So on Monday I went to the beach with my best friend. I put on sun screen, SPF 50 to be exact, and just laid out in the sun for 4 hours. I could feel the burn the last half hour I was there. It only got worse, and I ended up getting sun poisoning. I feel better now, but I know that it's something that no one wants to get.
What should you look for in your sunscreen bottle? Well make sure it's at least SPF 30. Also make sure it protects against UV-A and UV-B rays. Look at the ingredients and make sure it contains zinc oxide or titanium oxide. Those two ingredients help block harmful UV rays.
How should it be applied? It should be applied 15-30 minutes before going outside, that way your skin can absorb it. Also make sure to reapply it ever 2 hours. If you're swimming, sweating, or using a spray sun screen, make sure to apply that every 60-90 minutes.
Make sure to use these tips the next time you plan to be out in the sun!

I think you all have seen this trend by now. Bare skin, bras showing, a sultry glamour that has graced the bodies of women everywhere.
 |
| Something like this, but maybe not as fancy, right? |
It's a great trend, don't get me wrong, but I have seen so many girls give it a bad name. So here are my rules for this trend:
Where not to wear this:
- School.
- The office.
- Wherever conservative people are, basically.
It's inappropriate to wear this at those places, I'm sure you all can agree. I really hate seeing this in school. These girls put on their old and ratty bras, super slutty bras, or even a bra that was made for the disney-loving tweens. So what goes underneath?
A bandeau. This works out in most situations. You can get a lacy one, a fun pattern, or even a plain one. (Aerie has some really cute ones here.)
In some situations you can wear a bra. A plain, black bra could work. In fact, its my top choice if you must go this way. You can do a lacy bra also, but use that for special occasions only.
Bandeaus don't belong under sheer tops only though. You can wear them with several different kinds of shirts. I love wearing my bandeaus with over sized tank tops, lace/crochet tops, and those adorable cut out tops.
How else would you wear this trend?
xxoo,
Claire.
