Happy St. Patty's Day (Outfit Post)




Outfit:
-Olive green cardigan // Target
-Navy floral print tank top // Target
-Distressed jeans // An outdoor swapmeet
-Belt // Target
(And I'm shown wearing two different pairs of shoes which I will explain, promise !)
-Ankle fringe mocasins // Minetonka
-Oxfords // Target
-Owl necklace // Forever21

By the outfit shown, I'm sure you've guessed I love Target. I love Target an awful lot, actually.

Anyway, it rained today ! When you live in the desert like I do, and it can get up to 90 degrees during the winter, you learn to enjoy these rare rainy days. My favorite type of weather is rainy and stormy (minus the wind), so today was perfect. I often dream about living in a place where rain is a daily occurance, like Washington. I would absolutely love that. Anyway, my mom took pictures of me in the rain, and that's why I changed into my oxfords, because they're leather and I didn't want my moccasins to get ruined. I also have no idea why my belt is unbuckeled in one of the pictures. I think it got uncomfortable or something. Maybe it'll turn into the new trend, eh ?

I hope you all had a fun (but not too fun ;p) St. Patrick's Day!
Remember to look for my "Double Sunday" tomorrow !

Forever, Becca

New blog ideas

Okay guys.
So I am definitely not the best at keeping up with anything, including this blog, without something to look forward to ! I'm just like incapable of it, and I'm sorry.

So, I'm going to add some weekly things, and some things that will be semi-weekly, etc.

I brainstormed today, and I've come up with a couple ideas.

1) Tutorial Tuesdays.
-I've seen some of these around, and it's a beautiful idea. So every Tuesday (mostly) I will post some kind of tutorial on here ! I already have some ideas lined up and I'm super excited (:
2) Double Sundays.
-Don't take my word on this, but I'm pretty sure I came up with this all on my own. Every Sunday I will post a list of TWO (hence "double") favorites for a list of, say, 5 examples. (Songs, celebrities, diy's, outfit posts, etc.)

So that's all I've really come up with, but if you have any ideas, I strongly encourage you to comment them below ! As you all know, I'm new in the blogger world and it makes me nervous at times ! (:

Thanks ladies !

Forever, Becca ♥

P.S. Check out my outfit post from last night ! I posted it late, so you probably haven't seen it yet

Mini outfit post //



Outfit goes as followed:
-Lace cream colored shirt // Thrifted
-High wasted skinny jeans // Cotton on
-Oxfords // Target
-Owl necklace (not pictured) // Macies

I apologize that these pictures aren't the best, I didn't have my beautiful mom for a photographer ! I took these pictures myself, with my ipod, and a camera app I had to download just for this so I could use a timer. I took about fifty pictures and these were the only two that were remotely alright, and that's saying a lot ! Lesson learned, next time I wait for my mom.
Anyway, on the particular day I wore this, I was *scary music* locked out of the house ! That's right, I am a latchkey kid. I switched bags that morning and I guess I forgot to switch my key with my school supplies, so this resulted in me sitting in the backyard (Bladder full and starving, mind you) for two hours until my mom got home from work. So I will not be forgetting my key again anytime soon.

So I hope you like this outfit, I kind of put it together last minute, but I got lots of compliments on my shirt & I love it quite a bit myself. When I thrifted it, it wasn't something I would normally wear, so I kind of went out on a limb there ! But I'm glad, fashion risks are just apart of the job. (:

What I wore //


 



I wore this outfit on Sunday to Church, and I'm absolutely head over heels for it !!
Especially the skirt and top. I found the top at a garage sale last Saturday for a buck ! It just can't get any better than that. And the skirt was purchased at Target with gift cards from my birthday. I love the bright color and I love that it goes down to my knees !
P.S. Thanks to my mommy for the beautiful photography <3

Anyway, outfit goes as followed:

-Shirt // garage sale
-Cardigan // My mom's
-Skirt + matching belt // Target
-Tights // Target or Walmart
-Shoes // Styles for less


Have a lovely day !

Forever, Becca

Fishtail bun (tutorial) //

I'm sure everybody's seen the braided bun and twisted bun, and don't get me wrong, those are SO cute.
But I just recently watched a video from Macbarbie07 on youtube where she showed the idea of a fishtail braided bun !
And it's such a simple concept that I figured I'd show it on this blog. (:

Step 1: Gather all your hair into a high ponytail (think cheerleader)
Step 2: Fishtale braid the ponytail, and tie at the end with an elastic.
Step 3: Twist the braid around the base of the ponytail (topknot style)
Step 4: Pin braid down with a couple bobby pins.

The braided bun stays firm and I promise you'll get compliments ! This is perfect for those days when you just don't want to get up early to wash your hair. :p

Stay beautiful !
