Diary Of A Middle School Fashionista #2- Angeline

Vintage Edge









   In middle school, I was WEIRD! hahaha not that I minded anyways. My style was unique and not in a good way, in a hot mess kind of way. My hair was always oily and too straight and I didn't do much with it but just let it out, which was a big mistake.
    If I could go back to my middle school years, I would definitely give myself some tips that I wish I knew back then. If you're in middle school, it can be hard to try and find yourself and express who you are through clothes. You don't want to end up looking like it's all too much and too grown up, but you also don't want to look too child-ish. An outfit like this conveys   both in one which is perfecto :].
    You can wear a loose beige t-shirt like this one with high waisted dark blue jeans, a pair of navy blue Dr.Martens (which i loveee) This makes your outfit look casual with a hint of edge to it, and a satchel. You can either do a high messy bun with this, and if you have really curly hair you can do a low side loose pony. If you want you can wear mascara, light pink blush and some snob or angel by MAC to keep it simple. Bye bye, good luck :]!

Diary of a Middle School Fashionista #1






    So remember those middle school days where it was fun to wear striped neon pink tights with a bright green glow-in-the-dark tee-shirt. Well, I was one one of those chicks whose hair was horrible and frizzy. It was always pulled back to an unflattering ponytail or a really low bun. Trust me, I don't have that good hair. 
    My hair is 100% Dominican so when i wash it and don't go to a beauty salon pronto, SATAN has been released! HAHA I had the bushiest eyebrows and the worst girl-stache that I happily inherited from my mummy. If I could take a trip back in time to middle school and give younger me some advice, I'd happily go. 
    Now this first outfit doesn't necessarily have to be for middle schoolers because I would definitely wear it now. It's more of a "dance" type outfit. I forgot to put in the leggings though. :( Some cute patterned leggings would complete the outfit. The jean top goes really well with the mesh-type skirt and then the velvet oxfords. It's like three completely different fabrics which I LOVE to mix up. Th clutch also adds a vintage feel to it because it's beaded and has that worn-out gold colored stars on it which is soo fab. The makeup is very light because when you are going to a dance, you want to look more dressy and fancy. 
    When I was in middle school, my makeup was HORRENDOUS. I had my black eyeliner smudged all around like an emo raccoon . Wow, this post turned out to be really long but anyways, so long! Hope I helped and hope you enjoyed! Angie will be posting her version soon.

Cold in the Summer :/...?

             Ello! This is Angie and Mari, reunited and it feels so goooood :). Today is s actually a weird day because, its summer, and....IT'S COLD! It's funny because when you go outside, you see a whole bunch of people wearing shorts, freezing assuming that it'll be hot like it's been all week, but guess not. So, we're just going to give some tips of how to still keep a summer look in a chilly weather like this.

     1. Cozy Knit Sweatah's!
Knit sweaters are purr-fect for this bipolar weather. As seen in this outfit, Angie is wearing a forest green sweater from Urban Outfitters, It's normally as long as a shirtdress but because it was a little bit hotter out so I decided to throw her some rolled up shorties and some mid-calf booties.     
      2. BOOTS!
Oh my water (same as OMG with a twist)! I'm going crazy about all types of boots this summer ranging from Dr.Martens or 'Docs' (as i like to call them) to Hunter boots. Docs are really versatile in general. You can literally wear them with ANYTHING. I have literally tried to think of an outfit wear you couldn't wear Docs but it's just impossible. Anyways, Docs or Hunter boots look good for that edgy/rocker chic feel. You can be all laidback with your Docs, rolled up shorts, fringed bag, and a nice flowy boat-neck top in order to survive the mini chills and you can maybe add a studded leather jacket.
      3. BLUSH/HIGHLIGHTER
Sorry for the minimal use of typing in CAPS lock...excuse our sarcasm. Blush is Mariyesi's absolute favorite thing to use not only in the summer but ALL YEAR LONG. Angie usually doesn't like it because she doesn't like to look tan and she doesn't like blush too much. When it's all rainy outside (and it's still summer) you want to look nice and dewy, right? No? SAY YES! You should wear a cream blush which gives you that glowing effect on your cheekers! Highlighter is also one of those things that make you glow like an angel. We prefer Girl Meets Pearl, Benefit's HighBeam, or those MAC mineralized skin finishes thingy's. They give you such a healthy glow that we can't stress.
    4.Fedoras or just hats
Hats are such a great invention. They are so versatile. If you are having a bad hair day, you can just grab one and walk straight out the door. When it's raining and you don't feel like lugging around an umbrella, fedoras are usually worn in the summer where I live. Hats can also spice up any boring outfit. Perhaps you have a silky racerback, high waisted shorts, and some wedges on. Add a hat and voila, perfecto!
Hope we helped out!

Burgundy Flowers! OOTD


It was REALLY sunny out the day we shot this and it we just a random photo shoot and we weren't prepared. Angie looks like she's thinking 'Hey sexy!' LOL Type in the comments what you think she's thinking. Oh, and the top part( camisole, floral top, and necklace) is from Forever 21(I personally have a love-hate relationship with that store) the jeans are from American Eagle, and the oxfords are from Bakers

Oh l'été...

           Ello folks! My name is Angie and I'm the one you usually see on LookBook and in the pics. This is my first post. Yippee! I'm basically a taller and skinnier version (not trying to insult her or anything) of Miss Mariyesi a.k.a Malady (my nickname for her, pronounced 'MUH LADY') :]. But, lets get to the point of this post. Summer is here!!!!!!! Booooo. I hate the sun. This means start taking out your shorts, wedges, tanks, sunglasses and lots and lots of sunblock, you don't want to end up looking like burn toast.  But , it's not all bad. Summer also means you get the chance to wear your nice sundresses, gladiators, land most importantly your bathing suits! Oh! and let's not forget about make up. Make up is the perfect touch for every summer outfit, even if its something as simple as lip gloss and some mascara. It's kind of like an alternative to accessories. Hopefully you'll make the right choices this summer and catch up to the latest fashion, Be back  soon with a summer makeup tutorial!  :)

Blazing SPRING heat!

Oh em gee. Today was really hot and it's only spring! Mother nature is killing me! It felt like it was 100 degrees outside when it was only about 89-90. I guess humidity is a total b****! I used to love the heat and the green grass but now I want winter back! I miss the cute Doc's, overdoing the blush to look tan, and my cozy knit sweaters! What are your fave things in the winter? Leave a comment below. :)
