HITTING GOLD!

     For christmas this year all I wanted was a tee pee! My amazing dad made me one and I am very thankful he did so I could do this amazing photo shoot with the help of my best friend Melisa Guevara to take the pictures for me! She is very talented and is off away at a Disney Internship right now, I know she is going to do amazing things in life and I'm very glad she made time for me before she left! I also had amazing help from my best friend Kyleigh Hall who did my makeup. A lot of time went into this and I hope you guys love the photos as much as I do! For this photo shoot I incorporated a bunch of different styles in it. I have a Native American feel, Bohemian, vintage, and a little bit of modern. All the props I got at a thrift stores. I gotI the chandelier, vintage books and the suitcase from White Elephant. The red rug, fur coat, and the big blue suitcase from This That and More Thrift Store. If you are looking for old Unique furniture and vintage suitcases and collectables check them out because they had a lot of cool thongs!  The red little stool chair from Blessingdale’s Thrift Store. All the other things I already had laying around. The gold dress I am wearing is from Abercrombie and Fitch that my Aunt Deb got me from the NYC so shoutout to Aunt Deb I LOVE IT!  The head band I am wearing I made from flowers you can buy at any craft store. For this Photo shoot I was most excited about that Fur coat that I got for only $5.00!!! If you have ever gone thrift shopping for fur coats you would know that is an amazing deal!! Also if you are looking for old vintage suitcases go to This That and More because the teal old suitcase I got is heavy duty and I only got it for $3.00!! I plan out days to hit as many Thrift Stores as I can which is really fun especially if you go with a bunch of friends! The easiest way is to go to your favorite store first then from thereI see where the next closets one is and go check it out! You never know what you will find! This time I got really lucky and hit gold with everything I found, and I hope you all love the photos!! Remember to comment on what you would like to see on the blog!

New YEAR!! New YOU!!

       Hey everyone sorry about the lack of posting lately its been crazy busy with the holidays and I hope you are all enjoying your break as much as I am! This year I decided that I am actually gonna set a new years resolution and make a list of goals for myself so I have a vision board of what I want to become and where I am wanting to go. Ive tried doing the new years resolution before and of course mine was like everyone else's which is to workout and just like everyone else I was all in to it for like a month then after that I released how much I missed eating whatever I wanted so I gave up, but honestly the working out resolution never works out so I didn't feel that bad about it! This year I made more realistic goals so I'm crossing my fingers I can stick to them. It's a New Year so it's a starting point to figure out who you want to be and figure out the New You! This year try mixing up your style and trying new crazy things! Its time to think about things different, change up your hair and plan many great adventures! Or if you are perfectly content with who you are then thats great too! Your one step a head of everyone else! There is new things to come and I decided I'm going to dedicate myself more to my blog and actually post stuff more often, because I've been slacking! This New Year's I got blessed to have a white New Year's I would have preferred Christmas but hey you get what you get! We also found this frozen pound so we did a little ice skating which was really awesome. I am glad its still the winter season so I can wear sweaters and leggings everyday and for this winter shoot I did just that! In the winter I always dress for being inside but so when I go outside I can just throw on a heavy jacket and still look great and be warm! If you wear to many layers you are just going o feel like you have a hundred pounds of clothes and not be comfortable when your inside. So here I decided to wear my black leggings from Victoria Secret with my high low quarter length shirt from Tilly's. I accessorized with a black scarf from Old Navy but I tied the ends together so it would be an infinity scarf. I also wore high knee socks from Tilly's and black combat boots from Shiekh Shoes. Just an fyi Shiekh Shoes around this time has a buy a boot get a boot for free or a dollar so check that out! For this outfit i choose to have a hunter green Abercrombie and Fitch heavy jacket so when I go  outside I'm still warm! Adding the hunter green also gave it a little bit of color instead of just a black and white outfit and still is settle. For my hair I just threw it up in a messy bun and I wore my glasses just for fun! I hope everyone is Having a great break and I'm excited to share everything that is to come!

Ootd

Today's outfit of the day I decided to go all black because it's finals week and it's been all rainy so I fit in with weather and final week vibe. My shirt is from Tillys and I just got it the day before from my aunt and I'm in love with the pattern on the front! It is also perfect to wear leggings with because it is long in the back. So obviously I'm wearing leggings and they are from Pink. My scarf is just a regular scarf made into a infinity scarf simply by tying the ends together and my head band is from American eagle. The combat boots are from Shiek shoes and if you are even wondering my socks are from old navy not like it matters but they were so comfy! I have my hair in a knot bun kept up by my cream and gold button knot hair ties. I hope everyone is super excited for Christmas because I know I am! 

Weddington Way New Years Eve Wedding

  

     Ive had an amazing opportunity to participate in this style challenge for a New Year's Eve Wedding! I don't know about you but when I think about New Years Eve I think about Black, Gold ,and GLITTER  so for this wedding that is the colors I choose to go with. I went with the cream long sleeve lace dress because it fits the season and theme just right, it could be used for an outside wedding or an inside wedding. A long sleeve dress looks good on all body figures and chest sizes so everyone can feel comfortable and modest. So now we are gonna work are way

from the top to the bottom in all the fun outfit details. For the hair, of course we have to follow the rules
                                          Strapless= all hair down,
                                       V-Neck=half up half down,
                                              Halter=up do, and a
                                        One strap=side pony/braid
but since the dress we choose has sleeves you can have the choice of an up do or all hair down. I choose the relaxed all down beach wave because it looks great with long or short hair. I believe the most important thing when planning bridesmaids outfits is that you have to find something that will look great on everyone body type and also what hairstyle will look good with every length and beach waves is one of those unique styles. Even a side twist for the bangs or a braid to pull hair out of the face is perfect. We don't want the bridesmaids hair to be overdone and extraordinary because we don't want it to enter fear with the bride to be.


Usually the bride goes with a more natural look and nothing to out of the world with the eyes so I say its a perfect opportunity for the bridesmaids. I choose to tie in the colors of the weddings into the eye makeup by not going over board. With the cream color of the dress a smoky eye with a shimmery gold will look great.
Also back to making sure everything looks good on everyone this eye makeup looks good with every eye color. We are going for a natural face makeup with a bold eye. A soft nude lip will also look fabulous! Everyone knows that before a wedding you have to get your nails done so for the nails I choose something a little different. Instead of doing the traditional french tip I
choose a nude polish with a gold tip                                         to match the eyes and the colors of the wedding.
               

Now lets get down to what every girl cares the most
about, SHOES! I picked out a gold glittery ankle boot  stiletto which is way out of the box but it looks great!! I've learned that in fashion sometimes you have to get two things you would not ever put together and I just put them together most of the time it works in a weird way! It adds a touch of fabulous and screams New Year's Eve! It can also be worn with a ton of other outfits and is just a fun shoe! Now for the little details that make a world of a difference. The jewelry I choose are all from forever 21 and is a great place to get jewelry for cheap when you are on a wedding budget. I chose simple teardrop rhinestone stud earrings. For the necklace you can go either way, a statement necklace close to the neck or one that hangs a little. You don't want one that hangs really low. I picked a tight pearl  and gold statement necklace and a pearl and diamond necklace with a gold chain. Both tie into the wedding trend I am in love with which is the broach bouquet. I wouldn't necessarily have the bride have one, unless incorporated with flowers but for the bridesmaids I love the idea!! They are so fun and different and come in so many different ways. A New Year's Eve wedding would be so fun and there is a millions ways you could plan it. This is my bridesmaid fashion breakdown and I've had a blast doing it! I'm thankful for the opportunity that Weddington Way gave me, so a huge shout out to them and if you have a wedding coming up go check them out! A special thanks to Alex for emailing me in the first place and picking me to participate in this amazing December style challenge!

Start of Something New...

 I am so excited to say that I have been working on new things and am so excited to share them with you! I have been working on designing and up cycling a lot of new clothing and wanted to start out with something simple that is way cute and super fun! I am obsessed with these and I am so excited I have my very own collection of them now. I am talking about the knot hair ties and boot lace. Almost every time I wear my combat boots I wear boot lace with them. People ask me all the time where do I get them and I say that I got my first pair from my mother who bought them for me at a boutique a long time ago but now I make my own! I also love the knot hair ties and have worn them in my blog post before so now I decided to make my own collection of them to bring a little bit of my style into yours. Christmas is right around the corner and these are great for stocking stuffers or just great gifts for friends. There is so many ways you can wear them and I will be putting up a bunch of outfits so you can see how I wear mine. They can come in all different sizes for the boot lace Kids for $8.00 and Adult sizes Small, Medium, Large for $10.00 they also come in four different colors Grey, Navy Blue, White, and a Peach/Cream. If you order them and take a picture of the outfit you wore them with I will be putting them up in a highlight blog post. I am so excited and can't wait to see how you style them and all the cute hairstyles with the cute hair ties! To order email me at brookharris0@gmail.com!!

My mans sweater

Okay so we all know that every girl loves to wear their boyfriends sweater to bad I don't have a boyfriend so I have to shop in the boy section at buffalo exchange and don't care how many people stare when I say I'm not buying this for my boyfriend I'm being this for myself. No matter if your boyfriend gave the sweater to you or you bought it yourself boys sweaters make the perfect outfit for winter! This sweater I am wearing here as I said I bought from Buffalo Exchange and it is originally from H&M which is the perfect place to buy a boy sweater for girl use. The men's sweaters from H&M are not to baggy and do not have big baggy sleeves, watch out for baggy sleeves because that is what you do not want when wearing a mans sweater on a girls body. A men's sweater is best worn with leggings or high top socks not with jeans so make sure it is long enough to cover up everything. Wearing it with leggings or high top socks gives a lay back cozy feel while looking fabulous!!! Try to get fun patterns and different materials so people know it is not a lades sweater. Mix up colors with the sweater and the leggings, make your twist on the outfit unique. I have also been in love with the flash tattoos so instead of wearing any jewelry I used the flash tattoos in odd places to be different. I loved the shoulder cap one so I made that side of my sweater hang off my shoulder to show it off. You can get the flash tattoos from online but Aeropostale has a rocking deal for a packet of them for only four dollars! It was the perfect outfit for a perfect weekend in Flagstaff with my best friends! So the Sweater is from H&M, the leggings are from Victoria Secret Pink, the boots are Shiekh Shoes, the purse is from Target, the lace socks are at any holiday boutique, and I got the flash tattoos from Aeropostale.
