A very special classy tuesday.

Well! Hey there!

Classy This week was a success in more than one way... I TURNED 16 and got my license! It's so liberating! I adore driving! Windows down, sunroof open, and music on blast, I feel bad for my fellow drivers having to listen to my music, but I'm having a ton of fun! WAHOO! But I did look really great on my birthday! It sort of involved 3 outfits... and I don't have pictures of any of them... ah well... You'll eventually see them, but I'll still talk about them! And tell y'all all about my day.

It began with two of my close girlfriends Amanda and Megan busting into my room at 7:30 with balloons, roses, and strawberry bagels (my favorite). We chatted for a bit and then they left so I could begin to get ready to face the day.
I then put on a SUPER hipster outfit and went to lunch with Amanda. I wore my gray and white Urban Revelation tank top and dark wash high waisted shorts from Langford Market. Mixed with my Tiffany Key and Urban Outfitters navajo inspired sneakers I looked hot. One of my good friends, Mr. I'm-a-CEO himself, Pat Ortiz owns and operates Urban Revelation, a great new clothing company that caters to the modern teen. I LOVE my tank top! It's comfy and super stylin'. Go check out Pat and Urban Revelation!

Because my lovely father is not a fan of my high waisted shorts, I did change before going to take my drivers test. My second outfit of the day was my trusty J. Crew aqua t-shirt and Old Navy kalki shorts that come to my mid thigh. I really love them because they are just so comfy! Sadly my shirt was stained in some sort of laundry accident and it's not to noticeable, but still has to be covered up. So for a cute cover up I used my FAVORITE scarf, the black lace Langford Market one. Pairing all that with my black Kelly and Katie gladiator sandals I felt classy and confidant. Obviously it worked! I passed my test on the first try!

For a really nice dinner with a few of my close friends I went with my brand new Urban Outfitters dress and Ann Taylor black patent leather pumps. The dress is just amazing. I love it so much! It has a black underlay with a black sheer overlay. On the overlay are back, peacock blue, and old gold beads in a bunted pattern.I just feel like 1000000 bucks in the dress. Classy with a little bit of slut. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Keep it classy

The List, Spring Edition!

It might be cold where you are but here its 70 degrees out. And almost March (Which apart from being a springy month here it's also my birthday!) which means that in preparation for spring here is my list of what's fresh for spring!

• On your nails...

Bright colors are everything this season!

Chanel- The newest addition to Chanel's Le Vernis collection for nails is number 549, Distraction. A mild pink with a bright hue it packs a lot of punch in a little bottle. At $23 a bottle it also pack a lot of value per swipe, however Chanel, for me, is tried and true, a great brand of nail polish that stays put with a simple top coat. 

Essie- The spring 2012 colors for Essie are great this year! My personal favorites are a light pink called A Crewed Interest and a bright orange-y coral called Orange, It's Obvious!. I've never used Essie personally, but I do have friends who swear by the little white capped bottle. At $8 a bottle it is significantly more affordable than Chanel. It's all a matter of personal preference. 

OPI- With the arrival of the eagerly awaited "Holland" collection there is only one question, is there a discount for buying all of them? My favorites are "A Roll In The Hague", "I Have A Herring Problem", and "Red Lights Ahead... Where?".  "A Roll In The Hague" is a super bright orange that screams, "PUT ON SUNGLASSES!" "I Have A Herring Problem", my favorite, is a cool blue, the perfect color for going out on a lovely spring day. "Red Lights Ahead... Where?" is a flaming red/pink that reminds me of spring flowers.

• On your face...

Bold red lips, soft pinky lips and strong eyebrows are all the rage this spring and there's a lot to be excited about!

Pink Lips- For day or night light, feminine, girly lips are it. I love how the sweet look compliments a soft outfit or sets a contrast with a harsh outfit and strong eyes. Lipsticks I love are Tom Ford's Pink Dusk, Dior's Tulip Pink and Urban Decay's Midnight Cowboy.
Red Lips-Perfect for making a statement, and saying "I have arrived" without saying a word. I LOVE red lips to make a statement and add a hint of flirt and a dash of hello. My favorites are Estee Lauder's Sublime Nectar and Urban Decay in Revolution.
Strong Brows- I'm crazy about strong eyebrows and this season the rest of the world is finally catching on! As long as they are shaped the darker the better. As my good friends know Urban Decay has long been a love affair of mine, and my current desire/lust is the Urban Decay Brow Box. I've tried it and immediately fell in love.It has two colors, an eyebrow brush, eyebrow wax, and a wax brush.

 Well, that's what I have to say!
