(: here are the other shades in the collection ; too too hot ; meet me at sunset ; super bossa nova ; brazilliant ; ♥ all of the colors are absolutely beautiful & if i could, i would buy al of them! hahhaha.

opi ; ♥
one of the most popular brands of nail polish of all time in my opinion hahaha. ♥ opi has a few collections out for summer, so i'll share my favorite. its called nice stems! i unfortunately haven't bought any yet, but i am determined to get them. :) the colors are ; i lilly love you ; be a dahlia won't you? ; come to poppy ; play the peonies ; ♥ hahah i love all of them.

shatter ; ♥
okay, well i bought shatter but, it didn't really work well for mee hahahahah. katy perry has some really cool shatter nail polish & so does opi. if you don't know what shatter is, you put it on top of another color and it kinda looks like the nail polish is legit shattered. :) hahahha i think its really cooollll(:

summmmmerrr lovvvvinn

hey girliess!

i haven't been on in soo long. i'm sorry :( but now, i've decided to go back to fashion blogging! yayyyyy :) request anything you'd like under this postt :D

i whip my hair back & forth. ♥

hey guysss. i'm backk. sorry, i haven't had much time since spring break ended. /: but, here i am! here are some nice hair styles to change up your hair!!!

fishtail ; ♥
-okay, fishtail is easier than a lot of people think. you split the hair into two parts. then, take half of one of the pieces (the half has to be the outside half) and then add it to the other piece. i know, it sounds complicated.
-if you don't get what i'm saying, try youtube. :D
-i love fishtails. i think they look soooo cool and there very unique!!! :D

crimp ; ♥
-okay, i know crimping is pretty basic, but i just love the way it looks! if you don't know how to get this look, try this.
-braid your hair into several braids at night after you shower and your hair is still damp. try to keep the braids even as possible. this will give you a really cool look in the morning after the braids have dried and you take them out! :D

waves ; ♥
-so, i know waves are basic. but, i have some ways that you can spice it up.
-first, try a half up half down look. i lovee how it looks and it makes your hair look thinner. (:
-also, try beachy waves. there are some products that are "salt sprays". they give you that perfect wave in your hair that you have when you come out of the ocean!!!
-lastly, use a reallyy pretty headband in your hair. i love how it looks. ♥ ugh, its just sooo adorable!!!! then, like match your shirt and headband and it will look sooo cute. ♥

okay, well, i have to go to bed now. hahhaaa. nigghtt! hope this helped!!!
♥ kate

beach ready. ♥

hey guys! haven't been on in sooo long. /: well, i'm back!!! ♥

hair ; ♥
-wear your hair in a high bun. this way, it won't fall out while your chillin in the waves and you'll still look good.
-also, the beach is the best place for waves. i love going to the beach because the salt water makes my curls perfect. ♥ i love it.
-keep the above in mind. and don't straighten your hair, it will just get ruined by the water and it will just waste your time.

makeup ; ♥
-try to go as light on makeup as you possibly can.
-mascara. oh, god. try not to wear it? but if you need to, wear waterproof. it will prevent your face from looking like mascara just exploded on it. ;)
-don't wear any eye shadow, foundation or all of that stuff because it will just come off.

skin ; ♥
-i know, your parents have probably told you a little over a million times WEAR SUNSCREEN! well, you really should. but, i know that tanning is important soo...
-if your at the beach for a few days, try to tan for a little while. and then, put on some sunscreen.
-it really is important. my mom had skin cancer and she said it was awful.
-tanning lotion...try to get one thats not toooo bad for your skin? if you can't, try to not tan for a really long time.

cover ups ; ♥
-so, i personally think its kind of awkward to walk up a street in your bikini to get to the beach. if you agreee then look at the following.
-well, try wearing one of those things thats like a sheer towel that ties in the front. i totally forget what there called but i think there adorable.
-also try to find a cute dress or romper. there so cute.
-what a lot of people do is just wear shorts or a shirt.
-if i wear a shirt, i usually wear an oversized tank top. ♥

bikinis ; ♥
-choose the right swimsuit for your body.
-make sure its a cute color or pattern!
-also, make sure you get what you pay for...you want something that can last you all summer so dont buy a $100 bikini for 2 weeks.

hope this helps!!! oh and obviously wear flip flops or barefoot. (:

love, kate. ♥

got that glitter on my eyes. ♥

heeeey guys! i wanted to give some eye makeup tips. (:

eye shadow ; ♥
-using eye shadow can be hard. you really have to know what look your going for and what will look good!
-a look i really like is to do a light coat on your lid more toward your nose (taking up most of your lid) and the further away you get from your nose, the darker it gets.
- http://pic2.nipic.com/20090420/225028_125857084_2.jpg thats what i mean. (:
-another good way to apply your eye shadow is do a light lid and make it darker as it goes up toward your eye brow (but don't put it all the way up to your eye brow!
-one last tip, please make sure that you have clean lines on your eye shadow. you don't want it all over your face!

eye liner ; ♥
-i use eye liner almost every day! make sure you don't use a liner that smudges!!!
-to avoid smudging, try liquid eye liner. but warning, you could smear it if you don't wait long enough to keep it dry.
-try a very thin liner under your eye with mascara. i think it looks soo cute.
-if you want a heavier makeup look, put a good liner on both the top and bottom of your eye. and a good coat of mascara.

mascara ; ♥
-mascara is hard when you first start using it.
-first, try making sure you don't clump. that's when it works the best.
-then, make sure your that you get all of your eye lashes. like, all of the way. it'll make your eyes stand out more.
-only put on mascara on your bottom lashes if you barely have any and there not visible. i myself don't need to because my bottom lashes are long.

i hope this helped guys!!! ♥
love, kate. ♥

what every girl needs ; shoes. ♥

omg i love shoes with a fiery burning passion. ♥ here are my favorite picks for spring 2011. ♥

oxfords ; ♥
-EVERYONE is talking about oxfords!!! i think there soo adorable. i haven't found the right pair yet, but i am determined to get them. they go with soo much! and i just think there absolutely adorablee.
-i think these could go really well with a pair of jeans and a neutral top. (:
-okay, i have absolutely noo idea where to buy them. i don't really like the ones from Forever 21. eh. there like..weird. hahaha but if you bought them i'm sure they look great on you! hm. i would try DSW shoes maybe? and also nordstrom. ♥

sperry top siders ; ♥
-okay. i absolutely love these. i have a pair. and i love them. so. much. i just love the look of them! not many people have them in my school, but i think they're so adorable.
-well, i would wear them with a pair of shorts or pants and a cute tank. (: i think that would be adorable!!!
-i would recommend ordering these online. if not, you may be able to find them at the sperry store or outlet or nordstrom or DSW!! (:

gladiators ; ♥
-i've loved gladiators since last year. i think there so cute and go with almost anything. there also really comfortable and a dressier alternative to flip flops. (: and they're just so adorable!
-you can wear these with almost anything. shorts, jeans, dresses, skirts, anything. there such a great way to dress up an outfit. ♥
-you can find gladiators any where! american eagle, forever 21, nordstrom, DSW, anywhere! or you could even buy a cute pair online
