A Trend I've Noticed...


And have absolutely fallen head over heels for is the Spanish/Southwestern trend that I have been seeing here and there! From embroidered boots, to frilly bright colored dresses and shirts, it's everywhere! I have a pair of boots in mind now, and I have actually asked for Christmas.


Journeys Womens Bullboxer Hacienda Boot - 49.99

Also, this trend is affiliated with South West America, and I love that area! The colors are breath taking, and the food is amazing! I've been through Arizona and New Mexico many many times before, but it is now where I have taken more notice to it. Color pallet includes: red, orange, agua, pink, brown, yellow, and bright purples. Embroidery is key, as so is triangular shapes.







For a feminine touch, this shirt will look amazing with a Spanish/Southwestern inspired skirt :)




Who likes Tex-Mex food? Who loves this trend? Who doesn't?

My Alter


I have 3 blogs now!
This one is for my more girly and creative side
Psychology/Neurology is for my more serious and informative side
And the ramblings is for what it says; ramblings. They may be pleasant, they may be depressing, but read at your own will.

Anyways! I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things here on blogspot. I have two new favorite songs now; Teenage Dream by Katy Perry and Deuces by Chris Brown! I'm excited because I haven't really liked anything new that has came out in the past couple of years except for a few exceptions.
My day was pretty good, I talked to my mother about some issues that were going on inside of my head, and that really let a lot of stress out. I had to take a test in my American History class which I hoped I did well on! I really have an urge to go shopping.
Btw, I would like to introduce a few new trends this fall that I would like to try!

- 1970s hair! I love the 1960s and 70s anyways, so this is an exciting trend for me to try! I have the tools anyways, so it won't be a problem :)
- More feminine silhouettes! Yes! I love feminine things, and when this was introduced into the fall trends, I was very happy. I thought the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s were just so classy (Audrey Hepburn? Jackie Kennedy?). Those role models made me proud of my femininity.
- Flats! They have been in for quite some time now, but they never get old!! I have a ton as it is, but I want some more :D
- Mod! As I have said before, I love the 1960s, and bold prints and styles make me happy. I also love crazy and unique looking things, and let me tell you, the 1960s were superior for that.
- Natural/Golden makeup pallet - I never really liked bold eyeliner on me anyways because my hooded eyes made me look strange. I will definitely be looking forward to going home and looking through what I have in my makeup collection.
- Clogs? Perhaps. I like them okay, but weren't they popular back in the 90s? Retro? Wow, the 90s have become retro now!
- Low back/low necklines - I am getting to the age where I can actually wear these things! I think low back-lines and neck-lines are so sexy, and I would really like to go shopping to find these things!
Does anyone know where I can find things like this? Greatly appreciated!!

Well, that all I have to write for now, as I have to get home (I'm at my college computer room, bleh)!

Looking for That New Winter Look?

Hi! I've come to post a blog to help you out for your next girly session! Are you looking for new fashion trends? Or maybe a new hair style? Or even new ideas for nail colors! I have them here, and I hope this helps you to figure out what you're looking for!

The Fringe Trend!
This trend is a mix of Indian and 70's based looks. I've seen this look on vests and purses, and it is very popular right now.



The Thigh-High/Knee-High Boots!
These are very cute, and go very well with about any winter look!



The UGG Knit Boots!
These are very popular at my high-school. Even if they're not UGG, the style is seen by many of the girls!


The Sweater-Dresses!
Very warm for the winter, and they would look great with the knit boots or regular UGG boots too!


The Bold-Print Shirt!
Many 70-based trends are coming back! It used to be all about the 60's, but it's gone a decade higher this year!


The Military Jacket!
Very very cute, and this is a thumbs up for me because of the vintage feel of it!


The Multi-Layered Necklace!
Very cute! I've seen these at many stores, and they come in very beautiful varieties!


The Short-Pixie Hair Cut!
Reminds me of Tinker-bell, and it looks so cute!


Short Hair in General!
It looks like bobs and chin-length hair is coming back!


The Dark-Colored Nailpolish!
Dark colored nails are popping this season! Colors range from midnight-blue, brown, dark purple, and dark hunter green!

WARNING: Long post about the fashion of the last decade!

Well, today has been a really tiresome day, but it is much easier to think of a topic for this blog than it is for my new blog! Wait, I haven't told ya'll about that. I made another blog yesterday titled: In the World of Neurology and Psychology!

Web address is: http://www.neurologyandpsychology.blogspot.com/

I made this blog because I one day either want to become a doctor in the fields of neurology and psychology...duh lol.

Anyways, so today's blog is going to be about my top favorite trends in the past DECADE!! and my least favorite...


My Least Favorite:


The Gladiator Sandle-Boots (2009) - I did NOT like these, they were gaudy and made many outfits look bad.


The Crocs (2004-2005) - They were cute at first, and I loved them when nurses wore them, but then EVERYBODY started wearing them. Even little kids, and it was almost like Twilght. It got rediculous. They started making boots, tennishoes, furry crocs, you name it!

The SUPER Skinny-Jeans (2007-2009) - Nah, did not care for these much. Regular skinny or boot-cut jeans are ok. I like them, but I thought the super skinnies were unflattering.


The over-done, gaudy black heels (2009) - I cannot stand this look. It is everywhere! The huge black heels with the wide straps and studs everywhere looks akward and unfeminine to me. I also don't like it when I see girls wearing them with the cutest dresses. Totally ruins the outfit for me.


The Zippered Leggings (2009) - These...I don't really know what to say except they seem very unfeminine and unflattering to any outfit. I especialy don't like the ones that are sequined or metallic, eck!


The Acid-Washed Jeans (2008-2009) - No. Just no.
Midriff-Bearing Tanks (2000-2002) - Eh, even though I was very young when this was popular, I would feel inappropriate wearing it now, and things have changed since then.


MUDD Jeans (2000-2003) - Not very appealing to the butt. They always made my butt and my thighs look saggy.


The Hollister/Abercrombie Phenomenon (2005-2008) - I'm sorry, but even though I have a few things from these places, I HATED this stage! Too many girls wore this stuff, especially the teeshirts with the logo or the name IN BOLD PRINT OR HUGE. Now Abercrombie is too expensive for anybody to buy anymore and Hollister is not seen (or at least by me) as much. Plus Abercrombie gives me a migraine everytime I go in there, pew!


The Sex Bracelets (2000-2004) - Now who remembers these? I do, but I never wore them for ahem, sex. Eh, I used to wear these in my "punk stage". That stage of my life is not one of my favorites. Plus they made an outfit look lazy.


The Skinny, Barbie-Doll Look (??) - No offence intended to the girl in this picture, she is very pretty. BUT, to be frank, I was very tired of seeing girls that looked like this all over the internet and TV. It seemed like a craze, and many little 12-year-old girls would use these pictures and say, "iM sO hOtt!" in the uppercase/lowercase font that they used.

The Orange Skin Trend (2009) - Ugh is all I can say really...



My Most Favorite


Boho Bags (2007-2008) - They were so cute, and I could fit EVERYTHING in them! The only problem I had with these were that in the hallways at my highschool, girls who had them hit everybody with them, lol.


Uggs (2004-2008) - I know, I know. I hear a lot of people who say they hate these, but I love them. I have a pair. They go with many of my winter outfits, and they are just darn comforitable! The only thing I HATED was how girls wore them in the summer. Omg, come on...you have flip flops!
Floral Statement Necklaces (2009) - I absolutely loved these! I think they are adorable (with the right clothes of course) and they look so feminine.



Flats (2007-2009) - One word: LOVE!!

The Victorian/Vintage Look (2008-2009) - I am absolutely crazy about history, and seeing shirts and dresses replicate the vintage styles is a big plus for me!



Subtle-Glatiator Sandles (2009) - Unlike the high-kneed Gladiators, I loved the flip-floppish gladiators. I loved how some of them were beaded or sequined, and I loved them with dresses.



Distressed Jeans (2007-2009) - I loved these, and they looked so cute in the summer. Not very good for winter though. I have a few of these. I kind of got out of this trend in early 2009 because of the economy (very expensive), and now I realize I can just make these myself.

Sperrys (2008-2009) - God, I love these shoes. They are so comforitable, and I wear them everywhere!



Hottie/Princess/Angel Shirts (2000-2002) - Loved these when I was younger. I had a lot of labeled shirts. Also, I don't think I'd really want these back, but I had fond memories of this trend.

Patriotism Fashion (2001-2003) - Go America! I had a lot of this.


Leggings (2007-2008) - I loved them in the winter time under dresses and skirts, but when people actually started wearing them as pants...uh, no.

The Giraffe Purse (2008) - Who can forget these? People still carry them! I loved mine, and my mom also had one that I was crazy for!



Long Hair (2007-2009) - I finally have my hair long, yay! I also like the long hair trend straight, wavy, curly you name it!




The Maxi-Dress (2009) - I really liked these. They were flowy and light, and I would especially wear one to the beach. I wouldn't much care wear one to the mall though.








Sorry this was such a LONG post! I just wanted to throw that into the open! Also, I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, these are just my opinions.
What were your favorite trends? Your least? And are there anymore trends that I have forgotten?
