Shahrzad's Post ->http://blondeteaparty.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/liebster-award.html

My questions from Shahrzad:

1. What does being beautiful mean to you?
To me it means being yourself and your own style. To be beautiful means to be your own person.
2. What is your holy grail foundation?
Sorry to say that I don't wear foundation, only a little concealer.
3. When did you start wearing makeup and why?
I started wearing makeup when I was about 14 and all I wore was mascara, now I only wear concealer, mascara, and add a bit of color to my lips. I started wearing makeup because I liked putting it on to be completely honest with you.
4. What is your favorite cosmetic brand and why?
Covergirl! I love this brand, personally I think it's the best drugstore cosmetic brand.
5. How confident do you feel with no makeup on at all?
If I don't have time or feel extremely lazy I won't wear makeup , but I feel better with it on especially when it covers my horrible dark under-eye circle.
6. How do you find inspiration for your blog posts?
I write what I want, if it comes to mind I'll write it. 
7. What beauty trend did you dislike?
I feel like it depends on the person, I've seen people wear certain trends that I would never think to try and they rocked it, but to be honest I'm not to keen on overdoing animal prints.
8. What is your favorite fashion era?
I love the 50's fashion trends. It may have been a bit uncomfortable not being able to wear pants but I love love love their dresses.
9. How would you describe your day to day style?
If I'm not going out its my pjs and a simple shirt , if I'm hanging out I love tights with a long shirt, or jeans and a t-shirt, and I find any chance I get to wear love cardigans. 
10.City life or country living?
The city! I love it when you always have something to do and I love all the commotion of the city, all the shops and restaurants.
11.Where in the world would you most like to visit next?
London! I don't know what it is but I've always wanted to live in London.

1. How did you come up with your blog name?

2. What's your favorite pair of shoes?

3. Who's one person who's style you adore?

Velvet Tight!

I'm the kind of person who sticks to blue jeans and black tights. I really wasn't the type of person to try crazy colors or patterns, and never did I think I would wear velvet tights!

 But one night my cousin was over and had them on and they looked like to most comfortable tights ever. She convinced me to go get them and I can't tell you how amazing they are.

Garage- $22

This obviously isn't a picture of me, but this is pretty much what they look like. I love them!! They're comfortable enough to wear day-to-day, but if you wanna put a nice shirt over and add some heels you could wear it to a party. I honestly love these pants.

 And you could find them anywhere, I got mine at Garage, but I've seen them at Forever 21,Love Culture, and Mandees. They are definitely a great investment!

If you have a pair leave a comment below about what you think!

Oh Baby It's Cold Outside

Winter's finally here, and though I must say I hate the cold , I do love winter attire. I love the big sweaters,the scarves, the hats, boots, and especially layering. I also love when it isn't to cold outside and you go out and when you come in you have rosy cheeks and what I like to call winter face. It's been extremely cold here so all I'm getting is a red nose and I'm pretty sure Rudolph has nothing on me. 

It doesn't seem like this weather is going away anytime soon so I thought I'd talk about winter layering. First things first, no matter where I am whether in school so outside I always have a scarf on, I think thats going to be my winter accessory for this year. I do have quite a few scarfs. Another thing I have been loving is leg warmers.Now that may sound weird and when my I first saw then I though WTF, when am I ever going to use these, but since I take public transportation home they have been life savors and their cute. I have four colors, brown, creme, purple , and a light pink. A lot of people think they are just long socks and are usually surprised to know that they're not. I tend to wear them with my boots and match my scarf to them.

 I'm not much of a hat person but I will wear one now and then. The great thing about hats is that you can wear them as a fashion statement or because your heads cold. I also love gloves, I think I have way too many! There are a few normal ones but I have a few that aren't. I just had to get texting gloves and no finger gloves. 

Everyone should rock winter accessories in their own way. I hope this helped and maybe you'll try leg warmers and texting gloves too. Thanks for reading :)

Closet Dash

     Let me start off by saying sorry that I haven't blogged in a while but school has started and getting adjusted to a new school has taken up most of my time. Moving on, I can't wait to tell you guys about Closet Dash. While in school the fashion club took a trip to the city to this store called Closet Dash. After we had spend hours learning about fashion history we were finally able to go shopping! Prior to our trip to Closet Dash we had been told to bring in 10 items of clothing or purses that we could exchange at Closet Dash. Closet Dash is a small store in Manhattan that recycles clothing. We had paid $10 to exchange 10 items of clothing for store credit. You may also purchase clothes at Closet Dash as well as swap them. 

       Once you go to Closet Dash they examine your clothes and give you a credit amount. With that credit you can purchase something in the store. If it has a colored sticker you can use your credits, if not you can use half your credits and pay the other half in cash. For example if a dress is $20 and doesn't have a sticker you can use 10 credits and pay $10 in cash. I will be honest, my expectations were not high. That changed when I got to Closet Dash. They had EVERYTHING!!! From designer clothes to clothes you could find a Walmart, from size 0 to size 10, from shoes to bags to clothes to jewelry. They had all types of clothing; vintage or modern, and they were all in amazing condition. 

       When clothes or bags are brought into Closet Dash they are closely examined for any rips, stains, or even if it looks a little worn out. I was able to use all my credits and get clothes that would have cost me so much. I didn't pay a dime because with the clothes I had brought in I had enough credits. Another great thing is that if any clothes or bags weren't accepted you had the choice of giving them to Goodwill or keeping them. I totally recommend Closet Dash, you won't regret going there! Here are some of the clothes that I got :)

Love-Live Shirt

Pink Shirt

Floral Dress

Thick Dark Purple Cardigan 

Tan and White Striped Sweater

Navy Blue Shorts
