Unnamed post (we didn't know what to name it)
Okay so I'm assuming that most of our readers are teenager girls (or at least I'm hoping they are....) sooo that gives us the amazing option of trying different styles, makeup looks etc. Here are some really awesome pictures for inspiration, that will maybe encourage you to try something new! After all, aren't our teen years supposed to be when we figure out who we are, and who we want to be? Finding your own individual style is part of that, and how are you supposed to do that in sweat pants and uggs??? P.S We decided to just add makeup, hair, and accessories, which is an easy
way to try something different without changing your whole wardrobe!

Catcalls
All the women and teenager girls I know have been harassed by men and other women, pretty much their whole lives, I'm talking about catcalls, whistles, comments on facebook, or in the hallway of your school, the list can go on and on. All our lives, especially our teen years we're expected to just deal with the fact that EVERYONE feels the need to point out the positive or the negative about our bodies, and do men realize even the so called positive comments are quite offensive and rude?
When both boys and girls go through puberty they obviously both deal with insecurities about their bodies, but guys don't have to deal with the constant judging that girls are objectified to. Why is it that as soon as we go through puberty we're automatically assumed to be asking every ones opinion on our figure, since when have we cared about your goddamn opinion on the way we look?? Do guys understand how self-conscious it makes girls feel when their constantly being judged and talked about just because of the way they look?
The obsession with looks needs to stop, all these tv shows, movies, magazines, etc are telling girls what we need to do to become attractive to the opposite sex, but maybe just maybe we choose to dress up, wear make up, or whatever else because it makes us feel good, not because we want men to think we're pretty.

How to: 1960's hair!
Today we're going to show you just a few of the many ways you can create that beautiful 1960's hair! As we've said before, we love the 60's! Makeup, Clothing, And of 'course the hair! This tutorial is fairly easy, but not recommended for everyday use as there is a lot of backcombing and that can be damaging to the hair if done frequently. So keep it to the partaays!
So what you need for this is:
A comb
Hairspray
Bobby pins
Hot rollers (optional)
Hair ties
Start off with putting hot rollers in your hair. You don't have to do this, but it is strongly suggested. They will add volume and a soft feminine look, and curls hold hairstyles better. |
Take them out and gently brush through them with your fingers.
Now take a small section at the front of your head and pin it out of the way. Now taking your hair in layers start backcombing. Don't be really rough with your hair! Just gently drag the comb backwards on your hair. Hairspray as you go along.
Now once your done take the section you pinned aside and very carefully brush it back over the teased parts. This is going to hide the mess. You can already see how much smoother it looks here than before! We also left two little front sections out, and pinned them around the back to give it a more defined style. See how much more noticeable the bump is now?
Here we pulled the hair into a low side ponytail. You have to be careful though, because it does flatten to poof a bit.
Our last one was actually a mistake. We tried putting the hair into a high pony, but it looked like a weird alien head. So we twisted the hair into a bun instead, and although it's hard to see them, added some flowers. This is a much more formal look. It would also look nice if you took the hair when it was down, and pulled it into a french twist.
P.S Hairspray hairspray hairspray!!!
So We hope you enjoyed this, and try it for yourself!

How to: 1960's makeup
| The 1960's is one of our favourite time periods and we love the makeup, so we thought we would do a 1960's inspired makeup look. |
First apply white eye shadow all over your eyelid. |
| Next apply a medium brown or grey eyeshadow in your crease and the outside corner of your eye, blend well. |
| Repeat the same process with a slightly darker colour to add depth. |
| I did classic thick 60's eyeliner, but if u prefer it thin, do what makes you feel comfortable! (using liquid eyeliner) |

How to: Make your shoes glittery!
Hey awesome people! We're gonna show you how to make amazing glittery shoes! It's super easy, and fun, and a great thing to do with your friends!
Pour some glue into your tray, and then slowly add glitter in bit by bit.
It should look like this. Now mix it all up.
So now it will look like this. The next step is to take your brush and start painting it onto the shoes. Don't do really thick layers, it will take longer to dry and look weird. Thinner layers and lots of layers look better.
So, what you'll need to do this is glue, and glitter, some sort of tray, a brush, and of corse some shoes.We used two different types of glue, extra tacky glue and acrylic gloss, but you don't need both of them, we just ran out half way through and had to use the gloss.
For glitter any kind should work, but keep in mind that the smaller the glitter, the more smooth it will look on the shoes, and the bigger the glitter the more chunky it will look. You can buy glitter at the dollar store, or Michael's craft store.
Now it's very important that the shoes you use don't have tons of straps and buckles on them because it will be really hard to cover in glitter, and will look gross and bumpy.
Pour some glue into your tray, and then slowly add glitter in bit by bit.
It should look like this. Now mix it all up.
So now it will look like this. The next step is to take your brush and start painting it onto the shoes. Don't do really thick layers, it will take longer to dry and look weird. Thinner layers and lots of layers look better.
This is what they should look like after two layers, and don't worry about the glue, it will dry clear. Now all you have to do is wait for them to dry and then do another layer. Continue this until your shoes are totally covered. If you have any areas that have less glitter on them go over with your brush after they have dried to fix it up.
And this is the finished result!
And this is the finished result!
So enjoy your new super-duper cool glittery shoes!
Obsessions!
Hello, we were gonna try to be serious and all dramatic, but it sounded stupid, so we gave up! There are two of us running this blog, we're both teenagers and love fashion, were not experts but we thought it would be fun to start a blog. We wont just talk about fashion though, We have lots of other interests which we will not get into, but there will most likely be lots of random post, you've been warned! Our current obsessions are glitter, multi coloured lipstick, and extremely girly things, our biggest inspirations are Rookie yearbook (Tavi Gevinson) Marina and the diamonds, Lana del rey, Bobbi brown makeup manual, and we also love vintage clothes, makeup, hair, at the moment the 1960s/1970s!
