Spencer Hasting's preppy look

I don't know if you're watching Pretty Little Liars, but I am and it's awesome!! Some of my friends have asked me on my facebook page and my facebook personnal page if I could write an article on Spencer Hasting's preppy look so here it is! 
(Btw if any of you wants any article, just ask me by leaving a message on this blog or by sending me a message on my facebook page)


If you want to dress up like Spencer, you have to mix up masculinity and femininity. Try pairing a dainty printed dress with a structured menswear-inspired blazer, or match a mini and textured tights with Oxford shoes or loafers. Juxtaposing soft silhouettes against structured ones adds subtle but compelling interest to your outfit.




Stick to muted and neutral colors. Spencer’s wardrobe is full of neutral, muted, or earth tones. Her palette is perfect for fall: chocolate brown, mustard yellow, cognac, navy blue, and burgundy are some of her favorite hues.
Layer up and play with texture. Just because Spencer prefers muted hues doesn’t mean her look is dull. By layering and using different textures in her looks, Spencer adds attention-getting dimension to every outfit. So make blazers, jackets, long cardis, knee-high socks, and textured tights your best friends. Not sure how to layer and add texture? Start with a foundation, like the denim dress Spencer is wearing in the above picture. Wear knit, sweater or lace tights under the dress. Add a cardigan or jacket. Belt your waist. If you’re wearing boots, layer over the knee top on top of tights.
Throw in preppy classics. Oxford button-down shirts, bows, plaid, loafers, and nautical stripes are all preppy touches seen in Spencer’s wardrobe.
When the occasion calls, go glam.  Spencer’s everyday look is never flashy, but when Homecoming rolled around, she knew it was time to go glam. But even in her silver party dress and chunky necklace, she didn’t betray her style: her look was structured, yet feminine, with interesting textural fabric and jewelry that mixed pearls and chains.

the romantic bun

Hi guys, sorry I've been quite busy and I haven't posted any articles for quite a long time but I haven't forget you and here is a easy hairstyle for the summer :)

 THE ROMANTIC BUN
This hairstyle is perfect for a first date or a day at the beach. If you like the "baby rock" style, if you wear liberty dresses with a perfecto and boots, well this is THE ONE hairstyle for you!

- You take a big section of hair near your forehead, above the extremity of your eyebrow and you
- With the rest of your hair, you want to do a low bun, a bit messy
- You take out some very small sections of hair around your neck and and face.
- You braid the hair you put aside earlier so that it covers the upper part of your forehead.
- If you have long enough hair, you can tuck the end of your braid into your bun, otherwise you secure it with a bobby pin
- You may want to secure everything with a bit of hairspray or some bobby pins.
- Don't worry if the look isn't perfect or very regular. The messier the better, that's what makes the charm of the look

Easy Everyday Makeup Tutorial

This is a very simple make up tutorial for every day, super easy to do and very quick. Perfect if you're in a crunch for time but you still want to make up.

1. Swirl you finger in a shimmery eyeshadow and apply in a windshield wiper like motion over each eye.

2. Using a silver eye liner crayon or pencil (it looks great with cream eyesshadow too), line from your inner conner to the middle of your water line (bottom lid).

3. Fill in the remaining waterline with black eyeliner pencil/crayon.

4. Put on some mascara like you usually do, and you're done!

Suggestion:
Retractable eyeliner is the best to use for this look, it's like a pencil but it's softer. You twist it up istead of sharpening it.
