Sabo Skirt...Must Check it Out!

Hey guys! As you know I've been loving the website Polyvore.com. It's such a fun way to create your own look and to discover new online clothing stores that you would have never seen before! I recently stumbled on a website that I HAD to share with you guys. The clothes are fun, bright and very original. It's called saboskirt.com, and no, they don't just sell skirts, they sell all kinds of clothes and it's all fabulous!

Here are some of my favorite looks on the site:








Aren't those looks amazing?? Now, they are on the slightly more expensive side, but they aren't outrageous so I feel like getting a special piece here and there for special occasions would be the way to go. May be when my clothing fast is done I'll have a special event just so I can snag one of these looks! Haha =)

Side French Braid Tutorial

Hey guys! Check out my 2nd video!! Woo hoo! Super easy and fun hair tutorial!

BANG! BANG!

I'm on a roll, guys. Recently, I decided I was gonna start really living life to the full and take advantage of not being in school.

I
Love
It.

So for adventure No. 2 my friends Katie, Brian, and I all went to the shooting range. Brian wanted us to teach him a few things about guns. Right...that's it. It was such a fun day. Every one should try this once in their life...it makes you feel like a secret agent. Especially when you get to shoot a glock 23 .40 cal. That's right, I just used that in a sentence. Watch out bad guys.

This was my favorite one to shoot, I felt pretty hardcore.

This next one scared me a little bit hahaha...But it was SO COOL. And I was the most accurate with this one, so it was really fun to shoot. There is something strangely satisfying when you hear the *ping of hitting your target. Here is a shot of Brian teaching me how to use this massively large gun haha.

Who says a girl with fabulous nail polish can't shoot a semi automatic weapon?

And here's a little collage of a few more pics from the day.
Check out Katie's face in the bottom photo...hahaha that was her face after she shot the first gun...priceless.

So adventure No. 3? Oh...don't you worry, It's already all lined up. Just keep on checking in to find out!

Trash to Treasure: DIY Summer Shorts!

I love summer time. Shorts, skirts, dresses...I love all the "beat the heat" solutions =). This summer I really wanted to have lot's of different options for shorts, but I only had a couple pair.

So I made some! I was cleaning out my drawers and realized I had a few pairs of jeans that I never wear anymore. The first one tore after the second time I ever wore them...I was soooo sad. The second pair were all destroyed at the bottoms because I never got them properly hemmed...whoops. And the third were a distressed pair that I had bought that were now...far beyond distressed. These jeans were distressed, depressed, and falling to pieces, literally.




So in order to get a nice even cut,I took a pair of shorts that I already had and really liked the length of and put them on the pants, so my pants were "wearing" the pair of shorts.


Then I drew a line with a pen so I could follow along the nice curved shape you need. Then, snip snip! I folded the edge up and ironed them with a lot of steam. I'll go back later when I can use my sister's sewing machine to put in a stitch. What do you think of my new summer creations??

June Favorites! First VIDEO BLOG!

OOTD Simple Black

Yesterday I decided to sport my new heels with some oldies but goodies from my closet. I kept it very simple...but I felt very chic! What do you think?
Black tank: Forever 21 Low rise flare jeans: Forever 21 Pumps: Two Lips Bracelet: A friend got it for me from the Philippines, Ok Ok so not a totally fair thing to try to match =)
And there's my "Simple Black" look!

Garage Sale HAUL!

So a friend of mine recently had a garage sale, and she was putting a lot of her clothes out. So like the little bargain hunter I am...I went for it. Ok Ok...about 7 months ago I decided to not buy clothes frivolously for a year. I only bought if it was something I needed. (Like my pants ripped, I need to replace them, or for performances where a specific costume choice was needed)

I caved.
She is super fashionable.
SO after this...It's back to strict Rachel! I can be strong!
But we might as well drool over what I got...FOR ONLY 40 DOLLARS!(Most of the stuff was brand new, and high end...can you blame me?? Yes you can.)



Want a closer look? Sure ya do...we all love some Steve Madden...

These one's are super fun too =)


I love the lace detail on this top! So feminine and pretty =)

But my favorite purchase of the day was this H&M dress...it's so sweet. Now I just need to go somewhere fun to wear it!


Ok so THAT'S IT! NO more clothes...ahhhh...If an opportunity like this comes along again it's gonna be all sortsa hard. But I had to spread the word...when a fashionable friend has a garage sale...GO.
