Spring spring spring

It sprig time get ready for.... FLORALS!! Florals are great because they can be used in so many different ways. I love matching a floral bottom with a black it dark colored bazer. This makes the colors really pop and totally springs up your outfit. And if you can't find florals then butterflies can work just as well.

Get ready for spring!

My own little touch!

So every one asks me how I make my outfits individual. Well I'm gonna to you! So Im not much of a seamstress So in not super into making my own clothes but There's nothing wrong with sewing a patch onto your boring white shirt! Also in the picture bellow I've replaced my laces with ribbon! It's so easy! There are endless possibilities of what you can do and there's nothing wrong with taking a risk... And failing....

Wardrobe (Finally)

Good morning my daffodils! So as promised today Im blogging about my wardrobe but.... Im in Miami now so i only have my favorite worm cloth... but thats ok right!? Ya so hear they are!
1. Sweater
Its really thick and loose great to through over shorts
2. Cotten shirts
They are both 100% cotton and really thin, but good
for walking around
3. Lace tops
Both are worn with a tank or bathing suit underneath
and great for a day at the beach (white shirt is from
Delias)


Top and bottom are both really short but great with a
tank tucked in. And flowed and soft
(Middle below)
This is a fitted skirt with tinny pockets on the front and
back, and grab for a formal summer dinner.




Im really into jean shorts and these are my 2 favorite. The top
one is beaded on the pockets and the belt hole things and I
Think it adds a nice touch.
The bottom one is bleach washed. I always buy mine already
washed but i do know some people who do it them selfs.
I love colored bathing suits (especially print) and ya.....

FIT AND FLAIR!

Good morning my sunshines. I have seen a lot of these shirts and only some people can pull them off. One girl i saw wearing it and I was amazed. Not only was she taking a risk wearing it but she was rocking it! So today I'm going to talk to you on how to take risks but not look crazy (well not to crazy :) So when your trying something new you always want to take precaution. Don't just jump in think about it first. Like when ever I'm trying a new big necklace I always wear a white shirt, this dose not only compliment the shirt but it dose not give your look a to busy sense. SO when trying something new you can always wear a solid color around it. And trust me this is a tip you'll want to remember :)

take care

Moncler Fashion Show

Hello my sugar plums. So a few weeks ago i attended the moncler fashion show, and let me just tell you it was fabulous. for those of you who don't know moncler is a high-end jacket company with amazing style. One of my favorite style of theirs is their puffy sectioned black jackets. you've probably seen their logo to (the image bellow). So at the fashion show the hole inspiration was the colosseum when you first entered the room your surrounded by people wearing the jackets and ski goggles. i felt like it almost took you to another world. so the models were like the audience surrounding you and you were in the middle. also the music was crazing you could feel the beet shaking the ground, it was amazing. Thank you so much for taking me (you know who you are) and Im so grateful!

stay fresh!

(and yes i will do my wardrobe soon don't worry):)

Getting into it!

Ive realized that I've never actually gone into an outfit and like pick it apart telling you whats good and bad about it. Sooooooo thats what in doing today! YAY!

Okay so in the picture above this girl (Apple) is wearing a shear collard shirt with a thin black bow and a tank top underneath. this look is pretty simple and i like to think very vintage. I've been looking around and i see a lot of people wearing vintageish stuff but most people are trying to hard. to pull off this look you just have to tie a bow around a shirt and your done!

This shirt was bought at Forever 21



Ok let me just tell you that I LOVE this sweater. its super soft and has hearts on it! what could be better!? Also its great because you can wear it with a collard shirt under it or not. And its really hard to find a swearer that looks good both ways!

Thanks for reading!

Shoes shoes shoes!!! (and one top)

Hey honey! Today I've noticed so many new and cute shoes! Now I'm not a huge fan of most shoes, but there are just some that I can't resist! I think the shoes that look best are the ones that have a mixture of materials, I'm not saying you have to buy like patch work shoes! But ones below that Misha's wearing its a mixture of fabric and metal, so those boots I love! Something else I think is so creative and cool is accessorizing some shoes that a lot of people have. So Sarah has supergas but she added a wings to hers. I've seen these before and they are really fun. I've seen them at a few places, like Walmart and Target but there all over. All you have to do is lace them into your shoes and your done! Also they work on all types shoes (but I think best on supergas).
Lastly Phoebe was wearing a super stylish tee. I have a few sweaters like this but non e as adorable. These types of shirts are really great for all season because you can wear stuff under it and be warm or they work during the summer.
Hope you have a great week and stay warm!

Uniforms!

So today I've been thinking a lot about uniforms and how a bunch of people think they like restrict creativity and are not fun. but i think they just test creativity  and how much you can bend the rules!

I interviewed Mia C. a student at a uniformed school

Q: what is your opinion on uniforms?

A: I don't think uniforms are good bc we can express are selfs thru what what we wear and I just want to wear what i want

Q: do you think schools should have uniforms?

A: No, no, no, no

Q: what do you think are the limits of bending rules are?

A: i think that if its not in the hand book its ok and that when bending u can do even thing at one like break the rules slowly.

if you need help with your uniform problems email me at balloonsandbikes@gmail.com !

Top 3 favs of February 2013

Hey cupcakes! So this month I have found out about really cool designers, fashions, and just a lot of STUFF. So, I wanna share my top 3 favorite things with you! Hope you like 'em!

1! Ok so I LOVE sweaters! And I'm not talking about normal everyday sweaters; I'm talking about huge sweaters. Like the ones that are crazy and cool!

2! And speaking of crazy cool sweaters, this leads me on to my next favorite thing. My next fav is Joseph Aaron Segal. He's a designer that I am crazy about! My favorite part about him is that he's not afraid that his clothes will like "consume the model" which I think is so fun and cool. If you want to know more about him ill leave a link below!
www.worldofjas.com (btw he's stuff is so expensive.... But cool!!)

3! Is FLORALS! So if u know me u know I love dresses and frilly things. So because winter is turning into spring I've been breaking out my dresses and florals. Today I did a big shop with my sister on on bodenusa.com . I didn't really want to because I thought it would all be like little kid stuff but it really wasn't. I found so many cute floral dresses and sweaters. But my one precaution is... That a lot of their stuff has a lot of stripes on them so don't get sucked in! Hahahaha!!! :P

Thanks for reading!

Winter Sweaters

Hey y'all!! Winter sweaters!!! Ok so recently there have been many winter sweaters floating around and I think they're so cute!! My 2 faves are the one below and the one with a polar bear on it. Both are from Urban Outfitters and are fab!! I've seen people wear them so many different ways but my favorites are....
1. With just a plain white/ gray polo underneath
2. Or if you want to dress it down you can just wear it with a plain tank top under

This last ones my fav!

3. Lastly you can wear it with simple accessories! I like the look were you just add a gold or silver pin. When you do this you really just want to make it your own!

Hope this has been helpful!!

Have a great weekend

So I dare all of u to try to be happier this this week!! :) so what ever ur doing take a minuet to think about all the things you are grateful for and just smile!

Have a great week
