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!

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

Happy??

Hey!! So a few weeks ago I watched this documentary on happiness and they said that a man who pulls carts in India is happier then 90% of most rich business men. Pretty crazy! So it made me start to think about how most people can control how happy they are right? 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
