College Style Guide 101 + New series Idea!

Sin título #271

Hi Dolls! Yesterday I was taking to one of my beautiful subscribers and she asked me to make a college style guide for the main three events she has going on: Rush, Spring Fling and Frat Parties. So I am not going to be giving you an outfit idea, but also some tips about packing for college!

STEFFEN SCHRAUT silk top

Monsoon pleated pants
€45 - monsoon.co.uk

Steve Madden high heel sandals
€75 - stevemadden.com

Tinley road
€41 - piperlime.gap.com

ALDO bracelets jewelry

Stella & Dot long feather earrings

If there is something that makes me jealous of those of you who study in the USA, it is sororities, I would totally love being part of one of those...
To make a good impression and boost your confidence for the interview I created the perfect outfit. I loved playing with color to show a bit of my personality as your sisters to be will probably remind you more for your outfit than for your name ( they are meeting a lot of girls like you, so you better make an statement, right?)
Remember 50 shades of Grey? So the trick is doing the same with your favorite color and complement that with a settled print ( nothing to cray cray!)

Now I am taking you to a different scenario... Let's go meet some hot rockers at the spring fling!

Topshop leather jacket
€190 - topshop.com

Converse flat shoes
€75 - bloomingdales.com

Zara mini messenger bag
€30 - zara.com

GUESS rhinestone jewelry
€19 - zappos.com

If there is something I can recommend you to get in one of your mall trips, that would be a fun pair of converse! They go with everything and make you feel like a rockstar!
Another idea I put in this outfit was a survey I read ( somewhere) that guys find more attractive girls with ripped shorts (not a good point enough to wear them!) and since those are comfy and so cute ( Good point!) Let's rock them gurls!

Body con dress

When attending college if there is something your agenda is going to be packed with ( besides assignments!) that is parties! So I put this outfit together with basics: Hot dress, leather jacket, rude pumps.



What was your favorite outfit? 
New post series ALERT! Do you want me to blog about the newest episodes of Pretty Little Liars and/or The Carrie Diaries with you?? Let me know in the comments! I think that could be fun!

Girl Talk: Making Friends 101

Sin título #269

Hi Dolls! I am planning on starting a new series which is going to be a "Girl Talk" and I am going to be answering your questions about general issues. Do you like the idea?
I am going to be talking from my very own experience, so I think it is good to tell you a little bit about me, before going straight to the tips: I am  a social butterfly, it is just who I am. I love talking to people and making new friends is quite easy for me. I know I am  blessed in that area and that is the main reason why I think it could be interesting  for me to write a post like this one.

  • Be a conversation starter: I know if you are shy you would be probably thinking: " Andrea you lost it... it is official" But the truth is that once you start a conversation with someone, you not only appeal more confident to that person, but you will also feel that way. Why? Because you are crossing your own boundaries. Practice makes perfect so do it to someone random and next time will be easier...I promise!
  • Ask for advice/help: When it comes to making new friends, asking for help to a shop assistant or for a song to a cute Dj is an easy opportunity.
  • Go outside!: You can study and surf in the internet at a coffee shop, which you are more willing to know someone than at home...
  • Never ever take it personally!: If someone is not responding to your talk, do not take it personally. In fact, it has nothing to do with you and your awesome social skills, it is probably just a rough day like the ones you personally experience ;)
Are you a shy person? Any tips do you want to share? Let me know in the comments or TWEET ME @shineonbyandrea I wanna talk to you and be twittahfriends ;)

The Carrie Diaries Inspired Outfits: New Trend Alert!

Sin título #232
Hi Dolls! With " The Carrie Diaries" premiering next week the 70-80s trend is going to be back, I am so sure of that! 
Being this tv show form the producers of "Gossip Girl" I can totally promise you that it is going to be the next big thing,as we are all super excited and we haven't seen it yet!
I read the first book a while ago and I have the second one waiting for me...!

The clue to dress like Carrie is to play with fashion, colors and prints and think outside the box. An example of thinking outside the box, is the first outfit that combines neon, prints and a super Carrie iphone case, because the 70s-80s are a trend to mix with not to live at. Another way to incorporate this trend is with pop art items to add to your bedroom ( I will do a post about that soon!)

I love taking this trend and mix it with an office pencil skirt that is so serious and totally opposite to the wild colors that are so Carrie.

If there is something that Carrie and I have in common is our love for unique yet different pieces, like this earrings. For me what it is key in being different is trying wild pieces and wear them in your very own style.

I wanted to create an every day  outfit and to be honest I had a blast with this one, it has the sparkles and the neon converse, and a simple cotton tie that looks super sporty.

Last but not least Carrie knows how to be sweet as well. I really love the sunnies and how this rubber bangles blend together, but she likes to slow down fancy dresses with denim jackets as well and that is exactly what this dress was calling for...!
