Back to DIY: Sisterhood Jeans a.k.a INSPIRING Jeans By Andrea

Hi Dolls! Whenever I feel like I am overthinking a certain situation and that I need to unwind I always fin cool DIY ideas to do so this one came fom me reminiscing about my favourite books ever: "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" and tat cool pair of jeans. So, I decided to do one myself with my favourite quotes!

DIY




  1. Start from the bottom of the front part and keep writing your favourite quotes with different types of handwritting, all the way up. Then,do the same with the other part. I like going from the bottom up because I feel like this way I am more comfortable writting and more aware of the empty spaces ,I want to leave like that and the ones I want to write more.
Do you want to see the pair I created? 
 I took inspiration from a post I didabout confidence and from Pinterest ( Follow me shineonbyandrea)

HobbyCraft 120ml Multi-Purpose Fabric Glue

  1. Individually glue the studs to the pencil case carefully as the light fabric will slide them and you could mess up easily. you could glue them together or create a design. Be creative. You could sew them if the case material is not too thick and get amazing results too. It is completely up to you!
  2. Let it dry an entire night and add your favorite keychains to make it a bit more rocker chic. I love attaching beauty key chains that have a little real mascara or lip gloss attached. Those are fantastic!! Check out H&M for those ;) 

Do you guys enjoy DIY posts? Do you want me to share my college experience in some posts too? I think it is a great idea!

AndreaStyles: Rocker chic Back to School - Requested by Maria

Hi Dolls! So today' s post is another AndreaStyles episode! I love doing this posts because I would not mind working as a stylist and being the best one ( even better than my idol Rachel Zoe because I am ambitious like that ;) ) . This way I get to have a bit more experience and have fun with fashion while helping you with your wardrobe.

- Introducing Maria: 
Maria is a 17 year old senior in high school that has a rocker chic style and she finds difficult taking her inner rock star to high school as ripped jeans are not allowed so here I am helping her with back to school shopping! I found this challenge amazing because I love going rocker chic sometimes but I haven't showed you guys that side of mine yet so I thought this will be the perfect opportunity to do that! :)
She also wanted me to show her an extremely easy make up look for everyday, since she wants to just use a couple of products and rock the hall.

So for this outfit I looked for the perfect pair of jeans that were rocker chic but still school appropriate. I chose a pair of grey slim fit jeans that even though they are not ripped they have that rock star vibe with the fading undertones in it, and by not being too loud, it is way more versatile.
Then, I grabbed a concert graphic t-shirt, that Maria told me she had plenty of those and I added a stripped blazer to have that chic touch going on.
I used some black flats since that is what she told me that she lived in along with combat boots and converse. And I chose a big studded bag which to me it sounded like the best option for Maria. She could even take that with her for a night out,  because it is so stylish and such an easy accessory to have. I finished the look with a big bold black ring that dresses the outfit a bit more in a easy way. She could just grab the ring and run out the door, looking like she put actually a lot of thought to it when she really didn't but that's the magic of big statement jewelry ;)

For the Make up I chose a high pigmented nude lip gloss and black eyeliner thay has an easy applicator.

This is my favorite outfit! I want Maria to experiment a bit with trends so I mixed the military trend with faux fur vest that adds that glam to the rocker chic vibe and a simple big blouse that looks really casual. Finally I accessorized the outfit a bit with a simple bag and some cool quoted jewelry. You guys know that quoted jewelry is such a favorite of mine because the fact that it has a quote makes it a lot more put together and it is a cute detail to add depth to any outfit.

Last but not least Maria asked me for a going out look and my advice is buy a little black dress that has a flattering design but that it is so simple and go cray-cray with the accessories. When I found those heels I thought of Maria absentmindedly and then I chose a cute clutch that went with it. Do you guys know what I really like this clutch with too? with floral printed dresses to take away that naive touch that is not Maria style but she still is rocking the lady trend but making really her.
