Get More Out of Your Clothes!

Hey guys! AllieCat here. So it's that time of year when you are just starting to think about cold weather clothes. It's still summer, but you find yourself going through jeans from last year. And there is always that sad moment when your favorite pair of jeans is too short, and it leaves your ankles exposed. But wait! Don't throw those in the trash! You can easily repurpose those old jeans to be shorts! It's simple.

What You Will Need:
  • pair of too short jeans
  • fabric scissors or just really sharp ones :)
  • needle and thread (optional)
  • iron (optional)
  • bleach (optional)
  • razor knife (optional)
Here's what you do:
  1. put your pair of jeans on
  2. using a marker, mark where you want to cut them (NOTE: make the cut about 2-3 inches longer than the length you want the shorts to end up)
  3. take off the jeans an lay them out flat
  4. using your scissors, cut straight along the mark you made ON ONE LEG
  5. then, fold the jeans in half hot dog style, line up very evenly, and cut the other leg along the line you already cut.
  6. now you have a pair of shorts. Below are some options to make them more attractive or spice them up!
Bleaching:

Bleaching denim gives it a distressed look. It lightens the fabric to create cool effects. Here are some things you can do with bleaching!
  1. tie dye bleaching:
  • scrunch up your new shorts and place rubber bands in different areas completely randomly.
  • Fill a spray bottle with 1/2 bleach, 1/2 water, and lightly spray denim
  • After about 10 minutes, unwrap shorts and see if it is faded enough for your taste. if not, leave it for a little longer.
  • when it is sufficiently faded, wash them!
    2.  Distress bleaching:
  • Fill spray bottle with a mix of bleach and water. The ratio depends on how faded you want this to be
  • Spray certain areas. The ones that look best would be around the pockets, cuffs, and very lightly on the legs.
  • Wait until it is sufficiently faded, then wash!
Cuffing:

This will give your shorts a neater appearance.
  1. Simply fold up the bottoms of your shorts twice, aka double cuffing.
  2. If you want to, use needle and thread to sew the sides of the cuffing so they don't come undone.
  3. I recommend ironing the cuff to keep the creases stiff.
Distressing:

This gives your shorts a worn, and well, distressed look.

  1. Simply take a sharp razor knife, and repeatedly swipe across the fabric so there is slight fraying and tears. I don't reccomend making large holes in your shorts...
And now you have a super cute pair of shorts that didn't cost a dime! You can also make cheap shorts just by purchasing a pair of jeans from goodwill and using these techniques. This way, your shorts will be cheaper, and you can make them more dress code appropriate then some you would find at stores!

Have fun and don't forget about our contest in the previous post!

Fruit Smoothies!

Hi! Allie here with another delicious and healthy summer treat! Want something that's healthy, yummy, and oh-so-refreshing? How about a fruit smoothie! This recipe isn't your ordinary smoothie recipe. There is no yogurt, just milk. So it is not as thick, but very light and delicious. It's a glass of frothy goodness!

This recipe works well with any fruit, but my favorites are banana or peach. I will show you the recipe for the peach one, but you can substitute peach for fruits like strawberries, bananas, papaya, or any combination of those.

You will need:
1 cup of milk
about 1/2 cup of chopped peaches (or other fruit)
1 tablespoon of sugar (you can add more if you want :)
1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla (add more if you like)

Blend all the ingredients until you have a smooth, refreshing smoothie! This recipe makes one serving, so double it if you want to share with a friend. Serve chilled or over crushed ice if desired.

ENJOY! :))

Swimsuits

Hey guys, Sniggy here! It is that time of year again. Pool time. Of course, most people contemplate which type of swimsuit is better. I feel that they can all be good.

One piece swimsuits is what I wear, and those of you that might feel uncomfortable showing your belly might want to go with this option. You can get so many different patterns and styles! I know if you do swimming, you show wear this type of swimsuit! You can really buy them anywhere!





If you want a more beach and summery look, go for a two piece. They come
 in lots of colors and types as well. You can shop for really cute two pieces at JC Penny. It's on sale for twelve dollars! Check it out by clicking here! There are plenty of styles for all types of needs!

That's all for now, email us at liveinhotpink@gmail.com .

Sandals

Something that is really hot right now is sandals. Greek Sandals! An example on the right! Every one is wearing them! Some great places to get them right now is TJ Max, Forever 21, and other stores that you may love!

The thing that I really like about Greek Sandals is that you can get really any style and any color. You can get them with buckles and flowers with thick or thin straps. You can get the braided type or just the plain type. Everyone is wearing them now. They are really summery and look good with almost any type of clothing. They might hurt the back of your foot, if they do, just put one band aid on each foot!!!

That's all for this time!! Check back later for more! Email us at liveinhotpink@gmail.com .

Summer

Hey guys Sniggy here. Ok, so summer is coming! I normally have a really hard time finding stuff to do. But I came up with some great ideas!

Get together with friends! You don't want to forget that you always have them! You can think of something fun to do with them.

Have sleepovers! Nothing is better than getting together with friends and talking! For more fun have more than one friend over. You can even go to one person's house for one night and then just go to someone else's for the next!

Play with water! Who doesn't love swimming, in a community pool (which can be disgusting) or at a friends house! You  can even put a sprinkler in your front lawn and then just run around in it!

Lemonade stands. Who doesn't love a nice cool lemonade in the hot summer? Open a lemonade stand and watch money pile up! One you make lots of money, you can go on a shopping spree or just go to Starbucks or Orange leaf.

Go to a bookstore. Sure, you may think the school year is over so why do I need to read? Books are a great form of using time! Maybe you might be inspired to write a book of your own someday. Plus, at every good bookstore there is a  variation of items!

Shopping sprees are fun, especially with friends! Dedicate at least one day in the summer to shopping. If you want to get new clothes or a new backpack! Anything.

Thanks for reading! Get your friends to come to our blog! Thanks for reading guys! There will be more ideas for stuff to do over the Summer! Thanks!

Friend Trouble

Hey guys! I decided to do a new kind of post on best friends! Don't you remember when you made a new BFF. Someone that you can relate to. That you can share everything with? Then summer comes and next year they are hanging out with different people, and you have almost no bells with them? Don't feel sad! Even if you feel jealous that they don't really hang out with you, you should talk to new people. I found a person with all the sames interests with me this year (trust me, it is hard to find someone who listens to K- Pop). Meeting new people really can help. Don't forget to keep in touch with all of your old friends though! Don't get frustrated or jealous just because your best friend doesn't really hang out with you. Just meet new people! This actually happened to me. I used to sit with my best friend at lunch, but then I decided to sit somewhere else and I made lots of new friends!

If there is someone new at your school, don't ignore them, introduce yourself! Don't ignore someone just because you have a close net of friends. I talked to a new girl in science. I have been slowly figuring out we have all the same interests! You should be the one to start the conversations! If they introduce themselves to you, invite them to sit with you at lunch! It is the kind thing to do. It is really bad if they don't know anyone that they can sit next to at lunch and hang out with at recess! Who knows, maybe you could make a new best friend!

Don't EVER judge someone by what they look like! If you don't know the person personally you have no right to judge them! Don't judge a book by its cover! Looks aren't everything. Even if they don't look very nice, or don't wear good clothes, doesn't mean that they are horrible people. The people that judge others by looks are just mean people who think that they are better looking and they need people that are pretty to surround them. These are the people that don't have any respect for anyone that isn't them or that isn't like them.
Thanks for reading guys. Please share the blog with everyone!!! Leave a comment or email us at liveinhotpink@gmail.com . Thanks again!

Tank Tops!

Hey guys! It is practially summer! So while going on a shopping spree, I came up with a new topic (get it TOPic... nevermind). TANK TOPS! These are really cute and are nice. Our school has a three finger policy, if yours has something similar, just bring a light jacket! If a teacher doesn't really care, you don't need a jacket! Tanks come  in all different patterns! Just like the frilly one shown right. It is really summery and cute! The one shown left is also really cute! Stripes look great with shorts! Anyways, find a style that matches you!

The floral print shown left is really cute! Paired with a pair of light colored shorts, this can shine! Another favorite of mine is the one shown right. The classic diamond pattern stands out. This would look really cute with a pair of white shorts.



I loved this tank top (shown right) so much, that I actually bought it! I bought it in the color blue, but white looks great also! Either tank top should be paired with white capris! These looks are really summery! The tank top shown right is a classic tank top. With a pocket, it is a classic tank!




I love the middle and how it gets lower towards the sides! It is a classic style that everyone loves! The tank top is really cute with shorts that can be dark or light! You can find all of these styles at the forever21 website and at the Old Navy website! Thanks for reading! If you have a post idea, leave a comment or email us at liveinhotpink.gmail.com! Don't be shy! We love your comments. Spread the word with your friends!!!

Not Hot!

These earrings feel really summery!
Hamburger earrings don't impress!
One thing that I despise completely is food earrings. Who wants to have burgers and fries on your ear. Not appealing. Even if they look cute, what do they match with? A McDonald's shirt? No way. If you love this kind of earring, well I think its time to grow up. There is better earrings like the feather ones shown left. They feel and look very summery. They easily match with dresses and school clothes. You can get all types of them. From solid color to stripes. There is always something to match your outfit.

Don't wear colorful earrings, they distract
the attention from your clothes
Another thing I hate is rainbow earrings, shown left. They don't really go with anything and just look bad. Try to get something that looks more modern and cute like hoop earrings!! They come in plenty of colors and styles. Plus, they go with almost everything! You can choose how thick, what color, and plenty of other factors. They look super awesome with about any outfit.

No bug earrings!Unless they are WAY cuter than the ones shown left. Those are too colorful and look just plain ugly. Even small studs can look cute! Especially if you have a complicated outfit. They look plain and modern!

This bag is just HORRIBLE! There are too many colors and the print is way to distracting. Try to find really simple bags, like shown right! They are simple and look super cute! Take the cute bag on the right!! It has that summery feel and looks totally cute! It isn't too colorful and not too busy! You could take it to the beach, or even to school!

Spring Has Arrived!

Hey guys! AllieCat here. So spring has basically arrived, and it is time to dress differently according to the weather. It's been really warm recently, and that is where the dreaded phrase "dress code" really comes into play. My school's dress code is average. It's kind of strict, but not terribly. So here is how to dress cute without getting picked on by old school teachers.

Shorts:
ALL girls have short shorts. Sometimes teachers might pick on you. The trick is an illusion. Wear short shorts, but not ones that show off your cheeks (you may think it is, but honey it is NOT attractive.) The shorts shown on the right are great.





Also, you don't have to wear short shorts. Medium length shorts or capris can be super cute too! I like the ones to the left. But try not to get shorts at the awkward length halfway up the thigh. The capris to the left are cute :)






Tanks:
Girls get picked on most for wearing tank tops. But honestly, as long as you don't show your bra straps, its typically okay. So go for a cute tank top that doesn't show the straps, and you'll be good to go :)

Toms!

One of the shoes that is gaining popularity are Toms. They are shoes that are shaped like Sperry's. A pic of one is shown right. These are very simple shoes. Most colors match with almost anything!


One thing I have noticed that is popular, is the shoe type. Sparkly I do hate this type, but it doesn't look horrible! Shown left, it is not to sparkly! It is nice and simple, and goes with almost any color and any pattern! These shoes are washable so you don't have to worry if you get something on them! They look super cute! They don't hurt your feet too! My friend wears Sperry's, and the back of her foot is red where the Sperry's rub against her foot. These are way more comfy!!Go to their website by clicking here!!! It is really cool and there are plenty of styles for all types of people!!! Check it out!!!

Wake up late?

This happens to me all the time. I wake up to find about 5 minutes to shower, eat breakfast, and get into some nice clothes. This is really stressful and also is just annoying. If you don't have time to put on your makeup correctly, this is just horrible. Of course, there is a solution.

The night before, lay out your clothes and set your makeup out so that you know what you are going to wear and put on. This makes it easier than deciding the next morning. Also, try to shower the night before. Set an alarm clock to go off about ten to thirty minutes before your bus comes. The time depends on how fast or slow you are. If you are fast, try to do twenty minutes. Take ten for getting dressed and putting on makeup, and use the other ten for eating breakfast! This will help you become more efficient. Also, pack your backpack the night before so you aren't rushing around in the morning trying to find any homework. Make a checklist if needed to keep you on track.

When at school, actually use your planbook. Write what you have to do and keep everything in order! If you don't have a planbook, go and get one! At home, make a desk. You only need a table and a chair. Put all of your homework on it. If needed. Put all the homework you need to do in a folder, and take it out one by one and do it. Once you finish one, put it in a homework folder. You can put the homework folder in your backpack. This helps you in two ways. Gets you organized, and makes sure you aren't scrambling for your homework the next morning!!!

Converse Part II

So as a continuation of my previous post, i am going to talk about print styles and options. When picking a print, you have to keep three things in mind.

First, color. You  don't want a super busy print. Try to keep it slightly simple. Like a star print shown left. This isn't too colorful, but the print is unique and shows up. The colors work together. The two dull colors (white and black) balance it out. The green makes it pop! It makes stand out, while not being too busy!

This one is one of my favorite types of print. Splatter. It looks really cool and natural. It doesn't follow a pattern and you can't tell what's going to happen next. This print is unique. It doesn't really have a pattern. This I really like. It can really stand out! It is slightly dull, and should be used with a slightly dark outfit.


The second thing to consider is styling. You don't want something shown right. It looks slightly childish with all the flowers. I mean, flowers? Really? People think that look really cute with flowers, but not really. It just ruins everything.


And the last thing to consider, is your opinion. I just give you tips. You choose your own fashion inspiration. Just because I don't like flowers on clothes, doesn't mean you can't pull off a flower dress. Your styles represent who you are. So be yourself! Let your inspiration guide you! Be free! Its your clothes, wear what you want to!

Please email us ideas at liveinhotpink@gmail.com . We really love your imput and comments!!

Blog Renovations!

Hey guys! AllieCat here! I was thinking maybe of renovating the site a little! You know, just change the design a bit...it would make it more attractive and hopefully attracct more viewers! Also I am now adding polls to our blog! Scroll to the bottom an you should see a little survey question!! (I will probably make the polls more accesible in the renovation...) but do it fast! Polls close at a certain time. Lastly, I recently added a new thingamahoozee to your side bar (the things on the right of ur screen) that shows you our most viewed posts!

So just let me know what you think of renovating, and give me ideas through comments or email us at liveinhotpink@gmail.com! See ya!

Converse Crazy!

Almost everyone has heard of converse shoes! Shown right. These are classic shoes that come in so many different colors and patterns. In fact, I decided to visit their website, and was it fun! I designed my own shoes! I made many pairs, but the ones shown below are my FAVORITES!!! You should check out their website!

Anyways, the colors really matter! Black and red look totally cool! I made the shoe to the left! The colors pop and look really cute! The plaid design inside really lets it stand out! If you are a bit more girly than this, the next color scheme might be better for you!!!!!


The colors for this one are really cute together! The light pink and grey don't overpower you and look awesome! The cupcake design inside the shoe pulls it together.



Ah, green and white are perfect! It makes you feel light, in a way, while looking awesome! This is a simple design, but looks stunning. The green really pops out! The white is the secondary color so that the shoe isn't too colorful and attention grabbing. This is a really cute shoe!


The last design I am going to show you is really cool. The blue and white might look really dull together. So why not just throw in some yellow? The stripe on the bottom of the shoe draws some attention! It looks good with almost any outfit as well.


I have showed you a few really cool shoes!!! Next time, I am going to post about prints on shoes. Leave a comment and tell your friends! Thanks!

Vera Bradley

Almost everyone likes Vera Bradley. They have so many prints to choose from and a wide variety of things from headbands to scarves to suitcases. Vera Bradley is a fashion empire that just doesn't stop. Here is what's popular and what's not!

Vera Bradley patterns are the ones that complete the item. I judge what's cute by two things.


  • Color
  • How patterned it is
You don't want the print shown left. It just uses the wrong colors and it way too busy. I don't want to offend anyone who likes this. Everyone has a different style! 

I really like the pattern shown right. The pattern is simple and the colors pop! The pattern is eye pleasing and really makes it pop!

I have seen girls with Vera Bradley pencils. I think that is going over the top. They cost a fortune! Just buy plain yellow pencils! Also, most people buy a cosmetic bag for a pencil pouch. This is really smart and cute! It also lets you pick the size. That's all for now. Please leave comments of anything you want to know or see posted! We really love your comments and inspiration!

Leggings!

Leggings. When I say that word, many of you may picture a short skirt with some white or black leggings. But not me. I actually listen to Korean Music, and in one music video, there was a girl wearing shorts and a pale green and white leggings. I thought that they looked really cute on her! Of course, this isn't a hard look to pull off, but it may be hard to find really cool leggings. But of course, if you know where to look, you can find anything.

The first place I thought of to look for unique stuff at super cheap prices, was Forever 21. This store has got everything! Most people wear black, white, or grey leggings, while some people go bold. The leggings on the left really stand out. They don't really yell LOOK AT ME! But they do make a statement.


Something that I think really goes with shorts and pink leggings, is a gray scarf. If you look at my previous post on scarves, you can see the color match-ups. Pink goes with grey really well! Try to use this as a base, and build on it. Go with a white shirt to finish off the look.

Don't go overboard. Simple can look striking. As I always say NO RAINBOWS!! This makes you look like a complete fool. You would look like a rainbow just threw up on you!

If you can get a patterned legging that really looks cool, buy it! If you like it, and it really looks cute, go for it! A daring buy on your left. Some people like the color, some don't. I think that this can look 'ok'. But if you make it the center point of your outfit, it can shine on its own. When wearing something as patterned as this, don't wear other distracting colors!

Also, a note to the readers. If you have any ideas or anything you want to see posted, email us at liveinhotpink@gmail.com . Please email us and leave comments!!!! We love your imput!

Mix and Match

Okay, this always happens to me: you are staring at the same boring outfit, and you want to change it up! This usually happens to me with T shirts. So how can you use other articles of clothing to make your look more interesting and less tired?

                                  Scarves!
Scarves are great because there is a huge variety of them! You can choose a color that will tie your outfit together. For example, you might have a super bored looking plain T shirt and jeans. How do you spice it up? With a funky pattern! Anything from plaid to stripes, polka dot, pictures, tie dye, or even animal print like shown left! Get a variety of scarves and choose different ones to mathc your mood! Maybe you want to go bold with a bright pattern, or tone it down with a nice soft solid color.





Belts!
I like to use belts to modify shirts that have shapes I don't like. For example, maybe the top to the left was not very flattering to your body: it flared out it all the wrong places. You can easily modify that by putting a cute belt around the waist of a shirt! Experiment by putting your belt in many different places to find where it looks best...






                                                    Leggings
Have you ever looked at a pair of your shorts or a skirt and thought it was boring? Ever thought about putting leggings under it? Leggings come in so many shapes, colors, and designs, you will definitely find something for you! Some people think leggings and shorts look tacky, but if you wear them with the right colors to match, you will look amazing!

More Batmitzvah Styles!


In one of our many comments, was a plea for MORE batmizvah style, so here it is!

Actually, I have to attend a batmitzvah soon, so here are some MORE tips.


As stated before, the service is less formal, and you can wear a skirt (go with a pencil skirt, shown right), and a flowy top (shown left). These look really cute while being totally sophisticated!


Shoes are really important. NO SNEAKERS! This makes you look like you really don't care about this person's batmitzvah and that you would rather be anywhere else. Boots are really good! Try to avoid Ugg's because they don't really look good for parties!

Handbags are necessary! They complete the outfit and make you look super sophisticated. There is a really cute one shown to the left! Also check out Alliecat's post on purses!




For the party part of the batmitzvah, you will need to look formal and cute! You have to wear a dress, as it is what you must do at the party part of a batmitzvah.

Don't wear sparkily dresses, as they just look overdone. Aim for a classic dress, but not one that comes to your ankles, as that makes you look old fashioned. Aim for one that comes either above or right below your knees.

Do your hair up cute! Curl it the night before by putting in in braids, straighten it or curl it! Whatever you think looks good on you!

Try to avoid headbands, because they make you look like you are going to school with a dress on! Keep your hair down, girls think that their hair looks ugly, but it really doesn't.

Jewelry is really cute and can totally make your outfit shine! Try to get something that matches like earrings or a necklace. Don't wear like twenty necklaces, as it takes the simplicity out of your outfit and just makes you look overdone!

Go a tad easy on the make-up. Don't smother yourself with eyeliner, mascara or lip gloss! Try to put reasonable amounts of it on!

That's all for this time! Comment and email us at liveinhotpink@gmail.com

Uggly Uggs!

So its winter and if you go to school, I bet that 99% of all girls at school will own at least ONE pair of Uggs. The brand is popular and makes really warm shoes, but they can also make uggly uggs!

Try to avoid the splatter paint uggs, shown left. They don't really go with anything and just look plain uggly! The colors do pop, but they drag the attention from your outfit, and instead focus on the shoes that just don't look very cute.






The classic, 'double look'. You can pay the amount for one pair of boots, but in a way, get two! This particular boot, shown right, does that! So it can match your mood. The one downside...? The color. Color is one of the most important things when considering clothing. It can match your outfit, show your mood, or show your spirit! Try to not get too bright colors, as it tips off your look at just looks like you blindly threw something on. The four colors that go with almost anything would be brown, black, grey, and white! Before you buy anything colorful, think 'Do I have anything to go with this?'. If you don't, leave it. If you have something that would looks 'ok' then leave it. You want something that really makes you look and feel good! If you think that you will wear it and that you really want it, go for it!


When I first saw the boot, shown left, I thought 'Eww'. The color is ok, but the buttons just push me off the edge. I mean, those colors don't go together and the overall look is just plain HIDEOUS!






Here is a life lesson. Just because it's branded, doesn't mean it looks good. An example is shown right. The colors don't pop, and it looks like it is made for a guy! It looks as if it was made for mountain climbing, or for a particularly boring outfit. Avoid boring things, but also avoid crazy things.




I know that lots of people want to stand out, be different, but there has to be another way. Who wants to wear something fuzzy on their leg? Not me. It looks as it someone shaved a ferret and stuck the fur on their boot. Not the way to go. This boot just spells R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.
