A Look Into Emily's Spring Shoe Closet

Salutations!
     How art thou beautiful people out there?
   
     So I've been thinking that I haven't done any real fashion posts lately, so to redeem myself, I have decided to do a post about some of the many pairs of shoes I own. First up is...

     Ballet Flats! I love these cute, fun, and easy-to-wear shoes, but I have yet to find a pair that don't start hurting my feet after a day out. They can make an outfit look chic, sophisticated, or flirty. I have to say, I don't have a favorite brand when it comes to these particular shoes; but no doubt are they a vital part of my spring wardrobe.

Leopard print satiny fabric with large black cotton ribbon bow

Black slipper with small silver rhinestones

Red, white, & blue canvas floral pattern with light brown leather trim and bow

Ballet Flat Family!

Runner up...

     Sandals! I consider these to range from decorative flip-flops to strappy gladiator whatevers. Like the flat, the sandal can set the whole entire mood for an outfit, so it is very important to get a wide selection for spring and summer! When there is a nice, warm, outdoor occasion and flip-flops are too casual, go with the classic sandal. A simple look can go a long way with these bad boys!

My favorite pair! The slight heel gives it a slim look and the periwinkle blue seersucker curly bow gives it such a cute, girly look!

I love all the fabrics used for the ruffles in this one. It's super comfortable and matches with a LOT of my wardrobe.

  
     Even though I don't have them, I would strongly recommend buying a fringe sandal (Remember: It's all about color!) and a sandal embroidered with a flower made out of light, airy fabric (Gives a very carefree, young, fresh look). Then add a few of your own with your personal flavor and twist and you are all set for the most fashionable feet of the season! :D

Buttons & Ruffles,

Toms Poll

Hey, hey, hey...

Recently, I decided I wanted Toms after seeing an ad for them. I also love the fact that when a person buys a pair of Toms, they give a pair of shoes to those who need it. But I couldn't decide which pair I liked the most... LOL. So I thought I would ask you guys your opinion.





1. Youth Classics-red, black, ash, navy, natural, pink, or fuchsia

2. Women Classics-black, olive, ash, navy, red, white, natural, chocolate, or blue

3. Mother's Day Vegan Classics- navy or white

Scroll down to where it says "also available in.." to see the other colors. Tell me in the comments what you think, and include the color too!
P.S. Sorry I couldn't get the pictures to be bigger! If I made them big, they were fuzzy! hahah..

XOXOXO,

Charm Update Numero Uno

Hola chicas!

     So I wanted to tell you about this awesome new thing called "polymer clay". I saw a bunch of YouTube videos where people showed their clay charms and other creations and thought it was really cool, so I went to the Michael's near my house. I bought Craftsmart white clay, Premo black clay, acrylic paints, earring hooks, jump rings, head pins, and metal jewelery chains. 

     What you do is take a chunk of the clay, knead until it is soft, then shape it. After you make whatever charm you want, you put whatever headpin, jump ring, or eye pin into the figurine and bake it following the baking instructions on the clay package. You then remove the clay from the oven and by the time it is done cooling, the figurine will be hard. Use the acrylic paint and a paintbrush to paint your figurine, then let it dry. Afterwards, you can thread it through a chain or twist your headpin into a hook to make a pendant and you have your new clay creation! :D

     If you don't have steady hands or you live in a dusty house (little hairs and other gross stuff from the table stick to the clay and it looks especially bad on white clay) just buy colored clay with no paint instead of buying white clay and acrylic paint. Also, you don't have to buy any jewelery supplies if you just wanna make figurines, it's up to you!

     I also posted a video on YouTube of my first OFFICIAL charm update, so here's a link:

     I'm planning on doing a lot more charm updates because I love arts & crafts, especially this material, because it is SO easy to work with. Keep your eyes open!

More to come,

Emily <3

Hey, sorry I had to take down the video! My mom said I'm not allowed. But basically what I said was that Emily made me really cute narwhal earrings and i wanted to thank her for that.

XOXO, Sophie

Cutepolish :3

Hola mi amigos! 

     

     In celebration of "The Merge" I wanted to tell you guys about one of my go-to beauty gurus. Her YouTube username is "cutepolish" and she does tutorials on really cute nail art designs. 

     

     The best thing about her is that she uses video, not a picture slideshow, and that she narrates every step. She also posts really frequently so she has accumulated a lot of different designs and she has tutorials for every occasion: a wedding, the winter holidays, a party, you name it! 

     I find that every time I wear one of her designs, my friends all go "Woah! Cool, how'd you do that? So for that day when you want an extra special "Wow!" factor, I highly recommend wearing one of her designs ;)

     Here are some of her links to my favorite designs of hers personally: 
 

Newspaper Nail Art Design:

Paint Splatter Nail Art Design:

Merger ! XO

Hey guys :D

     

     I know I've been neglecting my blog a LOT lately (and by lately I mean over 2 months). I just can't seem to get out of this rut no matter how hard I try... But that's no excuse... I should know, my sister and my best friend, Sophie, have been getting on my case about it recently (and by recently I mean over 2 months).

     

     Soooooooooooooo... I decided to merge my blog with Sophie! We're hoping it'll give my, *Ahem* I mean OUR blog a jump start and be one of those "learning experiences" our parents always talk about. 

     

     We are going to try to keep the main fashion theme because apparently we are "hyper-active teeny-boppers who only care about over-priced designer clothing and cherry flavored lip gloss"(quoted from one of my favorite books), but also including other stuff we just happen to feel like blogging about... like rantings about teachers who assign a weeks-worth of homework over spring break because they've just realized school's almost over (Something to look forward to).

     

     And so, my faithful three followers, one of which IS Sophie, the second my sister, and the third one of her followers which I strongly suspect only started following my blog because it was on my sisters profile,(I know pretty pathetic) I am formally apologizing to you for not posting for like, EVER in blogger years. 

     

     And... presenting to you without further adieu, drumroll please, the NEW and IMPROVED: The Inner Workings of Budding FashionistaSSSSsssssssss... (emphasis on the plural) We hope you like! :D

Hugs & Kisses,

Emily & Sophie <3

P.S.: We also recorded some videos of us talking about the new blog and pretty much everything I just mentioned in the post above... Enjoy! :D
