I have a lot more but these look vintage together xo
Tell me if you want me to make some more!

Hello everyone! Do you need new clothing for school or work but don't feel like going to the mall? Online shopping is the best, I love online shopping, but many things can go wrong so here are a few tips to get what you want, sufficiently :)
 
O1;; Know the store's sizes.
This isn't a big thing if there are reviews but let's say the model wears an x-small...try to go from that. Be smart about it, this requires some thinking, but like if the model looks big on it and that same model was in other clothes that fit her perfectly, then it might be too big on you. Maybe they are trying to tell you to buy a size smaller because it is a bit oversized, or maybe you want it oversized because that's the style :)
 
O2;; Read the reviews. ALWAYS.
I know this is sort of obvious, but read reviews!! Whether there is one review, or twenty, they will ALWAYS help you. For example, in the Urban Outfitters shopping website a bunch of their clothing have reviews and also show pictures people took of how it looked on them. That helps me the most because sometimes the color is different or if someone is the exact same size as you(reviewers usually tell you their size so you can relate) then you can see how it looks on them! And you never know, sometimes a top looks really nice but then you read the reviews and they all say that it tore in like one day or it develops holes after the first wash or something like that.
 
O2;; Know your size.
For example, if you don't know your shoe size, like if you think you're in between a 7 1/2 and an 8, don't buy shoes online. That's too risky, ESPECIALLY if they do not accept free returns.
 
O3;; Don't use debit cards.
It's just not a good idea and too hard to explain. Just don't.
 
O4;; Check your email.
When you submitted the order, check your email. You are supposed to get a confirmation email so you know your order went in.
 
O5;; If something's wrong, you can talk to the customer service online! If you need help with something, I'm sure you can email someone from the shop or talk to the online services :) You can also ask me if you'd like.
 
O6;; Be safe.
This may sound weird but online shopping can be dangerous. They can use your email or your address for something else if you don't put it in the right place something can pop up and they can ask you to get free screensavers, but those are actually NOT free and are also NOT scam free!
 
O7;; Look for the lock.
Never ever, ever buy anything online using your credit card from a site that doesn't have SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption installed—at the very least. You'll know if the site has SSL because the URL for the site will start with HTTPS:// (instead of just HTTP://).
 
O8;; Check statements.
Don't just wait for the bill at the end of the month and the bag to come to your home with your new clothing. Go online to the website every once and a while and make sure your order number wasn't changed and also you should try tracking your order a few times to make sure it's not late or anything because sometimes they can give you a discount if it is(although sometimes they don't tell you when it's going to arrive so you don't know if it's late or not). Look at the electronic statements for your credit card and make sure your order was not just fraudulently charged, because then they may cancel your card.
 
Okay now here's some special tricks I use when I shop online! Please don't get mad if you think my personal tricks are bad or whatever, they actually work and if you don't agree, you obviously don't have to keep reading...just leave before you reach the comment box, okay?
 
♥ Most online shopping stores have clothing that is "online only" or have deals that are only for people who shop online, so I would recommend taking advantage of that type of stuff. My favorite part of shopping online, is the techniques the stores have for you to use. Like if you want to buy a top but you want a really cheap top, whether or not it is on the sale page, there is a bar at the top where you can press that you want to see the tops going from cheapest to most expensive or most expensive to least. If you're on a budget, find the bar and press least to most (or on UO it says "price" and then an arrow pointing up) and then don't even bother scrolling anymore if it's a top above 40 bucks. Don't get your hopes up on something you like but don't wanna spend the money on, it's not worth it! Then do the same thing in the other categories and in the sale and in the good deals and in clearance. Just basically rade the whole website for cheap stuff. You can find tops for 2.99 on Forever 21 if you do this.
 
♥ Look for coupons on other websites that you can get for free, but not scams!
 
♥ I love doing this. I put whatever crap I like in my shopping bag, I mean, who is going to stop me? And basically don't really think too much except to see that I like it and that I have already read the reviews and made sure that I will like it, and then just press add to shopping bag. When I get to my shopping bag, I obviously am not gonna buy everything I got, so I just limit it down little by little until I have just as much that I want. The most I would buy online at the same time is probably like eight things.
 
♥ Don't just buy one thing! Unless you have free shipping or a coupon, there is no point in paying shipping for just one thing. Even if you buy like a cheap little ring or something you'd wear just for fun, there has to be more than one thing you like. There is no point in buying a 4 dollar necklace and then pay like twice that for shipping...so buy something else or don't buy anything! :)
 
♥ lol ok last tip, do NOT press the submit order button more than once.
 
That's all, I hope this tip benefits you guys :)

Second htw of the day! And more coming! :)
Requested by @kaseymanson
 
Again, I'm sorry for any mispellings because I am rushing and have to make many more of these.
 
♥ FIRST OUTFIT ♥
Okay so this is probably the most grunge outfit here, which probably matches with the grunge styled dr. martens!! So, first you can start with a white blouse(more white blouse styles here: http://www.polyvore.com/how_to_wear_white_collar/set?id=57003964#fans) and then tuck it into some ripped high waisted jean shorts! Then just slip on a sweater and you're ready to go! I did not add jewelry on this set but this outfit would look cute with rings.
Sweater requested by @emothemonster
 
♥ SECOND OUTFIT ♥
This outfit is laid back and comfortable but also super cute! So first you'll need a light colored crop top. Then you need skinny jeans, preferably animal print. You can also add a shoulder bag to make it more chic.
 
♥ THIRD OUTFIT ♥
This is an outfit if you want to wear your dr. martens to a party or just want to see how to dress them up. So to dress them up, you can use a dress, but I recommend a black (or multicolor) bodycon skirt. If you chose a black one, then I would recommend a colorful crop top or a camisole with different colors including the color red. An american or british flag is a nice idea.
 
♥ LAST OUTFIT ♥
My fav! So for this outfit, you don't need to have galaxy leggings, but if you want them, get them from Black Milk: http://www.blackmilkclothing.com/search?q=galaxy+leggings
So if you do have galaxy leggings, try wearing a denim top with the docs and galaxy leggings! If not, I would highly recommend regular leggings or black jeggings! Maybe, just MAYBE, you can pull off yoga pants.
 
Comment if you want me to make an htw on yoga pants! ♥
 
Okay that's it for this one!
Tell me which one is your fav ♥

Hey guys so this was requested by @rissymac and if any of you guys have an outfit request, submit here:
http://www.polyvore.com/need_outfits_for_an_item/advice.show?id=535315
 
btw, i'm totally rushing with these because i have about 15 outfits i have to make so i'm saying sorry in advanced if i make a mistake in my typing.
 
♥ FIRST OUTFIT ♥
 
You can start by wearing your favorite shorts with this white collar pocket blouse. You can wear Vans or Converse with this outfit. Maybe even sandals. Probably not. Lol ok so add a purse if you want and also add some rings!!
 
♥ SECOND OUTFIT ♥
 
This outfit is all about looking chic. You can wear gold earrings, or just any of your favorite earrings. If you don't like earrings... you can wear bangles instead! :) Put on some leopard print or crazy jeans and also wear heels. Heels are not required so you can also wear flats if you want. A shoulder bag is the perfect finishing touch.
 
♥ THIRD OUTFIT ♥
 
This is my favorite! If you're a dancer or girly or just love pretty clothing, this outfit is also perfect for you. So first start off with an off the shoulder sweater over the top. Then slip on a flowy skirt, it can be tucked in or under the sweater and top,...or just under the sweater! Then put on some sandals and you're ready to go! You can also wear a necklace if you'd like :)
@emothemonster requested that sweater
 
♥ LAST OUTFIT ♥
Omg ok I just love all these outfits but this one I would probably wear most. So idk if you guys have one of these, but put on a statement necklace. If you don't have one, well put on some sort of big-ish or long necklace! Then you need floral jeans (or really colorful ones) that stand out and match with the necklace a little bit. Now for the shoes, brown! Wear brown shoes with this outfit.
@fiialoves1d requested these pants
 
That's all! I hope you guys enjoyed!
More coming up soon :)
Comment what your favorite was! 1, 2, 3, or 4?

if you already have a pair of shorts you want to rip, please read what you'll need and then skip to *♥*♥*
 
So If you don't have any shorts ready to rip, but have jeans you would like to cut into shorts and then rip them, keep reading.
 
---WHAT YOU'LL NEED---
Ruler
Pen/Sharpie
Scissors
X-acto knife
Fork
Razor/Sand Paper
Studs
 
o1;; First, you should put the jeans on. Find out what length you want the jeans to be, and then make a mark with a pen or a sharpie.
 
o2;; Take them off, and use the mark you made to draw a line on only one leg for where you will trim it. So that it is even, i would recommend using a ruler..
 
o3;; Once you cut the first leg into shorts, make sure it's the length you want.
 
o4;; Once the first leg is cut off, take the cut side and fold it over the uncut one. This will make sure everything is even and make the second cut easier.
 
*♥*♥*
o6;; Take your fork and start to rake at the end of your jean shorts. You want the white threads to be showing at the bottom. Don't go crazy with it though, because they will distress more in the wash.
 
o7;; This is my favorite part! You can either use an x-acto knife or a razor and just start on a random spot in the middle of the fabric, and once you see some of the thread, you can either use your fork and pull them so they come out more or you can pull them out completely so they are hanging.
 
o8;; Now just take sand paper and make random spots look more raw looking or use sand paper over the parts you cut with the raxor/knife and they will look even more distressed :)
 
o9;; This is completely optional, but if your jean shorts have that little 5th pocket, you can buy studs that stick on and put them all over that pocket in straight lines and it would look great. If you decide to do that, i would recommend gold studs.
 
10;; Lastly, like i said, just put them in the wash and they will then be ready to wear!
 
There you go, ripped shorts in 10 easy steps!

HEY GUYS! This is my first tip in 3 months! (:
I've been requested this ALL the time & I finally had some time so here you go!
 

This is how to keep your bedroom decorated & organized & pretty & just the way you like it (:
 
stepO1♥ : Color Scheme
Keep a color preference for your room! If you don't have any colors in your room yet...pick out 3 basic colors that you think would go nice together...and paint your walls with one of those colors! Then you could get a bed spread that is another one of your favorite colors and some pillows with the other. You could also have little things with the same color as your walls if you wanna be matching (:
 
stepO2♥ : Fill it upp
Put a cabinet or a dresser to put your stuff in if you don't have one already! Or maybe put some shelves on your wall so that you can add pictures or books on them!
 
stepO3♥ : Accessorize
Put accessories in your room! Add some christmas lights that match some colors in your room or put up a mirror to see your gorgeous face everyday! It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, it can just be simple.
 
stepO4♥ : DIY
Add some pictures of you on your friends on a board in your wall! Cut out letters from magazine pages like "SUCCEED", or "DREAM", or "LIVE FOR TODAY", or your name! & make the A's triangles to make it look cuter (:
 
stepO5♥ : Organization
Stay organized! Remember to clean your desk/dresser regularly and every year or so make it a little different & change it up a bit so you don't get tired of it!
 
Sorry I kind of rushed through this tip. Won't happen again.
XOXO
Taking requests in my mailbox

hey girlies!♥
Sorry I haven't been able to make a new tip in a while...I will be making tips on a regular basis for now on!
 
♥Monday - Two Braids
You may think it looks childish, but guys think its superrr cute. Whether its french braids or regular braids, messy or flawless....they will surely look pretty :)
 
♥Tuesday - Double Band Bun
Its basically a messy bun, with a double banded headband on top, with a bump in the middle of the two bands. If you haven't checked out my tip on this yet, you should! DOUBLE BAND BUN: http://www.polyvore.com/tip_13_double_band_bun/set?id=36219273&lid=1054147
 
♥Wednesday - Pin Straight and a twirl
Completely straight hair. Twirl your hair at the very top with the hair closest to your face and twirl it all the way down to the roots and then clip it to your head!
 
♥Thursday - All Natural Girl
Just go natural that day! If your hair is extremely frizzy..add anti-frizz and nothing else. If your hair is completely straight and boring...add a little of mousse and your done.
 
♥Friday - Waterfall Braid
Everyone thinks this is only possible if you get it done at a hair salon..but that is NOT true! It is so easy once you understand... I promise you will get it the first time you try it right after you read my tip :)
WATERFALL BRAID: http://www.polyvore.com/tip_1o_waterfall_braids/set?id=35586916&lid=1054147
 
♥Saturday - Half Updo
Brush all of your hair back so you can't see you don't see a part. Take the top half and put it into a low ponytail. You have an easy and cute half undo!
 
♥Sunday - Scrunched Hair
Scrunching hair is literally so.much.fun.
There are several ways to do this. The first is with an attachment to your blow dryer...but thats not as fun as doing it manually! Buy a spray that is especially good at creating/for/helps wavy hair. Spray it ALL over your hair. Your hair can be in any position..and just start to scrunch it! Scrunch it until it looks curly! Then comb through the ends, add anti-frizz, and do this step again! It would be best if all your hair is backwards with your back leaned and your head facing down.
 
DONE!♥
I love hearing feedback from you guys.
Please PM me some tip requests!
Thank you so much.
Have a Good day or Good night or Good morning!

(: Thanks if you give me an answer!
Oh and on numbaa 3, I would definitely crop the mini van out..
I really want to post this pro pic today but its like midnight already so I would really appreciate fast responses just saying the number and a little comment because I haven't talked to y'all in so long!
Thankssss!♥
 
Ciao.

This actually doesn't have to be for school, it can just be for a fun picture day with friends, if you'd like!
 
------------Getting Ready----------------
 
O1;; Makeup
-Don't be fake, just put as much makeup on as you normally do, but just work a little harder on it!
-Blush and Mascara are always the top 2 most important makeup essentials for a great photo if you wear makeup in the photo.
-Not too much eyeliner! It looks bad in pictures; school pictures, especially!
 
O2;; HAIR
Any way you want it!
If you think it looks better straight/curled, do that!
If you think your hair takes too long to straighten, then just braid it or wear a side ponytail exaggerating your curls/waves! If you think your hair is too straight, blow dry it with a little volume and a little bit of a wave at the very bottom.
 
--------------Appearance----------------
 
O1;; BODY
-Your body isn't very important in a portrait picture, but it does in a full/half-length. Always stand up tall and feel confident! Don't slouch. If you sitting in a chair and wearing a skirt/dress, cross your legs or put them together! Try not to have your hands in an awkward position! Be yourself!
 
O2;; SMILE!
The smile is the most important part! Feel proud of your smile and who you are! All you have to do, is think of something cute or funny, and just laugh out loud! The picture will turn out extra-natural!
 
Well thats all!
I hoped you liked this short little tip!
Ciao♥
