Couture : The Process

I love draping! Pattern making isn't my favorite thing to do...but draping I love! This is one, about 5 yards, piece of fabric (other then the shoulder pieces which are two pieces of fabric). I love creating nothing into something! For school we have to make a 1920's couture dress and this is something like I sketched that I wanted to do. It flows more on the bottom but because I didn't have enough fabric and it's the wrong length of fabric I had to work with what I had. The dress is probably going to be white with white lace covering it. I'm going to add beads and rhinestones to it as well to add some sparkle, of course! I can't wait to make it and see how it looks in the end! It's going to take a while to do but it will be work it in the end. I will keep you in touch with my couture adventures and more! But first here are the draping pictures and my illustrations at the end of this post. 

Tell me what you think in the comments!

The middle dress is the one I'm going to make! 

Life in Black and White.

Well, it's about that time again...that time that everyone dreads but for me now LOVE. It's BACK TO SCHOOl TIME!!! Wether you like it or not you need to go. Me? I am now a sophomore in college. Let me tell everyone that's in high school or lower...it gets better! Wayyyy better!
          There's a reoccurring color theme in my life...Black and White. Funny because I am half black and half white. I don't know why I have so much black and white in my wardrobe but I love it! Simply but edgy! Just what I like. I went into the city and to the mall today and I decided to show you what I got!

Dress - Cheetah Shirt - Black and White Shirt - Forever 21

Fringe - LF stores

Cuff - No Rest For Bridget 

Rings - Anchor and Knotted - Forever 21

Lots of Love,

SJP : Monogramed Necklace

Hey everyone! Finally! My monogramed necklace has arrived! I've been dying to get one of these for about a year now and since I've been thinking about it for this long I said why not get it! The first person who introduced me to the monogramed necklace was SarahBelle93x on YouTube. I love her style so much! It's amazing you guys have to look her up. I guess you can say her signature piece is her monogramed necklace. She wears it all the time with her outfits and it always looks so classy. So I looked on Etsy.com and found a decently priced monogramed necklace HERE. I knew I was willing to pay at least $50 for mine and I found one for $35! I couldn't resist! (Shopaholic problems I know!....it doesn't help that I'm in college now and practically broke either..) 

I received the necklace today and bought it on the 11th of November. The website said it would take 10-12 days which they stood by. I got the 16 inch chain and my initials. I'm even thinking about getting one that says gMf for Girl Meets Fashion :) how cute would that be! I also want to get a name necklace that would say @elizzabethhope which is my twitter! Follow Me! 

Ok! Well I just wanted to make a quick blog post about this! Do you like monogramed necklaces?! Tell me in the comments below! Until Next Time!

ps - SJP = Shoes, Jewelry, Purses

The Plan + Pick What New Color Hair I Should Get!!

Hey Dolls!
      Long time no talk I know!!! So bad! But I'm back! I've come up with a plan that I will hopefully stick to for the remainder of the school year. Just categories to talk about and what not. I know I can't blog everyday but I want to try as much as I can! So bare with me lovelies!

Girl Talk - Girl Talk is going to be me talking about everything girly related! For example; makeup, hair, face products, nail polish! Anything like that! I will be having a lot of nail of the days as well! I paint my nails at least once a week here! I also want to review a ton of new products I've tried out!

Let's Talk Fashion - If you have just started following my blog LTF is all about trends that are going around in the fashion world! I've only done one post but it's a start!

Style My World - Here I'll be talking about traveling, well places I dream to travel to. I'll include pictures of the places, fashion from there! Maybe even include a few bloggers/celebrities from the places I want to travel to.

SJP - Don't be confused by SJP it's not Sarah Jessica Parker! This section is called Shoes, Jewelry, Purses! Pretty self explanatory I think!

Look of the Day - LOTD will be my outfit of the day! I don't get to take pictures of my outfits alot when I'm here at college but my roommate does like to take pictures so I'm going to have her help me out!

The Look - This section will be of blogger and/or celebrities with outfits I love! I think I may change the name of this one but I'll have to wait and see! :)

With every post I will include bits and pieces of my life! You know I love to tell stories!
College is going so good! I've been keeping busy though! I've met so many awesome people here! Go CRC!!! Common Room Club! haha! Can you believe we became friends because we all studied in the common room on our floor and we all just clicked!! I think I may need to thank Taylor Swift for that one haha! Love it! They are great! haha!
OK, well I'm headed off to bed! I'm not promising that I'll have a post up everyday because odds on it I wont! But I'm going to blog as much as I can! So keep in touch! Follow me on tumblr and twitter and bloglovin and Pintrest bc I pin everyday; to know when I post! Links are at the top of the page!!
Love ya dolls!!!

PS!!! I want to dye my hair again! But have no clue what color to do it! I found 2 pictures of Olivia Palermo who'd hair I love! I think I might want to do this but you have to let me know! So PLEASE comment on what color hair I should try out!!! 1. Dark brown? Possibly even darker then the picture shown. or 2. Light brown again? But a little more lighter? 

Decisions...decisions...

                

Me with Dark hair! kind of a bad picture I'm sorry!   Me with light hair! Please note it was summer I'm      
                                                                                   pretty sure when I got this done so my skin is

Let's Talk Fashion : Oversized Sweaters & Scarves!

Who's excited for fall fashions?! *raises hand in excitement!* Me!! I'm so sick of this hot hot weather, wearing ugly gym shorts and a tank top because it's wayyyy too hot to wear anything else!! So since fall is "coming".... I'm excited to finally going back-to-school shopping. I'm especially excited to wear oversized sweaters and scarves again! I've been pinning like a crazy woman on Pinterest of just about every oversized sweater with scarf pictures I can find! (Ps- that's my new uhbsession, Pinterest! Follow me HERE!)

(All pictures I found on Pinterest. Link source is HERE!)

Every time (Well not every time) but most of the time when I see Lauren Conrad in this outfit she looks effortlessly amazing! This is an outfit I'm dying to try out for the fall season! There's nothing better than wearing comfortable clothes for the fall season! So oversized sweaters and shirts are a must have for your wardrobe! 

________________________________________________________________

-------Tips For Wearing Oversized Sweaters!-------

1. Wear cropped pants to balance the bulkiness of the sweater!

2. Don't wear sweaters that are too bulky! Unless you want to look like Frosty The Snowman...

3. Try adding a collared shirt under your sweater for the "Preppy...Look at my I'm a college student" type of look! haha!

-------Tips For Finding The Right Scarfs!-------

1. If your scarf isn't knit than make sure it's wide so when you wrap it around your neck so it will look thicker.

2. Make sure that your scarf isn't thin and narrow! It's not going to wrap well or look like the look we are looking for. 

3. Infinity scarves work best for the look we are trying to achieve! 

________________________________________________________________

Hope you got some awesome tips for this fall look!!! If you wear this don't forget to tweet me a pictures! @ElizzabethHope! If and when I get enough pictures I will do a future post of how people style it!

Hey Everyone! First off sorry for not updating as much! I'm been crazy busy with finishing up school (12 days in counting!), tennis matches, and trying to get everything ready for my T-Shirt brand! Lo Down Apparel! Check out the website here! www.lodownapparel.blogspot.com 

Yesterday (the 8th) was my 18th birthday!!! Can you believe it I'm 18 years old! It's so weird saying that!!! I didn't get much for my birthday, senior living is hard work I guess...so I asked for gift cards to Nordstrom so I could get the Ray Ban sunglasses!!! Miley Cyrus herself has the same pair! I don't know if they are in the same color but I do know she has round Ray Bans! I love them! Can you say summer sunglasses!!! Then I went to Ulta and got this Zoya nail polish to try out! Eva Chen beauty editor of Teen Vogue RAVES about these!!! I've been looking all over for them and finally found some! Can't wait to try it out!!!
