You can finally start wearing your new Abercrombie jeans and your Uggs. You can start wearing your sweaters, scarves, boots, cardigans, and so much more. Picture this: You in a black trench coat, wearing your favorite skinny jeans and high-heeled boots, while carrying your Vera Bradley bag and Starbucks coffee or frappicino.

What the Disney Princess Would Wear Today

Disney princesses are a classic memory from just about any girl's childhood. Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora... Just a few of the names of the cartoons we used to admire. But what would they wear if they were real today? Here are what they're styles would be like and what they might wear daily. Don't worry, it looks nothing like a poofy ball gown or a fishtail.

"Ivory Mesh Flower Headband"

1. Cindella's ruffled blue dress resembles a peplum skirt or top. The white fabric underneath could go as a pencil skirt, and add a flower or plain headband. And don't forget about the famous glass slippers! Which now are "glass" heels.

2. Ariel's bubbly personailty and style includes lots of brights. For her seashell bra, a purple bandeau is put in place, also combined with a tank top over it. Instead of her teal tail, there's teal jeans. And she seems to be on the beach a lot so of course flip flops.                                                                                            .

3. Pocahontas has a laid back look with includes lots of fringe, beige, and a pop of color in the jewelry. I picked a nude colored high-low dress, a blue pedant, and fringed boots for the beautiful Native American Disney princess.

5 Amazing Lip Softening Products

Winter is right around the corner-which means dry skin, dry lips, dry everything. Even if you live in a place that doesn't really have winter, your lips probably still get pretty chapped. My lips would be so chapped, they would bleed- ugh. And then there is the urge to pick at your lips and to peel off the dry skin. But luckily many brands make lots of lip softening products and here are my top five.
My image. 

"Baby Lips"
by Maybelline $3.99
Avaiable at maybelline.com and drugstores
1.  Maybelline's Baby Lips tops off my list. It's a very recent purchase and my lips are already baby smooth. This product is a lifesaver to my lips- I don't know what I would do without it. This is definetly a must! And it's so easy to keep in your purse!






 "Smooth Sphere Lip Balm"
by EOS $2.99-$4.29
Availble at evoltionofsmooth.com and drugstores.
My image.
2. EOS Smooth Sphere Lip Balm is not only cute, but also works quite well. It's unique egg shaped form trended a lot, especially this year. Even celeberitites have become obessessed with the magiacal little ball that makes your lips a wonder.

4. C.O. Bigelow's Lavender Salve is amazing. If it's lip treatment isn't wonderous enough, it aslo heals cuts beyond well. It's a purple vaseline-type and is practically magic. Smells awesome too! This healed my lips/cuts in no time. It's a must.

My Daily Makeup Tutorial

My daily makeup is very easy to do and is very simple and complements your features. Here's how to do:

1. Powder your face lightly, make sure it doesn't look to cakey.

2. Curl your eyelshes.

3. Apply a few coats of mascra.

4.Add the same color eyeshadow of your eyes. (ex:// green eyes, green eyeshadow.) This brings out the color of your eyes.

5. Dust your cheeks with a little bronzer. This will make you look a little tanner without looking fake.

6. If not bronzer, use a pink blush to make rosy cheeks.
