Style of the Day: Alterna-Pinup

50's hair, Alterna-Pinup, Style of the Day, Updo

I like old fashioned things like old movies and retro style inspirations. The 1950’s housewife updo with a bandana is a cute look that everyone should try. Even if it’s a modern twist on the look, it’s still fun to do and pretend to be Rosie the Riveter (Yay, equal rights!)

Shirt from Victoria’s Secret, bandana probably from Hot Topic. Urban Decay Electric eye shadow.

Just threw my hair up into a messy bun, tied on the bandana, and then curled my bangs under with a flat iron. Voila.

I’ve been really busy lately so I haven’t posted as much so I will just put more into this post to make up for it. Basically all you need to know is that my hair just keeps getting bigger and I’ve been very occupied doing other peoples’ hair lately! I’m really involved in my hair career and that’s how I like it. It’s a lot of fun!!

This month is flying by. I’m stocked for Halloween. I’m still not sure what I want to dress up as. Any ideas? I like scary stuff but usually end up being something that looks more cute than creepy. I know that I want to go see a horror movie that night though!

I tried out some waters that a friend from the skincare program at school sells. They have different fruits put in them and each have different health benefits. I really liked the one that has watermelon, kiwi, and pineapple in it because it was of course, super sweet! They seem more filling than just plain water and if you don’t like water, this is a good way to work it into your diet and start drinking it!

Happy national Straightedge day! To be edge, one refrains from alcohol, smoking, and other recreational drugs. I chose to be Straightedge in 7th grade when I started listening to screamo music and fell in love with the whole scene. Straightedge is like a belief system to me. I try to have good morals and I’ve just never found drugs or anything that alters the mind to be appealing.

What do you live by?

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Elle, Kohl's, Purse of the Day

My nana got me a present the other week for all my hard work at beauty school. I thought it was very sweet that she was thinking of me. I opened the gift bag and this cute blue tote was inside! It’s an Elle magazine bag that was made for Breast Cancer Awareness month at Kohl’s. It’s my favorite purse now because I love the girl on it. I think it’s super cute.

I love crop tops but the weather is about to get too chilly for them. I am going to miss my skimpy outfits this fall. I really dig this outfit, that is one of my newest shirts! I wore this the other weekend to a cute little crepe restaurant downtown. The top is from Forever 21, skirt is Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, shoes are Forever 21 too.

Over the weekend I was busy with a hair show at school, I got to be a model for my good friends. My buddy Michaelle did my hair, I loved it because the updo reminded me of the I Love Lucy show. My friend Catalina did my makeup, she’s very good at that! The theme was 50’s prom and it was super fun getting ready for it! I got to wear my faux fur wrap, a tiara, and a pretty coral Jessica McClintock prom dress with ruffles and a corset back.
