Labels: , - Friday, June 18, 2010

First of all, I apologize for posting too little, and lazily. I'm so sorry guys :(

I'm just not into the mood & passion I used to have before deciding to post this thingy.
So now, let's move to make-up, hair and last minute preps.


~Make-Up~

1. Day
- watch this video by Michelle Phan, you can also find another great make-up tutorial by her.
- stick to bright, young look
- eyes : bright, open-up, and natural (yellow, brown, or nude)
- lips : lipgloss is my favorite, but you can wear natural pink, nude color is hot right now
- cheeks : if you're fair skinned, go pink or peach. if you're medium, wear brick red or peach. if you're dark skinned, wear brick red or orange.
- nails : yellow, sky blue, pistachio green, hot pink, or red

2. Night
- watch New Years Glam by Michelle Phan on Youtube
- i love long & thick eyelashes
- eyes : sparkly, bold, and dazzling (blue, purple, silver, gold, and smokey eyes)
- lips : red, hot pink, and glittery lips!
- cheeks : like the day thingy, but bronzer will complement your look
- nails : you can wear the day color, silver, gold, blue, maroon, and other gleamy colors. i suggest you to wear a glittery one.


~Hair~

1. Day
- it's better to put your hair down.
- straight or curly, it's up to you
- i love headbands, make sure you use an unique one, with rhinestones or fashionable ornaments (not that "little girl" thing)
- matte hair is hot right now
- mind the side-swept bang that's on right now

2. Night
- updos or downdos, it's up to you
- curled hair is preferred
- if you want to wear headbands, wear a gleamy one like headband with rhinestones
- add shine to your hair
- salon do is always an option, if you're not sure about doing everything yourself


~Last Minute Preps~
  1. Bring lipbalm, lipgloss, and face powder for touch-up
  2. Carry safety pin in case there's something "accidentally" happens to your wardrobes
  3. Bring your brush and hair clips in case your hair mess up with you
  4. Bring tissue or handkerchief
  5. Carry a small bottle of perfume and mint candy/bubblegum
  6. Make sure you have another piece of outfits if your number one outfit suddenly doesn't fit you anymore.
  7. Talk with your close friends so you'll feel more relaxed
  8. Smile! Have confidence and just pray for the best

Kay, that's the last post. I apologize again for the lame posts. I hope this info will be helpful to you. Wish you all a great graduation!

XOXO,

Graduation 2010 - Day 4 - The Shirts & Pants

Labels: , , - Saturday, June 12, 2010

Kay boys, you know we love you. So don't dissapoint us with your accidentally trashy look. This post is made specially for boys, who need help about what to wear. Keep reading and impress us!


For most boys, fashion isn't a big thing. They're going out with anything they feel comfortable. But sometimes girls could be crazy to see a guy with cool style just like Vogue Hommes' models. Graduation is a huge event where you'll say the last goodbye to your school friends. You'll going to be separated from each other. And it means it's the last time to ask the girl you like. Don't miss the chance and look stylish in front of her!

~SHIRTS~

1. The Daytime
- wear shirts from cotton or other lightweight materials.
- rock out the style! look forward to hellogoodbye, ok go, or greenday
- if you wear bright colored shirt, pair it with tie with another complement color. (e.g. yellow shirt with red tie, light blue with purple, etc.)
- roll the sleeves! i like guys w
- I prefer guys with skinny tie.
- want patterns? striped or tartan only.
- graphical (not overly patterned) shirts are welcome
- you can replace tie with shawl, if it's acceptable.





























































2. The Night Events
- want something more? try satin, even though i don't really like guys in satin.
- loose the shirts button a bit, it'll look sexy.
- pair up with a metal-strap watch
- roll the sleeves or not, it's up to you
- wear belts, belts with metal buckle are preferred
- satin tie is preferred, no patterns please.


































~PANTS~

1. The Daytime
- wear lightweight materials, but wool is welcome
- just like the tie, wear the complement color of the shirt. like if you wear yellow shirt, wear red pants, etc.
- bc this is a formal event, try not to wear tight pants.
- always remember, black and white goes with everything!
- make sure your pants got pocket on it, you're going to need it.

2. The Night Events
- glossy materials are welcome, but i prefer a guy in a matte pants
- dark colored pants are the best for evening
- pocket pants, again!
- black belts are preferred

I hope this info will be helpful for you. Have a great graduation! woot woot

XOXO,
Astrid ♥

Graduation 2010 - Day 3 - The Dress - Day 2 Skipped :(

Labels: , , , -

Kay guys, I'm sooo sorry for not posting anything yesterday. I was too lazy to post anything, besides those interesting pics that bother me. So now, here we go!


Today I'm gonna talk about the wardrobes. Wardrobes hold an important role about how you will look at the graduation. I confine the info to only dress, shirts, boys pants, and accessories. This post is only about the dresses. If you want more, just comment ok?

~DRESS~

This is you graduation, the day you wanna be shine and glam out, so leave all those gloomy clothes. Wear bright stuffs for a sunshine-like looks. The type of the dress you'll wear depends on the time the ceremonial will be hold. If it's on daytime, wear mini dress or sun dress. You can also wear maxi dress, but stick to the summer look. If it's in the evening, you'll probably wear a cocktail or formal dress.

1. The Daytime
- wear mini dress, sun dress, or summer maxi dress.
- stick to bright colors like yellow, orange, green, or blue.
- if you're into trend, wear nude color or tie dye prints.
- i love flower patterns.
- use tons of bangles and bracelets.






























































2. The Evening Party
- Glam up! make sure your dress are filled with shiny embellishments!
- bring clutch that matches your look.
- chandelier & other big sparkly earrings will complement your look.
- you can use more colors to the evening party, like electric blue, red, even gold. but remember, use bright colors :)
- I don't recommend tie dye and big prints for evening, stick out to solid color or vague prints.


























































I hope this information will be helpful to you. Have a great graduation!

XOXO,
Astrid ♥

Graduation 2010 - Day 1

Labels: , , - Thursday, June 10, 2010

Well, those pretty fashion stuffs won't look good on you if you don't look good.

First of all, you need to maximize your features first. You need to know your body character so you know what to do for the graduation preparation.

The Basics :
1. Sleep well, you skin will thank you for a good night sleep. Provide at least 8 hours/day for a nice graduation dream ;)
2. Eat right. You may do a little weight-loss diet. For breakfast, you can choose whole-wheat bread, a salad for lunch appetizer, and don't eat after 07.00 PM. Eat small portion for 6 times per day.
3. Exercise! My best recommendation : marathon running and swimming. If you're not an outdoor-lover like me, you can do some squats and dance routine.
4. No squabbling with friends, if you want a happy, peaceful grad night.
(well, I break this rule -__-)
5. Pamper you skin, it's not a guilt to have a day in spa. Scrub off those dirts, use that softening cream.
6. Come over to your bff's house, so you can do a chit-chat and talking over about the graduation. This will help you two to know what's good for each other.

~Skin Types~

1. Normal skin
- exfoliate for 2 times a week and a day before the day.
- always wear your moisturizer, this will help you to achieve the baby-butt soft skin.
- use face mask, learn how to make it here

2. Dry skin
- you may exfoliate, but don't forget to put tons of moisturizer after
- moisturizer is a must
- use face mask, learn how to make it here

3. Oily skin
- exfoliate for 2 times a week and a day before the day
- wear oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer, unless you have acnes.
- use face mask, learn how to make it here

4. Sensitive skin
- exfoliate ONLY with scrub with soft grains, and don't do it too often
- wear moisturizer that's specified for sensitive skin
- use face mask, learn how to make it here

~Exercises~

1. Swimming --> do a lap, or just flowing around. use freestyle stroke for a better result.
2. Running --> do a marathon for a mile everyday. if it's too hard, just bring your pet for a walk.
3. Squats --> maximize the purpose by adding some weights
4. If you have stairs, just climb up and down for 20 times
5. Sit ups for amazing abs!
6. Push ups for gorgeous arms, abs, and calves. especially for guys!
