After six months you have gotten use to each other.  You know what he likes and doesn't like an have little jokes just between the two of you.  This is a perfect time to give him a quirky dorky gift that he will love.  You can make him a coupon book or write him a personal card.  If he has any hobbies like golfing or football you can pay for a couple tee times or make him some nice halftime football food.

A-Z Of Fashion Trends Of 2015

ANkLE BOOTS

Ankle boots are great because they are a easy way to add height that isn't overwhelming like wearing ski high heels

 BLACK 

Not only is black eye catching it also is slimming.  Black coats especially because coats tend to be big and bulky but trying a black shade is a good way to look slim in that winter bulky coat.

CORAL

Sometimes when adding a neon or pastel accessory to an outfit it can take away from the outfit itself.  Coral is a way to add a bold color with still complimenting an outfit without taking it over.  

DIY

From adding some bling to your jean shirt to painting a bookcase for your dorm room express your Artsy side.  

ESSENTIALS

These are the little things you stick in your pocket or the small zippered place in your purse.  There when you need a quick fix to help you get through the day.  

FLANNEL

Flannels are a great way to keep warm in the winter.  They are a great layer to wear under a winter jacket.  They are also a great and comfy shirt to sleep in.  

GREY STRIPES

Black and white stripes can be a little overwhelming and give an unflattering look.  Grey is a great way to get the stripped look with out the overpowering black and white prison stripes.  

HATS

Hats are a great way to add a little more fashion to an outfit.  They are also extremely warm and great when its a cold windy day.  

INGRID NILSEN

A great youtuber if you are in need of some tutorials.  She does hair, makeup, and a little diy.  The tutorials are easy to follow and very helpful.  

JEANS

A very underrated piece of everyones wardrobe.  It seem like leggings have over took jeans in many peoples outfits.   Jeans are great to wear with short boots.  

KERRY WASHINGTON

Not only does Olivia Pope have great fashion but also does Kerry.  Every event she goes to she is perfectly dress for where she is going.  Also Kerry knows how to use colors that compliment her.

LEATHER

Oh leather how I wish I could afford you and that you didn't come from an animal.  Leather is a classic piece to your wardrobe.  The same leather jacket you wore today can be worn 20 years from now.  

MERMAID BRAID

Braids are classic they are also another way to keep your healthy.  When you style your hair or even put it up in a pony tail it can damage your hair.  Keeping it in a braid keeps your hair together helps prevent split ends.

NAIL ART

Today there are many ways to fake nail art.  There are stickers and nail pens that make it easy to write and draw on your nails.  

OPAL

Opal rings are becoming very popular they sometimes are also very inexpensive. 

PURPLE HAIR

This color is my favorite drastic color to change your hair because it doesn't look extremely crazy like having green hair.  

QUIET OVER LOUD

Sometimes going over the top with an outfit is not the best thing you can do.  With fashion less is always more.  Looking effortless is better then looking like you spent hours getting ready it also does not take hours to get ready.  

RED LIPS

Red lips will always be a way to class up any outfit.  It is also great for when you are going out and want to draw attention to your face.  

SNEAKERS

Sneakers are a great way to give your feel a break from heels and relax for a day.

TATTOOS

They cause a lot of pain but they are the only thing that will last forever.  Even earring holes have the possibility to close up.

UV PROTECTION

The best thing to put on your skin before you go outside.  No one wants to look like a raisin when the are 60 or have wrinkles before anyone else.  

VINTAGE

Head to your local thrift store this year when sweater weather happens.  You might luck out and find some great deals.  

WHITE BEADS

White beading on a black or dark purse can add a earthy vibe to your outfit.  

XTRAORDINARY STYLE

No you don't have to dress like a high fashion super model but having confidence in your style can make it extraordinary.

YELLOW

Yellow use to be a color to avoid and only your fashion illiterate sub in your math class would wear.  But yellow is making a comeback.

ZEBRA

In your closet avoid Zebra but in your house a little zebra chair adds a little uniqueness to your living space.  

My Bucket List

It's been a while sense I've made a post that was about myself.  I've always found this bucket list posts interesting because everyone has something different on theirs that shows a little about themselves and what is important to them. The show Friends gave me the idea to complete my before 30 bucket list.  Here we go!

The Pros and Cons of The Kardashians

Anyone who knows me knows that I like to rant on how much I think the Kardashians are completely pointless.  They cry over loosing their 70,000 dollar earrings on a lavish vacation when there are people that don't even make a third of that a year and can never even think of sending their family on a vacation.

Pros

They Are a Family Unit
With Everything that goes on in their supposedly dramatic life they always stick together

Cons

They Throw Money Around like it's Nothing
-Kim’s wedding with Kris Humphries cost her $138,888 per day of their marriage. Totaling $9,999,936,  enough money that most people don't make in 20 lifetimes

Should they Really be able to complain about the paparazzi following them around?
- Back in the day when Kim was dating Nick Lachey she would inform the paparazzi of their whereabouts
They are paid 25,000 to tweet to promote products thats $178.57 per character.

After thinking I could only come up with one positive thing about this family and show.  This brings up the question should we stop Keeping up with The Kardashians?  After watching a couple of episode I think 2015 is time everyone let the Kardashians go.  These people seem to have never worked an honest day in their life doing a job that isn't putting on makeup and looking flawless.  What do they offer the world?  I think all us americans would be happy with being about to walk though a grocery store without seeing Kim's face on every magazine cover.
