Three Wishes

If you woke up one day and there was a gold lamp on your night table, what would you do.  Would you open it or would you let it be.  So today I was going through my notebook of blog posts ideas and found this one and thought it was a little interesting.  If you had only three wishes what would the be. Well here are mine
1. To Be Able to Teleport

Think about it within seconds you could be anywhere you wanted.  At the Taylor swift concert back stage or hypothetically if your walking home in New York City at 3am on a Saturday and a sketchy person was following you.
2. To Never Have to Get Ready

Think about it how sweet would it be to able to look amazing at the snap of your fingers and not ever have to buy any clothing.  You would be able to sleep in until the second you had to leave and go to work or school.
3.  To Not Have To Worry About School

I'm sorry but I'm stressed the fuck out about school when it comes to the end of the semester and well the first day of classes.  How nice would it be to take in all the information and not forget it and always get an A.

Happy St. Patty's Day: How to Dress in Green

I was in class today and I was really surprised by how many people where wearing green.  I remember in elementary school how it was a giant problem if some part of your outfit was not green. he hard thing is green is not really a popular color in fashion and sometimes can be a little overwhelming to an outfit.  Here are some ideas to wear green and look cute on St. Patricks day.
Green Colored Shirts

I'm really starting to like collared shirts after my last post.  You can wear a statement necklace under to color or wear a long sleeve dress over your shirt.  
 Olive Skirt
There are hundreds of different shades of green that I don't think people take advantage of.  St. Patty's day is still in winter and this color is perfect when you are still in your winter dark colors and will compliment your winter coat.  
 Green Pant
 Yes I said green pants it was not a typo.  Colored pants personally I do not think I pull them off well but everyone else I've seen wear them they look great.  To not make the color become too overwhelming wear some tall boots that are a neutral color.
A Blazer
This is great for someone who is working in a professional environment where wearing that odd only green shirt in your closet would not be appropriate.  Try going to tj max and find a jacket this color.

New Artist Alert: Who is Fancy

My music lately has been seem to under some kind of spell and before about 20 minutes ago that spell wasn't a good one.  My Spotify would randomly skip and earlier today it would play the song but no music came on.  But when I opened it tonight it started to play this song called "Goodbye" by a band called Who is Fancy.

I can not stop playing this song and I wanted to come up with a little story on them.  My only problem was I couldn't find much on the artist or really even a picture of the artist except from ones from their music video, which I wouldn't advise watching.  Yes I know it's the first one but I think a better idea would of been the artist seeing his ex in their everyday life and not being able to say goodbye.  I think that would of shown the pain of a breakup and not having your first love in your life anymore.

The only thing I could find about the artist was that they where signed by the same people as Justin Bieber and Carley Ray Jepson.  Which would explain the Bieber style to his music video but I don't want to talk about how much a let down the video was.  Who is fancy is a great band and I can see them being very successful because their music is very good and is more Sam Smith then pop Justin Bieber.

7 Ways to Not be Annoying on Instagram

This post has been a long time coming and I have finally been in the ranty mood to write it.  There are so many posts on the Internet about how to attract new follows but not many on how to keep those follows and not having your posts things that people say "Oh another picture of your cat" so here are a couple of things that annoy me and maybe try to avoid on social media.
1. We Get it Food is Great

Unless you have a food blog or are making some stake you have been marinating for days I really do not care that it is taco Tuesday.  Keep the food posts to a minimum and save it for the chocolate cake with melted fudge on it.
2. Oh it's your Birthday?

If you look at my Facebook or any social media accounts, I like to keep things private.  Yes you can have a holiday without taking photos of you getting ready, opening the overly expensive gift your parents got you, and the classic red solo cup.
3. #ootd

First I would like to say this means outfit of the day not 3 pics a day.  I love fashion and dressing up, I'm not saying toss #ootd completely out but every day is a little ridiculous especially when you're wearing Pj's (Some people I just really don't understand). Side bar on this one you can not make workout progress every day at least spread them out by a week.
4. Hashtag No Filler

We all use filters on every pictures especially selfies so just drop this one please.
5. MAN CRUSH MONDAY

Unless it is a shirtless picture of Theo James I really do not care.  Then there are the people that feel the need to make it their boyfriend EVERY week.  We get it after the first two posts, you're getting laid good for you but I will unfollow you even if I've known you sense I was five #sorrynotsorry.
6. More posts then there are hours of the day

No ones life is so interesting that we need an up to date hour by hour Instagram update from you.  Unless you are an adorable french bulldog I do not need an update of your life.
7. No SELFIES

Unless you just got your braces off NO.

10 Tv Shows and Movies that Should be on Netflix

Netflix lately seems to be adding more popular shows and movies like friends and the oscar winning movie Twilight haha.  Ok on a more serious note I don't understand why Netlfix either took some of these shows off Netflix or has never had them streaming.  Because honestly who still gets DVDs mailed to their house anymore? (way to much effort to walk to the mailbox)
1. Veronica Mars
When I first got Netflix in 7th grade you could watch Veronica Mars then they later took it off. Why Netflix why?  Veronica Mars is about a girl in high school who later enters college and she works as a private eye.  What a 17 year old badass.  

2. Ugly Betty
I still remember when Ugly Betty was on air Wednesday's at 8 and Wednesday's just were not the same after it went off the air.  But why hasn't Netflix but it on yet? Desperate housewives and most of ABC's shows are on.  

3.Stick it
2006 was a great year for teen girl power movies like stick it and She's the man but almost 10 years after they came out none are on Netflix.  
4. What I Like About You
To be completely honest I cried when this show got cancelled.  It was great hilarious and I missed seeing Nick Zano every Friday night.  This show stars Amanda Bynes who as a teen has to move in with her sister in New York City.  

5. Make it Or Break It
The only show on ABC Family that ended too soon.  Seriously how are there still Pretty Little Liars episodes and why are they still in high school?  This show is all about friendship and people in a competitive world at a young age.

6. Zoey 101
Possibly one of the best shows on Nickelodeon starring Jamie Lynne Spears.  Ever see anyone wearing their key around there neck? Well if you do they probably got it from this show.

7. Lizzie MaGuire
I don't think there is a girl my age who this wasn't there favorite show when they where 7.  Not having disney channel as a kid I only got to see episodes on Saturday morning and if this comes on netflix everyone will be happy. 

8. The Big Bang Theory
So I'm a little of a nerd and this show is possibly my favorite comedy especially the old episodes when Lennard was obsessed with Penny.  Question is Sheldon ever going to loose it?

9. 10 Things I Hate About You
I'm pretty sure this use to be on Netflix then it got turned into a really bad tv show.  I'm sorry but Julia Stiles and Health Ledger just can never be replaced.  

10. The Mindy Project
Mindy is on Canadian Netflix but not American.  Where else am I suppose to get my fashion advice about how to wear prints on prints?  Also do you think Mindy's friend will come back now that she is going to have a kid of her own.

#OOTD Ideas

This morning when I got up I changed my outfit three time.  Yes three times, way to many clean clothing was on my floor this week and it gave me an idea.  I've never been one for planning out outfits unless I was going to an event.  Here are some outfits to give you ideas about what to wear next week so you can see your floor and not the shirt that shrunk in the dryer.   
Sherpa Moto Jackets
I have a jacket like this except its all black but I forgot it at home when I left for spring break :(.  These jackets are perfect for spring days when it's a little too warm to wear your winter jacket but you can't just walk out in a flannel.  
 Who says you have to wait till Memorial day to wear white?
I love this outfit and especially the skirt.  This skirt has volume but it is not over whelming and looks like it is too fancy to wear to school or work.  Also this outfit has ankle boots which if I could spend all my money on a type of shoe is would be these boots.  They are casual and really cute. 
Button Downs and Jeans
Wearing a button down is a great way to look a little more dressed without having to put a lot of time into it.  Like when you wear a dress you have to accessorize it but a button down it is not necessary.  
 Jean Jacket and Stripes
Sometimes patterns can be very overwhelming for outfits.  Cheetah and other animal prints are very hard to add into an outfit without making it too much and distract from the outfit.  Stripes are great because they're only two colors and usually one is white and they add to your outfit without overwhelming it.  
 Cable Knit Sweaters
Sweater weather is not over yet! Knit sweaters are perfect for those spring days that are a little colder then the others.  They are also great because you can wear them just with jeans and they look great.  
Pastels 
For some reason my closet has been more darker colors but spring is time to change that!  I can not wait to wear shorts and a t-shirt after this winter.  If you are in a warmer climate rock those colorful shorts.  
 Dresses
Dress and skirt season is almost here but sometimes you can pull out those dresses earlier.  I want you guys to be warm so I don't mean pull out a sleeveless summer dress.  Wear a long sleeve dress and wear a collared shirt under it.  Also you can wear boots or knee thighs to keep yourself a little warmer.

Heartbreak Hotel

I'm not one to quote the Fault in Our Stars but there is one line that is very true.  “You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you."  When you let someone in it is your decision someone can't force you to care.  When you let someone in and you fall in love with them they have the power to destroy you
In my life not many people have been able to have this effect on me.  Life sucks sometimes and its up to you to move past it and learn from it.  Then comes the hardest part forgetting about everything.  Forget about being happy because someone who you loved betrayed you worse then anyone has ever before.  If you let someone get close to you you can't control if they hurt you or not.  Here are some breakup tips to follow.
1. Block or unfriend him on Facebook
Let's admit we all do it after a breakup.  We post photos of how much fun we are having so they don't think we where even bothered by the break up but you are also seeing what he is posting.  You do not need to see any of your ex's photos with a title like "Tom's Bar crawl" it's just going to end up hurting you more.  
2. If you feel the need to drink, call some friends
Nothing is sadder then being alone, sad and drunk watching the titanic or the notebook.  Call some friends over to your house make dinner and have a girls night.  You are heartbroken and everyone has been there before but don't be sad alone.
3.  If you want to drunk text, have your friend take your phone or throw it in the Ocean
Today technology is always around us and telling someone exactly how you feel takes a second.  Have your friend take your phone to get your mind off everything.
4.  Write a letter and never send it
There are always things that you wish you could say to someone after a breakup that you couldn't think of telling him.  Get it all out on paper write down everything that you would want to tell him and don't leave out any bad words because he is never going to see it.  
5. Spend Time outside
Take your dog for a walk, start running, getting exercise and some fresh air are great ways to clear your mind.  Life can be hard and staying cooped up inside all day is not a way to solve it.  For your lunch break take a walk and find a park bench and eat your lunch.
