FASHION HELP


One of the questions The Fashion Bible recieved was, how do you stay warm and look cute for a bar mitzvah in the cold weather of Indiana?


You can definitely stay warm & be fashionable at the same time. Layer funky leggings under your dress, wear a cool scarf or hat, and wear a fashionable coat. All of these items can be found in The Fashion Bible. You can take off your coat when you get there, but the leggings will be a great accessory to your outfit! =D

Hope this helped!!!

THE FASHION BIBLE :: Mini-Post

This is sort of a prerequisite to the big Coast-to-Coast style post I'll be making, just because I don't have enough time tonight to make the big post.

So you know, this mini-post is all about looking and feeling great at school, and comments from real guys' I've heard around my town about what guys like in a girl.



Look And Feel Amazing, 0607!



check out the trendy back-to-school fashion guide, and the fashion abcs, in below posts.

- It's okay to do this occasionally, but don't buy clothes that are too small for you, then make a pact to yourself like, "Oh, I'll lose weight and then fit into these." I know it's tempting, but for now, buy clothes that make you look and feel great in your own skin, with your own body type. CosmoGIRL and Seventeen are great for showing clothing that works for so many different body types, so check out one of those magazines. I promise you'll feel a lot better about yourself by doing that rather than buying too-small items, which is just stupid. And I promise you'll get lots of compliments!


- Don't dress in clothing that is trashy, aka: your boobs hanging out of a skintight top, obscenely tight jeans, etc.  Desperate guys like girls that do this, but cool guys like girls who are confident without dressing like a prostitute, and look great in a more classy way. All of the clothes featured in the fashion bible will be sure to attrack COOL guy's attention, since they're all fab and none are trashy. =]


- Don't lose weight the wrong way. Real guys like girls who look normal, not like a bobblehead (aka - the girls who look anorexically skinny and their head is out of proportion on their starved bodies.) Check out your BMI on seventeen.com. Chances are, you're not overweight, and if you are, then you just need to eat healthier, work out, or see a doctor for professional tips, if it's health related. If you want to lose weight, take up a fall sport (options include soccer, field hockey, volleyball, and cross-country), and/or go to a gym to tone your muscles. Eat healthy (see below for a list of healthy foods) and DONT STARVE YOURSELF. It will just give you major health issues in the long run, and since you have a distorted image of yourself (anorexia is a serious disease), you may think you look great after losing 2879384798472984792847928479284379824 pounds, but everyone else thinks you look disgusting. If you are considering being anorexic, don't, and if you are, please tell an adult -- a parent, doctor, guidance counselor, etc. They'll help you get back on track. Do the same if you have a friend with an eating disorder. They may get mad at you now, but in the long run they will thank you for not letting them damage their life just because they want to lose a couple pounds (when they could have done it healthily). Also, if you have a friend or yourself has an eating disorder and they play a sport, that could be really dangerous -- without proper nutrients they/you may faint on the field, become overtired, or sick. Tell your coach.

- Take care of yourself. Eat healthy, sleep 8-10 hours a night, bathe/shower, and brush your teeth. You'll be radiant and cute for school.



What Real Guys Say.
"What we like in a girl."


"Girls can't be afraid to eat in front of you. It's just weird if they are."


"They can't be too clingy. It's annoying if you're just talking to a girl as friends in the hall, and then your girlfriend throws a jealous fit."


"Girls should look healthy, not too skinny."


"A girl should have a good sense of humor."


"A girl should be able to watch sports with us (and enjoy it!)"


"They can't be drama queens and always be caught up in catfights with their friends. That's just immature and annoying."


"She should be able to have fun."


So there we have it, ladies!





Healthy Snack Foods to Help You Look Your Best:

- granola bars
- fruit
-water [drink lots of it! it clears up your skin!]

- 100-calorie pack snacks
- carrots
-celery sticks
