There's no end to the amount of style related things I could talk about.  Hair, makeup, shoes, etc.  But today, I'm going to give you a tip.


It's an amazing product, and one you've most likely heard of.  It works magic, and can be used for so many different purposes.  What is this product?

That's right, Vaseline.  I absolutely can't live without the stuff.  I'm going to list some of it's thousands of uses!

1.  I use it as an eye makeup remover.  I once heard of a girl who went to a makeup factory and saw the bins where they kept the eye makeup remover.  She said that every few months they had to change them out because of corrosion!  Ever since, I can't make myself use eye makeup remover.  I just put a dot on my eye and lightly, with my ring finger, blend it around my eyes and my lid to remove the makeup.

2.  Rub it on your feet every night, put some socks on, and voila!  Soft feet!

3.  If you have dry spots on your skin, put a dab of Vaseline on it.  The spot will be moisturized in no time.

4.  I rarely buy clear lip gloss, because Vaseline is perfect for that.  It's very shiny and stays on fairly well, and it's intensely moisturizing.

5.  If you coat your eyelashes with it every night, they will grow.  I've been doing it for quite some time now, and they're noticeably fuller and longer.

6.  Soften your cuticles.  Rub a bit of this around your fingernails and your cuticles and nail beds will thank you.

7.  Put on the edge of a q-tip to precisely wipe away bits of extraneous eye-shadow fall-out.

8.  Clear up eye-liner mistakes with a bit of this on a q-tip.

9.  I've used a very thin coat of this as a base for a fake bruise I did on my arm once.  I let it absorb a bit, and it held the makeup on my arm very well.  If it's just wet Vaseline, it will smudge it all.

10.  Lip scrubs.  Mix with sugar, salt, and honey and scrub your lips.  They'll be soft and smooth in seconds. Just don't eat it.  Please.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.  I always have a tub of this, and it lasts for quite a while.

Very Stylish Girls- Fall/Winter 2010 fashion trends

I'm having problems with the html editor on my blog today, so to steal this button, just paste this into your blog:

<a href="http://pastaandwaffles.blogspot.com/search/label/very%20stylish%20girls"><img src="http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af204/pastaandwaffles/verystylishgirlpicniked-1.jpg" /></a>


I decided to launch right ahead with my new series.  I hope to do this perhaps once a week, but we all know I have issues with doing bloggy things when I set a schedule.  So let's not get our hopes up, shall we?

It's cold outside, people!  It's time to break out the coats and boots and warm socks, and this year's trends are really very cute.  This season's colors are absolutely my favorites to wear.

Of course, this little palette doesn't include the popular colors that are obvious, like black and white and navy blue.  Those sorts colors will never go out of style!  My favorite color is purple, so I'm thrilled that it's now considered very "in."

Now, we'll move on to types of clothing.

1.  Ponchos:

These are so fashionable right now!  I have this one, from H&amp;M:

It's very warm and cozy to boot.  

I also like this style.  It's really a shirt, but it still has the poncho vibe, and is a more understated way to follow the trend.

2.  Boots

Boots are always practical, and luckily very cute.  Riding boots like these are very popular lately:

Also, for fancier events, point toe boots never go out of style.

3:  Jeans

Flares are no longer in style, and boot cuts are purely for function.  The trend now is skinny jeans all around.  It doesn't work for everybody, but if it works for you, rock on!  I love my skinnies, especially tucked in boots.

The darker the better with your jeans this season!  No acid washes (EVER) or faded light blues.  And please, if you wear jean-leggings, wear a long shirt or a dress.  The tighter the pants, the longer the shirt, that's what I always say.  Actually, I made that up just now.  But it's true.

And boys, please refrain from wearing skinny jeans.  Please.

4.  Coats

Camel coats are really in, but other than that, coats will be coats.  No one is going to fault you for wearing a functional coat when it's cold outside!  But just for reference, I love this camel coat:

That's all I've got for now, folks.  It's late and I must be going to bed.  This is really just skimming the surface, but it would take days to talk about all the trends.  But I hope this series will be fun!  Feel free to grab my button and make your own post on anything style-related.  Make sure to leave a comment below telling me you did!

Very Stylish Girls- Introduction

So, based on the positive poll results to the right, I have decided to do a series on style!

I have always had a passion for anything feminine.  I love doing hair, for myself and others, and I love doing makeup and getting dressed up.  I'd wear heels every day if I could, and I completely love to shop.

Therefore, I am starting a new series called "Very Stylish Girls."  Very stylish girl is a reference from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Audrey Hepburn was always known as this very thing after that movie, so I thought it would be a fun title because I LOVE Audrey Hepburn.  I'm really excited about this project.  I've always been inclined toward this sort of thing, and am glad to have an outlet.  My first post is going to be on this season's most popular styles.  I hope you like my series!!

I'll have a button up shortly, and you can grab it and do some stylish girl posts of your own if you like!  Just make sure you leave comments letting me know.

Love,
Caroline
