Ins and Outs #15

Hello fashionistas!

I'm sorry for being a little missing in action these past couple of days. School has been super busy and the boyfriend came home over the weekend. 

I realized that I had not done an ins and outs post in awhile, so I decided that I would do another one. 

INS

1.) I have recently fallen in love with making my hair in waves with a mini straightener, teasing it, and then putting it up. The waves add a little bit of texture to the hair do and it is more interesting than just a basic ponytail. 

2.) Has anyone else been watching the Real Housewives of Miami? That show has been heating up! If you guys don't already know, I really love Bravo reality shows. #addicted. 

via

3.) In other show news, Revenge has also been really good. I love love love that show! 

via

4.) I'm loving the color burgundy. I just bought a corduroy Calvin Klein blazer in burgundy. Can't wait to post an outfit of the day with you all! 

5.) I have been listening to Say You're Sorry by Sara Bareilles on repeat for days! It's just a good song and her voice is beautiful. 

OUTS

1.) Dear Florida, I am ready for cool weather please get rid of the heat. I have a plethora of sweaters that I'm ready to wear! 

2.) I am the absolute worst packer. I feel like I always try to consolidate the amount I pack, but I never really can. I am packing tonight because I am going up to visit my best friend (who moved 4 states away) tomorrow! That's not the out, the out is the fact that I'm a horrible packer. 

Alright, I'm off to continue packing and do some homework.

Will post soon!

Love you guys!

Ins and Outs #14.

Hello fashionistas!

I'm sorry for literally abandoning the blog lately... It was my last week of summer. I've had a lot going on; my best friend visited for 5 days and went back to her new home, 4 states away. I sent my boyfriend off to college yesterday and I've been juggling a mess of emotions with all of the things going on in my life.

Anyways, I wanted to do a quick ins and outs post to share with you all, I haven't done one in almost 2 months, so it's about time!

INS

1.) No matter where my best friend is she's always going to be in my heart and just a phone call/Skype call away. Here's a cute snapshot of us at the beach (well we actually had gone up to the beach shack restaurant).

Same goes for the boyfriend, he might be 90 minutes away, but we have Skype, texting, talking. It's all going to be fine. Here's a few pictures of us taking a break from packing up his stuff. 

If you two are reading this, I already miss both of you like crazy!

2.) I decided that I'm going to go full steam ahead with all my effort and put it into school. Grades are what really matter this year (and every year). Last year I had almost all A's and I want to strive for the same thing this year.

3.) I'm still in absolute love with polka dots. I bought 2 dresses with polka dot patterns this year for school. This dress and another black and white one that I have yet to take a picture of for the blog.  Which reminds me, I'll do a back to school haul probably Monday or Tuesday.

4.) I'm not really sure why, but I'm completely obsessed with this song by Jon McLaughlin featuring Sara Bareilles called Summer Is Over.

 Seriously, listen to it. It kind of fits my melancholy mood that I'm in right now. 

OUTS 

1.) I'm not going to lie, I am really tired of the insane heat that has been going on in Florida. I wish we had an actual 'fall' season instead of brief cool days in September/October.

2.) I'm tired of being sad about summer being over and the goodbyes that had to be said. This is a new chapter of my life. I'm going to suck it up and enjoy it. 

That's about all I have to say for now. I can't believe that I start my junior year tomorrow (too bad it isn't senior year)! When do you all start school?

Loads of love!

Ins and Outs #13

Hello fashionistas!

This is again another pre-scheduled post. 

I wanted to do an ins and outs post for you all because a.) I really like doing them and b.) I thought it was about time for another one! 

INS

1.) I've started to fall into that 'summer makeup routine' of concealer, powder, blush, bronzer, illuminator, mascara, eyeliner, and a pinch of lipstick/gloss. Basically this look. It takes me a whopping ten minutes to put  together!

2.) I'm kind of addicted to watermelon. I'm not sure why, but I 'm really loving it. 

via

3.) I really love the song Beautiful Girl by Sara Bareilles. 

Here voice is so amazing. Also, how great does that dress look on her? So great!

4.) I'm not going to lie, I got sucked into another season of the Bachelorette. Why am I such a hopeless romantic? My 2 favorite guys are Arie and Jef, but remember this is a pre-scheduled post, so my favorites could be gone by the time you read this! 

via

5.) I've also been watching Pretty Little Liars. I read all of the books (except the last 2 or 3) and I really loved the series. The show is good and always keeps me on the edge of my seat (even though I read the books)! I really love Hanna or Ashley Benson's style on the show. 

via

I loved this jacket and necklace. I think the lace dress was fun, but a basic little white dress would have been even cuter! 

6.) I'm a Pinterest addict and a couple of weeks ago I pinned a recipe for Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes and I can honestly say that they are the best. cupcakes. EVER. My boyfriend and I made them again the other day. So tasty (or as I say tay-tay)! 

via

Don't deny it, your mouth is watering  just a bit. 

OUTS 

1.) I'm tired of the humidity down in Florida. It's so thick and heavy all of the time. Thankfully I won't be in it while you guys are reading this! (:

2.) My best friend moving away. That's a definite out for me. I really wish it wasn't happening. 

That's about all I have to say! What are your ins and outs right now?

Ins and Outs #12

Hello fashionistas!

I haven't done an ins and outs post in almost 2 months, so I thought it was due time for another one.

IN

1.) I'm absolutely in love with all of Ingrid Michaelson's music. Especially her song Keep Breathing. I feel like this song is my life.  

Listen to it! 

2.) I'm really into polka dots right now. I've purchased tops and dresses with them on it. I really want a tote bag with them on it... Will have to find one!

3.) I'm absolutely obsessed with the Nars' Orgasm Illuminator deluxe sample I got at Sephora.

 I now need to buy the full sized one, which you can purchase here. 

4.) My best friend showed me this sweet website full of funny/some serious articles and I love reading it every day. It's called Thought Catalog and some of the stuff is hysterical. You all need to check it out.

5.) I'm totally obsessed with Gossip Girl right now. 

via

Seriously, I can't believe Chuck's dad is alive. Plot twist much? Also, just read online that there will only be one more season! It's basically my favorite show. 

OUT

1.) I'm so tired of school, summer is so close and these last 2 and 1/2 weeks are dragging by! I have 3 more AICE exams (well AICE and pre-AICE) and then I only have to go in for my french, algebra 2, and chemistry exams. Then I'm finished, woooo!

2.) Can I also lament about how the weekends fly by? Yeah, they do. The week takes forever to end and the weekends like to breeze right past me in the blink of an eye. 

What are your latest ins and outs?

Alright, I'm off to go do some laundry and homework.

Loads of love!

Ins and Outs #11

Hello fashionistas!

This weekend has turned out to be nothing like I thought it was going to be.

I was expecting a glorious, sunny 3 day weekend and what I got was a not so glorious, overcast/rainy weekend. On Friday I was supposed to have a MRI of my neck and the imaging center called to tell me that the machines were down and I had to reschedule for this upcoming Friday. New guy was supposed to come into town on Friday, but at the last minute plans changed. Le sigh.

 Anyways, enough of this story, I wanted to do another ins and outs posts! They're actually one of my favorite posts to do. 

INS

1.) I'm in absolute love with Emily Giffin books. I had seen the movie for Something Borrowed , but had never read the book. I loved the movie and my two best friends read the book and told me it was great. I already liked Giffin's writing style, so I decided to read it. I basically devoured the book in two days! I couldn't put it down and I'm now dying to read Something Blue. Seriously, go check out her books! 

via

2.) The other day I purchased Gavin Degraw's CD titled Sweeter. I have been jamming to it pretty much nonstop. My favorite songs are "Not Over You", "Radiation", "Soldier", and "Sweeter." They're all very catchy.

via

3.) Another thing I'm into is braiding my hair! I've been obsessed with braiding it and putting it up in a little ponytail. Here's the link for instructions on how to achieve this! 

4.) Spring and summer always makes me crave bright colors. To fulfill this desire, I've been playing with bright eyeshadows as eyeliners. Just enough of a pop to make me happy. Here's a picture of what I've been doing! Products I used can be found at the same link as my hair instructions!

OUTS

1.) As you all know I'm a wee bit of a planner and this weekend has made me realize that I cannot control everything and everyone. My plans changed against my will. Was I bummed? Yeah, I was, but this has made me rethink my constant planning and controlling. I think I need to just go with the flow a little bit more. It would definitely make for a less stressed Savannah! Maybe I'll even leave it up to other people to do the planning.

2.) The third nine weeks of school is gone! This year is flying right past me. Sometimes I can't even believe that we only have 9 more weeks of school until summer! Not that I'm complaining.


That's about all I have for this volume of ins and outs.

I'm off to go get ready to go out with my Dad and sister. We decided to go out to our favorite cafe and then go ice skating. Let's hope none of us bust our booties!
Have a great weekend!

Ins and Outs #10

Hello fashionistas!

I wanted to do a little ins and outs post. I seriously almost didn't do it, but I wanted to keep up with my every other day blogging. I've been on a two month roll with it! 

Before I launch into this post I just wanted to share what my day consisted of. Today was the World Language Festival and my best friend Melissa and I woke up at 5:30 to get ready and be there by 6:50. We did make a Starbucks (or as I call them JupiterEuros) stop. We were in a French brain brawl, poem competition, and an 'amazing race.' 

I literally waited until the day before to memorize my poem, which forced me to pick an easy poem and as a second year student I should have chosen a harder poem... Oh well! When I went up I literally apologized to my judges about how short it was and how I waited last minute. I totally didn't think I'd win anything and then during awards Melissa and our friend Madeleine got superior and when they went up the speaker called out my name for superior too. All 3 of us burst into laughter. It was hysterical. 

Okay, onto the actual post! 

INS

via

1.) I've started watching the new show called The River. I'm actually quite liking it, spooky but interesting! I don't like the weird shaky camera angles, that annoys me.

via

2.) I've very recently (aka this week) become into using hot rollers in my hair. I love the volume it gives me. 

I hope I can continue to use them even when it gets warmer because warm weather in Florida equals so much humidity! Also, these aren't the exact hot rollers that I use, but close enough!

3.) Is anyone else excited for bright spring colors to come back? I sure am. I will be brave enough to color-block more boldly this season. I want to mix hot pink and teal. I think that is such a pretty color combination!

Here are some cute shoes from Shoemint that I really like. I don't think I'd get them because of the ankle straps, those always make my legs look even shorter than they are!

4.) For Valentines day my mom bought me the new Snow Patrol CD and I've been jamming to it nonstop! My favorite song is called This Isn't Everything You Are. 

via

OUTS

1.) I really need to stop stressing out over school. I'm starting to think that my teachers are right, I stress myself out! I really need to relax and have fun. 

2.) Okay, I know you always want what you don't have, but I really wish that it was still cool! It was 85 degrees today! I need it to be cool again, I am not ready for warm, humid weather! 

Okay, I'm off to eat dinner, I convinced the family that we should get chinese for dinner. 

Post-dinner I will be falling into a blissful sleep, this has been such a long day.

Have a grand weekend!

Ins and Outs #9

Hello fashionistas!

I haven't done an ins and outs post in what seems like forever, so here are some of my current ins and outs!

INS

via

1.) I'm obsessed with Pinterest. If you haven't already heard about it, it's a virtual pinboard where you "pin" cool pictures to different boards. I've found really good recipes on there. Also, you can easily get a lot of fashion inspiration.

2.) Blogging on an every other day basis. I've been trying to be a good blogger and keep the blog updated! 

I always feel so guilty when I don't post for a few days!

3.) My latest hair obsession is the Oscar Blandi Hair Lift serum thickens and volumizes your hair.

It makes my hair even fuller and more voluminous than normal. I've been blowing it dry every night with a round brush. I go to bed and I wake up and I barely have to do anything. I originally bought it because is was only $6, now that I've fallen in love with it I might actually cough up with the $19 when I run out of it..

via

4.) As of this week I've been doing soft pink and brown eye makeup. I was really inspired to do my makeup like that because of the wedding episode of Gossip Girl. Leighton Meester's makeup was flawless and the hot pink lip is the perfect punch of  color. I'll probably re-do this look sometime over the weekend for the blog! I just adore it so much. 

5.) Wearing my hair in different styles. I'm loving curling my hair with a mini flat iron (just twisting it over) and using pomade and hair spray to get it to stay.

Curls, curls, curls.

OUTS

1.) Spoiler alert for any of you who have yet to watch Gossip Girl. 

I am so tired of the creators not letting Blair and Chuck just be together! Like seriously, I do not like the prince. Especially after he said he only married her to keep being the prince. 

2.) I absolutely hate waiting to do things last minute, I always fret about having to do them, so I've been just getting things down as soon as possible.

That's about all for this ins and outs!

I'm going to do a recreation of the wedding makeup, pictured above. I'm also going to write up my January favorites to go up next week.

Have a great weekend!

Ins and Outs #8

Hello beautiful dolls!

Due to the fact that I've been sick I have not had any outfits worth picturing. 

Instead of just not posting for a few days, I thought I would do an ins and outs post.

I have not done one in a month, so it's due time! 

INS


1.) Berry lips! Okay, so maybe not literally berries in my mouth lip pictures, but this picture pretty much described what I meant. I wish I was daring enough to buy a true purple berry lip color, I'm leaning more towards "cranBERRY" lips. Still berry-esque. I think winter just makes me want to wear more bold lip colors.

via

2.) One Tree Hill. I started watching it a couple of months ago on Netflix, I quickly became hooked. I love the show and I love the cast -hello, hottie Chad Michael Murray! I'm glad I didn't watch it when it was live, possibly because I was only 8 when it first started, but more because I could not have waited each week for a new episode. I'm addicted. If you haven't watched it then I highly suggest you should. Once I'm done with this I'm going to have to find another series to watch on Netflix. Watching an episode or two before I go to sleep is so relaxing. 

via

3.) This next in is a bit strange, but I figured I'd throw it on in here. International Delight's Almond Joy creamer. It's the most delicious coffee creamer ever! A bit of sweet with smidgen of coconut. I HIGHLY suggest you all try it!

 via

4.) I'm enjoying doing do it yourself projects. Or at least coming up with ideas for DIY projects! After making my galaxy shirts (I made a few), I've been looking for more unique projects to tackle. The next one I want to do is make a fabric braided necklace or bracelet. I'm thinking about doing it this weekend.

5.) My 16th birthday is almost here! 12 days and counting until I'm "sweet sixteen", although I won't be getting a car. Nor will I be getting my license until at least June. I slacked off for six months on getting my permit. I knew I wasn't getting a car for the big one six, so I wasn't all that motivated to get it last year!
My dad and I are going to take a daddy daughter trip come spring break to NYC for my birthday, exciting!

via
Also, how cute is this makeup cake? Adorable!

OUTS


1.) I'm hating the weather in Florida. While everyone else is experiencing the fall/winter I'm experiencing 80 degrees. To keep me happy the weather will 'plummet' down into the 50s for a few days and I start to get that happy winter feel. That feeling doesn't last long because it then shoots back up to the 70s. What the heck Florida, please just stay cool for a little while. I beg you.

2.) Being sick! This is truly an out because my antibiotics are starting to kick in and I'm on the mend.


That's about all I have to say my beauties!
Lots of love and have a happy weekend!

Ins and Outs #7

Hello fashionistas!

I figured I was due for another ins and outs post. I like doing these posts because I feel like you guys get to know me on a more personal level, not just my makeup and clothing!

INS

1.) I'm so obsessed with the new show Revenge. 

via

The cast is great, the fashion is fabulous, and the plot is so full of twists! Melissa and I decided that it was kind of like Lost, only not science fiction-y. More like Lost with elite Hamptonites! You should definitely tune in, you'll be hooked. 

2.) So cliche, but I'm so happy about the crisp fall weather! Florida is always hot and humid, so the second the weather turns cool I spend as much time outside as possible. Today I took my dog on two, hour long walks. 

3.) I've been really into baking lately. I love making cookies for the clubs I'm in at school. Today I made double chocolate chunk cookies for my High Q club. We have a meet tomorrow, but I'm not going to be there because I'm driving down to pick up my mom from the airport. 

4.) Lipstick! I used to not be into lipstick, I felt that it was drying and just didn't flatter me. Now I can't stop wearing it. I'm venturing into different colors. I am no longer wearing just pinks, I'm testing the waters with reds and darker fall colors. 

via

On my to-buy list is Revlon's Violet Frenzy lipstick. It's so pretty! 

5.) I'm currently obsessed with 2 new songs. Criminal by Britney Spears and Wild Heart by Sabi. Check them out  here and here.

6.) With the cool fall weather comes drinking hot coffee!

via

 My best friend and I love "fall bevvies", translation fall beverages. It's just too hot to drink hot coffee, so I typically order my coffee iced. 

Little things like hot coffee and scarves scream autumn to me!

OUTS

1.) I'm really over stressing about things that don't matter. Petty fights with friends are pointless, worrying about things that are out of my control is pointless. 

From now on, I'm going to not worry about the little things. I'm going to focus on the people I love and who are important to me. 

2.) I'm probably one of the few people out there that doesn't love Halloween, but I just am not a big fan. I'm ready for it to be done! 

That's about it for my ins and outs. I don't have very many outs this time, oh well!

Have a grand week, lots of love!

Ins and Outs #6

Hello fashionistas!

It's about time I do another ins and outs post, I haven't done one in AGES. 

For those of you who are new to my blog, ins and outs can be fashion and beauty related or anything. Here's what I'm loving and what I'm so over. 

INS

1.) Blazers! Living in Florida equals wearing dresses and shorts all summer long, so I've missed my beloved blazers. I've been wearing them so much to school, even though it's still hot outside. I just can't help myself! They make any outfit look more chic. 

via

2.) My new haircut, I'm loving having this fierce hair style. It's stacked in the back and Posh Spice-esque in front. I didn't want to go as short as she did, so I left it slightly longer. I'm finding that it makes me look a lot older. 

3.) I just purchased Natasha Bedingfield's "Strip Me" album. My favorites are Strip Me, Weightless, Little Too Much, Touch, Run-Run-Run, No Motzart and All I Need... Basically the entire album! You should definitely check this out. She's got such an amazing voice. 

via

4.) I'm so glad that I'm back in my pottery class. It feels good to let my creativity be released onto my favorite medium, clay! I'm in the middle of a really geometric, abstract piece. Pottery is definitely something I foresee me doing after high school. Not as a career, but as a hobby. 

5.) Watching movies. Last weekend I was sick and stayed in all weekend. I watched so many flicks! Let me list all the ones I watched: Uptown Girls, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, Serendipity, The Notebook, The Devil Wears Prada, and Something Borrowed. 

I love all of these movies SO much! If I had not fallen asleep on Sunday afternoon I would have watched my all time favorite movie, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days. My movie weekend made me feel a lot better. 

6.) Joining clubs at school. Last year I was only in 2 clubs, this year I'm in 5! I feel like I'm taking part in so much more this year, which I'm glad I'm doing. It's a great way to meet new people. 

OUTS

1.) Getting up early. I'm seriously over getting up for school EVERY MORNING. I miss sleeping in past 7:30. I'm also one of those people that gets on the school schedule and then wakes up at that time over the weekend.

2.) The weather here sucks. I'm seriously over heat and humidity. I just want it to be 65 degrees outside, then I'll stop complaining! It's just too darn hot.

3.) I hate when I run out of face wash and then I run out of five other things! This happened this week. It's so annoying!

That's about all I have for my ins and outs right now. 

What are your ins and outs? 

Have you discovered any great new things?

Ins and Outs #5

Hey fashionistas!

It's about time for another ins and outs post, so here I go!

INS

1.) I am loving wearing skinny headbands with my bangs completely back. I'm not sure if it's because it's summer and I don't want my bangs sticking to my face or what, but I love it! 

Skinny headbands like these are my favorite. 

via

2.) High ponytails. My hair is super thick, so during the summer I don't like to wear it down. I've been alternating between high ponytails and top knots. I love the braids at the top of this ponytail! 

via

3.) Working out. I fell of the working out bandwagon for a bit, but I've been hitting the gym a lot lately. I love doing the elliptical, leg machines, and arm machines the most. 

via

4.) Watching movies. Lately I've been on a movie kick. I watched Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days (MY FAVORITE MOVIE), and a random Lifetime movie all last week. Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon were so scary! 

via

5.) Driving. Since I got my permit all I've done is pester my mom and dad to take me driving. Practice makes perfect. I'm going to need a heck of a lot more practice before I ever reach perfect status!

6.) Crystal Light. I've always liked this, but I've been drinking it more than normal. I don't drink soda because it gives me a stomach ache, so this gives my water a good flavor. My favorites are the peach iced tea and raspberry iced tea. 

via

OUTS

1.) My skin has been betraying me lately. I've tried using my different on the spots, exfoliators, cleansers and nothing is working. I think it's partly because it's summer and just more natural oil on my face, but it still is annoying. Hopefully it gets better before school starts. *For the record it isn't super bad. Just not my normal*

2.) Sleeping in. School is a mere 3 weeks away and I need to stop sleeping in until 11, or else school will be a rude awakening! 

3.) Staying up late is also out! It just goes along with the sleeping in. 

What are your ins and outs right now? Are any of them the same as mine?

I'm currently watching the Bachelorette season finale, I'm pulling for JP. Are you watching? If so, who are your rooting for? 

I promise that I will do a room makeover post this week, it was a mess this week because my sister is a slob. I'm cleaning it completely tomorrow, so I'll definitely do it this week! I'm also going to do a favorites post for July.

Lots of love!

Ins and Outs #4

Hello fashionistas!

I'm sorry I didn't post much (ahem.. cough cough, hardly at all) while on vacation!

We got back last night, home sweet home. I'm going to do a post on my trip to North Carolina during the week. 

I've missed you guys!

Anyways, onto my ins and outs.

INS

1.)  Polyvore! I am so obsessed with Polyvore, it's every fashionista's dream. You can find me on there as glamgirlS2014.

via

2.) While on vacation I read so much! I love reading, I read so much that my mom says she can hardly keep books in the house! I started a 600 something page book 2 days ago and I'm already halfway through it!

via

3.)  This a random in, but I'm addicted to Nature Valley Granola Thins! They're delicious and only 80 calories. It's like a smore sans the marshmallow.

via

4.) David Cook's new CD This Loud Morning. Love this CD! My favorites are Paper Heart,  Fade Into Me, The Last GoodBye, and We Believe. 

via

OUTS

1.) Heat! I live in Florida and it is hotter than the blazes here! I just wish it would cool down for a bit, sadly I can't control the weather. 

2.) Road trips. I actually really like road trips, I'm just road-tripped out! We drove to and from North Carolina and I'm a little over the car right now. Colby (the 85 pound yellow lab who's been on here a few times) slept on my lap almost the entire way there and back!

 Granted he is adorable... 

He had anti-naseau/sleeping medicine so he would be good on the ride. Needless to say, this was not the comfiest! 

I don't really have anymore outs, so they're shorter than normal! 

I'll be back to posting regularly this week. 

Lots of love!
