One of my favorite trends that became quite popular last summer is still going strong; the crop top. Crop tops are quite versatile. They can range from short to long sleeves, casual and sporty to sheer and flirty. I personally own quite a few crop tops and can not get enough of them! They look great layered, tucked into shorts or loose and flowy paired with skinny jeans. Below are some of my favorite bloggers with their interpretation of the crop top trend. Trang from <a href="http://theseams.blogspot.com/">behind the seams</a>, Natalie from <a href="http://lavagabonddame.blogspot.com/">la vagabond dame</a> and a super talented photographer Amy from <a href="http://amyscheepers.blogspot.com/">lucid dreams</a> each have their own personal style that can clearly be seen in the outfits below. I took the liberty to recreate these outfits, at an afforadble price of course!<br />

I am soo lucky to have such a wonderful caring, supportive and loving mother! Although today is reserved especially for all the mothers of the world, they should really be celebrated every day! That being said, I decided to get up early this morning, which was a sacrifice on it's own, to make breakfast! When it comes to breakfast, I'm the Queen of french toast! I always love to try new and different recipes, so when I got my hands on a recipe for Warm Pear French Toast Sundae I couldn't wait to test it out!<br />

Cinco de Mayo, one of the many holidays that us American's use as an excuse to get super drunk. In honor of this wonderful holiday I figured I would post five different margarita recipes to spice up la fiesta! Like most drinks these come in a variety of flavor combinations. It was hard to choose but if you want to browse the other varieties be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/holidays-and-parties/10-cinco-de-mayo-margaritas/pictures/index.html">food network</a> page!<br />

If you're one of the many college students starting finals this week, I can sympathize. Not only is school stress full all year, but lets make things worse by giving you a bazillion papers, presentations and exams all around the same time. In order to overcome all the pressure and stress involved with school it is important to follow these 6 key steps to prepare yourself in order to ace all of your exams!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. Make a Schedule </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8A0tR3ISKPINctY4O5O2PuVO4UqLsisnHBgcTKGGmzLM2957Mxctq8yV8BrE8jCrjuDfH9POeEacS_4G0pK2s95fzZZhmrD44X7yfVUQPQydXDowwjirtzrtTHPPyZnQ3KZxrervbxyE/s1600/schedule.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8A0tR3ISKPINctY4O5O2PuVO4UqLsisnHBgcTKGGmzLM2957Mxctq8yV8BrE8jCrjuDfH9POeEacS_4G0pK2s95fzZZhmrD44X7yfVUQPQydXDowwjirtzrtTHPPyZnQ3KZxrervbxyE/s320/schedule.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
One of the best investments you can make is to buy a planner<strong>.</strong> It is essential to keep yourself organized when you have soo many things going on in your life. I find it extremely helpful to make a list of what days I plan on dedicating to study what. I might then get even more specific on each day and write a list of all the things I plan on accomplishing. As you slowly make your way down your list crossing each item off one by one, you can't help but feel like you've accomplished a lot. Planning ahead of time is key to being stress free, avoiding cramming!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. Exercise</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuMfnM6aLranWoOm_p-3rvbQtQvpJf2sPghu0p1JDRIScmG51_l6S3Bpyq-tretwYIaNwpoZyq_ueNGy2dFRWPmfZbrI5sO2Ghv_K8_L53Nmxr9SNhtb5LS7yMMiI7-efA5KdE-yWW6o/s1600/running.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="160" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiuMfnM6aLranWoOm_p-3rvbQtQvpJf2sPghu0p1JDRIScmG51_l6S3Bpyq-tretwYIaNwpoZyq_ueNGy2dFRWPmfZbrI5sO2Ghv_K8_L53Nmxr9SNhtb5LS7yMMiI7-efA5KdE-yWW6o/s320/running.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Exercising is not only a great way to stay in shape but it allows you to work out all of your frustrations! If you're not really into hitting the treadmill or running a few laps then I suggest you find your inner chi with some yoga. Yoga is known to help people relax as well as lower there stress level. Although most school's offer exercise classes, if you'd feel more comfortable at home I suggest you check out some yoga <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4DLX0Au9WE">videos</a> for beginners.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. Eat Healthy Foods</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiureL9YrjpI_-jncsfw1cqmc_i_-fErtEgX_Dy79-EnzYdrP023YCxrJv9XBaBDZkaEGDPYSeUbe8SuCJC60Hg9c9uszy3lB8iSgGxBeSMON6bLVbdwkWwYC-GLJnMhbk6MPAnrbahA/s1600/healthy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGiureL9YrjpI_-jncsfw1cqmc_i_-fErtEgX_Dy79-EnzYdrP023YCxrJv9XBaBDZkaEGDPYSeUbe8SuCJC60Hg9c9uszy3lB8iSgGxBeSMON6bLVbdwkWwYC-GLJnMhbk6MPAnrbahA/s320/healthy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
Eating healthy is a no brainer, especially when you need to concentrate and really use your brain to it's full potential. Although it might be easier to grab an energy drink or a big mac, those sugars and fats will just make you crash and feel lethargic. Going for a granola bar or some fresh fruits and veggies will absolutely give you the energy and concentration needed for those long days ahead. If you want to see other foods you should (and shouldn't) eat, check out the list <a href="http://health.yahoo.net/experts/eatthis/best-and-worst-brain-foods/">yahoo!</a> compiled.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">4. Take Breaks</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWaWXZDgCOY5MrvYolI4OMmt7U7kJwa0XV6hWle1nBf72LbLqIMRixbV-QJZCugbGCx9fUlaN9MDs4OY-FdizZsXwyA21qzlHdDlrY1nyhcBxLwWVnmHvPDVh-0Y6YWhV_F6ZtsRTJqcE/s1600/break.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWaWXZDgCOY5MrvYolI4OMmt7U7kJwa0XV6hWle1nBf72LbLqIMRixbV-QJZCugbGCx9fUlaN9MDs4OY-FdizZsXwyA21qzlHdDlrY1nyhcBxLwWVnmHvPDVh-0Y6YWhV_F6ZtsRTJqcE/s320/break.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
Studying 24/7 can actually be counterproductive. Over working your brain can actually be a bad thing. It's important to take a 10-15 minute break for each hour you're studying. Go on facebook and stalk that cute boy in class or call up one of your friends about that so called hottie and gossip a little. Giving yourself that little distraction allows your brain and eyes to get a little break from the books and actually helps you to be more focused when studying.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">5. Remove Distractions</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqh9RxynnpRu5reskkpO-vrUOrsiws5DtpXqgJ9e6P9O4mQtGI5hLKLJgHypb_knAKuN6LfturFgq2DMMO-2YDh-LWU7LRt77plv33Khezh7EuTkC7EjgWozlOrruullu0UfyXiIwBiA/s1600/facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMqh9RxynnpRu5reskkpO-vrUOrsiws5DtpXqgJ9e6P9O4mQtGI5hLKLJgHypb_knAKuN6LfturFgq2DMMO-2YDh-LWU7LRt77plv33Khezh7EuTkC7EjgWozlOrruullu0UfyXiIwBiA/s320/facebook.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I might have said that it was okay to check your facebook account during your 15 minute breaks, but otherwise fb is banned. Removing electronic devices such as your phone and computer are key to helping yourself stay focused and not get distracted. Although the Internet might be needed for your research or contains your studying materials, it allows a portable for other distractions such as facebook, tumblr, twitter etc. If you want to still use the Internet but you don't want to be distracted I suggest you download <a href="http://visitsteve.com/made/selfcontrol/">self control</a>. This application allows you to actually block certain websites for a period of time. Until that time is up, there’s absolutely no way to access those websites (don't even try to restart your computer, it won't work). Freakin' genius! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

The one thing we probably neglect the most during school is sleep. One of the worst habits as a college student is that we tend to postpone assignments to the last minute and love to pull all nighters. When it comes to studying, it is extremely important to get about 8 hours of sleep! Lack of sleep results in memory loss, increase in stress, lack of concentration, headaches and worst of all, one grumpy student!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

If you're anything like me and my friends, you probably love wine. Nothing's more satisfying then sharing a bottle of wine, (or two) with friends after a long stressful week. Before you know it these bottles begin to pile up and start to take up space in your house. So I was beginning to wonder if there are ways to save and reuse all of these bottles. Below are my top five favorite ways to reuse your wine bottle for something that is not only useful but beatiful too! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. Wine Bottle Candle Holders</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGjR0ofwkBx1qlDf1q86jN3BVV9KpxEmoxJmI_eWj3Sy7HbDKPdmnXtOrg1U9VpHZSWZ7yhSVOFdZUy4qN09cNQeB3mlcxAzH6sJ3ciOguzmcM5kBv5ESGlMZAILCTahxAROHcKOwEhc/s1600/wine+candle.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijGjR0ofwkBx1qlDf1q86jN3BVV9KpxEmoxJmI_eWj3Sy7HbDKPdmnXtOrg1U9VpHZSWZ7yhSVOFdZUy4qN09cNQeB3mlcxAzH6sJ3ciOguzmcM5kBv5ESGlMZAILCTahxAROHcKOwEhc/s320/wine+candle.bmp" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These candle holders are fairly simple to make. All you need to do is collect some clear wine bottles, strip them of their labels and buy taper candles to fit. Voila! You now have a beautiful candle holder.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">P.S. Letting the wax drip down the bottle only increases the whole romantic feel!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. Vase or Olive Oil Holder</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This faux dichroic glass finish is great way to give any bottle a new life and [re]purpose. This process is a little more complicated and requires a few more materials and tools to get started.

This is by far the coolest way I've seen wine bottles being reused. You're not just using it as a vessel to hold some flowers but as a whole new piece of furniture! This is probably not an easy craft to produce, but if you know any hands on guys, you should put this on their to do list ASAP! Check out <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Ten-Green---modular-shelving/">instructables</a> for a step by step guide!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Walking down the aisle of the liquor store, you can't help but get pulled towards the wine bottles with the pretty labels! Since that bottle of wine is now <span style="font-family: inherit;">empty and you're now left with the pretty label, you so very wanted, you might as well make use</span> of it! To remove the label all you need to do is soak the bottle in hot water for 20 minutes, with the addition of 2 <span style="font-family: inherit;">or 3 drops of liquid detergent. If the label doesn't float to the top then I suggest you check out further options <a href="http://www.grape-nutz.com/soldiers/labels/removal.html">here</a>. Once you have the label it's up to you to decide how to display it!</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Although this doesn't actually involve the wine bottle, corks can be just as fun to collect. All you need are corks, a bulletin board and your trusty hot glue gun. Ta da! Now you have a gorgeous cork board to fill with equally beautiful photos!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Like most women, I have a love for shoes, handbags and especially <strong>jewelry</strong>. The four big Spring/Summer '11 trends seen on the runways this past Fall include <strong>Cabochon-Style Stones</strong>, <em>Tassels & Fringe</em>, Clean & Architectural and <u>Plastics & Perspex</u>. Below are the trends seen on the runway along with there affordable counterparts, all under $50!<br />
<br />

</div><div align="left">Whenever I see coral and turquoise I know Spring and Summer are just around the corner. These cabochon-style stones are the perfect accessory to add a pop of color to take any outfit from average to amazing! Since these piece are pretty loud I suggest you only wear only one statement piece at a time, otherwise your at risk looking like an aztec warrior!</div><div align="left"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you've been following my blog you are quite aware of the 70s trend that has been seen everywhere this season. From dresses to bags to sandals, fringe was all over <a href="http://fashiontreatssweetbeats.blogspot.com/2011/04/coachella-ella-ella.html">Coachella</a> this past April. Wearing tassels and fringe is hard to pull off without looking like a show/cow girl, so wearing this trend in the form of jewelry is the perfect solution to pulling off that cool 70s vibe.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

When you think plastic jewelry you're probably assuming cheap and tacky, but in actuality it's quite the opposite. The pieces seen here are from high end designers such as French Connection, Marc Jacobs and Betsy Johnson. These pieces are fun and whimsical and allow me to relive a piece of my childhood.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div>I know at one time or another we've all dropped our favorite<span style="color: #e06666;"> <strong>blush</strong></span>, <span style="color: #b45f06;"><strong>bronzer</strong></span> or <span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><strong>eyeshadow</strong></span> and watched it break into a bunch of little pieces. At this point i'm probably so upset that i'm thinking irrationaly and throwing the compact in the trash. Well I just found out that you can actually fix your shattered make up! It's a fairly simple and easy process. All you need is:<br />
<ul><li>rubbing alcohol (70% or higher)</li>
<li>a spoon or knife</li>
<li>ziploc bag </li>
<li>a quarter</li>
<li>a piece of cloth or kleenex.</li>
</ul>Below is a video with a step by step tutorial posted by Kandee Johnson. Not only is she super sweet and cute but she's really great at explaining or as I like to call it, dumbing down, the process.<br />

The only thing more amazing than the electrifying music and the massive amount of celebrities flocking to Coachella, was the fashion. This festival has quickly received attention from bloggers and fashion elite alike the last couple of years. This year it was all about 70s cool, evening wear for day time and bright bold pieces. Below are some of my favorite looks along with pieces corresponding to the trend. It was really hard to narrow down but I think these looks are a great inspiration for what to look out for this summer, especially if your planning on attending any festivals!<br />

When probing the web for random photos and quotes, I tend to find inspiration within each and every one. After coming across these amazing shoes (see above), as well as viewing multiple cheetah themed nails, I decided to do my own version. With a little time and lots of patience, these nails can be easily done.<br />

Ever since I heard Jakwob's remix of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CR5AR6VksC4">under the sheets</a> by Ellie Goulding, I got sucked into the world of dubstep. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but with the variety of sub genres (chillstep, drumstep, thugstep etc), there really is something for everyone. With that being said, I plan on sporadically posting my top picks and updating you with what's hot on the dubstep scene. I hope to get more people introduced to this genre and fall in love with it as quickly as I did!<br />
<br />
<br />
Every die hard dubstep lover has this song. So before you start looking for songs it's a MUST to take a listen to this. Bass Cannon really gives you a feel for dubstep and what it's all about.<br />

If you want to know what's hot on the dubstep scene, I suggest you look for anything done by Skrillex, Rusko, Skream, Nero or Bassnectar, just to name a few. Below are a couple of my favorite songs from some of these artists. <br />

<strong>Just so you know, this video knocked my socks off.</strong><br />

I hope you appreciate and enjoy these songs as much as I do! What do you think? Do you wub wub wub dubstep?<br />

Bags. A girls best friend, right next to shoes. There's something mesmerizing about bags. There are so many types: shoulder, hobo, totes, clutches. They come in a variety shapes, colors and sizes. They're perfect for the day to carry all your <span id="hotword"><span id="hotword" name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">essentials<strong> </strong></span></span>to school and work, or to carry your basics for a night on the town. Personally I think purses can be over looked and deserve to be the star of the show. That being said, I decided to do a post on celebrity outfits with their clutches being the main focal point.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This look was totally unexpected from LC, but I'm in LOVE! Although this look is primarily all black, it's multidimensional. Taking a flowy blouse and pairing it with faux leather leggings is rock n roll chic. Adding a pop of color with a turquoise clutch is genius!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

You know Easter is right around the corner when the shelves at your local grocery store are stocked with the neon colored marshmallow chickens, better known as peeps. Seeing that Easter is about two and a half weeks away, I thought this would be a fun post to share with you! Grace Kang from <a href="http://www.seriouseats.com/">Serious Eats</a> came up with the ingenious idea of taking an American classic, the s'more, and kicked it up a notch by replacing the generic white marshmallow with this eye catching Easter candy. When put together you get a tasty colorful treat, better known as the s'meep!<br />

<strong><span style="color: yellow;">Recipe</span></strong><br />
<br />
*makes 4 s'meeps<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><strong>Ingredients</strong></span><br />
<br />
4 Peeps (1 package)<br />
<br />
4 graham crackers, separated into 8 halves<br />
<br />
Four 1-ounce squares semisweet or dark chocolate (depending on preference)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><strong>Procedure</strong></span><br />
<br />
1. Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350°F.<br />
<br />
2. Place a 1-ounce square of chocolate on 4 of the graham cracker halves. Top each chocolate with a Peep. Say your goodbyes.<br />
<br />
3. Put your Peep sacrifice laden graham crackers on an aluminum foil covered tray and pop them in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch them carefully as toasting Peeps can turn into burn victims beyond repair in the blink of an eye. Vigilance!<br />
<br />
4. Once the Peeps are toasted to your liking, take them out of the oven and squish them with a graham cracker half. Feast.<br />
<br />
<br />

Well it's that time of the year already. Time for those last minute diets, runs to the gym, fake n bake sessions and don't forget about those dreadful bikini waxes! Yes bikini season is just around the corner. Although I might not be physically ready to to go out in public, with scraps of material smaller than a napkin, I'm pretty excited to share what's on trend this season. The four major trends to keep an eye out for will be Minimalist, Floral, Graphic and Moroccan. Below I posted one and two piece bathing suits from each trend that won't break the bank! I just figured that you might want to save your money to go on a vacation. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Your Welcome :)</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Nothing puts me in a better mood than music (unless it's cupcakes)! As I was searching for new songs to add to my <strike>ever growing</strike> collection, I realized the songs that I were drawn to had a commonality among them. They all had great beats and amazing female vocals!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm a HUGE fan of Armin van Buuren. After hearing Laura Jansen's beautiful voice sing Use Somebody by Kings of Leon, I was<em> blown</em> away! Not only are the vocals angelic and dreamy, but Armin manages to make the song even better by adding the perfect beat to make this a dance song, yet the focus is clearly on Laura. Word on the street is that this was a big hit at<strong> Ultra</strong>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<a href="http://soundcloud.com/lowlifeinc/rimer-london-love-dagger">Rimer London - Love Dagger - Magnetron Music</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/lowlifeinc">Low Life Inc</a><br />
<br />
When I first saw Rimer London, I automatically thought mascara but quickly caught my mistake. Amsterdam native, Rimer, is a producer and artist that is known for his melodic tunes with an emphasis on house and electronic music. After sampling some of his singles, it was refreshing to hear a song with vocals. Cata Pirata's vocals left me in a hypnotic trance with catchy sing along lyrics, despite the repetiveness.<br />

<br />
Medina, although the name might not ring a bell, is by no means a nobody. As the biggest female artist in 2010, Medina rules the Danish music scene. Welcome to Medina, is her latest cd containing electro pop tunes that have quickly skyrocketed up the dance charts. Although she is primarily popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there are rumors that her tour may expand to other locations, such as the US! <br />
<br />
<br />
What do you think of these songs? Do you love the beats? vocals? I can't stop playing these songs on repeat! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do =)<br />

</div><div align="left">This time of year the weather is too warm to still be wearing your heavy winter coat, but it's too cold to wear your favorite spring dress without tights. As I was dressing myself for work I was thinking, how can I combine some of my favorite pieces from winter and make them work for me right now? My fur vest and wedged booties have been my go to staples all through fall and winter! Wanting to wear jean shorts in 50 degree weather, I thought it would be best to pair them with black opaque tights and the booties. Adding a flowy lace blouse, brings some lightness to the outfit and adds a bit of whimsy. I'm always a big fan of jewelry, especially rings, so the addition of a big bold ring adds a pop of color and helps complete this look. Below I created a look similar to mine, along with two other looks that combine pieces from your summer and winter wardrobe! </div><div align="left"><br />

To get this look you need a fun flowy skirt (you know i'm partial to flowers by now!), a cardgian of your choice, a shirt (I just happened to go with something a little more conservative but even a tank top would work), add a pair of <a href="http://fashiontreatssweetbeats.blogspot.com/2011/03/springsummer-11-shoe-trends.html">heels</a> (ie. clogs or wooden platforms) and throw on a pair of tights or layer on some fun knee highs! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When the word crochet comes to mind, you might automatically think of the numerous doilies found at your grandmother's house. Let me assure you, these pieces are NOT something you'll see your grandma wearing. The crochet trend has become recently popular due to the 70's being heavily inserted into the trends this season. Numerous celebrities have been rocking this trend such as Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, Kate Bosworth and Miley Cyrus. Here are some of my favorite looks I've seen along with their more affordable counterparts.<br />

</div>A couple weeks ago I did a <a href="http://fashiontreatssweetbeats.blogspot.com/2011/03/rain-rain-go-away.html">post</a> on stylish rain proof outfits. Although I usually make outfits with the viewers (and my own) budget in mind, I couldn't resist throwing in the $3,000 Burberry Studded Trench in one of the looks. What seemed like an untangible item, is now absolutely attainable thanks to a little DIY post done by Erica Domesek from <a href="http://psimadethis.com/">P.S. I Made This</a>! <br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
<br />
-Pick up sushi (this might take a while so you'll need to eat!), along with about <strong>100</strong> chopsticks<br />
-Go to your local craft store and pick up some gold paint & a glue gun (unless you're an avid DIYer, then you should have one already)<br />
-<strike>Steal</strike> Borrow chalk from local neighborhood <strike>spawns</strike> children<br />
-Find a <u>hunky</u> man willing to saw off all the tops of those 100 chopsticks<br />
-Oh yeah, don't forget to get a trench coat!<br />
-Last but not least, find some time & patience to actually start and<em> complete</em> this project!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm always on the prowl looking for new music. Whether it's house, pop, trance, dubstep etc. Today I came across a very talented (and young) duo from Toronto. Ryan Freeman and Grant Peters have been collaborating together on remixes along with their own original music. Below is a video to better understand the minds behind The Dirty Tees. With their intense passion, unlimited inspiration and absolute dedication for music, I can only see great things coming from this pair. No doubt their future will be bright <strike>as the speed of light.</strike></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Although I'm not one to follow trends, this one definitely caught my eye. I've been wanting to do a post on a celebrity outfit for less, and this seemed to be just the inspiration I needed. The (faux) leather jacket is perfect for day time or night time. It's definitely a must have piece, and is a well used staple in my closet. Combined with a feminine floral maxi skirt (another item on my <u>must have</u> list!), provides the perfect balance of tough girl chic, with a touch of feminine flare. Below are three looks I put together for under $100! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

For the past couple of years the big trend has been the gladiator sandal. Well this Spring/Summer there is a lot of new trends being seen on and off the runways. There are shoes for each and every personality, whether you are fun and flirty or a sassy fashionista! </span><br />

When it comes to make up, there isn't anything more classic or beautiful then a cat eye and a red lip. Both looks can seem intimidating and hard to do but that's not true at all! The hardest part is just finding the right color<span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong> red</strong></span> to compliment your skin tone and a foolproof eyeliner (along with some practice) to apply the <em>purrfect</em> cat eye.<br />
<br />

I may be biased but i LOVE a good red lip! Nothing is more sexy, glamorous and sophisticated all in one. To find the perfect red lipstick it is important to first know what type of <a href="http://www.threecustom.com/ximages/static_images/cool_warm_overview_map.jpg">skin tone</a> you have. Once you've figured out whether you are warm or cool, you can begin your quest for the ultimate red lipstick! Above and below are examples of the reds you should aim for. I personally use Lancome's Code Red and I can't even tell you how many compliments I've received when wearing it.<br />
<br />
Warm Skin Tones: Orangey reds, Warm reds, Tomato reds, Brown based reds, Golden reds, Tawny reds.<br />
<br />
Cool Skin Tones: Pink tones of red, Berry Reds, Blackberry Reds, Brick Reds, Blue tones of Red, Plum tones.<br />
<br />
All Skin Tones: True Red (Think Fire Engine Red)<br />
<br />
*Fun Fact: Red lipsticks with blue undertones will make your teeth look whiter!<br />
<br />

When it comes to a cat eye, liquid liner is your friend. You want to start out by lining the inner corner of your eye. While keeping it close to the lash line, begin to drag the brush towards the outer corner of your eye. As you reach the end, flick your wrist towards your temple in order to achieve the perfect wing. If you extended the line too long, you can always use a q-tip to clean it up. For those who learn better visually (like myself) I posted a video below.<br />
<br />
As for different liquid eyeliners I tend to go for the drugstore brands. Look for ones that have short brushes. The shorter the better. If you want to spice it up, you could opt for different colors other than black. <a href="http://fruitybeauty.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/29/media_cardblackberrypicturesimg0005.jpg">Almay</a> has different eyeliners that correspond specifically to your eye color. If liquid eyeliner isn't for you, I suggest you try gel liner and use a thin angled brush.<br />

I can't believe spring break is almost over. This week flew by at warp speed. With that being said, I figured I'd do something a little different this Friday. In honor of this gorgeous weather I wanted to highlight some of my favorite things (I'll most likely indulge in them all today =)) <br />

<strong>Food</strong>: With spring and summer on their way, I can't help but look forward to fun fruity drinks (with or without alcohol). One of my all time favorites has to be lemonade. It's so refreshing and super easy to make! It's great as is but when combined with other fruits (ie. raspberries), the combination is heavenly. Below are some recipes worth trying out for yourself!<br />

<strong>Books</strong>: Since receiving a kindle for Christmas, I have become an avid reader and CANNOT wait to test it out this Summer while lounging out on the <strike>jersey shore</strike> beach! I don't tend to reread many books (unless they're my all time favs!) but I think I have to make an exception this time. Last year I got a hold of <span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Something Borrowed</span> by Emily Giffin and could not put it down! Recently a friend told me that the book has been turned into a movie and after seeing the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBmETBtjhRA">trailer</a> I can not wait to reread the book before the movie releases! If you haven't read the book I seriously suggest it, along with it's sister book<span style="color: #9fc5e8;"> Something Blue</span>.<br />

<strong>Music</strong>: As you know from my previous music posts I tend to favor songs that are remixed and this is no exception. I love love love Morgan Page and his remix of The Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition is so fun and upbeat! This is a definitely a song I would have blasting on my drive down the shore. Check it out along with his other <a href="http://soundcloud.com/morganpage">songs</a>.<br />

When it comes to hair, for me there's only one go to hairstyle: the braid. Braids are<strong> super super</strong> versatile. They can be simple or intricate as well as boho chic or uber glam. They work for <u>every</u> hair type, whether you have thin straight short hair or long thick curly locks. I think the braid craze really took off when LC (Lauren Conrad), started her cute little side braids, perfect for keeping your bangs out of your face, on The Hills. Since then braids have become the <em>perfect</em> accessory to make any look effortlessly cool or give a modern take on a updo for any red carpet event. Take a look below at the infinite braid possibilities. I didn't even know some of these were even possible!<br />

Are you a fan of braids? Do you have a favorite look? <br />

As you can see from my previous posts, I kind of have this magnetic pull to floral print and stripes. After trying out the gel nail polish manicure for the past 2 months, I started to get antsy and decided to remove them (worst idea EVER). As a result of Sunday boredom I decided to paint my nails due to a little photo inspiration (How friggin' cute are those cupcakes!?) and <a href="http://fuckyeahprettynails.tumblr.com/post/851577199">tutorial</a> help!<br />
<br />

<br />
Finished product! I think I could have been a little neater, but over all I'm pretty happy with the outcome =)<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you think? Have you tried to paint your nails different patterns and designs?<br />
