Rockin' Lockers

 
Summer's over, so it's back to the halls. Luckily, you can have your own little slice of school lookin' just the way you want it!  
 
Deck out your locker to make it totally fab and absolutely functional. 


 
Photo Opp!

 
Make DIY frames out of colorful paper to add splash to that gray metal door.  Every time you open your locker, you'll be greeted with their gorgeous faces instead of those drab textbooks.

Here’s lookin’ at you!
 
Instead of making a trip to the girls' room between classes, take a quick sec to check your hair, make up or pearly whites at your locker.  
 

 
 
Be prepared
 
Lockers can be stylish, but most importantly they need to be functional.  Don't worry about running out of lunch money or tampons, just keep a few spares in your locker. That way, if you need something like NOW, you'll be totally ready! Stow it all away in a neat wire basket.

I have a really glam, shiny pink pouches and Mirror set for my locker at school!

Glamno5 on 10/25/2009 12:33:36 PM

Now they make locker wall paper tht's magnetic.
u just place it on the back and bottom,the back is a magnet so it sticks
it's really cool.

dina22464 on 9/11/2009 4:45:13 PM

I totally need the mirror, basket, and magnets. My locker is so Blah right now!

elizagurl on 9/6/2009 11:50:08 AM

Okay so I know this had nothing to do with the locker thing but I really want contacts but 1. I'm afraid to touch my eye to put it in and take it out 2. I don't know if they'll look good for sure 3. They're kind of expensive and I don't really have the money right now. I mean I love my glasses but I don't know I just you have to have them to know how much they suck. Well I guess they're okay but yeah. I wanted to get them the summer after 8th grade so that it would be something new for high school but a girl in my class got them and now I kind of want them. PLEASE REPLY!!

smileygirl:D on 9/3/2009 7:19:48 PM

i never decorate my locker... last year my friend did it for me LOL!!! i might put up like 2 pictures this year lol but for me my locker's just for putting stuff in and takin it out!!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD Help!! Okay, so, at my school we have to wearthese really really ugly uniforms, inclding specified dress shoes. We're not even allowed to wear alot of jewelry!! What can I do t still look cool? Also, I need some new outfits that I can wear on weekends and stuff. I'm NOT Rocker, I'm kind fo a mix of girly and sporty, and very fun. I'm about 95 lbs (age 14). I have a REALLY small chest, and only slight hips. What can I wear that will flatter my figure and look super cute?? Thanks so much!!!




Hey girl, when it comes to school uniform fashion, try demure accessories and cute hair-dos (mix it up with fun accessories). I actually wrote a series on school uniform fashion, so check  the pieces out http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/08/03/school-uniform-bottoms.aspx and http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/07/28/school-uniform-accessories.aspx for ideas. As for that weekend outfit, go for a tank dress. Way in and way flattering to any figured, the dress looks great with just about anything. When it comes to fashion, girlie, the best thing you can do is mix and match and be creative. You're bound to look great, fashionista!

Hey babe! Headbands are great for uniforms because they change it up a bit without going too far! Def try those! Any belted shirts would look great and give you some curve!

ohemgee95 on 8/27/2009 10:59:25 AM

i love all of these!!! except the wallpaper cause its pretty hard to get off at the end of the year.. and even though im going in a new building this year (our old one was ancient LOL) we have even smaller lockers. and locker buddies!! Frown and 4 some reason last yr (well this is kinda my fault) people wrote all over my stuff like my locker mirror and white board and it cant even come off!! some people wrote on my ACTUAL locker too hahaha XD

peace and luv<3

moondance17 on 8/26/2009 4:50:07 PM

Also, last year my friend bought magnetic wallpaper from staples and it looked so cute! everyone commented about it and they have so many designs and its easy to remove!

alliecat1010 on 8/26/2009 3:19:46 PM

Also try adding wrapping paper to your locker on the inside if your school allows you. magnet tape is a great thing to buy as you can add it to backs of pictures and wrapping paper. hope the year rocks!!

smileyjess123 on 8/26/2009 1:27:42 PM

I hate the locker shelves that you can buy at meier and stuff.they're so cheap, it drives me insane. For the last three years every single shelve I've bought has colapsed!!!
I think decking out locker too much is pointless though. I mean, you have to take it down at the end of the year.
And wallpaper rips really easily too.
I'm not trying to be negative, but seriously.haha.

So umm... i don't really know what to wear on hte first day of school cause i have a sort of cubbby figure and sometimes i don't always fit the things that i want to wear so what should i wear on the first day of school that won't make me look fat? but also is kind of cheap?




Hey babe,

Basic A line dresses or shirts are great for curvier shapes! You can get them practically anywhere.

Hey,
To decorate your locker it has to be you!
Last year I found this giant locker magnet at CVS!
I cut it out to fit the back side of my Locke and it is so cool!
I love to cover my locker in magnets not stickers cuz they take 4eva to get off!
A way to day happy birthday to a friend is to decorate the frog of there locker with wrapping paper and every1 in school know it is there bday!

polarbearluv7 on 8/25/2009 6:27:30 PM

THANK U! I needed this REAL bad... last year i didn't even use my locker and it was totally bad! Thanku again!

1cutiepie24546 on 8/24/2009 9:22:39 PM

i love the mirror, magnets, and hooks.. the paper is pretty but i cant glue a sheet of wallpaper on my locker!! i dont like the basket cuz if my crush came by and saw tampons sticking out of it... lol and also they might fall out through the holes when u open ur door

daisyviolet840 on 8/24/2009 2:25:43 PM

I Love that Mirror but i never buy things online so i'll never see it =(

magicheart107 on 8/24/2009 11:02:25 AM

We only have P.E. lockers. Its not fair. We have TONS of lockers in our school and a new school was built because our school was starting to get over crowded. Theyre not letting us have lockers for "hall safety." I wish I did have one. Especially since my classes are like really close to each other.

Kaela :0) on 8/24/2009 9:42:39 AM

I always tape on some really cool looking wrapping paper on the door of my locker (we have the tall ones) and then hang mirrors and pencil holders and dry erase boards and stuff. Wrapping paper makes a boring locker look awesome INSTANTLY!

Mespirita on 8/23/2009 11:20:04 PM

I like to put a bunch of cute magnets in my locker.I also like to get those whiteboard sticker things so i can write down reminders and notes,it's also fun to have ur frinds write funny messages on them too.

*Alice Cullen* on 8/23/2009 9:04:59 PM

Girlys, for all u fashionistas out there that luv checkin there hair, make up, or just impressing ur friends, at staples for less than $10 there is a mirror that is a white board on the outside, and it opens up to 3 lite up mirrors! and I <3 fall so I got a clip on scent bug from bath and bodyy works so my locker wil smell warm, cozy, and fab. but check with a teach. to make sure it is alright. my mom is principal, and she said it was fine. it comes in a ton of scents. see ya girlys!

i<3pigs on 8/23/2009 8:03:18 PM

these r good ideas and all, but im not sure how big u guys think the locker are, tht basket wouldnt fit even if u put 2 of my skl's locker 2gether!

cheer!360 on 8/23/2009 5:45:09 PM

argh, i dont really buy stuff online. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO GET A GOOD LOCKER MIRROR. the cheap one i got last year fell off everytime i opened or closed my locker!!!

pandaluver8166 on 8/23/2009 2:47:08 PM

How come you can't decorate a bottom locker? This is the second year I've had a locker, and I've had a bottom locker both years. Of course, there's only about 65 people in my grade, so nobody has the locker above me. There's like 50 empty 6th grade lockers at my school!

countrycutie97 on 8/23/2009 12:34:00 PM

Our lockers come with hooks. We have to buy a shelf and we keep books, backpack, and P.E. shoes in it. This year I bought this set that had a big metal shelf, a magnetic mirror and organizer for the door, and four magnets. Everything is pink with owls on it- it's really cute.

countrycutie97 on 8/23/2009 12:14:59 PM

I am gonna make a collage of all these hot guys so on dreary hard days i can cheered up! edward cullen and jacob black anyone! =P

sarah_96 on 8/23/2009 11:38:34 AM

I am TOTALLY going to follow these tips this year for my locker!!! Thanks so much GL!

AcePrincessGal on 8/22/2009 8:48:12 PM

I made a real cute collage (i hope i spelled that right) on a poster board the size of my locker with pics from this magazine and from my computer and i know everytime I'll look at it one of the pics will make me smile!

I loooooove the mirror.

Twilight_LovE_Fanpire01 on 8/22/2009 1:46:29 AM

i got the most awesome mirror ever! it is pink & it has lights on it! & for something lil extra i put a ribbon on it with a little flower! so so so cute!

irelin on 8/22/2009 12:53:04 AM

Now that I'm done with explaining that question I'll comment on the actual article! haha.

Those are all really great suggestions!
What I do is I have a couple magnetic wire baskets that you put on the door of the locker && one of them has a mirror on it, just like GLs suggestion!
And I also like to take index cards and colored pens and write my favorite quotes or bible verses with designs around them and it looks really cute along with my pictures of friends. Plus whenever I'm feeling "down" I can just look up at those quotes and I'm re-asured that everything's going to be ok! It's like a decoration pick-me-up!
And that suggestion to keep extra stuff you might need in a box or something in your locker is great! I'm going to do that! I've lost count on how many time's I've forgotten my lunch money!

srs1367 on 8/22/2009 12:15:34 AM

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me with something? My mom told me today that she's not getting enough work and if it keeps up this bad we may not have enough money to keep the house. But a friend of hers has a position for her in Virginia (I live in MA)which would mean alot more work and alot more money, which would mean we could keep the house. My mom gave me the option of moving to virginia with her. I think it would be a great oprotunity for me because I've really been wanting a fresh start. Totally reinvent myself. But at the same time I think I'd really miss my 2 BFFs. I'm going into my sophmore year so it would be stressful academically too. My parents are getting seperated though and my dads staying here for HIS job, so I could always come back on vacations and stuff and see my friends then, but still I'd miss them! What do you think? should I move or not?

 

Hey girl, this is really a personal descision. But just because you move doesn't mean you have to loose contact with your BFFs. You can always text, call, email and write them. Don't forget about Facebook and Myspace too. With all that you can still check up on how their lives are going and what they're doing. And you'll always get to visit! One thing to consider when making your descision, is think about how your choice will affect the rest of your life. If you stay, how will you and your mom be affected? Will it be harder for you guys than it would've been if you moved?

MOD I have no idea what to wear for the first day of school. I have an athletic figure, what should I wear? If you could answer that would be great!

 

Hey chicky, since you have more of an athletic build, you should stay away from tight fitting tops. Instead look for cute button downs and trouser style jeans! Smile

Sportygirl <3 basketball on 8/21/2009 11:49:39 PM

can you please help me? I want to decorate my cubby but I can't think of any idea's! (this is in my school) thanks! If you want you can put your answer on my profile it's always_running thanks again!

 

Hey girl, try cutting out some of your fave pics from magazines and hanging them up in your cubby. It will look really original and unique!

Lynae P.

always_running on 8/21/2009 11:00:28 PM

MOD MODD MODD~~ i am 5'1" and 126 lbs and i am 13 is that overweight???

 

Hey girly, it's a little hard to tell because everyone's bod is different. What might be overweight for you, may be underweight for someone else. As long as your healthy you're fine! Smile

Try rubbing alochol on it or let a piece of ice sit on it!

MODMODMODMODMODMODMOD!!!!! Okay, so I wanted to know how to give myself a spa day at home because the one in the mall closed. =(( so can you give me some tips? THANKS

 

Hey girly, well start with your head and work your way down to your feet. Wash your hair with some conditioning shampoo, then clean your face (use an exfoliating mask if you have one), wash your bod in either a soapy bath or hot shower, then give yourself a mani and pedi. There you guy your own original spa day! Smile
