Cheap & Chic

Belt it out!

 
Buckle up, babe! Belts are in and little accents of buckles are cinching up our fave looks.
 
Latch on to this trend by snapping up cute clutches with bold buckles or dark bracelets with more subtle details. Gorgeous!
 
These flats are flat-out fabulous. The buckle adds slice of style and allows your tootsies to step-out from their usual black ballets. Pair them with tights and a dress or a blouse and skinnies and they will look oh-so completely classy.

The only thing trendier than this buckled up wallet is the cool blue hue. Stash your cash in it or sport it by itself to add a pop of bright to the bronzes and browns in your autumn outfits.


Buckled Envelope Wallet, $10, Forever21.com
 
Obvi, belts started the buckle trend. This season, we’re loving oversized ones on top of cute dresses or long tunics. Leggings are a must!


 BKE Basic Stretch Belt, $16, buckle.com

The perfectly plum bag will look so cute slung over your shoulder. It’s quilted and has hints of stylish buckles to edge up any getup you put on.

i can never find belts that fit. even when i buy a size small i put it all the way to the tightest hole and it's still to big. and i don't think size x-small belts exist. but kid's belts are too small. help!!!




I suggest that you find a best that has two d rings and its adjustable to any spot. Keep away from belts that have holes. Good luck! xoxo kerra

Heyy I wanna give myself a cute rocker makeover but I have no clue where to start! This adivce will help me out a lot! Thanks!




Hmm rockers like metallics and black. So i suggest you try silver and metallic eyeshadows with black eyeliner. Also look up rocker looks online and you'll see some ideas. Good luck! xoxo kerra

hey mod!
could you do an article about some cute boots that don't cost alot? i've been looking for some that sort of look like uggs, but there's no way my mom will get me those - too expensive! or, if there's other cute ones that you find, i'd love to see them! thanks!




Hey girl, that sounds like a great idea! I'll be sure to forward it! We have a couple fashion articles on ankle boots up already!

hey mod,
ok so my crush that i have liked for a year(jon) is now my friend and i still like him. we danced at homecoming and we see each other all the time. he knows i like him, but he is very stubnorn, I'M NOT GIVING UP!! but the problem is, i also have a crush on one of his best friends(mark). i liked both of them last year, but i ignored my feelings for mark because he had a girlfriend at the time. my friends think that i should tell jon, but i dont think he would care because we are "just friends". my friend jojo thinks that maybe he could help me figure out what to do since he is marks friend, but i dont know. now i dont know what to do, my friends all think i should tell mark i like him but i am not sure. please help me!! i still like jon and mark.
sorry its so long and confusing!




Hey girl! You should decide who you like more first! You don't have to rush just kind of take it day by day and then make a choice. Try to get to know them better while you try to make your choice!

Hey girlie,




Happy early birthday! If you want to do a boy/girl party outside of the house then go for pizza and a movie, go bowling, go roller skating, or have a little party at your house with snacks and movies and play games like truth or dare.




Have fun!

Okay my crush's b-day is on wed. (dont ask me how I know that) i wanna make him a card but i dont know what to put in the card. (he doesnt know that i like him) and im not very artistic. Should i tell him that i like him? Should i put mu name in it? Please help! Thanks!




Hey girl! I won't ask how you know that (although I used to know when my crush's birthday was too, so no worries). I think it's a great idea you want to make him a card, and you should definitely put your name in it. If you spend all that time making him a card, he should know who it's from. I would keep the message short and sweet... something like "Happy Birthday. Hope you have a fantastic day!" or something like that. It doesn't matter if you aren't that artistic. I'm sure he will appreciate whatever you draw. (It's not too hard to draw balloons!) Have fun!

XOXO

Hey girl! You can try wrapping your hair around a curling iron for a few secs then spritzing it with some hair spray. Run your fingers through you hair and wear it kinda messy for a wavy/curly look!

MOD*MOD*MOD okay, so i got sum issues. So theres these 2 guys (fred and bob) and these 2 girls (suzie and sara). okay, so sara HATES bob, but he duznt kno it. she pretends theyre friends. i dated bob a few yrs ago, but not for long. bobs also my friend. plus, my friend suzie and saras friend fred like eachother. hes fixing to ask her out. now, me and sara cant get dates to homecoming, so we were planning to skip it and hav a sleepover. so we were on the phone, and sara was OBSESSING over the fact tht fred hasnt asked suzie out yet. Then, suzie starts blaming ME for the fact tht fred hasnt asked suzie out!!! i said tht just bc i leave duznt mean suzie will be alone, plus im not gona ditch my friend, and sara said tht fred was complainin bc he was supposedly gona ask her out but he didnt wanna do it in front of me. i doubt tht was true, cuz why wld he wanna do it in front of all our other friends AND his friends AND suzies brother but not me, but i jus said "whatever, freds being a baby". then she told me to stop hanging out with suzie so fred cld ask her out alone. suzie told me tht sara was getting all up in her business, so i passed along the msg (in a nicer way). finally sara dropped it. but the nxt day, she told me tht bob likes me again, and he wanted to go to homecoming with me. i said im not going to homecoming, and she said 'oh, u shld go' and told bob i didnt like him tht way but i wld go to homecoming with him as a friend, even after i told her not to!!! now shes obsessing over me and bob!!! idk wat to do! i rly dnt even wanna go to homecoming, but now im kinda obligated to. im so mad at sara! plus, now shes whining about her not having a date. i told her we shld jus skip homecoming, but now she RLY wants to go. she jus keeps saying "i cant believe YOU can get a date and i cant! how did u get a date and not me!" i said "what, am i ugly or sumthing?" she jus sighed and said "no, im jus bummed tht i cant get a guy" even tho like three guys asked her and she said now cuz back then she wanted to skip homecoming. wat do i do? sorry dis is so long and confusing! i rly wanna tlk to my bff but she wont answer her fone! plz gimme advice!

 

Hey girl! Try texting her or getting a hold of her to talk it out. Sounds like every one wasn't communicating well so you should try to get the info from everyone individually. Don't be upset about going to homecoming, just focus on having fun (which you will)!

MOD! I have thick, curly hair. I have it at about shoulder length. It gets super frizzy. People have suggested about fifty different hair products to try, some of which I hadn't heard of until the brought it up. Anti-frizz cream, hair gum, fiber putty, anti-frizz shampoo, mousse, and curl scrunching gel. It doesn't help all that much. What should I do?

 

Hey girl! Hmmm...go with one product or the other. Smooth in some gel or mouse when you get out of the shower. If it's still not working try seeing a stylist and getting their opinion!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD! it seems like one of my close friends in our group treats our group like her second-choice friends. she has a huge group of really close friends outside of school and she hangs out with them a lot. last school year on the last day, she was chose to go to one of those friend's party instead of our group's sleepover, but that party was cancelled so she came to our sleepover instead, as her "backup plan". it seems like she's always choosing them over us, i understand she doesn't get to see them as much but she hangs out with them every weekend and never with us. i want to mention it to her without seeming needy or anything. have any suggestions? thanks!

 

Hey girl! Hmm...that's tough. I would say you could mention something to your girl. Tell her you miss her being around on the weekend nights. Try asking her to hang out Friday night and then she can hang with her other friends Saturday. Let her know you miss spending time with her!

if i like the same guy as my friend, should i tell her? she told me she liked him last week, and i've been helping her try to get his attention, but along the way i started liking him too a little. i feel bad and i wish i didnt, but i can't help it! she would get really mad if she found out, and i kinda want to flirt and get to know him better. should i tell her or just try to ignore him? thanks!!




Yes, you should tell her if you can't ignore your feelings.  Let her know you're falling for the same guy, and you don't want a guy to get in the way of your friendship.

You could try a smoothing hair balm to help with frizz and fly-aways. Try using the hair cream when you blow-dry your hair, and then apply anti-frizz serum afterwards to your dry locks.

Hey babe! You could try black eye-liner and light purple eye-shadow, with red lip stick? If you think the red lip stick will be too much, you could try pink lip gloss.

I am in high school now and want somthing not so litte kid-ish, but I don't want to spend a lot of money. Do you have any suggestions?

You could stick to a color scheme that is still bright, but involves fewer colors. For example: if you pick Blue, you could decorate with shades of blue. (rather than have pink, blue, orange, yellow, purple..etc)

A subtle way is to say you've been working on adding contacts to your phone list, because your contacts deleted, and you noticed you didn't have his number. If you don't want to lie, just tell him: You noticed you didn't have his number, and see what he says!

You could let your mom know you're interested in wearing make-up and ask her for some tips or some help! Let her know you want to wear it for YOU, and you like how it looks when you wear it! Try not to worry about your brother, he's probably just being over-protective.

Hey girl! If you're interested in singing, you should definitely try it! Try asking your mom when it's just you and her together. Let her know how you feel and that you're really determined to try! Smile

I think but don't know if he likes me cause every class i have with him, we talk away. And, Every day he comes over to my locker and updates me on what's going on or where he's gonna go on next vacay. WHAT SHOULD I DOOOO?

 

Don't let the guy get in between you and your BFF.  Maybe you could let your BFF you're crushin on this guy, and then try to keep chatting with him and see if it's mutual! Smile
