Sure, a cranberry or evergreen dress is the safest bet for your festive fête, but why should these hallmark hues get all the fun? Instead, update those tired trends for jewel-toned colors that won't make ya blend in with the garlands.

Our middle school Snowflake dance is coming up next friday.They say it's casual but people dress in really nice clothes and sometimes dresses.I have nice dressy black pants but I don't know what top to wear or shoes.Would black flats be best or should I do silver heels?Help!




Hey babe! 

I think you should go with silver heels! And as for a top - why don't you wear a pretty sparkly top? They're so in for the holidays this year and will make you stand out from the crowd! xoxox

I'm having a chorus concert and we have to wear all black.I want to wear a really good looking black dress that fits my body right and i'm curvy.Any ideas?




Hey babe! Get a plain black dress and add funky jewelry to it! You also can add a cool belt to draw attention to your little middle! Wearing all black is flattering on everyone, so it's fun to add your own personal touches to stand apart from the crowd! xoxox

this morning i kinda got in a fight with my mom and i said somethings i regret. I told her i was sorry and i wont say those things to her again she is still mad idk what to do!! help. im so sorry about it i regret saying that soo much. i was just really annoyed what do i do?




Hey girl,

Let some time pass for her to cool off. Then, when things are quiet, say calmly: "Mom, I just want to let you know that I really am sorry for getting so upset this morning. It wasn't right and you don't deserve that." Then walk away and let her process it. It's ok - we all say things like this in the heat of the moment. It's what you do AFTERWARDS to show her you're really sorry that counts <3
