I recently bought a pair of light brown/tan oxfords from JCPenny's. They are adorable but the problem is that I have NO IDEA what looks good with oxfords. Help? Thanks Smile btw, i'm really girly
xo




Hey chica! For a super-cute, girly look, you can wear your oxfords with funky tights and a short skirt or dress. You can also pair them with a short dress and skip the tights. Skinny jeans and capris look good, too, as long as your shirt isn't too dressy.

MODMODMOD!!
Hi! So I wanna get my eyebrows waxed (mine are really bushy,mishapen and half of one has a cow lick Frown ) but i'm afraid its gonna hurt really bad! I'm a wimp about pain but have any of you mods ever got it done? Is it worth it? Thanks Laughing




Hey girlie,

I get my eyebrows done every month! It's definitely worth it for a clean, precise brow line Smile A little tip: don't go just before/during/just after your period, because for some reason your body is more sensitive to pain. If you go in the middle of the month, it'll hurt less! You could also take a Tylenol or Advil when you get home, if it happens to be hurting bad. But remember it's usually just a sting when they pull the strips off - it only lasts a second and it's really not that bad Smile

I know winter/fall is a little ways away, but I have a few sweater dresses that I wear with leggings that go down to my ankles. I normally wear flats with them, but they hurt my feet unless i basically wrap my feet in bandaids. What are some cute shoes I can wear with them? THANKS!







Hey girl!  I LOVE high boots for winter and fall, you can wear them with anything!  You could also try shorter booties, which are very in for this fall.  Good luck! xxoo

i would wear only 3, 5 & 6. and truth be told, #4 looks like a pair of older women shoes. #1 looks like a tap shoe. and #2 are really cute. but are too patriotic for to wear to school, 2 months after that holiday. sorry. but i love the rest! <3

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
