3 ways to rock the nautical look this summer

Check these out, too...

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
In a sea of sundresses and shorts, our take on the classic nautical trend is sure to make you stand out. The sailor inspired vibe is all about flattering stripes and navy, white and red pieces that are sure to standout. Anchors aweigh! 

 

At brunch: Ahoy, ladies!

Pair crisp white skinnies with a striped tank for a lunch date with your besties. Add a pair of red flats or pumps to make your outfit really pop. A slouchy cut tank is more posh and less polished. Cool!

At the beach: Go overboard

Why not sport a sailor-themed bikini during your next beach day? Wide stripes not only look cute but also create the illusion of curves. Classic wayfarers and leather sandals polish off your preppy look.

At the biggest party of the summer: Set sail in color

While the rest of your crew sports micro-minis, a bold curve-hugging maxi dress is a great option to show off your bod without showing too much skin. Red and blue bands look gorge with an armful of gold bangles.

Ok so I have noticed these pimple looking bumps on my boobs could I have breast cancer?

Hey girl,

Breast cancer is lumps inside your breasts, so you probably just have a pimple that you can solve with body wash and lotion. To be safe, show the bumps to your mom or a doc and see what they say!

Tomorrow I am going to a festival. I want to look very cute!!!
What should I wear????

Hey girl,

Summer festivals are the time for casual chic, so why not go in shorts and a cute top, maybe a striped tee? You don't have to wear anything fancy, you want to be comfortable so you can have fun!

Hi, I was wondering what age you think is best to start wearing a push up bra? Thx!



Hey babe,

I would say whenever you feel it would be most comfortable.  I stayed in normal padded bras for about two years before I tried out a few padded ones.

Ooh, I love the dress and the navy outfit! I'm a curvy girl, but I'm not a prostitute, so why should I dress like one right? This dress is the perfect balance!

MOD! MOD! MOD!
HEY MODS! First off, I want to thank you guys for listening to my dilemnas. Next, I want you to help me with a couple. The first one I have is easy. You see, I want to go for the all out preppy look but I don't know how to apply the makeup. The next one: I am basically ignored in school. I hear people whisper my name as if they are gossiping about me. People pressure me to do things I don't want to do and then reject me if I don't do them. Can you help me out with those problems? I would be most grateful.

 

Hey chica! So glad to hear you like our advice!  Easy one first: Preppy looks are all about simplicity and timelessness, so keep your makeup to a minimum.  A little bit of foundation, blush, and a swipe of lip gloss are all you need.  If you want something for your eyes, try some mascara and a little bit of brown eyeliner right under your top lashes to make your eyes pop.  


The next one is a toughie- You absolutely shouldn't do anything you aren't comfortable with. If people are pressuring you to do something that is against your morals, stick by it.  But if people are encouraging you to step outside of your comfort zone (got see a scary movie, sleepover at someone's house, etc.) try it!  Keep your head high and be friendly- try to make some new friends who won't pressure you and then ignore you if you don't do exactly what you want. 

Good luck! xoxo

my mom wont let me wear makeup.... im only allowed a little pink lipgloss. i really wanna wear eyeliner cuz i have kinda small eyes. right now i use clearasil for my face but my moms gonna buy me the essentials line from clean and clear when im done. i have pimples under my eyes and whenever i wash under them i get a new pimple like right away. i really wanna wear concealer to hide my pimples and dark circles [i have them all day, its hereditary.] but she wont let me wear makeup. help!

 

Hey girlie! If you break out easily, especially under your eyes in a sensitive area, your mom is right for not letting you wear makeup.  Concealer is heavy and can make you break out even more!  If they pimples are really bothering you and won't go away, ask your mom if you can see a dermatologist about getting something a little stronger to help you out. Eyeliner actually makes your eyes look smaller and more closed, so if you want your eyes to look bigger, ask your mom if you can get clear mascara.  Mascara will help curl your eyelashes and make your eyes look more open! Plus, if it is clear, your mom may be cool with it because it won't look like you're wearing makeup.  Good luck!

The maxi dress makes the model look really tall, which is perfectly fine, but it's like...whoa she's tall.
