uh oh.
Well ladies, Prom is upon us – mine is next Saturday, THAT’S A WEEK FROM TODAY!! I have nothing planned out! I haven’t even bought the dress yet. I’m doing hair at home, and probably just wearing my kicks. (Chucks, baby. Love that Pretty Punk look.) What is everyone else doing?? I picked a dress, but it’s from UO and the nearest one to me is 100 miles away, and I don’t have enough time to ship it anymore. So now I’m back to square one. 
Prom under $100

Again, bargain hunting at it’s finest! The accessories post was lots of fun, and it’s always great to spread the knowledge to other savvy shoppers, right? Though American Eagle and Forever 21 may not be the world’s best kept bargain shopping secrets, you can still find some chic and surprising things for less than you’d think! Another tip? Shop the men’s side!! I know, I know.. My sister refuses to shop with me because of this! She won’t even go to the mall with me anymore, but, lots of Women’s styles are influenced by Men’s styles, so why not? It’s usually cheaper anyways! Plus it’ll make you feel good when you find yourself in a XS.

So maybe in a few I’ll post some of my favorite cheap fashion finds?
I’m turning the idea over in my head as we speak. 
10 things (what are yours?)
10 Random things I’m diggin’ at the moment:
10) Tegan & Sara. (teganandsara.com) Cute and quirky! I’ve been into them for a while now, but it’s becoming an obsession. My favorites are Call it Off and Back in Your Head.
9) Nude nail polish. I’m a little behind on this trend. So what. Even better than nude polish is no polish, just pretty natural nails. But I’ll settle.
8) Those dresses with the big, big hips. Hot! I bet it would look weird on me though.
7) Moccasin Peep-toe Sandals from Anthropologie -
(cute, eh?)
6) Something Silver Jewelry Store (somethingsilver.com). So I got the cutest necklace of a little leaf there a few days ago for like sixteen dollars. I was amazed at my awesome bargain-hunting skills.
5) The under-eye smoky eye. Or whatever it’s called. Mary-Kate has been doing this one for a while (or is it Ashley?). It’s not that hard to pull off, as long as you use lighter liner than you usually would. (In my opinion it looks a lot better.) Powder works really good for me in brown, since I have the palest skin ever and dark green eyes. It always looks great!
4) Free People Clothing. (freepeople.com) I can’t really explain this one. It’s original, cute clothing (although it is pretty pricey..) that you can’t help but falling in love with. I really like the Farmer’s Daughter collection, along with We The Free which is kind of a.. “comfier” version of Free People. Plus, now they sell it at Nordstrom! (Finally!) It doesn’t get much better than this.
3) The Girls in the Beauty Department Blog @ Glamour.com. Best makeup, hair and skin advice. Get in on the Tanning Debate! (http://www.glamour.com/beauty/blogs/girls-in-the-beauty-department/2009/03/should-youngins-be-banned-from.html) (whewsh that’s a long link!)
2) CreateBlog. (createblog.com) Artist’s Heaven! Layouts for everything imaginable, Photoshop tutorials, Graphics, and lots more. Inspiration for anything artsy you wanna do, too! (Check me out! I’m tailoredtrouble, yes, named after the line in the song Liar from Taking Back Sunday.)
1) Exfoliating! Love. It. Never really been a big fan until lately. Only do it twice a week (underline underline underline.). Otherwise you can totally screw up your skin. But seriously. Who knew? This makes your skin look SO much better! It gets rid of the dead layer of skin that can clog pores and make you oily, and gets down to the beautiful, living, luminous layer underneath! Ahhhh exfoliating will save your life, I swear. Lush makes a great scrub, plus (as all things Lush are) it’s eco-friendly and vegan! HOORAY! (Oh and it smells like a margarita, but that’s another story…) http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/face/cleansers/ocean-salt
Okay so ladies and gents, what are your Random Top Tens?
Tell me Tell me Tell me, I wanna know!!

I can’t find the designer. It’s not up anywhere yet! Haha. I’m just too quick for my own good, I guess!
