Packing tips

Hey style choicers! I'm going on holiday soon, back home to NJ to visit my friends and family. I'm so excited, so I decided to do a couple holiday videos on packing, what to wear, beach tips, etc etc. I've been going abroad since I was a little kid, so I'm pretty good at packing (If I do say so myself.) I've picked up some pretty useful tips over the years.

  • Make a packing list. You never want to get to your destination and realise you forgot something, so keep a packing list so that everytime you go abroad, you know what to bring. You'll probably need to add or take away things each time because each holiday will be a little bit different, but then, you're not in danger of forgetting something important.

  • Bring lightweight clothes. It's important to remember that you have to stay under a certain weight if you want to avoid having to pay lots of money. If you need to bring thick clothes, try not to bring too many clothes, to avoid having a heavy AND stuffed suitcase.

  •  Don't put anything too valuble in your suitcase. Sometimes, things in suitcases can get stolen, and you don't want to put a laptop in there and find it stolen when you get your suitcase back. Bring your valubles in your hand luggage, because this way, they can't get stolen.

  •  If you're planning to do some shopping, bring less outfits than days you'll be there. You're going to want to wear the new clothes you bought, so take that into consideration when you're packing. You don't want to end up bringing too many clothes so you don't have enough room on the way back!

  •  Only bring essential makeup items. Limit yourself to one makeup bag, because chances are, if you're in the hot summer sun, you aren't going to want to wear buckets of makeup. Bring enough for a natural look in the day, and a more fun look for the night. Don't try to bring enough to make 30 different makeup looks!

  •  Bring versatile clothes. If you bring a couple tops, jeans, shorts etc that can be mixed in different combinations to make more than one outfit, you won't need to pack as much! As a mentioned before, the emptier your suitcase on the way there, the more shopping you can do!


 Hope these tips help you when you go abroad! Let me know any other posts you'd like me to do on the theme of holidays before I leave.

Thanks for reading! ☺

The top 3 at the Teen Choice Awards

Hey Style Choicers! This week, I was planning an outfit week, but then I realised it was the week of the Teen Choice Awards, and I didn't want to pass up having a couple special posts devoted to the fashion of the awards. I loved how versatile the styles were this year! There wasn't just one single trend shown throughout the 'pink' carpet, there were several! I was so excited to share with you guys my top 3 outfits of the evening.

#3- Carly Rae Jepsen
 Carly Rae Jepsen looked absalutely stunning! She combined fun patterns with fashion basics, and created a fun and original look, which I fell in love with the moment I saw it! She did a great job at mixing personal style, trends, and basics, which can sometimes be hard to do!

#2- Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift looked adorable. She had such a simple outfit, which is what made it so beautiful. She just wore a simple nude dress and heels with a lovely little bag, and she made it work more than most people could! And my favourite part of the outfit was the unexpected cutout in the back of the dress. I saw it just from the front and loved it, but I loved it even more once I saw the back of the dress!

#1- Victoria Justice
I've been really loving asymmetric hemline. I've also been loving high neckline AND I've been loving fun patterns. As you'd expect, when I saw this dress, I got so excited! Seriously, I am dying to own that dress now. She looked absalutely gorgeous, I think you'd agree. Victoria Justice really stood out for me!

Who do YOU think looked the best at the teen choice awards? Do you agree with me, or do you have another favourite?

If you want to make this outfit even more casual, add some fun but casual arm candy, give yourself the tousled beach waves, and make your makeup natural and summery.

Look for Less: Jennifer Lawrence

Hey style choicers! I've got another look for less for you guys today. I've been really loving these lately, because celebrity style is so original, because they wear outfits that lots of people wouldnt dare wear, but even if we wanted to, we probably couldn't wear these outfits because they're usually pretty expensive! I found an adorable Jennifer Lawrence look that she wore to the Dior show in Paris, and I wanted to give you an idea of how you could re-wear this look!

This look is very 50's to me, with the extravegant flared skater dress, but she's made it more sophisticated with nude heels and a cute white purse. I'm in love with this look!

Dress-
£55 from Miss Selfridge

Shoes-
£38 from Dorothy Perkins

Bag-
£24 Miss Selfridge

Hope you liked this look for less! I loved finding different pieces that were similar to Jennifer's outfit!

Happy 4th of July!

Hey Style Choicers! So I don't know if you know this, but I'm American and live in England, and spending The 4th Of July in England is not the most fun in the world, because hardly anybody even knows what it is... I've been struggling to feel festive, and it doesn't help that I'm sick at the moment! So, I decided to wish everybody a happy Independance day, because I was hoping this would get me in the mood. I've had to take a day off, so I'm sitting at home today in my American flag jersey, and trying to incorporate red white and blue into everything I do. Hope you guys are having a better Independance day than I am! Hahaha
