Dealing with heartbreak

Hey style choicers. I've been quite absent for the past week, and if I'm honest, it's because I've been dealing with a rough break up. Most of us girls have gone through the feeling, and if not, well you're just lucky then. It's a feeling of being unwanted, wondering if you weren't pretty enough, funny enough, sweet enough, whatever it is that makes you feel rough, it's not true. Your mind convinces you that the reason he broke up with you was because you weren't good enough. That's totally the wrong way to think about it, because why else would he go out with you in the first place? You've got to realise that he's just not right for you. It's nothing to do with the way you look or act the majority of the time. It's tough, it really is. I honestly miss my boyfriend like crazy, but it's just life I'm afraid. Heartbreaks are what make finding the right one for you so much better. I recommend not going out and dating anyone under the sun, because this'll only make it worse for you. Every time you go out with someone, you're letting them into your heart. It shouldn't just be for the heck of it. After a break-up, I recommend boy detox. I've started boy detox, which means I'm not going to date anybody for 6 months at the least, and even when I do, I'm going to make sure I trust them with my heart. This hasn't been easy for me to write, because I'm still struggling. I dated the same person for the last 5 months, and I honestly wasn't expecting him to break my heart anytime soon. Never take love for granted.

Back-2-School: The mindset

Hey style choicers! So we've all got the outfits, the makeup, and the supplies all set for starting school, but so we have the mindset? Are you ready to take back on the crazy world that we call school?

School can be very very hard. It can be challenging, not only in the classroom, but with friends, other girls, other guys, many many things make school seem like the worst thing on Earth at the time. What you need to realise is that you are so blessed to go to school. The amount of people who've never gone to school before is shocking, especially when you realise that most of those children can't even read and write. You need to realise that there are bigger issues in life than the teacher who talks for a full hour, or the girl who said you weren't pretty. Life has ups and downs, and trust me, you'll make it out alive. Remind yourself that once you finish school, you will be so glad if you tried your best, because then you can get in an amazing university, and move on to an amazing career that you love. Isn't that how you want to spend your future?

I know this post was a little more personal, but leave me a comment if you like posts like this!

Back-2-School: Supplies

Hey style choicers! Sometimes, buying the right school supplies can be tricky, because sometimes, it's hard to tell what you do and don't need. English school and American school are very different, but I've tried to pick supplies that would be useful for all types of schooling.

• Lots of pens. Usually, black pens are the most useful, so have about three of them. Also, red and green pens can be used for marking your work, so it's good to have one of at least one of those. You never want to be left without a pen to use. This can get you into big trouble, so make sure you've got back-ups!
• A couple pencils. If you're going to be drawing graphs or doing art, you're going to need a few pencils to use. Make sure you always have extra, just in case!
• A rubber (Aka eraser.) This will be helpful so you don't have to call a teacher everytime you need to rub something out. If you have your own, you don't need to borrow other peoples, which will save you a lot of time.
• A sharpener. Make sure you're prepared. If your pencil breaks, and you've lent your back-up to someone else, this is going to come in handy.
• A scientific calculator. Once you're in the higher school years, you're going to need  one of these. It's used in both math and science. You're going to need it on tests, and most of the time, they aren't aloud to lend you scientific calculators for tests, so you need to have one with you.
• Highlighters. These are useful if you're doing a book study, a poem study, or anything that needs anylising. I find my highlighters ALWAYS run out halfway through the year and I need to buy more, because I use them so often for the work.
• Ring-binders. Folders are so useful when you've got lots of worksheets that are useful for revising, or if you're doing a project that requires alot of paper. It's easy to use because you just slot the paper into the poly pocket and put it inside the folder. This means that everything is sorted together. You can keep it at home, which would probably be easier, but if you were required to take it to school for marking, it's easy to take to school aswell.

Thats the basics of school supplies that I always make sure I have, but you probably will have to make slight alterations to this depending on how your school works.

Back-2-School: Makeup

Hey style choicers! It's hard to know the right kind of makeup to school. Everything seems either too much or too little, and you get both extremes. I think it's best to lean towards less makeup, but still wear enough to be comfortable. I'm going to show you my makeup look that I think is perfect for school.

1. Apply concealer to spots and dark under-eye circles.
2. Apply matte powder to  your nose, forehead and chin.
3. Suck in your cheeks and apply blush to your cheekbones. (Make sure it's a natural colour)
4. Add (clear?) mascara and/or brown eyeliner.

 
I know this makeup look is alot more natural than lots of people go for, so obviously lots of people wouldn't want to follow this, but the danger of wearing lots of makeup at a young age is underage wrinkles. Plus, piling on too much makeup results in more spots, so yes, my steps are flexible, but don't wear TOO much makeup at a young age.

This was a short post, but I'll have a longer post up soon about back-2-school supplies.

Back-2-School: Accessorize your uniform

Hey style choicers! Today I wanted to talk about styling your uniform. It's tricky because there are so many boundaries, but there are small ways to stop yourself from looking completely like a clone. If you don't have a uniform, feel free to read this anyway for tips on how to add cute accents to boring outfits.


1. Add cute earrings. Most schools don't let you wear anything other than studs, but you can get some gorgeous little studs that reflect your style perfectly. You can get fun little ones from Forever 21, or you can get more expensive ones, but not too expensive, because you never know when a stud can go missing.

2. Use a school bag which expresses your style. For some schools, you can have pretty much anything for your school bag, and for others, it's very limited, but try to find a school bag which shows off the kind of things you like. Make sure it's still practical though, to fit in books, supplies, and anything else you need. You can find school bags all over the place, just look for any bag that can fit A4 paper and you're garunteed to find something your style!

3. Pick some fun shoes. I've always loved looking for school schoes. The limitations are usually colour, fabric and style. The best options are usually black (faux) leather ballet flats, brogues and loafers. You can usually find some with cute little accents, like bows, zips or studs, and you can usually follow some trends with them. I love the shoes from New Look, Forever 21, and Asos.

4. Accessorize with your hair! Most of the time, the limiations on hair styles are quite limited, so you can style your hair in a way that makes you feel like yourself! Hair is a great way to show style, whether it's boho, girly, urban, rocker, whatever your style, there's always a hairstyle to match! You can add bows, hairbands, flowers, whatever you want to give your hair some extra style!

So those were 4 tips on how to stay chic in uniform! Hope you liked this, because the style of this post was a little different. Remember to vote on the new poll, these determine the kind of posts I do, and plus, I love knowing about YOU!

Back-2-School: Finding the right outfits (Non-uniform)

Hey style choicers! I figured that since it's that time of year, I should do a few back to school posts on everything from finding the right outfits, to buying the right equipment. Now I live in England, where there are school uniforms, but I figured I can do one post on styling if you  haven't got a uniform, and another post on how to accessorize your uniform if you have one.

If you're lucky enough to not have a uniform, it's still important that you dress appropriately for school. Most schools have simple rules like you can't show your shoulders or too much of your leg, so I've got 5 tips, and then I've put together an outfit for inspiration! ☺

Top tips:
1. Stick to the basics. When you go shopping for school clothes, by a bunch of simple things that can be worn with a bunch of different things. This should include: Bright coloured tshirts/tank tops, black leggings/treggings, skinny jeans (Make sure they're comfortable and in a colour thats wearable for lots of different outfits), etc.

2. Buy cute flats. Most of the time, you're not going to feel like wearing heels to school, so if you buy lots of adorable flats, boots, sneakers, etc, then you'll have no problem going without a heel everyday!

3. Try not to spend loads of money on current trends. If you blow all your school-clothes-buying money on the latest trend, you'll wear it a few times in the school year and then you'll never wear it again, so if you want to be trendy, invest in classic trends that never go out of style.

4. Explore different looks. Use old pieces that you never wear to try out different styles. If you have that old childish skirt your grandma got you, wear it with a tank top, a leather jacket, and lace up boots. It's as simple as that. There are more ways to pair something than you think when you get given something you may not like, or you buy something that you regret buying. Just be daring!

5. Tights are you're new best friend. You don't have to pack away all your shorts, skirts and dresses for the fall. To wear a summer dress/skirt into the fall, all you have to do is add a pair of tights and a cardi/jacket.

This is my boho back to school look. I love this because it's so effortless and it would be adorable with natural looking wavy hair and simple makeup. I made this on my polyvore, and I'll be doing a different style B-2-S look every day for the next few days, so if you liked this one and want to see some more, there's always a link to my polyvore below.

Commitments

Hey style choicers! I want to talk about something a bit more serious, and thats making commitments. Lately, I've been really challenging myself on commitments. I kept saying to myself: "Ok, I need to write on Style Choice now!" and then I'd stare at the empty screen wondering what to write. Also, I'm in a relationship now where I feel like I need to be mature and committed. You may think thats obvious, but to be commited in a relationship is difficult. It's easy to find yourself making mistakes, like dishonesty or distrust. This is a personal thing, but I feel like every girl needs to know that if you love who you're in a relationship with, to be truthful, trustworthy and avoid jelousy, it can be hard, but you'll try your best to stay away from those things, because you don't want to let a relationship slip away because of carelessness. Another commitment is work. Whether it's for a job or for school, you need to be committed. It will pay off, even though it seems hard at the time! Basically, the point of this post is that I want to help all girls to realise that laziness and apathy are traits that should be gotten rid of, because they set you up for failure. Be committed in all that you do and you will live a life full of successes and happiness.
