Punk Concert (Breathe Carolina Related)

I was gonna go to a concert with my BFF but I found out that it was a We The Kings concert instead of a Breathe Carolina one like we planned so we didn't go but here was the outfit I was gonna wear. Items:

  • Black Halter Top (Old Navy)
  • Skinny Jeans (H&M)
  • Rainbow Stud Belt (Hot Topic)
  • Black Beanie/Beret (Hot Topic)
  • Black High Tops (JC Penny)
  • Hair Straightener
  • Black Eyeliner (Pencil)
  • Black Mascara
  • Sparkly, Light Pink Lipstick

Put on the outfit and then you straighten your hair (If you have long enough bangs, then put one side over your eye once you're done with make-up) and then for the make-up, look at my Emo Make-up tutorial and it is the same think basically. Then you put on the beanie/beret (it's a cross between the two) and then you lace up your high tops and you are good to go!

P.S. The reason why my make-up is different and my hair isn't straightened was just because I was trying the outfit on so my make-up is what it was for that day and my shirt is tucked in on the side that's facing the camera because the shirt was coverin the belt so I wanted the camera to see it.

Majestic Mermaid

Alright, ever wanted to dress like you were from the sea? Here's your chance! Items you need/the items I used:

  • White ruffle skirt
  • Yellow tank top
  • Blue, thin, see-through shirt
  • Black slip ons
  • Peach colored shawl
  • Native American Choker
  • Native American Anklet (Pearl and Coral)
  • Turquoise ring (silver band, don't leave a green band around your finger) (I always wear this)
  • Green Jeweled Clip
Now that you have that, get dressed. Next, tie the choker around your neck (not too tight, or you'll choke yourself (obviously, hence the name)), put on the shawl (see reference picture), put the anklet on your right ankle. The ring on your ring finger on your right hand and then twist your hair and put it up in the clip and you should be done. No make-up because I don't really put it on that much,

Hair: Hunger Games Clove Training Center Hairstyle

Another Tutorial! Yay! Anyways, we know how to do Clove's arena hairstyle but what about when she's training? Well, here are the materials you need:

Seven hair ties (six little one big)
Hairbrush

Now that sounds simple, it pretty much is. you take one side of your hair and split it into two little sections (see reference pictures below if you get confused) and tie a hairtie on the mini sections of hair, then take another one and tie the two sections together creating a small triangle, repeat on other side. Finally put your hair in a ponytail (she had hers in the middle of her head but I put mine in a low ponytail)
Mine looks demented because my hair has baby-fine strands and it's thick and it's really curly so yours will probably turn out different unless we have the same hairtype.


Fashion: Jazz Outfit

Alright, in December we had our dance recital and it was Jazz. This is how I did my hair/Make-up and my dress!!! Materials:

  • Black, ruffly mini dress that is a halter top
  • Black ribbon (I use ribbons as choker necklaces)
  • Comb
  • Hair Gel
  • Hairspray
  • Dark Brown Eyeliner
  • Peach Eyeshadow (Light and Dark Colors)
  • Tannish Blush
  • Chap Stick
Alright, put the dress on, tie the ribbon as a choker on your neck, and now the real descriptive stuff:
Hair-
Put your hair up in a high ponytail that goes at the base of your scalp (on the top of your head almost) and start backcombing it until you get it how you desire. Then you hairspray it into place so it won't get all jacked up. Next for the bangs, you take the gel and make 8 spikes for your bangs. Then you can move onto make-up.

Make-Up~
Apply the blush on your face and a little on your neck, next line the eyelid with the eyeliner (Not too thick or thin) and then put eyeshadow on your lid which would be peach and create a mix of light and dark peach (just a shade darker than the light)

Hair, Make-Up, and Outfit: Hip-Hop 'Genie'

It's the outfit I had to wear to my dance concert, I took Hip-Hop/Jazz (Jazz outfit I'll do next Wednesday). The only reason why I call it a Hip-Hop Genie was because it looks something a genie would wear, hence the hairstyle I did. Anyways, here is the stuff you need:

  • Four Hair Ties
  • White Vans (I think that's the type of shoes I wore, whatever, there's gonna be a pic anyways)
  • A White Tank Top With Silver Sparkles
  • Blue Harem Pants
  • Red, Sleeveless Jacket with White Ruffle Trip and Gold Buttons
  • Brown Eyeliner Pencil
  • Black Eye Shadow
  • Chap Stick
  • Purple Short-Shorts (I got mine from Pat's Dancewear, the harem pants are see-through to a point so I wore these under them)
  • Black socks that are for slip in shoes
Anyways, you put the outfit on, and now the hair: Put your hair up in a high ponytail while leaving two thick strands of hair framing your face, and put the next hair tie under that about an inch or so and pull the hair out until it looks like a little ball of hair (best described in my Hunger Games Clove Arena hair tutorial) and then you take the two strands of hair you left out and twist them into a rope braid.

Make-up: outline your top lids in brown eyeliner and then dust on some black eye shadow lightly so it isn't too dark like you have dark circles on your eyelid.

Hair and Make-Up: Emotive Hardcore

Ever wanted to be Emo? Well, here is how I did my hair and make-up! Items:

  • Flat Iron (hair straightener)
  • Black pencil Eyeliner
  • Black Mascara
First, straighten your hair, since my bangs are long when they are straight I usually have them over my left eye but you don't have to. Next you outline your whole eye in black eyeliner and make it kinda dark, finally you just apply lots of mascara to your lashes and you are done!

Cosplay: Elfen Lied Lucy

Have you watched Elfen Lied and admired Lucy's little black dress outfit? So did I and here is a cheap way to cosplay her without spending all the money for a professional cosplay. Let's start with what you need (because when I make a list it is easier to figure out if you are in a hurry)

1. Pink shirt with sleeves to your elbow that has a wide circle neck
2. Black tank top dress that goes to your knees or higher
3. Short, thin Red Ribbon (for your neck)
4. Two, thick lavender ribbons (I Imagine them silk)
5. Black and Grey(preferably dark grey) horizontal striped socks that go to your knees or higher or they could be stockings
6. Red, low heel slip ons
7. Scissors

Alright, now that we have that we can start with the instructions. This is buying all the things except you can make any of the ribbons yourself and you need to modify the socks/stockings. Buy a pink shirt (mentioned above with more detail), buy a black dress that is a tank top style that is form-fitting that goes to your knees or thighs, next buy black and grey striped socks/stockings, get the red heels, buy the ribbons and now you can start modifying.

Socks: put the socks on and stretch the front part of the sock on and make a little cut then put it back normally and cut around the top half, then repeat on the heel except on the bottom leave about two inches thick piece of fabric on the bottom, repeat on the other sock and your done.

Stockings: repeat all the steps above but then take the top part of the stockings and cut it into socks of your desired height (it's better to leave some fabric a little higher so you can make modifications with enough fabric) and your done.

Next, the wig. In this outfit you can use the short hair or long haired Lucy, doesn't matter. You can use whichever you like better, but the most identifiable in this outfit is short hair. If you just wanna do this for school (which is what I'm wearing on the first day) then you can use your regular hair (since they probably/most likely won't allow you to wear wigs at school)

And now, the ribbons!
Red: Take the thin red ribbon and tie it around your neck (not too tight otherwise (obviously) you'd choke yourself) and tie it in a bow in the front of your neck.

Lavender: take the two pieces of ribbon/fabric and tie it in a bow. Then take a clip and put it on the ribbons and place them in your hair/wig on the sides (their used to cover Lucy/Nyu's horns)

Below: something I put together on Polyvore.com to have as in example

Fashion: Death Note's Greatest Detective...L!

Alright, so I probably explained what Death Note was (an anime I love) in my previous posts that involve Misa Amane, or Misa-Misa, so I really hope I don't have to explain it, or you could search engine it. Anyways, have you ever wanted to dress like L? Or Cosplay as L? Well, here is the guide to having L's style whether it is Cosplay or your new style.

L's Style is very basic, as shown here:
So all you need is a baggy shirt with long sleeves that isn't a low cut/V-neck and is preferably white, baggy jeans that aren't too baggy (no gangsterness), and your bare feet. I'll be sure to explain the make-up in a different post :)
