Dream On, Go Go Girl

Sorry I've been checked out of Blogger for awhile, but I am back with a blog post! I recently made a youtube account for when I post videos and you can go check that out here. My screen name is PeaceJess123. Hopefully video quality and my awkwardness will improve. ;)
Yesterday I went to Walgreens to restock on some things including nail polish. Oh, how would we live without nail polish? I have my toes and fingers painted all of the time and I have a good amount of polishes. I've really been liking the colors from Sinful Colors and since Walgreens was having a 2 for $3.00 sale on Sinful Colors polish, I had to pick some colors up. I got Dream On and Go Go Girl and they're really nice colors. They go on smoothly, the brush is well designed, and I just really like it.

I've really been digging the matte suede nail polishes by OPI as well. I have the dark green one, Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow, and am in love with it. I also have one from Revlon that's red but it's not as matte so I recommend OPI. Whoop whoop!!!


Okie dokie, that's all that I have for today. Leave a comment, subscribe to my youtube, and follow me on blogger!

Lemme know what your favorite nail polishes are right now in the comments. Maybe I'll try 'em out!

Video is Working!: Jess Tries to Haul

I finally got video worked out! Blogger wasn't letting me upload so I decided to make a YouTube account. My screen name is PeaceJess123 and I hope you enjoy. I'll prolly be doing hauls, silliness videos, fashion "lookbooks", trend videos, and maybe a vlog or two. All the videos that I upload to my YouTube account, I will link to this blog.
This first video goes with a post I did earlier so I'll link that here.

Summer Playlist 2011

Since the summer is in full swing right now, I thought I'd make a playlist of some songs I'll be listening to lots this summer. As the summer progresses, I'll probably find more songs to recommend so I will make another summer playlist post if that is the case. For right now, here are some favs:

Afraid of Everyone- The National
Up- Justin Bieber
Hard- Rihanna & Jeezy
Take Me Along- Miley Cyrus
By Your Side- Lifehouse
The Ghost You're Haunting- Robotanists
Push- Avril Lavigne
Don't Stop the Party- Black Eyed Peas
Marry the Night- Lady Gaga
Young Blood- The Naked and Famous
The Listening- The Lights
Somewhere Only We Know- Keane
Kite- U2

There's probably more, but there's an assortment! Woah I went from the Biebs to U2 to Lifehouse. Doesn't get more random than that. What are you listening to this summer, I love recommendations? See you in the next post <3

High-Waisted Trend

I've been in the mood to blog lots lately, so hope you're excited to read :) Maybe because it's finally summer vacation and I don't know what else I would be doing with my time. I should probably practice cello since I have a lesson tomorrow which I am not ready for, but for right now I'm going to share with you my obsession, and maybe yours too...
High-Waisted Shorts. YUM.
There are many different kinds of high waisted pieces. Pants, shorts, skirts, jeans, bathing suits. They make your legs look longer and are a great piece to have in your closet. I've kind of been wanting a high-waisted bathing suit. Thoughts?

T-Swifty rocks a high-waisted bikini.

Miley Cyrus sports high-waisted cut-offs during the day and night.

Ways to wear them and have it look flattering: Lots of people claim that this trend is unflattering and that the high waistlines just don't work. Maybe that's the case, but like with any "daring" piece of clothing, you have to pair with it what's going to flatter your figure and find ways to make your outfit look trendy, fun, and good. Crop tops always look good with high-waisted bottoms. The shorter the top, the better. Some stores to check out for stylish crop tops at good prices are Forever 21, Wet Seal, H&M, and Urban Outfitters (look in sale section of Urban O. site for good deals!). As for sweaters, jackets, coats, etc., anything goes great. Baggy vintage sweaters are encouraged!
Jewelry goes great with this trend. Pile it on!!!!!
For shoes, anything really goes. Personally, I think wedges, boots (if they're over-the-knee, I recommend wearing SHORT short shorts to balance proportions out), sneakers, and some flats go well with this trend. Wear what you think looks good though! You'll know if it's fierce or a hot mess. (Christian Siriano love!)
As I mentioned before, there are many different kinds of high-waisted items, but the materials are fun to work with, too. There's the classic denim look then there's high-waisted floral shorts which are very cute (I bought some at Macy's a couple weeks ago... they're so flowy and comfortable). You can get cut-offs, distressed, tailored, dressy, flared-out, baggy, and tight styles. So many possibilities...
Now after reading everything you wanted (or not) to hear about these unique shorts, it's time to actually go out and buy some! Ha ha ha. So tips on buying them: Go to the thrift stores before you head down to Forever 21 or Urban Outfitters to buy a $20-50 pair. I've gotten lots of high-waisted items at both Goodwill and Savers. In fact, that's the only place I've gotten this trend. At Savers I found a pair of vintage light-wash Levi's high-waisted jeans. For 4 bucks. 4 BUCKS. So I got them and turned them into trendy cut-offs.
I would say depending on the material that you want, go to the thrift shops first. If you're looking for leather or suede high-waistedness, it's going to be more expensive since those materials in the long run generally are. No matter what though, I'm sure you can find some cute high-waisted items to try.
Lemme know your thoughts on high-waisted talk and tell me about your blog! peace.love.jessndaisy@gmail.com or comment below.
Also comment about the one item/trend that you're obsessed with right now. Maybe it's the high-waisted trend!

Look for Less: Miley Shmiley

Hope everyone is great today on this sunny summer day! Lately, I've been loving all the 'Look for Less' posts on a combination of websites so I decided to do one for Miley Cyrus' outfit. This look is going to be great for summer: the high waisted shorts are perfect for hot days, the lace tights let your skin breath, and you can take the plaid button-down off when it's hot to reveal a cute simple tee.

If there's one thing you're going to spend the most on in this outfit, it would be the boots. It's hard to find nice-quality high boots that are inexpensive unless you get very lucky at a cheap vintage store. Vintage stores are great places to find cool boots though. However, this pair of boots  from Restricted Shoes look very similar with the buckles and they come in a few colors including black.

The story about the high-waisted trend... it looks good on everyone. I have millions of pairs of them because they're super comfy, you can dress them up or down, they go with just about anything (including crop tops which are definitely on trend right now), and they can be super inexpensive depending on where you get them. I've seen ridiculous pricing online for them on Topshop and on designer's websites and truth is: the best place to shop for them is at Goodwill or Savers. I've gotten all mine from those two stores and they are practical, super cute and have that vintage look. In the picture, Miley wears distressed cut offs, so cut off however much you want if they're not already cut off and distress them yourself by watching this helpful video. (My next blog post will prolly be only about high-waisted pieces. I'm obsessed ;)

The lace tights you can get anywhere... Target? Forever 21? Wal-mart might have some. These tights from Express would resemble Miley's. 

Her t-shirt is pretty self-explanatory considering it's a plain tan shirt. You could substitute the tan for a cream or off-white shirt, depending on what you have in your closet. You could go with a tube top, tank, short sleeved, long-sleeved; whatever floats your boat. Whatever shirt you pick out though, make sure that there's a way to make it short/cropped. If that's cropping it with scissors, tucking it in, or knotting the extra fabric, it will flaunt your high-waisted shorts. On Wet Seal's website they have lots of crop tops that are reasonably priced.The shorter the top, the better.

I'm pretty sure that the boyfriend plaid shirt that Miley is wearing is from Abercrombie & Fitch. You could also find similar button-downs at American Eagle, Hollister, thrift stores, and your dad's/brother's/boyfriend's closet. Cyrus' isn't super fitted so a boyfriend plaid shirt is ideal (and super comfy).

For jewelry, the main idea is tribal and turquoise. You can find lots of cheap options at Forever 21, H&M, and Target probably has a small selection. This set of bracelets from H&M are very tribal inspired and this ring from lulus.com looks similar to the one on Miley's left hand.

For nail polish, I suggest buying some O.P.I. since you can count on it to last for awhile. Black Onyx is a true black. Just trim nails short, paint the polish on your nails, and ta-da!

For makeup: if you choose to wear any at all considering this is a very natural look, just apply foundation, a light light light peachy blush, and a little mascara. For night though, you can pump up the volume with heavy mascara and maybe some teal eyeliner to make your turquoise jewelry and plaid shirt POP! Hair: just make it wavy by loosely curling it or if you have naturally curly hair, brush it out. The messier, the better.

I hope this was helpful and that you can incorporate anything I mentioned into your daily fashion. Comment and email me at peace.love.jessndaisy@gmail.com about your blogs or what you want to see more of. I'm going to try to get the video situation worked out really extra-super-duper soon. A Twitter for Daisy This, Daisy That may be in the future. Lemme know about anything below! Have a great day and see you in the next post! Love, JessnDaisy

It's CRAZY!!

I tried to make a little book haul, but it was a miss. Kind of got distracted by my room, if that makes sense.
This video was just spur-of-the-moment craziness... I say 'It's crazy' and 'Nifty' probably about 70 times. Feel free to count and comment about it. :) Email is peace.love.jessndaisy@gmail.com so send any comments, questions, and posts you'd like to see later in the future of Daisy This, Daisy That. Thanks for reading and watching and see you in the next post!

Yes, the lipstick I'm wearing in the video is the bright pink one from Kat Von D that I mentioned in yesterday's post. Whoopdeedoo!
