A Reason To Shine
Sometime I don’t know how to start a post. To be honest my life is really average and traditional. I go to school, to ballet, have dinner, finish homework, and go to sleep on the weekdays. Sometimes I have an uber exciting weekend filled with going to the library or seeing a movie! I know. …
Occasionally I get fashion block. It’s sort of like writer’s block only with clothes. I will look in my closet and my mind goes blank. It’s times like these that I turn to the internet to save my clothing woes. A few months ago, such a time happened. I googled tween fashion blog to see…
So my mom and I were talking fashion the other day and something she said resonated with me. She mentioned how no one really dressed beautifully anymore like in the 50s when women wore dresses and pearls and men wore business suits and ties. Being young, I never really noticed this before but I would…
Does anyone else take a break from buying clothing during the year? I do. As I wear uniforms to school, I don’t need as much weekend style clothing to get me through the school year (when I wrote that I had the strangest thought of Nacho Libre saying “These are my leisure clothes.”) Also, there…
It snowed on Christmas Eve, and then snowed some more…and some more…and some more. It was so magical on Christmas but the day after I was over it. The thing about snow is, it’s cold! Like why do I live where the air hurts my face? And the saddest thing about winter in Idaho is…
Hello again! How was everyone’s Christmas? I had a wonderful Christmas with my family and I have been enjoying winter break from school. On Christmas Eve my Papa Joe and Grandma Mie led all the grandchildren on a scavenger hunt and we received gifts along the way. Our first gift and clue were hats that…
As the Holidays are approaching, I often become frantic trying to find the perfect Holiday dress. In my family, it is customary for the girls to wear new dresses and the boys a new tie to Religious Services on Sunday before Christmas. Often my new dress will accompany me to Holiday parties, so it is…
As a tween, we often want to embrace a trend that we see older girls wearing. However, our bodies are still in transition to becoming adult bodies and we might find a certain trend doesn’t look right on our in-between bodies. This is exactly how I feel about the maxi skirt. They look so cute…
Some of you might already know this, others might not, but I attend a charter school where students are required to adhere to a dress code. Yes, I wear school uniforms. As a girly girl who is into fashion and getting all sorts of dressed up, you might think wearing a uniform cramps my style. …
Is there anything better than spending time with a friend? Maybe eating a cookie while spending time with a friend?! Meet my friend Miss Tumblina. We call her that because she does competitive gymnastics. Her family moved into town just days before school started and we became fast friends. She is one of those friends…
We had our first snow of the season and I spent the whole weekend enjoying it. I went sledding with my family, ate cheesy broccoli soup in bread bowls for dinner, watched The Polar Express, and went to my Grandparents on Sunday. One of my favorite things about going to my Papa Joe’s, is looking…
I kind of love that every season has it’s own classic wardrobe. How can you not think of fall when the words plaid and flannel pop into your mind? It just simplifies everything. I like to have a wardrobe full of classic staples for each season and update it with a few trendy pieces that…
My dad just celebrated his birthday and I was more than happy to help my mom prepare. We went to the store to grab a few things and came home to make daddy some delicious food. Ribs, baked potatoes, a garden salad, and french bread were on the menu for dinner. Dad had been begging…
I just completed a week long intensive ballet camp and boy are my feet tired! We did our usual warm up, conditioning, barre, and floor exercises along with learning choreography to 5 dances ranging from classical to contemporary and jazz. Although I am catching up on much needed rest, I am very sad because a…
Stylish Play Clothes Finding clothing that is stylish but still allows for running, jumping, and climbing is the holy grail for tween girls. I know from experience. It’s like clothing designers decided that we are too old for childlike exuberance and should be dressing to attract attention. They are wrong of course. We tweens are…
