Let's Talk Colorblocked Bodycon Dresses

This morning, while scanned through my Wanelo account this morning I stumbled upon these lovely dress delights. I mean seriously, look how slimming these dresses are on these girls! Whoever decided on this design is a genius. The curvature of the print with the two toned element gives pretty much anyone a rocking body instantly. It's honestly beautiful. I think that this type of dress would be perfect by itself and heels for a night out on the town , or maybe even paired with a jean jacket and flats for a more casual everyday look. For sure I will go out and get one of these soon. Until next time, stay fabulous, Alana :)

Color Explosion Tutorial!

*EXCUSE MY HAIR IT WAS IN MILKMAID BRAIDS AS SHOWN BELOW*
So today my whole family is going out for my grandmothers birthday. I am wearing a bright coral dress and I really wanted my makeup to reflect my outfit. I have this set of like70 lip glosses that I like to wet and use as eyeshadow. By wetting it the pigment becomes more concentrated and easier to apply. So I take it on a lip gloss brush and line my eye with it, then go up along the corner of my eye. Leaving the inside corner of my eye bare, I then take a gold powder and place that in that corner. Afterwards, I blend it out gently into the coral on the outside of my eye. On the bottom lashes I did the same effect by bringing that coral color on the inside, and then the gold on the outside, so opposite of my lid.
For my hair I decided to put it into milkmaid braids. First you split your hair with a middle part and start doing a fishtail braid on either side of my head. When you finish you simply cross them over each other on top of your head and pin it in place! I hope you liked today's blog post! Until next time, stay fabulous, Alana :)

The Day We Have All Been Waiting For

FINALLY!!! I'm am so super duper trooper excited about the new H&M shopping feature on their website! When I first became obsessed with the store I was in Atlanta, Georgia in an actual store. Then when I came home I realized that I didn't have a store in my immediate area that would be easy to get to. When that happens it is never really a big deal because the store most always has an online shopping feature right?? WRONG! Up until a few days ago all you could do was merely browse upon some of their merchandise on their site, which to me just seemed pointless. So you can see why I'm jumping for joy right now you guys. Ladies, their basics and essentials wear is fantastic and really cheap. Also, boys, I haven't forgotten about you. H&M also has a mens department which is actually really well put together unlike many other popular brands. I urge all of you to take advantage of this new capability on their site and check it out! I'll be putting a link right here if you would like to take advantage of the new H&M online store --> http://www.hm.com/us/ Until next time, stay fabulous, Alana :)

ATTENTION! Another Video Has Been Posted On My Youtube Channel!

Hey Everyone! Surprise Surprise!! I've posted another video on my YouTube channel Alana Long. The video is about some more college shopping that I have been up to, and it is basically a bit of a continuation from my last video. I'm really excited about this one and I really, really hope that y'all enjoy it as well. You can view it here on my blog but it would also be really nice if everyone clicked the "Watch on YouTube" button located on the video and watch it there. That way the channel and video itself can get some more views, and it helps me out a bunch! So head on over there, comment, subscribe, and like please and I will be forever grateful haha :) Thank You so much for following byeeee!
