Fashionable city dwellers show off their style. (Google Images)

Skinny pants used to be the norm but I feel like this year everybody stepped out of their comfort zone and I hope they do the same next year in 2016. These pants were popular in the 60s and 70s so they make the perfect essencial for a retro look. I love this trend because you can rock it anywhere from the streets of the city to the beach and it's so comfortable yet you still look put together and fashionable. Flowy Pants, also known as palazzo pants, complete any look and never make it look boring! I was starting to get bored of the same types of pants all the time so these are so refreshing. They can also look like a maxi skirt. What is also so cool about them is they complete any street style look. I LOVE THEM.

Most love thick, full, or voluminous hair but only some are born with that gift. The good news is there are plenty of solutions...

Switch your normal shampoo to a volumizing one for a little boost. It's not the most drastic volumizer but it works, especially if you mix it with other techniques. I use the herbal essences volumizing shampoo which I feel has worked best for volume but I also use the Organix "thick and full", to be honest I don't notice any changes for volume but i did notice how healthy my hair is after using this. If you know of one that works better please share in the comments below.

Another product I use is the Aveda "brilliant" medium hold hairspray. I use it when blow drying and it works amazing. It's a miracle product! It gives my hair like five times its original volume. It works really good on my hair but my hair isn't really thick so if your isn't like mine find the equivalent of this product for your hair type. But if you do use this then make sure to follow the next technique.

Blow drying your hair upside down help a tiny bit but not too much, HOWEVER mixing this technique with product helps a lot. Apply the product you use (for me it's the brilliant Aveda spray) and blow dry your hair upside down for even more volume.

Dry Shampoo is another product that adds volume. If you are lazy with your hair (I'm guilty of that sometimes) it works double. Absorbing excess oil and volumizing! I use "Batiste" which I feel is one of the best brands for this product.

Just wanted to share with you guys some of my favourite quotes from the amazing designer, Chanel. Hope you like them as much as me. They are very classy.

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

"The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud."

"There are people who have money and people who are rich."

"It is always better to be slightly underdressed."

“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.”

“Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”

“I don’t care what you think about me. I don’t think about you at all.”

“My life didn’t please me, so I created my life.”

“I don’t do fashion, I am fashion.”

“I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.”

“In order to be irreplaceable one must be unique”

“If a man speaks badly about all women, it usually means he was burned by one woman.”

I often have trouble while working because of time but this method saved me! The "Pomodoro Method" for maximum efficiency studying helps with time management. THIS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE.

The Pomodoro method is very simple and easy:

25 minutes of hard work

5 minute break except for every third one,

the third one should be 20 minutes long

repeat!

This method will help with efficiency and effectiveness. Hope it helped!

Young people especially suffer with acne. It's really important to take good care of your skin in order to have clear and healthy looking skin. I included links for each of the products which are all really affordable!

Morning:

When you wake up to get ready in the morning one of the most important things to do is wash your face. For mornings I prefer a softer face wash like Cetaphil. It gets rid of all the grossness you wake up with if you know what I mean, haha. It gets you started off right with clean skin. On top of that it wakes you up! If you wear makeup don't apply excess.

Throughout the Day:

It depends on how your day has been but if you’ve been pretty active wipe of with a wet towel or wipe when needed, or instead to save time you can also use some oil absorbing sheets or blotting papers. These sheets absorb all the extra oil on your skin and leave it feeling that way. THEY ARE AMAZING. I know they sell some in Sephora in really cute packs but the one and only brand I’ve always used has been Clean and Clear . Clean and Clear (in my opinion) is one of the best skin care brands and always works like a miracle.

Night:

REMOVE ALL MAKEUP. Makeup clogs pores causing acne so it is really important to avoid at as much as possible. As soon as you can wipe it all off. If you take night showers this is especially important. The steam from the shower opens up your pores, that means makeup and all the gunk would get in therefore clogging your skin. Remove with makeup removing wipes, Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes are known to be one of the best products for that out there. At night I think it's a good idea to use a stronger face wash at night to remove everything that accumulated throughout your busy day. I like face scrubs because they leave your face feeling super soft. I love Neutrogena or Clean and Clear products for that. After washing my face I apply CLEAN AND CLEAR ADVANTAGE ACNE SPOT TREATMENT which I posted about a while ago when trying it out, since then it has become part of my daily skincare routine. It's a miracle.

Every Once in a While:

Applying these everyday might dry up your skin but sometimes it's fun to treat yourself to a relaxing face mask or pore strips.

Recommendation:

I got this gel brush thing to wash my face at Sephora a while ago and it's amazing. I feel like it cleans your face a lot more than when you just use your hands because it deep cleans. Its called the SEPHORA COLLECTION Precision Pore Cleansing Pad.

It's October and to be more precise one week before Halloween! Some of us haven't even decided what we're going to be even though most of us have an event or party to go to. So here I have a few really cute and easy last minute costume ideas for you guys. Hope they help!

Sugar Skull:

This costume looks really cool and since it focuses mainly on the face you don't have to worry a lot about the outfit. Just buy some face paint or a sugar skull makeup kit and find a tutorial. They're really easy to do. The picture from above is taken from a really good tutorial I found on YouTube, here's the link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ2PE0Ei-eY

Modernized Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz:

Get a light blue gingham overall type dress or D.I.Y it (Bethany Mota has a cute and EXTREMELY EASY D.I.Y for that) and wear a white top underneath (crop tops are a cute idea). Pare that cute outfit with some red converse and a braided hairdo.

Cat:

This is really unoriginal to be honest but it's the easiest. Wear a cute black outfit, cat ear headband, and draw some whiskers. Also for your makeup do a cat eye!

Chic Mime:

This is one of my favorites. I think it's so chic. A fashionable take on the classic mime! Wear a pretty horizontal black stripe shirt with black skinny jeans or tights. Add a red little silky scarf to match your red lip. The girl from the picture on the left is instagram user @xulia_arneiro and did an amazing job with this makeup look.

I hope you guys like these costumes and if you guys do recreate one please, please, please tag me on Instagram as @daniur1 or on google+ +Daniela Uribe so I can see them♥

I would like to add none of these pictures are mine and I give credit to google images!
