DIY: How to Fringe a Shirt.

I love snipping a cutting shirts so i thought. Why not show you guys how to do it, If you don't already know. :) It's really simple to do. You don't have to just fringe the bottom you could also fringe the sleeves or maybe even the collar. I will also post a picture of the bottom fringe with no sleeves. I hope you enjoy this easy DIY. 
Materials:
Shirt
Ruler
Scissor
Light colored washable marker

1. Get all of your materials and lay your shirt out flat.

2.Measure 4 inches from the bottom of your shirt. Use your marker to mark it. Do the same for the other side and then connect the lines with a horizontal line.



3.Measure 1 inch vertical line from the bottom of the shirt to marked line. Keep drawing them until you reach the end.



4. Cut the vertical lines. Make sure you cut the back piece as well. It saves time.


5. You could keep the shirt like this or you could knot it. When you knot the shirt you make a loop at the top and pull the bottom peice into the loop. Pull. Make sure you knot is where you want it, it could be in the middle, top, bottom, or both. 




Done!
It's a really simple thing to do to shirts that spices them up. If you have noticeable marks on your shirt just throw it in the washing machine and it should come right off. I LOVE fringing and i do it to as many shirts as i can. :)

DIY: Turn a broken earring into a ring.

So i have a bunch of earrings that have broken and i didn't know what to do with them. So i thought, hey lets turn them into something different. This is how i turned my broken earring into a ring.
This is what you'll need:
-Your broken earring (This one is a clip on earring the clip just broke off)
-A ring back (This one came from a broken ring where the back broke off from the ornament on the ring but you can buy the backs of rings in bulk on Ebay)
-And super glue (Here i'm using gorilla glue and the way you apply this glue is a little different from your average super glue)



1. Since were using gorilla glue you have to apply it a different way in order to get your ring to stay. So first take a damp cloth and wipe down the ring were your going to be applying the glue.

2. Apply the glue to the part of the ring where you're going to be placing the earring.


3. Then attach the two pieces. It should take an hour to dry and when its dry it'll be nice a secure.

Curvy's Stydols!


Okay. Let me explain the title! Stydol just means Style Idol. I simply combined the two.

Now that we have settled that, I would like to introduce you to my Stydols! I have 2. Just 2. Totally opposite! One day, I may feel super girly! The next, I may feel very rocker-ish, or like a tomboy. Hmm, Who are they?



Who do you think it is?



*drum roll*












Yep! Rihanna. I mean, everyone knows I'm obsessed with her style! She is so beautiful and remarkable at her career. I look up to her! Most of the things she wears I get inspired to find for myself! I also have red hair so I try to not look like I'm mocking her but I do sample some things she wears. When I am feeling a bit edgy, I tend to channel my inner Rihanna. Can you blame me? She is fierce! Everything she wears I LOVE!


 

I just love her! She is so brave with her fashion choices. Not to mention, she is always being different! Her hair always changes, her style, her beauty! But one thing remains the same. She will always be my Stydol!


Okay now you know my edgy inspiration. Let me introduce you to my girly insides!


*drum roll*



Taylor Swift! How can you not love her?! She is beautiful, fun, and a great person. I wish I could meet her! One day I plan to.
Anyhoo, I love her style because it is super girly and fashionable. I love her music and when I listen to it, I picture outfits that go with it. It seems like her style is a reflection of her fun, upbeat songs. Maybe that's how I look at it. But there is no doubt she is bomb!

2012 Grammy's fashions: Best and Worst by Curveless.

These are the outfits I adored. They are in order from most liked.
Taylor Swift had my absolute favorite outfit on. Her hair to the back with that gorgeous dress on made her Best Dressed in my book. 
Lykke Li looks very professional. I love the suit, well i love everything. Kate's dress is so gorgeous. So simple and i love the drapery. Rihanna is HOT. Simple but yet a wonderful statement dress. Adele is doing it big. I love the sparkle and the black but i want to see her in some color. Bravo ladies. Keep it up!
Mens outfits i loved!!
David Guetta's suit he had on was sharp. It was casual but yet fancy. I love the added stud details on the collar of the blazer and the shoes. 
Common looks well put together just like David its casual but yet fancy. Adam is just hot and clean, but that girl of his is not and dirty. Bruno looks sharp as always.
Women's outfit i thought could stay home!!! In order from worst outfit to worst outfit.
Now i was really disappointed with these ladies they're out fits are horrible and you should be able to see why.
Robyn has on Timberland creepers on with a white high to low skirt and a white t-shirt... This is the Grammy's, You're not out on the street. Please fix that. 
Nicki is trying to be little red riding hood. Bonnie is trying to be a robot Lady Gaga. (Although i do love her shoes) Skylar grey looks like she has a table cloth on. Anne looks like she didn't want to have anything on. and Taraji looks like a wanna-be mermaid. Sorry ladies i love your movies and you're music but just not your choice in outfit tonight.
Mens outfit i thought could have been better. These aren't in any particular order.
The worst for me is Rick Ross. It's just a no. Let's dress up a little more can we?
Sum 41 just doesn't look good. I can't explain it. Swiss looks like his jacket and tie were made out of a plush toy. and LL looks good i just don't like his Jacket. It makes him look boxy on top.
Outfit i thought were lovely! But not the best. Still great looking though.
I really do love Kelly's dress, It's spectacular but i think she could have done more and her hair should have been pinned up. Other then that great job picking out that dress! 
I love Lilly dress! I just wish it had no sleeves. The sleeves are throwing me off a bit.
Lady Antebellum look great but Hillary's dress isn't my favorite. The color in her mid-section actually makes her mid section look bigger. but i do love her dress. I think Amber Rose's dress is beautiful. but it's so plain. I do love the color on her!
I've noticed a trend when i looked at the fashions, and that it gold accessories. Everyone had either a gold waste band, necklace, and/or clutch. Is this the trend? I really loved the gold waste band Juliana, Paris, and others had. I also liked the necklace. Alicia Keys had. This trend isn't bad at all as long as you put it to use in the right way.

Well that's my Hot and Not of the 2012 Grammy's i thought they had a good show and the winners deserved to win especially Adele. I love her, but overall everyone did a marvelous job! Thumbs up!
Bye for now ChiChi's and ChoCho's!

Male & Female Body Types: Guidelines (TT)

It is important to know your body types as well as what looks flattering on your figure, Curveless and I wanted to bring you the full get down so you will know what you are and learn to be comfortable with yourself—if you are not already.
Curveless and I have very different body types but we still manage to dress accordingly.
Curvy’s Body Type: Purple and a hint of Green
Curveless’ Body Type: Orange and Blue
No body type is bad. I appreciate my figure; however, I’m sure everyone has that one thing they wish was different. But we have to learn to work with it! With that being said we have broken down each body type to show you!

Pinks: Your body type is a Diamond. This means your midsection is wide. Wear clothing that will get the focus away from your waist and make your shoulders look wider. Focus on tops with wide necklines, tight under breasts, and flows over your stomach. Wear pants that have wide legs. Focus on clothes that draw they eye up; not down.
Red: Your body type is Triangle. This means your lower half is not balanced with your upper body. Usually, people with this body type have short legs. I suggest wearing pumps to make your legs appear longer. You should wear pants that are NOT high waisted to avoid looking "chunky". I would not suggest wearing low necklines.
Orange: Your body type is Rectangle. This means you have a straight edge to your body. With this body type, it is extremely important to wear things that give your that feminine touch; if not, you could look manly. I highly suggest wearing A-Line skirts and tulip skirts. I suggest round necklines and puffy skirts.
Yellows: You are an Apple. This means your midsection is round and your top and bottom are not flat. Find tops that create a defined waste. This will give your top more dimension. You can do tops with wraps, belts, or anything creating an emphasis on waist. For bottoms it's better to wear fuller pants, skinnies will look good but not as good as wide legged jeans. Go for embellishments on your bottoms they will make your bottom half POP. Tiered and bubble skirts are key to your shape.
Purples: This mean you are balanced; like an hourglass. Find tops with narrow v-necks and tops nipping and the waist to show off you curvy waist. Dark tops and tailored are the best for you. For bottoms choose a nice embellished pocket. Boot cut and slightly flared jeans are the best! A line shirts are what hot with you.
Blues: You body type is an Inverted Triangle. This means your upper body is not bigger than your lower body. What you want to do is define your waist. Like oval and hour-glass find something that has a nip at the waste to give your top more dimension. Straight legs are better because they can balance out your top half. Skirts that hit your knee's are perfect for you. Choose a skirt that can add extra volume to your bottom area. It makes it seem fuller.
Greens: You are a Rounded Hourglass. This means your upper body and lower body is balanced, but your edges are round. Wide necklines are your best friend. They create equality with your bottom half.Look for details at the neck such as ties or buttons. No tight shirts but not too loose as well. Get a shirt that fits you perfectly. Skirts and trousers that fit just below the waistline are for you. No tight skirts or pants for you either.Slight cut a-lines are best.

MALES: We didn’t leave you out!



Key Notes for MEN:
If you have a large tummy, avoid tucked in shirts. This can draw the eye down when it should be up.
If you have body type D, you have a common body type. You can wear virtually anything.
If you have body type B, wear straight or wide leg pants and fitted shirts and jackets.
If you have body type C, wear things to emphasize your shoulders. You want to create a body type D.
If you have body type A, wear jackets with padded shoulders to look balanced.
If you have body type E, you want to create a longer torso. Wear things that make you look slim.
