My Style- May 30 , 2012

Today is Wednesday May 30, 2012 and I wanted my outfit for the first day back to school from Memorial Day break to be comfortable, yet cute!
I decided to pair my brand new American Eagle maroon colored jean shorts with a really pretty black tank top and because the tank top has thin straps that i cannot wear to school I threw on a grey and white striped cardigan over top. I decided to keep the laid back look and paired my Minnetonka moccasins with this outfit. I think this combination is so adorable and plus it was such a comfortable outfit.
Here are some more pictures of my outfit today!

I hope you guys enjoyed my first Outfit of the Day!

My Bobbi Brown Studio Experience!

Last summer I went to the Bobbi Brown Studio in Montclair, New Jersey for the Teen Beauty Workshop. The first time I went to the Bobbi Brown Workshop I went by myself (of course my mom was with me but she didn't take the class.) I had such an awesome time and learned a ton!  The class was tought by a girl named Danielle. Danielle was such a good teacher. She taught me a ton of new makeup tips and tricks! Danielle was also very kind to share with me where she went to college and what jobs she took to get where she is today - working with my hero, Bobbi Brown! She also gave me great advice about college and what I should do when I go into the Fashion and Makeup industy. After we were taught how to properly apply our makeup and what each thing does for us we then got to take Bobbi Brown pigments and made our own LIPGLOSSES! It was so much fun!

I had such a awesome time at the studio that I went a second time but this time I went for my sister's birthday. I had told my sister about all the fun things I did while I was at the studio that she decided to have a birthday party there. I was psyched to find that Danielle was going to be teaching my sister's birthday workshop. My sister's friends were taught how to apply their makeup with the right techniques. 

I can't even begin to explain how much fun I had at the Bobbi Brown Studio for the Teen Beauty Workshop the to two times I went!  I am keeping my fingers crossed that there will be another class for me to take this summer!
