Winter Coat Wish List

Readers of blogs, how I’ve missed you! I’ve been so busy and so crazed with my school schedule that I’ve had to neglect things that are normally on my priority list. For example, cleaning my house went out the window first, naturally. Second came wearing make-up, I ditched that right quick. Next went my social life, I have no idea if my best friends power has come back on since hurricane Sandy, however I do know she is alive and unharmed. I’ve missed two episodes of Son’s of Anarchy and one episode of The Walking Dead. And last and most appallingly, I’ve neglected my blog. I’m sorry, friends.

I’m back with what I think is a very fun post! I’ve shopped around at all my FAVORITE online shopping stops to pick out my top 30 favorite winter-coats under $300!

Now, I realize for most of us (myself included) $300 is not exactly chump change. However, a good winter coat is certainly worth a splurge.

A.   Most of us where our winter-coat most everyday during the months November, December, January and February. So this is the coat that strangers, co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, and basically every single person you pass will see you in. It should be beautiful.

B.    A good winter coat should last you at the VERY LEAST 2 winters. If you spend $300 that’s $150 a year and a $1.25 a day. My rule of thumb for how much I’m willing to spend on a basic or a staple garment (i.e. Jeans, Boots, Coats) is as followed: I will spend $1 for every 1 day I will wear it.

C.   This is the garment that is keeping you warm and protecting you from the elements. In my opinion, my health is worth investing in.

So, now I will step down off my winter-coat soapbox and unveil my top 30 picks for Winter 2012-2013! Enjoy!

Hi guys! I'm sorry I've been neglecting you! I have so much going on in school right now! I'm pushing myself to my limit and putting in a lot of hard work towards my education. It's either going to get me really far in my career or into a state run facility and I'm really excited to see where I end up. :)

Don't think I've forgotten about you. I have some really exciting post planned for the next few weeks, including a look at ASOS Curve, my favorite winter weather coats, and tutorials on how to properly tease your hair and curl your hair!

Very Vintage Vibe Review

Hi Ladies! 

Here's another fabulous review of one of my favorite pinterest finds. 

Today my model is my beautiful sister-in-law Mallory Key! Mal, is neither a model or a hairstylist, she's a Second Grade Teacher. :)

The tutorial I'm reviewing is called the Very Vintage Vibe: 50's Inspired Ponytail and can be found at The Beauty Department. 

Just as a refresher or encase you're new to Scottie'sPaperDolls I have my non-hairstylist friends attempt the online tutorials with no help from me (a hairstylist). If the tutorial turns out like the picture than it's a good tutorial! If it doesn't turn out correctly, then I show you some adjustments to make so you can achieve the look at home. :)

I hope you enjoy, comment or message me if you have questions!

Mallory, separating the front portion of her hair.

She's using a clip to hold the front portion in place. Teasing at the crown. 

*NOTE* I want to talk about teasing. Not everyone knows how to properly tease their hair. I'll be doing a video soon explaining how to do it... it's easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!

After smoothing over the tease, Mallory puts the remaining hair (Not the hair in the clip) into a secure (tight) ponytail. 

Now she takes the hair from the clip and "drapes" it back to wrap it completely around the pony tail and securing it with bobby pins. Then smoothing out the pony by brushing it.

 Here's the finished look! I think its a very sweet look and should take about 10 minutes if your hair is already curled.

*Note* for a more dramatic bump, tease more. :)

Hope you enjoyed it!
