Prom season

Hi, again. 

Prom is coming up if you lived in the states and sometimes finding the perfect dress can be hard. I have a few tips that might help.


  • try to search on pictures and look for dresses months before the actual prom date
  • find a dress that fits your body-type (hourglass, inverted triangle, triangle, oval, rectangular and diamond) and also find out what colors you should have
  • if you have found a dress you like, ask if you can try it out at home just to see how it fits and how it will look in natural lighting and with flash.
  • and it's you who wears the dress, not the dress wearing you

When it comes to the hair and makeup, don't feel bad for asking if you walk in to a make up counter what will look good on you. They might help you and also give you tips on how to do your make up if you decide to do it your self. Same goes with the hair, look up what suits your face shape (heart-shaped, oval, square, round) and look on Youtube for ideas, and if you decide to do it in a hair salon ask for how much its going cots you and how long the hairstylist/dresser needs, and also look for salons near you or what takes a half hour to drive to. 




I have a few tips on choosing your dress depending on your body-type:


Triangle: small shoulders and a wide hip - look for a dress that fits you, first and formal, and pair that with a blazer with shoulder pads and no not like 80's - that will give the illusion of wider shoulders

Inverted triangle: small hip and broad shoulders - find a dress highlights your shoulders and also, in this case find what looks like a princess dress and that will give you a broader waist

Rectangular: your shoulders and hip has the same measures - in this case you want to find a dress that gives you a waist, so try to find a dress that have a little belt. 

Hour glass: your hips and shoulders are the same and you have a small waistline - try a mermaid dress - that will really show of your curves or a longer dress with a little belt.

Diamond: broad waist line and small hips and shoulders - try a corset to make your waist a bit smaller and look for a knee-long dress to show of your legs.

Rounded: you are broad over all(but very beautiful) - find a dress that gives you support over your bust-line and try if you feel comfortable go for a dress that shows of your legs.

I know that was a lot, but I wanted to give you some ideas and my final words will be Have Fun and don't let anybody ruin your time <3

   

Rather Be

I rather have my heart broken a billion times than be with someone who doesn't care.

I rather surround my self with amazing friends than false.

I rather have flaws than being flawless. Perfect is boring.

I rather feel comfortable in my own skin that to have people telling you some thing you are not.

I rather be myself.

Work Out

Today I've been doing some Pilates and that hurts like hell after a while but I hope it comes with good results, and I have also doing some core workout, so that's what I've been up to day. 

And not on the subject, but lately I've been obsessed with vine and a couple of boys(guilty) such as Nick and Matt Hall, Cameron Dallas, Nash and Hayes Grier, Dem_White_Boys....... and I can watch their vines a whole day and just laugh because they cheer me up whenever I'm feeling a bit down and also make me feel a bit better about my self <3  
So here I have a few pics of the boys that I adore...

Spring

I have not blogged for a couple of days, sorry. But I can tell you that I have finished 'The Fault In Our Stars' and I did cry like a lot but overall it is SO good, and if you want something to read on a plane or just over spring/summer break I would recommend it. And it is about a 16 year old girl named Hazel Graze and her fight with lung cancer and how she meet Augustus (Gus) Waters in a cancer support group for cancer survivors/fighters and how she begins to fall in love with him. But I'm not going to give it all away for you, and I cant wait until I can see it on the big screen and I probably going to need a tissue box with me(or 16), because you'll cry, trust me. And if you do read it, have Miley Cyrus song 'Adore You' in the background and that song will get a whole new meaning

Now on to something more cheer full, spring, FINALLY. How ever its still a bit cold here but a soon the sun peeks through it is hot as (excuse my language) hell. And with spring comes less clothing and no heavy winter coats. But you can get away with wearing some gloves and scarf if its cold in the morning. If you live somewhere warm you can getaway with a pair of Chuck Taylors (converse), high wasted shorts tucked in with a pastel colored shirt or a tank-top paired with a cute hairstyle and a matching nail polish (and with a Starbucks in your hand) <3

Nails

So another day has come to an end, did a good workout and I did some manicure as a reward to myself for being good :) Before I go to bed (laying in bed as I'm writing this...) I'm going to read a chapter or two of John Greens book 'The fault in our stars' while Cody Simpson playing in the background as company :) ♥

A fresh new start

So, I have not bloged in a while and I thought this could be a fresh start. Lets introduce me shall we, my name is Emilia Grahn and I'm 19 years of age and I live in Sweden.I don't have any siblings so I'm a only child and that has its positives and negatives, but I don't really mind. I have a big interest for fashion, make up, surf, music and a little bit of photography. Right now I don't have a job, and that - let's be honest - sucks, but I try to see it as an opportunity to find  a job and also explore whats to offer.

if you want to follow any of my social networks I'll put the links below :)
