What Does My Closet Look Like?

2011-07-17T14:00:00.000-04:00

The other someone emailed em & asked to see how I organized my closet. Well this is pretty much it, nothing too fancy. It's color organized from black, blue, green, pink, orange, yellow & white. Then next to the blacks I put all the empty hangers. My closet isn't a walk in so there's not much I can do with it. Below my shirts I have a shelf with all my jeans on it.

My outfit for this weekends race!

2011-07-15T09:36:00.000-04:00

   Some of you might remember me talking about a race I was going to be doing this month. Well it's finally right around the corner. For those of you who don't know what it is it's an adventure race. That means it consists of running, biking, canoeing, & possible swimming. You have to navigate yourself with only a compass. Throughout the race you have to do checkpoints such as go down a zip line or other fun obstacles.
   Here is my outfit for the race! I got all of this from target: plain black & white striped shorts, hot pink tshirt and the black cutoff weightlifting gloves. The clothing is from their C9 brand, the shorts were $12 and the shirt was $10! The gloves were $8 & from the brand Gold's Gym.
   As always, feel free to email me at satinsilkandsun@yahoo.com if you want to request, suggest, or ask me anything!

Cutest Baby Clothing Ever!

2011-07-11T14:00:00.000-04:00

This site has some adorable shirts for little children up to the age of four. The shirts come in three different colors: navy, pink and white. The shirts are only £9.95 too (: The designs remind me of Ed Hardy but suppppper adorable! I so wish I knew little kids, I would definitely get them all of these!
Their clothes are shipped the very next day, which is so rare these days. The only bad thing for me is that the business is located in the UK which means it would take about 5 days to receive a purchase. Shipping ranges from £2.00 to £8.00 depending on your location.
If you know or have little kids I think these shirts would be great.

How To Get Mascara Out Of Carpet

2011-07-09T09:37:00.000-04:00

If you are clumsy like me, you will probably have this problem at least once in your life. The other day I turned around while holding my mascara brush & it flew from my hand. Naturally it landed on the WHITE carpet. My immediate thought was that it would stain. However, I found a simple method to remove it.

1. Get a damp washcloth

2. Add a dime size amount of hand soap

3. Rub the carpet in quick back & forth motions

(if you rub in too long of strokes it will smear the mascara)

4. Keep doing this until the stain is removed

5. Using a damp washcloth (no soap) rub over the area to remove the soap

6. Wallah! Below is a picture of what my carpet looked like afterwards (:

One Item Haul

2011-07-07T13:00:00.000-04:00

The other day I took my little sister out bathing suit shopping hoping to find her black bottoms. She had no luck but I got these cute shorts. They are from Aeropostale, I normally wouldn't shop there but thats one of her favorite places. While she was in the dressing room I spotted these. The only reason I bothered to try them on is because they were on sale for $10. I thought that was reasonable the only bad thing is that I had to get a size larger in the waist so that they would be long enough.

Nails of the Week

2011-07-06T23:39:00.000-04:00

I just did my nails last night. The color is Sexy In The City by China Glaze. For some reason they look really dark in all the pictures I took. The real color looks like a shimmery aquamarine color.

What Do I Want To Do With My Life?

2011-06-09T08:00:00.000-04:00

   Aren't teenagers always answering this question or some type of similar variation? Well I have a few things in mind for myself.
   If I didn't have to be realistic, I would say model. I would loooove to be a model someday even if it wasn't my entire career. However I have absolutely no way into that field considering the only modeling I have ever done is for Vera Bradley's website.
   Another one of my 'fantasy jobs' is an interior or fashion designer. Again, I have little to no experience in this field and choosing this as a career isn't logical or realistic.
   Being realistic now, I want to be a teacher. I would love working with younger children or high schoolers. I think that helping kids start their schooling or end it would be great. My personality would be perfect for either age, or at least I think it would (:
   Also, the job I have wanted since 3rd grade was to become an architect. My aunt is an architect and I think that is where I must have gotten the idea. If you were to go through my closet you would find various floor plans and multiple drawings of the layout of our actual house draw to scale.
