New Years Eve!!

New Years Eve!! by thesamdiaries featuring a red lipstick


2 posts in one day? What??!!

I decided that I should post my New Year's Eve outfit ideas. I will in fact be wearing the look on the right. It won't be matching exactly, but it has that same style. I did try to find the crop top I am going to use, but polyvore didn't have it, sadly.

I chose these two type of looks, because most of you will either be wearing something short or something longer. For the first look, I decided to go with this cute velveteen dress with a fab faux fur coat. Faux fur coats are absolutely perfect for occasions like New Years Eve. I paired it with these dark, mysterious booties. I always like to mix different looks into one. I hope you love look 1.

For my second look, I went in an edgy direction. I really want this perfect, glitter crop top from Topshop, but I'm still poor. Help me I'm poor! Haha if you know where that's from, comment in the comment box! This looks is very edgy, but I added a soft, salmon clutch to give it that splash of preppy in an edgy look. I hope you love look 2 and hope you pick one of these looks for your fab NYE outfit. Tweet me your awesome outfit to me, if you would love to 'cause I would love to see them. My user name is, of course @thesamdiaries!! Follow me if you wish!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

REMEMBER TO BE YOURSELF!!

HAVE A FAB NYE!!

New Years Eve...

2014 is almost here!!

       2013 has been a wild ride, but I'm really thankful for my family this year, who has supported me through every decision I have made this year. Sure I made some mistakes, but without mistakes I wouldn't learn, right? With this new year approaching, I know many of you probably have many new years resolutions, whether it's dropping 10 lbs or getting that promotion you know you deserve. Only being 18, my resolutions aren't probably what you would expect an 18 year old to want.

       I know this is very cliche thing to say, but I honestly do believe it. For some reason I feel that 2014 is going to bring me many opportunities, and it's going to my choice to take them or not. If you believe the same thing, then high five!! There are 10 things I want to discuss with you all, well 10 resolutions I have for 2014. And I hope you share with me your 10 resolutions you have for 2014 because I honestly would love to hear them. So here I go:

• My first resolution is to stop worrying, and just live my life.
• Stay positive and whenever I'm feeling down, remember how blessed I am.
• Spread more positivity(I know this isn't a word) in the world!! I really want to volunteer in a lot of charities this upcoming year!
• Work hard on my blog and listen to my sister who knows more than me, even though I hate to admit that she does!!
• Step up in my household and appreciate my parents more than I already do.
• Get a job and work hard in school!
• Get my license!! It will be mine!
• Appreciate the little things!!
• Believe that you are beautiful and so is the world, no matter all the bad things that happen in it. Like they say everything happens for a reason.
• BE HAPPY!!!

       There are many reasons to why these are my resolutions, & I in fact are going to write them down, put them on my wall and when I feel I have accomplished this resolution I will cross it out. My quote for this year will be, "Work hard and it will pay off!" I hope you all share with me your resolutions and hope you all have a fab New Years Eve!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Plaid Takeover...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 

I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas and if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you are a wonderful HUMP DAY!! I'm going to keep today's post sweet and short and let you get back to spending time with your fam!!

These plaid pants are a bit hard to get away from that edgy look so I decided to put a spin on them and turn them from edgy to chic. I think I did a pretty good job if I say so. The key pieces to changing the look of the pants was the shirt. The white collar always adds that chic, girly look everyone loves to have. Hope you all have a wonderful day. 

Happy Holidays!!

Two wears to wear a pencil skirt...

Look 1:                                                                                          Look 2:

Crop Top, Pencil Skirt, Backpack: Forever 21                                    Sheer Top:H&M

Robot High Tops: Vans                                                                    Everything else is Forever 21

From casual to fancy. Ooh la la!

I love my orange clutch. It provides the perfect pop of color. 

It's Christmas Eve. I'll be celebrating today. My family has this tradition that everyone comes over for a dinner and then we play games or something to keep us till midnight to open presents!! I hope it goes well today and I'm pretty excited to show you all what I'm wearing today. It has to do with Minnie Mouse and no I'm not dressing up as her, as if. Oh man, I need to watch Clueless. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve.

So for today's post, I decided to show you all two ways to style a pencil skirt. the first way is very casual and is a look you can wear that's still chic but comfortable. Ladies my skirt does not fit me tight, because I'm still growing into my body. I'm a late bloomer. The skirt should be tight. Do not get freaked out over it looking weird. I thing it looks fine but I know some of you might be skeptic about it. Instead of the high tops, replace them with sneaker wedges. That will give you height and still keep the look chic and casual.

The second look was what I call my "office look." I call it that because, well if I ever have an office job, I would probably wear this. I really adore this look, because it's sexy yet classy. I love looks like this honestly, because it proves that you don't need to bare all your goodies to be sexy. Sometimes when you bare all your goodies, well you might look a bit "trashy." Hope you all love today's looks!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!

White Lace Dress...

Lace Dress: H&M

Booties & Jewelry: Forever 21

It's Monday and no school, no more finals!! Yeah for all of you that had to deal with that. I'm sure you all did great, and for the rest of you that are working, don't worry Chritmas is almost here and you'll finally get to spend time with your family!! I hope you all do have a wonderful Christmas!!

This dress was for a little get together we had at my house for all of my family. It was nice to see my family that I hardly ever get to see. I admit that I got bored and went to my room. I swear I get bored so fast. It's one quality I don't like much about myself. I'm someone who has to be entertained or else I lose interest and do something else. 

I hope you all love the simplicity of this dress. I followed my mom's advice and just made it about the dress and just used some nice, statement earrings to keep it from looking to plain. The dress was a size big for me. I'm usually a 2 at H&M and since this dress is in fact my mom's, it was a size 4. I thought it still looked cute.

LOVE YOU ALL!!

Happy Saturday guys!! I got so bored last night, I made two 20 minute videos and I'm thinking about posting one of them, but I obviously have to edit them. I need to find the editor on my laptop. I think both of the videos are great and talk about issues that affect many lives today. If you don't know this about me, I love voicing my opinion and speaking for people that are misunderstood or not supported.

This outfit is very simple and it was my "first day" back in SD. My sister wanted to go run errands so I thought of a simple outfit for errands. It was comfortable and perfect. I really love this daisy cropped sweater from Forever 21. It's cute and comfortable at the same time. I hope you all love this look!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

Excuse my derpy face. 

Back in San Diego!! I took these pictures while still in Washington, and although I did, well nothing, I had a sweet time there. It was nice spending time with my awesome dad. He is such a sweetheart and a big cry baby. It's going to be hard not being able to spend Christmas with him, but he'll be with me in spirit. I can always face time him, because phones are taking over the world!! I hope we don't become robots. 

This was a really simple look I threw together. My dad wanted to go on a father, daughter date so I tried to get as dressed up as I could. I didn't bring my fancy clothes seeing that I wanted my winter fashion to be simple. I feel winter is simple, but I will up my looks now that I'm back in SD, for all of you fashionistas who want to see me layer. I hope you all are having a wonderful day & TGIF!!

LOVE ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH!!

Woo so happy about my second piercing. Can't wait to get more!

I know it's not Friday but did you guys hear that Rebecca Black released a new song called "Saturday". The girl can sing and she decides to release a song that's named that. Oh girl you're setting yourself up for doom. I haven't heard it but I hope it's good. 

Onto my outfit. I have to tell you, I love it. Like a lot!! I sounded like a white girl right there, but I guess I always too according to my friends, oh well. I really did love this outfit. It has this edgy, cool vibe to it. I was planning on wearing a different shirt but it just wasn't working out. I was about to throw this outfit back in my suitcase but then I found my lovely rolling stones shirt. After that, it was perfection!!

LOVE ALL MY FASHION HOMIE$!!!

Frosty Florals...

Sweater, Jewelry, Skater Skirt: Forever 21

Boots: Target

Today I fly back to SUNNY SAN DIEGO!! I'm happy to be going back, but will miss my awesome, tubular(his word) dad. It was nice to spend time with him, even though he was a butt at times to take my pictures. But I'm thankful for having a dad like him. He is one of a kind. It was a lot warmer the day I took this picture, and I was happy to wear this cute outfit. I was going to just wear my combat boots but I thought might as well wear these beauties.

I was a bit nervous about this outfit. I didn't know if the boots were going to work well with the skirt. This skater skirt is a bit different from the others, in the case that it's longer than most and it has a bit of that high to low skirt. I'm sorry for wearing my cardigan again, but the coats I brought did not go with this outfit at all :(

I hope you all have a HAPPY HUMP DAAAAAYYY!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!
