Making Smoothies

Lately, it has been extremely hot where I live: in the high 90s!! What better way to cool off then with a nice smoothie. Smoothies make for a heathly snack, and they also taste delicious. Today, me and my sister decided to try out our own recipe and make some smoothies for breakfast. They turned out very well, and they were so easy to make. All you need is: 1 cup of strawberries, 1 cup of mango, 1 cup of milk, and 6 to 8 ice cubes. Mix the strawberries, mango, and milk for about thirty seconds. Then, add the ice cubes and mix until it is smooth. (Add sugar to taste.) Hope you guys enjoy!!

Summer 2011 Trends: Fashion

1. White
I absolutely love the color white, and I think that it definitely works well in the summer beacuse it compliments tan skin. I love wearing white dresses and white shorts with dark wash denim shorts or jeans. You will definitely catch me rocking my white this summer! (:

2. Color Blocking

Color blocking is definitely a rising trend on the runway and within celebrities. I think that the look is bold, and looks great on anyway who is fashion forward enough to pull it off. This is not a style of clothing that I would wear daily, but I am definitely planning to make a video on it.

3. Denim
I can not express how much I love this trend. Denim has been seen on the runway, but it is also perfect for an everyday outfit. I think a touch of denim can take a regular, boring outfit and jazz it up a little. Denim is perfect for anyone of any age, and it is so easy to pair with outfits.

4. Lace
Lace has been seen all over the runway this spring and summer season. I think that it is perfect for a hot summery day. Lace makes an easy pair for a simple bandeau or a swim suit. I look forward to wearing my lace as a cover-up to the beach and pool this summer. (:

5. Patterns/ Print
Lastly, prints. I think that prints are always in style, and it is perfect for any season. Animal print makes for a nice sophisticated look, whereas florals make for a nice springy look. From animal print, to floral print, to abstract print, this is the trend that I am most excited about.
