Top Ten Teen Clothing Stores To Shop At

Top Ten Teen Clothing Stores To $hop At:

* I made my own list of what I thought was the top ten places for teens to shop at.*
  1. Abercrombie and Fitch: A popular clothing store in the mall. They are always getting the latest clothes in their store. Although, it is not the cheapest place to shop. The cheapest thing in there is probably $20. Sometimes, they have models that stand outside their store and show off their clothes.
  2. Aeropostale: This is also a popular store in the mall. They mostly sell slim fitted shirts and pants/shorts/capris. Aeropostale's clothes are much cheaper than some of the other popular stores. Most people shop there because of that reason. The best time to shop there is in the spring and summer.                                                                                
  3. American Eagle: The clothes that American Eagle sells are more casual and modern. Personally, it is one of my favorite stores to shop. It is not as cheap as Aeropostale, but it is not as expensive as Abercrombie and Fitch. That is the best place to get jeans in the fall/winter time.
  4. Charlotte Russe: This store is for teens that like to express themselves more in clothing. There are not many "normal" clothes in this store. They are all eye catching and exotic. Their clothes are very reasonable at pricing. 
  5. dELiA's: Unlike the other stores, there is not many dELiA's around. It is kind of a mixture between American Eagle and Aeropostale. dELiA's mostly sells modern slim fitted shirts and different colored pants. They are somewhat expensive.
  6. Forever 21: This is my all time favorite store! This store has any piece of clothing you can possibly think of. They sell modern and vintage clothing. The prices are very reasonable and they have more jewelry than any other clothing store I know!
  7. Hollister: This store is similar to Abercrombie and Fitch. They sell pretty much the same kind of clothes. Hollister is always updated on the latest fashion sense. Pricing at Hollister is a tad bit cheaper than Abercrombie & Fitch, but not too much cheaper.
  8. Pac Sun: Pac Sun is the type of store that sells clothes you would see being worn in the beachy parts of California. It is kind of like surfing clothes. I never seem to find anything I like in there, but it still seems to be popular to other people. Some of their clothing is expensive and some of it is cheaper.
  9. Urban Outfitters: The only clothing Urban Outfitters sells is vintage clothing. Everything in that store looks like something you'd wear 20 years ago. But, the vintage look is very popular today and you see a lot of that type of clothing in magazines. It is a very expensive store.
  10. Victoria Secret PINK: The Victoria Secret PINK collection is made up of sweat pants, hoodies, and t-shirts. Also, yoga pants are part of the collection as well. This is the place where teens and most college students shop at. They are very pricey, but it's worth it.

How to curl your hair with a flat iron


Before you do this hair style, make sure these apply to you:

  • You have shoulder length hair
  • Make sure you haven’t washed your hair, the more dirty the hair, the better it will curl.
  • Do not straighten your hair before you curl it.

Step one: Make sure you have the following materials: flat iron, blow dryer, hair brush, hair ties/clips, mirror, heat protecting serum (optional), and hair spray.

Step two: Plug in the flat iron and heat it to a desirable temperature (approx. 380-430 degrees). Make sure there are NO wet spots in your hair. Flat ironing your hair while wet or damp can cause damage and frying to hair. If you choose to use heat protecting serum, put a quarter size in your palm, and work it into your hair from root to tip.

Step three: Part your hair down the middle and clip back any extra parts if needed. It is best to curl your hair in sections. That way the curls will be more effective and more volume will be there.

Step four: Start at the base of your neck and take a small handful of hair and bring the flat iron to the top of your hair, near the roots. But, don’t let it touch your scalp, because you will burn yourself.

Step five: Now that you have your hair clamped, grab the hair that isn’t clamped and wrap it around the flat iron one time. The rest of your hair should be hanging straight.

Step six: Rotate the flat iron, while your hair is still clamped in between the two plates. Make the flat iron do a full 360° turn and stop when your hair is hanging straight down again.

Step seven: After the flat iron has been turned all the way in a full circle, slowly pull the hair through the flat iron. The slower you pull, the more defined your curls will be.

Step eight: Wrap your finger around the curl and spray it with hair spray. Only spray each section for about three seconds.
Repeat all these steps until you have curled your whole head and enjoy!!

Pocketbooks for Spring/Summer

Jesse Livermore once said:
A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does damage to the pocketbook and soul. 

A pocketbook can say a lot about a person. It can describe their mood and their style, just like clothes can. People change pocketbooks like that change clothes, all the time. Most pocketbooks usually match the clothes you are wearing. They are a fun accessory to have and they are handy for holding anything you might need to take with you. The pocketbooks that I will be giving some information on are the most popular for spring and summer. It is the hottest trend in today's fashion.

A very popular and demanding pocketbook for the spring and summer time is the Coach purses. They might be a little expensive, depending on the style, but they are the hottest pocketbook to be carrying around. There are many different kinds of styles to choose from. The pocketbooks range from about $175 to up too $545. The quality of the purses are excellent and they never seem to rip or damage. They are very cute and it's perfect to carry for the spring or summer. They are a great gift to ask for!

Another popular pocketbook, especially for teenagers and college students are the Vera Bradley purses. These pocketbooks come in all different colors and designs. The most popular Vera Bradley purses are the bowler and hipster. The bowler pocketbook literally looks like a pocketbook you would carry a bowling ball in. It is one of their most popular sellers and it can hold a lot of stuff. The second popular is the hipster. This is good for going on vacations, amusement parks, and shopping. It goes over your shoulder and falls on your hip. It's not that much to keep up with and it keeps you from carrying a lot of stuff around in your pocketbook. Vera Bradley pocketbooks range from about $45 to $90. They are much cheaper than the Coach pocketbooks, and the quality is just as good!

The Hottest Shoes! Did you know?


Famous artist and R&B rapper, Usher, said that is somebody steps on your shoes and ruins them, don't freak out..get a new pair of shoes. If you miss something, don't freak out.. there's nothing you can do to change it, move on. There are a lot of shoes that seem to be in style here lately. The most popular shoes are Toms, Rainbows, Sperry’s, and Uggs


Toms are the most popular because every time someone buys a pair of Toms, another pair of Toms is donated to a kid in need of a pair of shoes. Toms can range from $45 to $85. 


Rainbows are the hottest flip flop out there. They come in colors of black, brown, white, pink, red, navy blue, and green. They are pretty expensive for a pair of flip flops. But, that hasn’t stopped the population on teenagers and young people buying them. Some of them also have diamonds on the band. The price ranges for Rainbows are around $40 to $60. 


Sperry’s are another demanding shoe everyone wants to wear. They are a comfortable slide on shoe and are made for people all ages. The good thing about Sperry’s is that they are waterproof and aren’t that expensive. They range from about $57 to $87. Sperry’s are made for everyone of all ages and that is another reason why they are so popular. 


The Uggs are a big demand in the winter time, but yet, most people still continue to wear them year round, mostly celebrities. Uggs are a type of boot made in Australia. They are usually brown or black on the outside, and the inside if filled with warm and soft fur. Most people wear Ugg boots with skinny jeans tucked inside the boot. The latest version of Uggs has sequences covered on the outside. They are a must buy for winter! Uggs usually have a price range at $89 to $160 dollars. They are the most expensive popular shoe, but they are definitely worth the money. 


If you don’t have a pair of Toms, Rainbows, Sperry’s, or Uggs, I’d advise you to go to your local shoe store and check them out!

Why Fashion?



I chose to do a blog on the latest fashion and what’s hot and what’s not. I think it is important for everyone to be updated on the fashion sense of today’s world. I’ve always been interested in fashion and being up to date on the latest clothing, accessories, and styles.


 I’m always going shopping looking for the latest and greatest. Fashion is a way to express your personality in clothing form. What you wear can describe a lot about who you are. The most important items of fashion are: shirts, pants, dresses, accessories, hand bags, and shoes. This blog will cover all of these items in a fun way.


 I will also give tips on shopping and how to match your clothes correctly. I will also tell you about my favorite aspects of fashion and why I take it so seriously. I will express my opinion on what I think is hot and what’s not. It is important to be aware of what famous fashion designers are designing and what they think is in style. I will be giving tips from famous designers and tabloids as well. 


I might touch a little bit on make-up and hair styles that will go along with what you are wearing. There are also certain hair styles and ways to put on make-up that are in style, believe it or not. 


The main purpose of this blog is to help the people of society be up to date with what is going on in the fashion world. I will be giving a lot of tips that hopefully you can use to help you better yourself. It is just a fun blog to help express your inner beauty with the outer clothes. People that are interested in fashion remind me of the perfect live Barbie doll that you can dress up.
