Chanel 2012 Resort collection

So I recently came across the runway show of Chanel's 2012 Resort Collection and I absolutely love this look. This particular look reminded me of the original Barbie. So classy.

Happy Frappe

I don't know about you guys but here in St. Louis it has been 96 degrees the past few days and it's killin' me. It's not even August yet! Plus on top of the heat, we have been hosting a very unwanted group of friends -- cicadas. Nasty Nasty Nasty. So I have been trying to find the best way to keep cool physically and mentally through this week and I think I've found it...a nice refreshing home-made frappucino. I tried out a few different recipes and found this one to be the best (however, still not quite comparable to Starbucks, sorry :/) I also made it a low-cal version by using Splenda instead of sugar, skim milk, and a no cal. sugar free chocolate syrup (here) but you can use any flavor you want. I want to try a caramel one next.

Result: pure bliss for about 10 minutes, then It's back to the buzzing cicadas.

StyleMint

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen have a new website that will be opening soon called StyleMint. I am very excited about it because I heard that their focus is the T-Shirt, which theirs will be $29.99 (not too shabby.) Anyways, the website isn’t open yet but you can sign up to be on their pre-launch e-mail list! Which I strongly urge you to do because you can get some great +’s out of it! So click the link and get your booty’s over there!

Met Gala '11

Ok guys, so we have all heard about the amazing gowns worn to this years Met Gala. This year's gala of all years had some extraordinary dresses thanks to its Alexander McQueen- honoring theme.

Has anyone got a chance to check out some of the dresses? If so, which were your favorites?

Here are a few of the ones I really liked:

-Lala Vasquez wore Carmelo Anthony

-Jessica Stam wore Tommy Hilfiger

-Ashley Olsen wore Vintage Christian Dior Haute Couture

DIY: Lingerie Hamper

I am terrible, I said I would do it the next day but heading home from school and seeing my family just kept me pretty busy.

Anyways, it kind of works out because my mom gave me an even better DIY idea than what I had (i'll probably put it in at a later time anyways.) This weekend, my mom and I made lingerie hampers. They are so cute and very very simple to make.

All you need is:

a pretty patterned pillow case

an embroidery ring (we used a 12 inch ring)

a 10 inch long ribbon

Just clamp the end of the case to the embroidery ring, and tie on a loop of the ribbon to the hoop's clamp. That's it!

Ramblings..

This is yet another unimportant post, I am just very happy! I have this darn Bio class that I am taking and it is very VERY hard. WELL, I just got a B+ on my last exam, talked to my professor and found out that if I work that hard for my final exam, then I will be passing the class with a B+ or even an A!!! WOO! That's a breath of fresh air folks, you have no idea.

Anyways, enough yakkin.. It is Wednesday and I am heading home in 2 days! I cannot wait to see my beautiful family for a wonderful holiday (& great food.) The only thing that could make today better is to be at the beautiful beach! love it!

Even though I only have (2) followers haha, I might do a DIY for my next post. Mainly just for my own entertainment, and just in case there's a straggler out there who just happens to see.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

NERDS!

This post doesn't really have anything to do with anything. I just wanted to write about how much I love my roommate! Friday night, she went to her business societies formal and came back a little intoxicated [just a little bit ;)] That night I had stayed in because I wasn't felling well at all and was getting sick all night (ew, I know) when she got back, she walked me to the bathroom (or in her case, stumbled) to make sure I was ok while brushing my teeth. Then she cleaned off my bed (and left many notes explaining where she put everything) She tucked me in and made me pinky promise that my feet were covered. So cute.

It was really fun telling her all about the next morning :)

Oh, and then last night we went to a Nerd Party together. Yea, I know...

Bobbi Brown

Ok, so I found out while reading one of the blogs I follow daily (here) by the wonderful M.A.C makeup artist Breanna, that today kicks off the 3 day Bobbi Brown Friends and Family Event. You will get 20% off your purchase from Bobbi Brown's website. Plus, you can get free standard shipping if you spend $65. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Bobbi Brown is known for her simplicity look. She believes in making the best you. Which means she doesn't like caking on the make-up until you can't recognize yourself. Her make-up will just enhance your already-there beauty. Now, get your booties over there and shop!

Hello, So Very Nice to Meet You.

Soo..right now I am sitting in a cubicle-like room "listening" to the Boyfriend practice his speech about Anabolic Steroids for his Communications class. So gosh darn cute because I have no idea what he is saying, but as long as I look up from my computer every few minutes and nod, he's content, so that leads to my contentness :) You may have noticed that contentness is most likely not a word, you should know up front that I, Hannah Shackles, make up words when I cannot find one good enough to fit. I am a 19 year old Disney fan. Oh, and I also bite my nails (nasty habit, I know.) So now that we have everything important out on the table, I feel like we are closer :) Yay us!
